Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary outcome variable is the reduction in the HbA1c value in the intervention group using the My Dose Coach app compared to the control group without using the My Dose Coach app over a 12-week follow-up period. The HbA1c (from the patient file or current determination in the central laboratory) is collected at the beginning and at the end of the study.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary outcome variables are: diabetes distress (coping with difficulties and reducing stress), diabetes self-management (therapy adherence), empowerment, expectation of self-efficacy and therapy satisfaction (patient sovereignty), psychological well-being (quality of life). These variables are recorded using various validated questionnaires. Furthermore, to record the quality of the diabetes therapy, glucose data from the blood glucose measuring systems are read out and evaluated.
