About

This trial is a randomized, multi-center, parallel-group, efficacy and safety study with a 26-weeks follow- up(after 2-week recruitment). The study aims to: 1)compare the effects of novel flash glucose monitoring system (FGMS) and conventional Self Measurement of Blood Glucose (SMBG); and 2) optimize integrated management for glycaemic control in adult patients with type 1 diabetes who are sub-optimally controlled.

Full description

Subjects with Type 1 diabetes who meet criteria will be enrolled at up to eight clinical research sites in China. Subjects will be randomized to either flash glucose monitoring system(Freestyle Libre®;Abbott Diabetes Care,Witney, Oxon,UK) or conventional Self Measurement of Blood Glucose (Bayer®)alone at least three times per day. Primary outcome variable is the difference in HbA1c which will be analyzed in a central laboratory between baseline and the 26weeks follow-up. Secondary outcome variables such as time-in-range, frequency and duration of and hyperglycemic episodes etc. will be assessed at baseline (Week 0 to 2), Week 12-14 and Week 24-26 via professional continuous glucose system (Ipro2®; Medtronic). At the same time, demographic factors, clinical data, patient reported outcome (PROs) will be collected. Assessment of Adverse Events will occur via self-reporting at each visit and/or phone call. All patients will receive same ordinary diabetes education.
