Brief Summary:
The goal of the study is to compare whether an integrated model of care between Foot Wound and Diabetes Clinic with use of remote glucose monitoring technology (Intervention Arm), as compared with usual care without the use of remote glucose monitoring technology (Control Arm), will result in 1) improved glycemic control, 2) improved ulcer and wound healing, 3) improved patient reported outcomes (PROs), 4) reduced long-term healthcare resource utilization, and 5) improved adherence to anti-glycemic therapy for patients with DFUWI and poor glycemic control over the course of a 6-month intervention period.
Detailed Description:
This is a two-arm non-randomized convenient pilot trial to assess impact of an active glycemic management model through remote glucose monitoring technology amongst patients with DFUWI and poor glycemic control at the Parkland Diabetes Foot \& Wound clinic. The plan is to implement a remote glucose monitoring technology to facilitate improved glycemic management and control. A cellular enabled glucose meter that will upload blood glucose measurements to a cloud server accessible by providers who can remotely review glycemic trends and remotely provide patients with proactive recommendations for treatment adjustments will be used. Patients receiving services in the integrated care model (same day visits in the Foot Wound and Diabetes Clinics at Parkland) will be eligible for inclusion in the intervention arm which includes proactive glucose monitoring guided by remote glucose monitoring technology. Patients receiving usual care services (non-integrated care model clinic days where Foot Wound and Diabetes Clinic visits are on separate days) will be eligible for inclusion in the control arm. The expectation is that patients in the intervention arm will experience greater improvements in glycemic control, compared to the usual care model. The hypothesis is that improved glycemic control in these patients will result in faster healing of diabetic foot wound, infections or ulcers. The effectiveness of the technologically facilitated integrated model of care will be evaluated compared to the usual care using metrics for diabetic foot ulcers and wound healing, glycemic control, patient reported outcomes, health resource utilization and medication adherence after 6 months of intervention. The Telcare 2.0 BGM for remote self-blood glucose monitoring(FDA Cleared) will be used.
