A Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial: SMC-01: A Mobile Medical Application to Improve Self-Management of Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

JRCT ID: jRCT2032200033

Registered date:17/05/2020

Basic Information

• Recruitment status: Complete
• Health condition(s) or Problem(s) studied: Type 2 Diabetes
• Date of first enrollment: 11/05/2020
• Target sample size: 200
• Study type: Interventional
• Intervention(s): Subjects assigned to the SMC-01 group will use the SMC-01 in conjunction with self-management between visits. In contrast, subjects assigned to the control group practice normal self-management. In both the SMC-01 and control groups, subjects will be provided with a blood pressure meter and a body weight meter, and they will use these instruments as necessary for self-management between visits.

Outcome(s)

• Primary Outcome: Change in HbA1c from baseline at the end of the treatment period

Secondary Outcome

HbA1c
Fasting Blood Glucose
Fasting Insulin
Fasting Intact Proinsulin to Insulin Ratio
Self Management Adherence Rate
