Use of Continuous Glucose Monitoring Devices Among People Living With Type 1 Diabetes in South Africa (ACCEDE) 246

Completed
Clinical Trial NCT05944718 (ACCEDE) was an interventional study for Type 1 Diabetes that is now completed. The study started on 11 September 2023, with plans to enroll 246 participants. Led by Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics, Switzerland, the expected completion date was 31 July 2025. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on 12 August 2025.
Brief Summary
Diabetes mellitus (diabetes) is a chronic condition that represents a major public health and clinical concern. Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is a critical part of the care of individuals with diabetes. SMBG entails capillary fingerstick blood glucose testing multiple times per day. Many people with diabetes find this testing painful and cumbersome, often resulting in poor compliance to a glucose self-monit...Show More
Detailed Description
3 Study Design As this study is a PrCT the study aspects will be embedded in the normal clinical care delivery of diabetes care in the selected clinics (see section 3.2, Scientific Rational for Selection of Study Design). Introducing only 1 additional clinic visit and 1 additional qualitative visit for study related procedures. The primary outcome measure, HbA1c, will be assessed through the HbA1c testing that is alr...Show More

Arms / Interventions
Participant Group/ArmIntervention/Treatment
ExperimentalArm 1
Arm 1 is those participants randomized to use of CGM in a continuous fashion; CGM use for the duration of 9 months.
Continuous glucose monitor
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is a technology used to measure glucose levels in people with diabetes. Unlike traditional finger prick self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), CGM devices provide continuous and real-time glucose readings throughout the day and night. CGM systems consist of a small sensor that is inserted under the skin to measure glucose levels in the interstitial fluid, a transmitter that send...Show More
ExperimentalArm 2
Arm 2 is those participants randomized to intermittent use of CGM; CGM use for 4 time points consisting of 2 weeks of CGM use each, for the duration of 9 months.

No InterventionArm 3
Arm 3 is those participants randomized to standard of care; regular use of self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) for the duration of 9 months.
