Overview
The goal of this randomized controlled study is to assess the clinical performance and safety of Hedia Diabetes Assistant in adults with type 1 diabetes and suboptimal glycemic control in France. The main question to answer is:
- Does Hedia Diabetes Assistant improve glycemic control? Researchers will compare Hedia Diabetes Assistant in addition to standard treatment to standard treatment alone to see if Hedia Diabetes Assistant can improve glycemic control.
Subjects will:
- Use Hedia Diabetes Assistant in addition to their standard treatment or only use standard treatment for 6 months.
- Visit the clinic once when they are included into the study and will otherwise be followed remotely.
- Fill out questionnaires when they are included and after 6 months.
Description
This randomized controlled trial will enroll 154 adults with type 1 diabetes who have suboptimal glycemic control and are treated with multiple daily injections (MDI) of insulin using a pen-based basal-bolus regimen. Subjects must be using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) as part of their standard care and be telemonitored.
The study will be conducted at multiple centres in France, with each subject followed for a total duration of six months. During this period, they will have one in-person visit and two follow-up assessments conducted via phone. Data will be collected through the telemonitoring platform.
Subjects will be randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group. The intervention group will use the Hedia Diabetes Assistant in addition to their standard treatment for six months, while the control group will continue with their standard treatment.
