Brazilian multicenter study for the evaluation of patients’ satisfaction of blood glucose self-monitoring with BGStar® blood glucose meter in insulinized patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 and 2
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is considered a global epidemic, and patient self-management education and support are critical in preventing and reducing the risk of complications. Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is essential for care of individuals with DM, helping patients to achieve and maintain target blood glucose levels. The purpose of this study is to compare the satisfaction of insulinized DM patients on SMBG with use of investigational blood glucose meter (BGM) versus their routine device. METHODS: A national, multicenter, open-label, phase 4 study was conducted on patients with type 1 or 2 DM under insulin therapy regimen, who were asked to use investigational BGM instead of their usual BGM device. The study was performed in 12 centers in Brazil for 12 weeks, with an extension period of 12 weeks. The primary endpoint was to measure the variation on the patients' level of satisfaction with investigational versus routine BGM, between visits, using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Secondary endpoints addressed handling aspects, satisfaction, adherence and level of functionality and safety of investigational BGM. RESULTS: The study included 292 patients (36.6 % DM1 and 63.4 % DM2), mean age 50.9 years old (±17.3 years), 57.5 % females. There was statistically significant improvement in global satisfaction with investigational BGM compared with routine BGM according to VAS [mean VAS score raised from 78.8 mm (SD = 18.0) to 90.8 mm (SD = 12.2) between visits]. After 12 weeks, level of satisfaction with investigational BGM according to questionnaires was superior to routine BGM regardless of age group (p < 0.001), type of DM (p < 0.001) or insulin regimen (p < 0.001). Investigational BGM was also regarded as safe, with 10 patients (3.4 %) reporting a total of 13 adverse events during the study. CONCLUSIONS: Levels of satisfaction during SMBG were higher with use of investigational BGM and the device was deemed safe and easy to handle.

In a Brazilian national multicenter study, acceptance of SMBG varied depending on the device used (time for results, amount of blood needed, technology) and people's characteristics (age, glycemic control).
“a national multicenter study showed that acceptance of SMBG varied depending both on the device used (considering time for getting results, amount of blood needed, technology used) and peoples’ characteristics (age, glycemic control) [64].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
