Structured Education Based on New Glucose Management Devices in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

In 50 patients with type 1 diabetes with over 7% of glycated hemoglobin, whose blood glucose level is not well controlled, and who are undergoing multiple daily insulin injection therapy or insulin pump therapy, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is applied to obtain basal continuous glucose levels for 1 week (window period of 2 week). These 50 patients are 1:1 randomly assigned to 2 groups including control group and intervention group. Control group (n=25) applied CGM without structured education and after 3 months of applying CGM, continuous glucose data for 2 consecutive weeks and HbA1c level, and other glycometabolic parameters are collected. As a sequential extension clinical trial, those 25 patients in control group are provided structured education, followed by applying CGM for 3 months. Continuous glucose levels for 2 consecutive weeks and HbA1c level, and other glycometabolic parameters are collected. In Intervention group (n=25), structured education program is provided for each patient from the time of enrollment, followed by applying CGM for 3 months. Continuous glucose levels for 2 consecutive weeks and HbA1c level and other blood tests are performed after the 3 months.
