Performance of an Electronic Diary System for Intensive Insulin Management in Global Diabetes Clinical Trials.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This report describes the performance of a wireless electronic diary (e-diary) system for data collection and enhanced patient-investigator interactions during intensive insulin management in diabetes clinical trials.

Materials and methods

We implemented a customized electronic communication system featuring an e-diary and a Web portal in three global, randomized, controlled Phase 3 clinical trials testing basal insulin peglispro compared with insulin glargine, both combined with prandial insulin lispro, in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T1DM and T2DM, respectively). We collected data during 28 weeks of study e-diary use for the report.

Results

Patients (n=2,938) in 31 countries used e-diaries to transmit 2,439,087 blood glucose (BG) valu
