Trial Summary
Trial Overview
Inclusion Criteria
The purpose of this study is to determine if using a diabetes management technology system,
including a tablet computer, to track diabetes care and communicate with a clinician coach (a
doctor or nurse from the Joslin Clinic) makes starting and adjusting insulin easier and safer
for people with type 2 diabetes. Hypothesis: The use of a diabetes management technology
system with a clinician coach helps more individuals starting basal insulin achieve better
glycemic control with less hypoglycemia compared with standard clinical practice at Joslin
Diabetes Center.
