About this trial

EkiYou-Study-2 is an interventional multicenter randomised controlled clinical investigation according to EU 2017/745. It is conducted in 154 adults with diabetes and treated by multiple daily insulin injections that will be followed for 6 months.

After a randomization, participants will receive for 6 months EkiYou V2 Digital Therapy that will help them to estimate their daily bolus and basal insulin doses. This device weekly adjusts insulin parameters including : basal insulin dose, insulin to carb ratios and correction factor.

The control group will stay with their standard care, and after the first three months of control period, they will receive EkiYou V2 for the last three months.

The aim of this study is to examine the performance of the EkiYou V2 Digital Therapy compared with conventional methods for people with diabetes treated with multi-injections as part of a basal-bolus regimen. We also aim to assess the level of satisfaction and user experience with the EkiYou application, as well as the quality of life of study participants.

have type 1 or type 2 diabetes or diabetes secondary to pancreatic disease,

have been treated with multi-injection basal/bolus insulin therapy for at least 6 months,

using a compatible rapid insulin with the device Ekiyou such as : Novorapid, Humalog, Apidra, Asparte Sanofi, Fiasp or Lyumjev,

Disqualifiers

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • EkiYou V2

    Device

    Use of a Digital Therapy in the form of a mobile application that helps users to evaluate their daily bolus and basal insulin needs, and that adjusts at weekly basis their insulin to carb ratios, correction factor and basal dose. The device includes the following features to participants: * Carbohydrate counting through an extensive food database with more than 200k items. * Bolus calculation based on their meal, physical activity and blood glucose. * Bolus correction advice. * Long-acting insulin reminders and automatic periodic titration. * Insulin-to-carb ratios and correction factor automatic adjustment.
