RocheDiabetes InsulinStart is a service for people with type 2 diabetes that aims to facilitate the transition from oral antidiabetic drugs to supplementary, long-acting insulin therapy.
- Using proven algorithms, the message-based service provides support in the critical phase of finding the optimal dose for long-acting insulin injected once a day.
- The RocheDiabetes InsulinStart Service, which was initially integrated into the Accu-Chek Smart Pix software and later into the RocheDiabetes Care Platform, is now part of Roche's open ecosystem and is intended to contribute to more effective and personalized diabetes management.
MADRID?, February 20, 2020 / PRNewswire / - Roche (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX:?RHHBY?) today?announced RocheDiabetes InsulinStart?at the 13th International Conference on Advanced Technologies and Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD) in?Madrid?, Spain.?Roche Diabetes InsulinStart is designed to help people with type 2 diabetes who start long-term insulin therapy injected once a day.?The message-based service can provide real relief to people with type 2 diabetes and help doctors personalize diabetes treatment.?In DecemberIn 2019, Roche received the CE mark for the Roche Diabetes Insulin Start Service.?The certification paves the way for pilot projects and studies that generate evidence.
When oral antidiabetic drugs alone can no longer control blood sugar, adding a fixed amount of complementary, long-acting insulin is a preferred therapy option.?The start of this so-called basal insulin-assisted oral therapy (BOT) presents both patients and doctors with challenges.?The frustration of not being able to manage type 2 diabetes is often accompanied by fear of injecting too much or too little insulin.
Many people with diabetes feel overwhelmed to adhere to the titration scheme to optimize treatment.?Studies show that less than 40% of people with diabetes reach their glycemic target at the end of their insulin adjustment period?1?, and more than 80% of patients tend to stop insulin therapy the first year after starting?2?.?These results indicate that there is a clear need to optimize titration in clinical practice.
RocheDiabetes InsulinStart promises support in this critical phase.?Doctors register their patients with the RocheDiabetes InsulinStart service.?These are then accompanied by the process of gradually increasing the long-acting insulin to achieve their optimal individual dosage.?They receive a text message in the morning to remind them to take a sober blood sugar test and in the evening they recommend the insulin dose.
"RocheDiabetes InsulinStart meets the needs of people who need to inject long-term insulin once a day with a simple service that enables them to successfully start their unfamiliar therapy. It enables them to independently and safely manage their therapy in everyday life" , says?Matthias Koehler?, Senior Solutions Development Manager.?The service?can also be used by people who have already received insulin therapy but need to be adjusted to better control their type 2 diabetes.
The Roche Diabetes InsulinStart service is offered as an add-on within the Accu-Chek Smart Pix software;?a software that offers decision and therapy support in the doctor's office.?Doctors can adjust the therapy transition to the patient's needs and view the patient's blood sugar and injected insulin levels at any time during this phase.?This helps to avoid additional visits to the practice and at the same time offers clear, actionable support to enable a simple and effective start to long-lasting insulin therapy.?After four to 12 weeks, the participants are usually within their personal target area and can continue with the individually determined, long-acting insulin dose.
