Open-Label, Uncontrolled, Single-Arm, Single-Center, 16-Week Study Assessing Efficacy and Safety of Frequently Modified Insulin Therapy Using Dosage Recommending Device Software in 3-Groups of Subjects With Diabetes
The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of the computer
software program in providing insulin dosage recommendations. Participation in the study for
60 research subjects will last for 16-weeks and includes 3-4 clinic visits and a series of
weekly telephone calls from the study team (minimum of 12 calls). Participants will be
provided with weekly Study Log Sheets to record their daily blood glucose readings, insulin
doses, grams of carbohydrate eaten at each meal (if they have type-1 diabetes) and any
changes in their health (e.g., hypoglycemic episodes, illnesses). Participants will fax or
drop off a copy of the Study Log Sheet. This information will be entered by the IDC study
team into the computer software program. The IDC study team will review the information from
the software and, based on the IDC's study team approval, any insulin dose changes will be
communicated back to the patient by phone or fax.

Hygieia, Inc. is developing a device intended for use by insulin-requiring patients with
diabetes. It will be a pocket-sized, hand-held device, combining a glucose meter with
software that analyzes blood glucose levels recorded in the device's memory, and
periodically recommends modifications in insulin dosage. The already developed software
algorithms are based on the way an endocrinologist evaluates and frequently adjusts insulin
dosage in a patient with diabetes.

Inclusion Criteria:
- GROUP I
- Have been clinically diagnosed with type-1 diabetes for at least 1-year
- Have an HgbA1c of 7.4% or higher
- Treated with short-acting insulin analog (i.e. HumaLog® Lispro, NovoLog® Aspart,
Apidra® Glulisine) before each meal and only one injection of long-acting insulin
analog Lantus® (Glargine), per day. Subjects must typically eat 3 meals per day. The
total daily combined dose of the long-acting and short-acting insulin analogs must be
25 units or more. Patient must have been using the same insulin regimen for the
previous 3-months
- Is currently using an insulin/carbohydrate ratio to decide how much short-acting
insulin to take before meals and must be able to use the gram versus choice method of
carbohydrate counting.
- GROUP II
- Have been clinically diagnosed with type-2 diabetes for at least 1-year
- Have an HgbA1c of 7.4% or higher
- Treated with short-acting insulin analog (i.e. HumaLog® Lispro, NovoLog® Aspart,
Apidra® Glulisine) before each meal and only one injection of long-acting insulin
analog Lantus® (Glargine) per day and. Subjects must typically eat 3 meals per day.
The total daily combined dose of the long-acting and short-acting insulin analogs
must be 25 units or more. Patient must have been using the same insulin regimen for
the previous 3-months
- May be using other diabetes agent(s) at a stable dose for the last 3-months.
- GROUP III
- Have been clinically diagnosed with type-2 diabetes for at least 1-year
- Have an HgbA1c of 7.8% or higher
- Take twice daily biphasic Insulin (e.g. HumaLog® Mix 75/25, NovoLog® Mix 70/30) or
premixed insulin (i.e. Humulin® 70/30, Novolin® 70/30, NPH/Regular insulin 70/30)
with a total daily insulin dose of 25 units and have been using the same insulin
regimen for the past 3-months
- May be using other diabetes agent(s) at a stable dose for the last 3-months.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Have a history of greater than 2 episodes of severe hypoglycemia in the past year, or
have hypoglycemic unawareness when glucose levels are less than or equal to 50 mg/dl
- Have a significant physical, psychological, or cognitive impairment that would
prohibit adherence to the protocol
- Have any severe cardiovascular disease including a history of congestive heart
failure (New York Heart Association [NYHA] 3 or 4), unstable angina, myocardial
infarction or stroke that occurred within the 6-months preceding enrollment
- Have known active anemia with a hemotocrit less than 25% in women or 30% in men
- Have known history of renal disease (e.g., serum creatinine level >2.0 mg/dl or eGFR
< 30 ml/min)
- Have active cancer or cancer in the past 2-years (except non-melanoma skin cancer
- Have history of significant liver disease including cirrhosis or elevated liver
enzymes (e.g., AST and ALT greater than 3 times the upper limit of normal values)
- Have a body mass index (BMI) > 45 kg/m2; and/or
- Are pregnant, plan to become pregnant during the study period, or are breastfeeding.
