Brief summary

To understand if Multiple Daily Injections (MDI) managed subjects can improve glycaemic control by; 1. regularly checking and understanding Continuous Glucose data & trend arrows at times other than the standard pre-meal bolus calculation test times and 2. review of their glucose profiles (inc. hypoglycaemic risks) with their Health Care Professional (HCP) and adjusting behaviours & therapy from interpretation of the Continuous Glucose profiles.

Pre-assignment details

A total of 105 subjects consented and enrolled into the study. Eighteen of these withdrew before randomisation or failed screening. Eighty-seven (87) subjects were randomised and 79 completed the study.
