Scientific titleRandomized crossover study to examine the necessity of an injection-to-meal interval in patients with type 2 diabetes and human insulin
Study objectivesThere is no difference in metabolic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and therapy with human insulin with or without injection-meal-interval.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval received from the Friedrich Schiller University Ethics Committee on the 10th October 2006 (ref: 1855-09/06).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedDiabetes mellitus type 2
InterventionThe patient injects human insulin (as Actrapid from NovoNordisc) as usual in their insulin routine. The injection is subcutaneous and the dosage is dependent on the blood glucose monitoring. Patients will inject insulin previous every meal, with the following differences:
1. Group A: with injection-meal-interval: 50 patients educated to inject the insulin with an injection-meal-interval of 15 minutes
2. Group B: without injection-meal-interval: 50 patients educated to inject the insulin without injection-meal-interval

Cross-over will occur to the other group after 12 weeks. The follow up is 28 weeks.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Human insulin
Primary outcome measureHbA1c, measured from venous blood samples from the finger at baseline and weeks 4, 16 and 28.
Secondary outcome measures1. Frequency of hypoglycaemia, measured at 4 and 28 weeks
2. Quality of life, measured using the Audit of Diabetes-Dependent Quality of Life (ADDQoL) at weeks 4, 16 and 28
