Scientific titleGlucose Level Awareness (using self-monitoring of blood glucose [SMBG] and continuous glucose monitoring [CGM]) in Diabetes Study: a multicentre randomised controlled three-arm study
Study acronymGLADIS
Study objectivesTo demonstrate clinical benefit of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) relative to self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG).
Ethics approval(s)1. UK: Sheffield Research Ethics Committee, 21/12/2010, ref: 10/H1308/77
2. Germany: Stuttgart Ethics Committee, 02/12/2010, ref: F-2010-090
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedDiabetes
InterventionFollowing a 20 day masked (baseline) period using the Freestyle Navigator subjects will be randomised into one of 3 groups for the next 80 days:
1. The first group will wear the FreeStyle Navigator for the remaining duration of the study
2. The second group will wear the FreeStyle Navigator with glucose alarms switched off
3. The third (control) group will manage their blood glucose with standard SMBG and use a FreeStyle Navigator masked for two, 20-day periods between 40 to 60 days and 80 to 100 days

For all 3 groups, subjects will complete Quality of Life Questionnaires and have HbA1c measurements at both baseline and day 100.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureTime spent outside of glucose target: no alarms versus SMBG (days 80 - 100)
Secondary outcome measures1. Time spent outside of glucose target: no alarms versus CGM (days 80 - 100)
2. Time spent outside of glucose target: CGM versus SMBG (days 80 - 100)
3. Time spent outside of glucose target (days 40 - 60)
4. HbA1c
5. Average glucose (days 40 - 60 and 80 - 100)
6. Glucose variability (days 40 - 60 and 80 - 100)
7. Quality of life measures
8. Adverse events
