Device: InsuPad
Use of the InsuPad for at least 3 times a day. |
- Efficacy [ Time Frame: 3 months ]The primary endpoint of the study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority (margin of 0.4%) for overall glycaemic control defined as HbA1c of a treatment regimen applying InsuPad combined with an insulin dose reduction of >10% in the test group compared to the control group not using InsuPad.
- Safety [ Time Frame: 3 months ]compare the Frequency of mild hypoglycaemia events (Blood Glucose < 63 mg/dl or 3. 5 mmol/l) with InsuPad and without InsuPad.
