| Scientific title | A randomised trial of diabetes intervention in the community to help achieve reduced glucose elevation: Diabetes IN-CHARGE |
| Study acronym | Diabetes IN-CHARGE |
| Study objectives | This trial will determine if supplementing a community-based diabetes program with an automated system that generates specific evidence-based tailored recommendations to individuals/MDs based on responses to a self-administered questionnaire lowers hemoglobin A1c levels (A1c) more than the community-based program (i.e. Diabetes Hamilton) alone. As of 15/01/2008, this record was updated to include an extended anticipated end date due to recruitment taking longer than anticipated; the initial end date at the time of registration was 31/07/2007 was updated to 30/06/2009. As of 26/02/2009 this record was updated to include another extension to the anticipated end date to allow for completion of all follow-ups. The previous end date was 30/06/2009 and this has now been updated to 31/12/2009. |
| Ethics approval(s) | McMaster University Research Ethics Board gave approval on the 31st August 2004. |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Type 2 diabetes |
| Intervention | Participants in the community with type 2 diabetes will be enrolled in Diabetes Hamilton, fill out a questionnaire, and have regular information regarding diabetes management sent to them and their MD. Allocation will be to either receive or not receive automated recommendations and reminders based on the questionnaire response, interpretation of their HbA1c, a customised list of resources, and simple tools to track glucose control, HbA1c and related variables. |
