To evaluate fitness of Contour® TS glucometer (Contour® TS, Bayer/Ascensia*) - a system for blood glycemia level control, and its characteristics in everyday use for Russian patients with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (DM) types 1 and 2 and endocrinologists. Study design. According to the inclusion criteria, 3759 patients were registered in the program, of which 3599 patients have completed the study as per 3 visits. The non-interventional study was conducted in 84 medical centers in RF during the period from October 2013 to June 2015. Age of insulin-dependent patients and patients on hypoglycaemic therapy was 18 years and older. Results. Observational program included - 1126 (31.29%) patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and 2473 (68.71%) patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Following switch to Contour® TS, while insulin therapy regimens were maintained, it was noted that the rate of blood glucose measurement increased compared with Visit 1 (p<0.0001). Upon assessment of satisfaction with the device, virtually all questions were answered as “good” and “perfect” by more than 90% patients and 95% study doctors. Upon assessment of the quality of life by EQ-5D, increase of this parameter was noted in 6 months, at Visit 3 (p<0.0001). No glucometer-associated malfunction were registered during the study. Additional data from general clinical experience of each patient that allowed to establish significant reduction of the levels of glycosilated haemoglobin and pre-prandial blood glucose just in 3 months at Visit 2, significant reduction of reported hypoglycaemia episodes as calculated per one patient have been obtained during the study. Additional data on the prevalence of macro- and microvascular complications were obtained during the study, and the highest per cent was for non-proliferative retinopathy and nephropathy at the stage of albuminuria. The most common among concomitant diseases were arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia and coronary artery disease. Conclusion. Use of Contour® TS glucometer by the patients, while insulin therapy regimens were maintained, led to increase in the rate of blood glucose measurements by up to 4-6 times during the day and statistically significant improvement in blood glucose control.non-interventional studydiabetes mellitusinsulin therapyglucometerglycaemic controlнеинтервенционное исследованиесахарный диабетинсулинотерапияглюкометрконтроль гликемии[Алгоритмы специализированной медицинской помощи больным сахарным диабетом в Российской Федерации.
