Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the effect of using a digital diabetes self management education and support system compared with standard care for patients with type 2 diabetes in primary health care.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Other: Digital diabetes self management education and support system
N/A

Detailed Description

After being informed verbally and in text participants will sign a consent to participate. The participant will then be randomized to either use a digital diabetes self management education and support system for 10 weeks together with a diabetes nurse, or to continue with the regular care. The effects will be evaluated after 6, 12 and 36 months from randomization with emphasis on cardiovascular risk factors, life-style, diabetes knowledge and health economics.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. HbA1c [6 months]

      The level of glycated hemoglobin A1 in blood measured in mmol/mol.

    Other Outcome Measures

    1. Plasma cholesterol [6, 12 and 36 months]

      mmol/L

    2. Plasma LDL-cholesterol [6, 12 and 36 months]

      mmol/L

    3. Plasma HDL-cholesterol [6, 12 and 36 months]

      mmol/L

    4. Fasting plasma triglycerides [6, 12 and 36 months]

      mmol/L

    5. Fasting plasma glucose [6, 12 and 36 months]

      mmol/L

    6. Urinary albumin/creatinine ratio [6, 12 and 36 months]

      mg/mmol

    7. Waist circumference [6 and 12 months]

      cm

    8. Body mass index [6, 12 and 36 months]

      kg/m2

    9. Self reported physical activity level [6 and 12 months]

      International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)

    10. Objectively measured physical activity level [6 and 12 months]

      Accelerometer Axivity AX3 will be used on a subgroup of 100 participants.

    11. Self reported dietary intake [6 and 12 months]

      Indicator questions from the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare

    12. Health literacy [6 and 12 months]

      HLS-EU-Q16 questionnaire. 0-12 points. Higher score is better.

    13. Patient-reported outcome and experience measures [6 and 12 months]

      Questionnaire developed and validated by the National Swedish Diabetes Registry. 0-100 points for each of 8 PROM scales and 4 PREM scales. Higher score is better.
