Clinical Trial Experience

The programs available at mygluco.com are based on experience gained from over eight years of monitoring patients and developing protocols for a broad array of clinical trials.  These trials address many different facets of diabetes care and included over 500 patients from across the USA and across all walks of life. Many of these patients have been using these tools continuously since our first trial in 2002.

The common thread throughout these trials has been the role of behavioral psychology in the effective management of diabetes. We classify our clinical trials work within the following categories:

  • feasibility testing
  • physician directed care
  • patient self-directed care
  • pharmaceutical & medical device research

feasibility testing

physician directed care

patient self-directed care

pharmaceutical research

medical device research

Diabetech, the company behind mygluco.com, has invested heavily in validating these concepts before making them available to the public. The following references and supporting informational links illustrate the Company's commitment to understanding not only how to develop cool technology. More importantly, the Company has answered the question of how to best apply these cool new technologies so that they get used, get used for many years or as long as is necessary and are effective.

A) How do these cool new technologies 'get used'?

At the outset of this body of research the team understood that data collection in diabetes has to be a very easy task; no extra work. The commercial tools available at mygluco.com have been designed, developed, tested and certified to ensure extreme ease of use. If it's not easy - it doesn't get used.  We know that for a fact unlike many other options for diabetes data management that require an insane amount of time, effort and technical expertise. While you are reading this on the web, we know for a fact that most people who use our tools never will because they already have a busy life to lead and don't have time to surf. Furthermore, our programs encourage people to stop surfing and start living. 

B) How do we know that these tools can be used for long periods of time?

Because when we work with people we always ask them and even better, our technology allows us to monitor behaviors from afar. It's so easy to get feedback that most people incorporate the mygluco.com tools into their lifestyle for years on end. People who get the most from our programs spend about 2 minutes once a week using our tools.  Give us 2 minutes and we'll improve your life.

C) What do you mean by the word 'effective'?

That depends on who you are. The research trials illustrated below have measured the effectiveness of Diabetech technology in many different ways and in many different settings. Not only are the mygluco.com tools effective at delivering improved health outcomes like lower average blood sugar, they are also effective at increasing the productivity of workers... and the productivity of clinical diabetes providers. And more recently, effective at generating billable events for those providers who struggle to deliver great care that has for many years gone without reimbursement from insurance carriers.

Thank you for checking into our clinical trial experience and the heavy lifting that goes with it. If you have an idea for a new way to apply technology or a new angle on the delivery of care for diabetes and related conditions please contact us. We can probably help.  Please check back with this page from time to time as the information contained on this page will be constantly updated to illustrate what we like to call a 'Growing Body of Work' that supports the mygluco.com programs.
