is an electronic device designed to improve treatment adherence and insulin injection tracking. This randomized, single-center, pilot study assessed the clinical impact of on glycemic control and variability, treatment adherence, and satisfaction in patients with uncontrolled type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). We also compared these outcomes between the Active and Masked groups (with or without receiving reminders and app alerts). Sixteen patients completed the study: 10 in the Active group and 6 in the Masked group. Insulclock use was associated with a decrease in mean glucose (-27.0 mg/dL [1.5 mmol/L]; = 0.013), glucose standard deviation (-14.4 mg/dL [0.8 mmol/L]; = 0.003), and time above range (-12.5%; = 0.0026), and an increase in time in range (TIR) (+7%; = 0.038) in the overall population. The use of app information and alerts in the Active group was associated with an increase in TIR (+8%; = 0.026). We observed a -3.9 ( = 0.1352) and -5.4 ( = 0.032) reduction per month in the number of missed and mistimed insulin doses in the overall population, respectively. Most of the items of the Insulin Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (ITSQ) improved after 4 weeks of use. This pilot study points out an improvement in glycemic levels, adherence, and satisfaction in T1DM patients, supporting the development of clinical trials powered to confirm these effects.
是一种旨在提高治疗依从性和胰岛素注射追踪的电子设备。这项随机、单中心、试点研究评估了在未控制的 1 型糖尿病患者中,对血糖控制和变异性、治疗依从性和满意度的临床影响。我们还比较了主动组和掩蔽组(是否收到提醒和应用程序警报)之间的这些结果。16 名患者完成了研究:主动组 10 名,掩蔽组 6 名。Insulclock 的使用与平均血糖降低(-27.0mg/dL[1.5mmol/L]; = 0.013)、血糖标准差降低(-14.4mg/dL[0.8mmol/L]; = 0.003)和血糖高于范围的时间减少(-12.5%; = 0.0026)有关,范围时间(TIR)增加(+7%; = 0.038)在总体人群中。主动组使用应用程序信息和警报与 TIR 增加(+8%; = 0.026)有关。我们观察到,在总体人群中,每月错过和误时胰岛素剂量的数量分别减少了 3.9( = 0.1352)和 5.4( = 0.032)。Insulin Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire(ITSQ)的大多数项目在使用 4 周后都有所改善。这项试点研究指出,1 型糖尿病患者的血糖水平、依从性和满意度有所提高,支持开展有足够效力的临床试验来确认这些效果。
