Experimental: iSage
The provider will choose a treatment algorithm embedded within the app and set the parameters to make insulin dose adjustments no less frequently than every 7 days. The app is downloaded by the patient while in the examination room, and the patient is instructed to perform daily fasting glucose fingerstick measurements and follow the app's recommendations for insulin adjustment. Data on telephone or visit contact with a healthcare provider will be collected via the EMR. Hypoglycemic events (defined as blood glucose <70 mg/dl, measured or perceived) are recorded in the iSage application as well as patient report. Providers are asked to review the patients transmitted blood sugar logs as necessary, and those reviews are recorded. Return visits are managed by the HCP and will be logged as resource utilization.

Device: iSage App with connected glucometer
Providers prescribe an insulin dosing plan to patients and provide them with a connected glucometer. The patient's plan is administered through a mobile application. In addition, patients receive education and guidance on insulin administration. |
Active Comparator: Conventional Management
Our clinic uses a modified treat-to-target algorithm which is summarized on a 3 x 5 refrigerator magnet. In the case of glargine or detemir (Basaglar, Lantus, Levemir) adjustments of 1 unit of insulin/day are made until the fasting blood sugars (2 of 3 consecutive values) are 80-130 mg/dl. In the instance of Toujeo or Tresiba, adjustments of 2 units are made every 5 days. Volunteers will have meters downloaded (or interviewed where necessary) to obtain data on fasting blood sugar and episodes of hypoglycemia (perceived or measured <70 mg/dl). The PCP is free to request glucose logs and set return appointments as needed to manage the patient.

Behavioral: Magnet
Patients are given a refrigerator magnet with an insulin titration algorithm and are asked to follow the instructions on the magnet. |
