Aims: We investigated the impact of using an integrated, strip-free system compared to the use of single-strip systems on testing frequency and glycemic control in individuals with insulin-treated diabetes. Methods: This multinational, comparative, cluster-randomized, observational study included 311 patients with type 1 and insulin-treated type 2 diabetes who were performing SMBG at suboptimal frequencies. Sites were cluster-randomized to “integrated strip-free” system (EXP group) or any “single-strip” system (CNL group). Testing frequency and HbA1c were measured at baseline, 12 weeks and 24 weeks. Results: At week 24, the EXP group showed an increase in SMBG frequency from baseline of 4.17 tests/week (95% CI 2.76, 5.58) compared with an increase of 0.53 tests/week (95% CI −0.73, 1.79) among CNL patients, resulting in a between-group difference of 3.63 tests/week (p |
