About

This is a multi-center, single-blind, parallel group, randomized controlled trial to access the effect and safety of the Artificial Intelligence Assisted Insulin Titration System (iNCDSS) in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Full description

As one of the most common treatments for diabetes inpatients, insulin regimens often vary due to different physicians. Since 2016, Zhongshan Hospital has set up the Internet-based glucose management system (iGMS) to monitor plasma glucose of diabetes patients, and further set up an Artificial Intelligence Assisted Insulin Titration System (iNCDSS) to recommend insulin regime in 2019. Previous single-center clinical trial (NCT04053959) have indicated the efficacy and safety of iNCDSS in glycemic management in patients with type 2 diabetes.

This multi-center study enrolls 142 patients with Type 2 Diabetes from three sites who are on treatment of diabetes for at least 3 months. They will be randomly allocated into 2 groups at a ratio of 1:1 after screening for the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients in the Intervention group (iNCDSS group) receive insulin regimen set by iNCDSS and patients in Regular treatment regime group receive insulin regimen recommended by endocrinologists.

This study will be conducted in the Department of Endocrinology in Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital, Shanghai fifth People's Hospital, Shanghai Xuhui Central Hospital, and will consist of a 5-day intervention period. Patient allocation will be stratified by HbA1c and sites. The primary endpoint is the time in target glucose range during the trial period.
