Change in Attitude Toward Diabetes - Diabetes Empowerment Scale (DES) From Baseline to End of Study Primary · Baseline (Day -14) and Study End (Day 56)

A standardized questionnaire including 8 questions with response categories of 'strongly disagree', 'somewhat disagree', 'neutral', 'somewhat agree', and 'strongly agree'. An overall score for the DES is calculated by summing all of the item scores and dividing by 8 for a possible score range of 1-5 where a higher score indicates a higher level of empowerment.

Blood Glucose Values in Range of <54 mg/dL at Baseline Compared to End of Study Secondary · Baseline (Day -14 through Day -1) and Study End (Day 42-through Day 56)

Data collected by the flash glucose monitor were used to calculate percent of time in range to compare differences between groups at baseline and study end. For example, Time below 54 mg/dl is calculated in the following manner: Number of all glucose data points below 54 mg/dl / total number of glucose data points X 100. Since data points are all 5 minutes apart, this calculation provides the percentage of time in that range.

Insulin Delivery System Rating Questionnaire (IDSRQ) Scores at Baseline and End of Study Secondary · Baseline (Day -14) and Study End (Day 56)

A standardized questionnaire including several questions with ordinal response scales from 1 to 4 and 1 to 5. The IDSRQ has seven sub-scales (satisfaction, interference of treatment with daily activities, diabetes-related worries, clinical efficacy, psychological well-being, social burden, and treatment preference). Each sub-scale is calculated as a mean of their corresponding items with scores ranging from 0-100. Higher scores represent higher levels of satisfaction, perceived clinical efficacy, and psychological well-being, interference with daily activities, diabetes-related worries, and so

Adherence to Refills and Medications Scale for Diabetes (ARMS-D) Questionnaire Scores at Baseline and Study End Secondary · Baseline (Day -14) to Study End (Day 56)

A standardized questionnaire including 11 multiple choice questions. The ARMS-D yields a total score plus two sub-scale scores (refill sub-scale and medication taking sub-scale. Items 1-10 are scored as follows: 1= none of the time, 2 = some of the time, 3 = most of the time, and 4 = all of the time. Item 11 is reversed scored. The ARMS-D total is a sum of all items for a possible score ranging from 11-44. The ARMS-D refill sub-scale is a sum of 4 items for a possible score ranging from 4-16. The ARMS-D medication taking sub-scale is a sum of 7 items for a possible score ranging from 7-28. Low

Sponsor's own description

This is a multi-center, open-label, parallel-group, randomized controlled study in subjects with type 2 diabetes using multiple daily injection (MDI) insulin therapy. Subjects will be randomized to either receive the DC App and BD Nano 2nd Gen pen needles (intervention) or continue their standard of care using their current pen needle and diabetes management (control). The study will consist of four visits and two scheduled phone calls across a total of 10 weeks.
