Summary

Management of type 2 diabetes is an ongoing challenge for patients and their doctors. In order to prevent complications, patients need to monitor and control their blood sugar levels. In addition, they may need to have an ongoing communication with their doctor in order to modify treatment. In this study the investigators wish to compare the benefits of continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) to an internet-based glucose monitoring system (IBGMS). The investigators also want to determine whether the frequency of blood glucose testing affects blood glucose control and to see whether the benefits of CGMS and IBGMS are independent of testing frequency.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Remote Blood Glucose Monitoring

The subjects enrolled in the Internet Therapeutic Intervention arm receive standard care by testing their blood glucose at least 3 times daily and visit the endocrinologist every 3 months; however, they are also asked to upload their blood glucose readings online every 2 weeks for the health practitioner to view and comment upon.

OTHER

Continuous Glucose Monitoring

The use of CGMS (Sensor, receiver, transmitter) (Medtronic Diabetes) plus the uploading of results to the Internet-based software utility of CareLink Personal and generating reports that can be viewed and used at the patient's own preference. This group will not receive feedback or suggestion based on the uploaded glucose data.

OTHER

SMBG

The SMBG patients will be told that we are testing a new meter to check the accuracy of the meter. They will be asked to test at least 3 times a day and to keep a written diary of their sugar levels. The SMBG group will not know that we are counting strips and can not know about the SMBG With Knowledge group as it may bias the frequency that they test.

OTHER

SMBG With Knowledge

The SMBG With Knowledge patients will be given a new meter and will be asked to test at least 3 times a day and to keep a written diary of their sugar levels. We will inform this group that we are measuring the frequency of SMBG testing.
