Implication

Feasibility trial evaluates telemonitoring designs to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes, indicating potential for future trials.

Key Points

The aim is to assess the feasibility of telemonitoring interventions in adults with poorly controlled non-insulin-treated type 2 diabetes.
Conducted a three-month randomized cluster feasibility trial across four municipalities in North Denmark.
Participants monitored blood glucose, sleep, mental health, and additional parameters depending on the intervention group.
Feasibility outcomes included recruitment, retention, questionnaire response rates, and adherence to blood sampling.
Thirty participants were included; 21 completed the trial, indicating a retention rate of 70%.
Significant improvement in patient activation (PAM-13; p = 0.01) and median HbA1c decreased from 64.0 to 60.0 mmol/mol (p = 0.01).
Challenges included a high dropout rate primarily due to the perceived burden of self-monitoring.
