Scientific titleUser Evaluation of the DexCom™ SEVEN.2 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System: a single-centre prospective non-randomised masked/un-masked intervention study
Study objectivesThe study intends to evaluate user experience with the DexCom™ SEVEN.2 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System in the home environment and the effect of its use on glycaemic control.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics Committee of Hannover Medical School approved on the 28th November 2008
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedType 1 diabetes mellitus
InterventionDuring baseline Phase 1 (duration 21 days), subjects will be masked to the display of the DexCom™ SEVEN.2 continuous glucose readings. Subjects will calibrate the DexCom™ SEVEN.2 Receiver using standard fingerstick blood glucose testing with test strips. Subjects will manage their diabetes based upon the blood glucose measurements using their established regimen prescribed by their healthcare professional prior to study enrolment.

At the end of the Phase 1, subjects will return to the clinic to have their DexCom™ SEVEN.2 systems set to display continuous glucose readings and enable low and high glucose alarms. Subjects will continue for the rest of the study using the DexCom™ SEVEN.2 system as an adjunctive device to guide glucose management according to its intended use and warnings given in the User's Guide along with the advice of the study Investigator.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureTo evaluate improvement in glycaemic variability in children, adolescents, and young adults, particularly in the reduction of the number of hypo- and hyper-glycaemic events, reduction of time spent outside of euglycemia glucose range, and reduction of glucose variability (standard deviation) through use of the DexCom™ SEVEN.2 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System, between masked and un-masked period.
Secondary outcome measuresTo evaluate user experience with the DexCom™ SEVEN.2 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System. The HbA1C level will also be evaluated; the unmasked baseline phase A1C will serve as a self-control for the subjects.
