ObjectivesObjectives
Primary ObjectiveTo assess if regulation using carbohydrate and insulin education will improve treatment satisfaction and quality of life for individuals with type 1 diabetes.
Secondary ObjectivesTo assess if regulation using carbohydrate and insulin education will improve biochemical parameters for individuals with type 1 diabetes including HbA1c, BMI and Waist:Hip.
Study DesignStudy Design
This will be a randomised control study of 52 weeks
A total of 36 participants will be recruited for the treatment arm of the study and 36 participants will be recruited as a control group.
Descriptive statistics will be calculated for all key variables within the study.
A statistical package will be used to analyse the data.
Study PopulationStudy Population
Approximately 72 participants with type 1 diabetes using an analogue insulin basal bolus regime will be recruited. 36 patients will be randomly recruited to the treatment group and 36 to the control group.
AssessmentsAssessments
The key measures are change in treatment satisfaction and quality of life from baseline, 12 weeks and 52 weeks.
Biochemical parameters will be measured. HbA1c will be analysed using DCCT aligned analysis.
Waist:hip ratio and Body Mass Index will be recorded.
