Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Improvement of metabolic control [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Self Monitoring Blood Glucose and Intensive Education in terms of improvement of metabolic control expressed as HbA1c levels after 6 months.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Reduction in prandial Blood Glucose excursions [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Percentage of patients needing therapy modifications [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Percentage of patients reaching target HbA1c (i.e. <7.0%) [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Enrollment: 62
Study Start Date: March 2007
Study Completion Date: April 2010
Primary Completion Date: April 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: SMBG + intensive education
Patients will receive specific educational interventions to teach them how to perform Self monitoring Blood Glucose (SMBG), how to modify diet and level of physical activity according to blood glucose levels, and the actions to be undertaken in case of abnormal values (hypoglycemia, particularly elevated glucose levels). Patients will be instructed to modify their lifestyle habits (diet, physical activity) in order to reach specific goals (weight reduction, reduction in fat consumption intake, reduction in saturated fat intake, increase in fiber intake, regular physical activity.
 Behavioral: SMBG plus intensive education
No Intervention: Usual Care

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with Type 2 diabetes (known diabetes or new diagnosis) seen for the first time in the diabetes outpatient clinic;
  • Patients on treatment with OHA monotherapy (i.e. metformin alone or sulphonylureas alone or TZDs alone);
  • No need for insulin treatment;
  • Male and female patients, aged between 45-75 years;
  • Hba1c values between 7% and 9% included (considering a value of 6.0% as the upper limit of normal value)
  • No experience of self monitoring of blood glucose in the previous 12 months (SMBG performed with a frequency of < 1 times/week)
  • Ability and willingness to comply with all study requirements
  • Signature of consent form

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients incapable to perform SMBG
  • Patients needing insulin or multiple OHA association therapy
  • Patients needing a regular use of SMBG (e.g. frequent hypoglycemic episodes)
  • Diabetes care not exclusively managed by diabetic clinics
  • Patients with serious underlying medical or psychiatric condition
