Impact of Accu-Chek 360 in Veterans With Type 2 Diabetes

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Type 2 Diabetes

In brief

To show that a structured treatment plan based upon Accu-Chek 360 View has a favorable effect on physician decision-making and HbA1c for patients on oral hypoglycemic agents (OHA) or insulin for type 2 diabetes (T2D). Hypothesis 1: Compared to controls, intervention subjects will undergo a greater number of medication changes and have a lower HbA1 at the conclusion of the study. Hypothesis 2: Higher rates of monitoring at entry will be associated with lower CHO consumption, lower percent body fat, higher medication compliance, and higher physical activity levels. Hypothesis 3: Patients with lower rates of monitoring at entry will have higher rates of depression, more likely to have an external locus of control, and express greater fear about self-testing.
