Trial Outcomes & Findings for Glucose Measurement Using Microneedle Patches (NCT NCT02682056)

NCT ID: NCT02682056

Last Updated: 2020-01-03

Results Overview

Participants had their glucose levels tested through three different methods. Interstitial glucose levels was assessed using a microneedles patch. Blood glucose levels were collected via the lancet and intravenous (IV) collection methods.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline ( Hour 1), Hour 4

Participants completed a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) to report the level of apprehension they felt regarding each method of sample collection. Participants will mark on a line scale (between not afraid and very afraid) to indicate fear level when a sample is collected. The range is from 0-100 mm with 0 mm indicating no apprehension and 100 mm indicating the most apprehension.

Timeframe: Baseline ( Hour 1), Hour 4

Participants completed a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) to report the level of pain they felt regarding each method of sample collection. Participants marked on a line scale (between no pain and worst pain ever) to indicate pain level when a sample is collected. The range is from 0-100 mm with 0 mm indicating no pain and 100 mm indicating the most extreme pain.
