Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To investigate the efficacy of the GlucoTab system for glycaemic management in non-critically ill patients with type 2 diabetes at different general wards;Secondary Objective: To investigate safety, usability and further efficacy parameters of the GlucoTab system.;Primary end point(s): Mean percentage of blood glucose measurements in the target range 70 to 140 mg/dl, as calculated by all premeal and bedtime glucose values measured = 24 hours after start of therapy.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Length of GlucoTab treatment

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Length of GlucoTab treatment;Secondary end point(s): Safety: - Number of hypoglycaemic episodes requiring third party help - Number of blood glucose measurements per day - Number of missed blood glucose measurements per day - Number of additionally required blood glucose measurements - Insulin dose - basal, bolus and corrective insulin dose per day - Number of insulin injections per day - Number and reasons for non-performance of insulin injections per day - Relevant concomitant medication (corticosteroids, parenteral bolus nutrition) Usability: - Adherence to the insulin dose suggestion of the GlucoTab system - User satisfaction with the GlucoTab system regarding the user interface and the provided functionality - Malfunctions of the GlucoTab system - Other usability parameters like user workload and support of treatment workflow Efficacy: - Mean daily blood glucose as calculated by premeal and bedtime glucose values: Overall and per treatment day. - Mean pre-breakfast blood glucose, mean pre-lunch blood glucose, mean pre-dinner blood glucose, mean bedtime blood glucose - Mean pre-enrolment blood glucose - Number and percentage of the following ranges: 0-140-140-<180 mg/dl, 180-<300 mg/dl, = 300 mg/dl
