Goals for Today

1. Understand evidence from The MONITOR Trial on the impact of glucose self‐monitoring among patients with non‐insulin dependent diabetes on oral agents.

2. Identify the potential impact of glucose self‐monitoring on financial stress among FQHC patients.

“We are leading the creation and advancement of health equity”

Page 5: Disseminating Evidence to Promote Self Management Strategies · Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute: Mission “PCORI helps people make informed healthcare decisions, and

“Strengthening the primary care system through education, research and 

training to improve health outcomes while advancing health equity.”

What is a PBRN??

Practice Based Research Networks (PBRN) are groups of primary care clinicians and practices working together to answer 

community‐based health care questions and translate research findings into practice. (Agency for Health Care Research and 

Quality Definition)

Mission

The Southeast Regional Clinicians Network exists to improve health and advance health equity in the Southeastern US via practice‐based research in the primary care safety net and to serve as a resource for patients and providers in community health centers throughout the Southeastern United States.

Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute: Mission

“PCORI helps people make informed healthcare decisions, and improves healthcare delivery and outcomes, by producing and promoting high‐integrity, evidence‐based information that comes from research guided by patients, caregivers, and the broader healthcare 

community.”

The Monitor Trial 

Page 12: Disseminating Evidence to Promote Self Management Strategies · Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute: Mission “PCORI helps people make informed healthcare decisions, and

No Clear Evidence or Expert Consensus to Guide Practice

For patients with non‐insulin dependent type II diabetes, there is no clear consensus and conflicting guidelines about whether patients should engage in self‐monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) to improve their health outcomes.

Page 13: Disseminating Evidence to Promote Self Management Strategies · Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute: Mission “PCORI helps people make informed healthcare decisions, and

Evidence is Mixed

Some randomized controlled trials (RCT) have shown a statistically significant small (0.2 to 0.3%) improvement in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)

Some no improvement in glycemic control 

Enhanced SMBG in RCTs improves effect to (0.5% improvement)

Limitations

• Most patients in the study had been SMBG• Willing to participate in study and be randomized to SMBG/no SMBG group

• Not all patients adhered to assigned group• Not applicable to patients using insulin• One state/health system

WHAT DO THESE RESULTS MEAN?

Page 32: Disseminating Evidence to Promote Self Management Strategies · Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute: Mission “PCORI helps people make informed healthcare decisions, and

Conclusions

There were no differences in glycemic control or health related quality of life among people with non‐insulin dependent diabetes who monitored blood glucose versus those that did not monitor

Tailored messaging did not improve glycemic control

Patients and clinicians should engage in discussion and decision making about monitoring

The Cost of SMBG• Diabetic testing supplies 

accounted for $34.6 billion in health care expendituresin 2017

• 70% of FQHC patients live below the FPL and nearly a quarter are uninsured

• Testing supplies can cost as little as $15 per month, but wide variation

Page 35: Disseminating Evidence to Promote Self Management Strategies · Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute: Mission “PCORI helps people make informed healthcare decisions, and

Shifting Resources: Self Management

• Monetary resources and energy could be shifted to other areas of self‐management that have good evidence of impact on glycemic control.– Healthy foods– Exercise– Medication adherence

Page 36: Disseminating Evidence to Promote Self Management Strategies · Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute: Mission “PCORI helps people make informed healthcare decisions, and

Shifting Resources: Time

• Chronic disease management visits are short

• Time can be maximized around counseling and discussion of other issues instead of reviewing blood sugar readings

Page 37: Disseminating Evidence to Promote Self Management Strategies · Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute: Mission “PCORI helps people make informed healthcare decisions, and

Contextualizing Evidence for SMBG 

• SMBG tends to have the greatest impact on glycemic control when:– Higher initial HbA1c levels– Structured and rigid timing of SMBG in relationship to meals

– Better adherence to SMBG– Shorter study periods (6 months)

• Others have found worsened health related quality of life
