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 that Finesse, for prandial insulin bolusing when used in conjunction with basal insulin, achieves equivalent glycemic control when compared to multiple daily injections and to evaluate its preference.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The aim of this feasibility study is to compare efficacy, device satisfaction and quality of life (QOL) in people with type 1 or 2 diabetes delivering mealtime insulin using a novel insulin bolus-patch (Finesse™; Calibra Medical, Inc., Redwood City, CA) versus current devices that deliver bolus insulin (pen/syringe). All subjects injected their basal insulin using their current pen/syringe.
