The Visceral Adiposity Measurement and Observation Study
The investigators intend to audit the impact of optimal injection technique education delivered through a multimodal tailored approach augmented with a digital 'tailorable' patient learning platform on clinical parameters and self-care behaviours of insulin treated patients in a prospective audit with follow-up in 6 months, conducted in multiple sites across Belgium. Diabetes patients with or without lipohypertrophy will be entered into the audit. The end points measured will include the impact on consumption of insulin, long term blood glucose control (HbA1c), hypoglycaemia, glucose variability, needle reuse, patient injection habits and clinician education, training and information inputs.
This is a prospective, post-marketing, single-arm clinical investigation on the effects of optimal insulin injection technique, in conjunction with the use of disposable Becton Dickinson (BD) Micro-Fine Plus 32G pen needles, by Type I and Type II Diabetes Mellitus patients, with or without lipohypertrophy, on clinical outcomes like HbA1c and hypoglycemic events, as well as changes in insulin Total Daily Dose (TDD) and patient's Quality of Life (QoL). During this study, each subject will be trained in the optimal insulin injection technique by personal training as well as by following online video training modules on a specific web-based platform.
This study will use ultrasound to characterise lipohypertrophy(LH) and assess the impact of LH on glucose variability in adults with type 1 diabetes. LH is a condition that occurs with repeated exposure to insulin at injection sites, resulting in the development of subcutaneous fatty lumps that impede the absorption of insulin. LH can lead to glucose variability, increased risk of severe hypoglycaemia and diabetes distress. In the long term it can therefore lead to increased risk of diabetes complications and increased insulin costs.
