Efficacy of inControl Advice: A Decision Support System (DSS) for Diabetes

This study is a 12-week parallel group multi-center randomized trial designed to compare CGM+DSS with CGM alone. The DSS to be implemented contains a "smart" bolus advisor that adjusts the size of correction insulin boluses based on short term blood glucose predictions. It is able to complete this function by evaluating CGM values, insulin usage and carbohydrate intake record. It also contains an exercise advisor, a bedtime advisor, hypoglycemia risk and long-term tracker of HbA1c. inControl-Advice, a smart-phone based medical software platform, is designed to provide advice to users. It receives data from an insulin pen and then adjustments the insulin delivery every 5 minutes. The system provides a series of real-time alerts and on-demand advice, for both dosing of insulin and ingestion of carbohydrates, based on data collected from T1DM patients (i.e. carbohydrate consumption, insulin injected, CGM) and inConrol Cloud analytics.
