Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
The aim of this study is to monitor the performance of on-market (CE marked) blood glucose monitoring systems (blood glucose meters and test strips) designed for people with diabetes to test their blood glucose, especially those people who take insulin. These systems are used as part of standard care of diabetes and are freely available to buy on the market.

Who can participate?
Patients over 16 years of age with diabetes who are willing to provide a blood sample for analysis.

What does the study involve?
You will visit a diabetes clinic or suitable outpatient clinic. The visit is expected to last about 5 to 20 minutes. You will give a blood sample either by venepuncture (the puncture of a vein) or by a fingerprick and the blood will be tested using both the blood glucose monitoring system and the reference method.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
There may be no direct benefit to the subject if they decide to take part in this study. However, the information gained from the results will make an important contribution to ensuring the blood glucose monitoring systems give reliable results for people with diabetes. The risks to taking part in this study are the same as those associated with routine self-blood glucose testing or giving a blood sample. These risks are small but could include pain, bruising, local infection and fainting caused by the lancet or needle used to obtain a blood sample.

Where is the study run from?
The Diabetes Centre, Ipswich Hospital NHS Trust (UK).

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
The study started in October 2014 and will finish in October 2024.

Who is funding the study?
Abbott Diabetes Care Ltd (UK).

Study objectivesThis aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of blood glucose monitoring systems on subjects with diabetes at the study site. The results will be evaluated by comparing results obtained using either venous whole blood obtained by venepuncture or capillary whole blood obtained from a fingerstick and then tested on the blood glucose monitoring system, to whole blood tested on the Yellow Spring Instrument (YSI analyser) reference method.

Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedDiabetes
InterventionEither:
Venepuncture will be performed and venous whole blood from the subject will be tested on the blood glucose monitoring system, the HemoCue analyser and the YSI analyser as whole blood
Or:
A fingerstick will be performed and capillary whole blood from the subject will be tested on the blood glucose monitoring system. The same fingerstick will be used to collect a blood sample to perform measurements on the HemoCue analyser and the YSI analyser as whole blood
