Type2diabetes Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effect of Introduction of FreeStyle Libre Monitoring on Glycaemic Control in People With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM)
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if blood sugar monitoring using a FreeStyle Libre device can improve overall Diabetes control in people with Type 2 Diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the effect of monitoring using the FreeStyle Libre device for a period of 12 weeks on the blood sugar control of people with Type 2 Diabetes? - Can monitoring using the FreeStyle Libre device improve the quality of life of people with Type 2 diabetes? Participants will be asked to wear one of two brands of FreeStyle Libre devices. In one group, participants will have 3 visits, while those in the second group, they will have 4 visits. Researchers will compare the improvement in the sugar control for the individuals but also compare between the 2 groups.
This is a prospective, randomised, open-labelled, non-CTIMP, pilot study. Participants meeting the inclusion criteria and who have consented to participate in the study will be randomised on a 1:1 ratio to receive either Libre 2 or Libre pro iQ. Randomisation will be carried out using an online randomisation tool to allocate a participant to a treatment group. The study will consist of three visits (Libre 2 arm) and four visits (Libre pro iQ arm). The study will be completed over 12 weeks. ;
