Brief Summary

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

Amidst medical innovations, many Type 1 diabetes patients using advanced therapy show improved control but still suffer from diabetes-related distress. To tackle this, the investigators propose an "enhanced care" model involving healthcare providers and pharmacists. The study compares standard and enhanced care for Type 1 adults, focusing on the pharmacist's role.

The main question it aims to answer is : In patients with type 1 diabetes treated with pump or closed-loop therapy, does the improved enhanced care versus conventional layout improve diabetes-related distress at 12 months?

Participants will complete a monthly online questionnaire to assess their diabetes-related distress as well as their frequency of use of standard and enhanced care as well as the associated patient satisfaction.

Detailed Description

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

Amidst accelerating innovations in care and limited medical time, many patients with Type 1 diabetes treated by pump or closed-loop therapy appear to have improved glycaemic control, but still experience significant diabetes-related distress.

The investigators therefore propose that a new form of patient care service provided by a health service provider and the patient's pharmacist, as part of the new type of care called "enhanced care", could contribute to overcoming this challenge.

This study compares two different care services provided to adult patients with Type 1 diabetes (PwT1D) treated with an insulin pump or a closed-loop system, known as standard care and enhanced care, the main difference between which lies in the pharmacist's involvement in the enhanced care model.

The originality of this project lies in several points:

* Firstly, it involves evaluating a new care model called enhanced care, which has the original feature of including the involvement of the patient's dispensing pharmacist.
* The role of home support providers in the psychological aspects of diabetes is poorly documented in the scientific literature.

Diabetes-related distress is a well-known complication, but means of prevention remain inadequate. This study integrates live collection of patient data, by the patient. Patient experience is an innovative approach that plays an increasingly important role in the evaluation of new management approaches.

* In addition to patient data, this study integrates data from pharmacists and physicians. These data will be used to compare the points of view of healthcare professionals and patients, in order to gain a precise idea of the service provided by the enhanced care. In itself, this comparison could contribute to identifying and understanding the difference in the points of view of healthcare professionals and patients.
* While there is a wealth of literature demonstrating the value of pharmacist involvement in the care of Type 2 diabetic patients, such information is lacking for Type 1 diabetes. This study, aimed at investigating the impact of the pharmacist, specifically on the distress of patients undergoing highly technical treatment, is therefore original.
* Finally, the design of this pragmatic, randomized study enables real-life practices to be analyzed, while maintaining the highest possible level of evidence.

Study Groups

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

Control arm (Standard Care)

these patients will continue with their current home support provider's standard care

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Interventional arm (Enhanced Care)

these patients will be prescribed the enhanced care model to replace the standard care provided by their current home support provider. Patients are informed that they can return to standard care at the end of the study period (1 year), or at any time if they wish to leave the study.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

enhanced care model provided by Timkl, a home support provider

Intervention Type OTHER

A new type of care provided by timkl, a home support provider, involving nurses and the dispensing pharmacist. This approach combines the current tasks of the service provider's nurses with closer monitoring by the pharmacist, thanks to more frequent contacts and a holistic view of the patient.
