Brief Summary

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

GlucoTab is a stand-alone software system to support healthcare professionals in the care of patients with diabetes mellitus or newly diagnosed hyperglycaemia who are treated with insulin and/or other glucose-lowering drugs or of patients only requiring glucose monitoring.

It provides a therapy algorithm for subcutaneous basal insulin therapy of patients with type 2 diabetes, which will be used in this study.

Detailed Description

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

GlucoTab: The CE-marked medical device GlucoTab is a system designed to support healthcare personnel in managing insulin therapy for patients with diabetes.

In this study, only the GlucoTab algorithm supported basalinsulin therapy will be used, which is intended for patients with Type 2 diabetes in domiciliary nursing care and nursing homes requiring insulin therapy.

GlucoTab Prospective Group

GlucoTab

Intervention Type DEVICE

Insulin therapy will be started and adjusted according to the GlucoTab system with incorporated software algorithm. The goal of the basal-insulin algorithm is to maintain blood glucose within acceptable targets according to the predefined health status.

For a limited time period after therapy start, three measurements per day are suggested by the algorithm to determine blood glucose. Insulin dosage titration will be performed according to the algorithm in GlucoTab under supervision of the nurses of the nursing homes/domiciliary nursing care. Correctional bolus insulin will be administered at defined time-points according to BG targets in the predefined health status.

Nurses and nursing assistants will be trained in the use of the GlucoTab.
