Details and patient eligibility

About

In this study, subjects with insufficient metabolic control despite optimized basal-bolus injection regimens were randomily assigned to either the Mini- Med Paradigm REAL-Time insulin pump (PRT), an insulin pump that can receive and display CGM data from a separate subcutaneous glucose sensor, or conventional CSII, and compared glycemic outcomes after 6 months.

Full description

The long-term clinical benefit of tight glycemic control in people with diabetes is well known . HbA1c generally assesses the average/long term quality of glycemic control, it has been clearly demonstrated that a target of HbA1c at 7.0% or less has benefits for diabetic patients

Inclusion criteria

Patient has signed informed consent form prior to study entry.
Patients have been diagnosed with Type 1 DM at least 12 months prior to inclusion.
Patients should have been received diabetes care from the investigator of each center at least 3 months prior to inclusion.
Patients have been treated with multiple daily injections and use rapid Insulin Analog for their meal prior to study entry.
Have an HbA1c value ≥ 8 %.
Pediatric patients must be aged between 2 and 18 years old and adult patients be aged between 19 and 65 years old.
Patients must perform at least 3 self-monitoring blood glucose finger-sticks daily.
Patients from PRT group must be willing to wear sensors and transmitter connected to the pump Paradigm® Real-Time for up to 24 weeks and to change sensors, insulin infusion sets and reservoirs every 3 days (~60 times during the study period ).
Patients from CSII group must be willing to wear an insulin pump, change insulin infusion sets, and reservoirs every 3 days (~60 times during the study period ).
Patient is required to use the Paradigm® Real-Time system at least 70% of the time during the study period.
Patients in both groups are required to wear at the beginning and the end of the study a CGMS for 3 days. and to perform 6 self-monitoring blood glucose finger-sticks daily during the 3 days.
Patients must be willing to undergo all study procedures, to receive a technical training to understand how to use the Paradigm® Real-Time System or the Insulin Pump depending of the randomization.
Patients must agree to receive a training on how to adapt their insulin doses to their meals, how to calculate and apply corrective treatment.
