Optimizing insulin glargine plus one injection of insulin glulisine in type 2 diabetes in the ELEONOR study: similar effects of telecare and conventional self-monitoring of blood glucose on patient functional health status and treatment satisfaction.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To determine the functional health status and treatment satisfaction in patients with type 2 diabetes from the Evaluation of Lantus Effect ON Optimization of use of single dose Rapid insulin (ELEONOR) study that investigated whether a telecare program helps optimization of basal insulin glargine with one bolus injection of insulin glulisine.

Research design and methods

Functional health status and treatment satisfaction were investigated using the 36-Item Short-Form (SF-36) Health Survey, the World Health Organization Well-Being Questionnaire (WBQ), and the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire.

Results

Of 291 randomized patients, 238 completed the study (telecare: 114; self-monitoring blood glucose: 124). Significant improvements were detected in mo
