    3 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • HbA1c

    3 months

Study Arms (2)

Fixed dose

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Fixed meal size and fixed aspart insulin dose except for minor changes based on measured blood glucose. Detemir basal insulin.

Other: Fixed dose

ezy-BICC dose calculation card

EXPERIMENTAL

variable meal size with variable aspart insulin dose determined with use of individualised dose calculation card. Detemir basal insulin.

Device: ezy-BICC dose calculation card

Interventions

small laminated table lists the dose of insulin to administer based on BGL and carbohydrate to be consumed - individualised for each study subject

ezy-BICC dose calculation card

Approach where study subject is prescribed a set amount of carbohydrate to eat each meal and set dose of rapid acting insulin. Minor modifications may be made if the measured BGL is out of target

Fixed dose
