Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the meal marker and reminder feature of the Contour meter along with education maintains or increases frequency of testing blood sugar after meals and enables behavioral changes that may lead to improvement in glycemic control.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Level1 Basic Meter Features

Adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes use only basic features (Level 1) to test their blood. The CONTOUR meter has the basic features such as small meter size, easy to use , No Coding™ technology, 5-second test time, small sample size (0.6 µL), automatic control solution marking, 480 reading memory capacity.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Education + new meter

Intervention Type DEVICE

Diabetes education and a new meter with basic features

Level 2 Advanced Meter Features

Adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes additionally access and use more advanced meter features(Level 2)during blood glucose testing. The advanced features include ability to mark blood glucose values as obtained before or after meals or to set an audible reminder to test.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Education + new meter + feature activation

Intervention Type DEVICE

Diabetes education and a new meter with advanced features
