Summary

Severity of diabetes is related to the development of disabling and costly complications (12.9 billion euros in 2007). The French High Health Authority recommends a therapeutic education on lifestyle and dietary rules in first-line treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Despite these recommendations, patients often have difficulties to implement dietary recommendations every day. The objective of EDUC@DOM is to help people with diabetes to improve lifestyle and equilibrium of glycaemia in order to avoid or delay chronic complications of diabetes. Our main goal is to assess effectiveness of our telemonitoring program in type 2 patients' care compared to a usual care of diabetes, on the glycaemia of the patients. It is expected that our program leads to a better monitoring of health status, a greater adherence to medical and non-medical prescriptions, an empowerment of the patient, and as a consequence, a more efficient health care consumption.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

telemonitoring

A telemonitoring program with educational tools is given to people with type 2 diabetes at their home. It is composed of three softwares to improve eating habits available on touchpad, a self-monitoring blood glucose device, a balance to measure weight and fat mass, and a pedometer to evaluate physical activity. Data are securely sent and stored into a web service which delivers a synthesis to patients and health professionals.

OTHER

Usual care

Patients are recruited during therapeutic educational sessions or appointments by general practitioners or diabetologists who take part into the Regional Health Network in Diabetes DIAMIP. If patients accept to participate to the study and sign up the protocol consent, they are given questionnaires about nutrition, physical activity and quality of life. A dietician analyses with each patient the results of a food inquiry. Patients are randomised into two groups: one arm is trained to the telemonitoring program before receiving it at home, and the other arm follows usual care. During 12 months, the telemonitoring group uses the device. The investigators (GP or diabetologists) can use the specific secured website to follow the measured parameters and to make appropriate decisions about health care of their patient. No consultation are scheduled in advance.
