Trial Outcomes & Findings for ACCU-CHEK Connect Personal Diabetes Management Study (PDM CONNECT) (NCT NCT02600845)

NCT ID: NCT02600845

Last Updated: 2017-11-06

Results Overview

The Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for change from Baseline (DTSQc) to study end contains 6 items which can be rated from -3='much worse now' to 3='much better now'). The total score is the sum of the scores of the 6 items and ranges from -18 to 18. A higher score indicates more satisfaction. This questionnaire was administered at the end of the study (Week 24) only.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 24

Population: The full analysis set (FAS) was defined as all participants enrolled and trained who had provided data using the ACCU-CHEK Connect system within 14 days of Scheduled Visit 4 during the investigation, and had completed the DTSQc at Week 24. Data from evaluable participants are reported.

Participants rated their level of diabetes distress by answering 17 questions in in the following areas: Regimen-related Distress, Emotional Burden, Diabetes-related Interpersonal Distress and Physician-related Distress (PD) on a 6-point scale: 1=Not a problem to 6=A very serious problem. The Average Total score ranged from 1 (best) to 6 (worst). Results were calculated using a Linear Mixed Model with study group, visit, group-by-visit interaction, baseline DDS, gender, age, and race as fixed effects; and site and subject as random effects. A negative change from Baseline indicated improvement.
