Study objectivesPrimary Objectives 1-3, Secondary Objectives 4-7:
1. To compare the benefits of the GlucoWatch and CGMS Minimed on glycemic control relative to conventional monitoring and an attention control.
2. To assess patient acceptability and ease of use of the new technologies.
3. To model the long-term health benefits and costs and cost-effectiveness of these technologies.
4. To assess the impact of the devices on health care utilisation for diabetes related illnesses e.g. hypoglycemia, ketosis.
5. To assess impact of monitoring devices on patient satisfaction with care, attitudes toward diabetes and quality of life.
6. To assess the extent to which demographic factors (e.g. age, ethnicity) and individual differences in health cognitions influence outcome.
7. To assess the reliability of the glucowatch in clinical practice using available data.
