Objective: In a randomized, multi-centre trial, the effect of an education programme (MEDIAS 2 ICT) involving intensive insulin treatment for people with type 2 diabetes was compared with an established education programme as an active comparator condition (ACC).Methods: We investigated whether MEDIAS 2 ICT was non-inferior to ACC in overall glycaemic control. Secondary outcomes were the diabetes-related distress, diabetes knowledge, quality of life, self-care behavior, lipids, blood pressure and weight.Results: 186 subjects were randomized. After a six month follow-up the mean HbA1c decrease was 0.37% (from 8.2 +/- 1.1% to 7.8 +/- 1.5%) in the ACC and 0.63% (from 8.5 +/- 1.5% to 7.9 +/- 1.2%) in MEDIAS 2 ICT. The mean difference between both groups was -0.26% (95% CI -0.63 to -0.14) in favor of MEDIAS 2 ICT. This result was within the predefined limit for non-inferiority. Diabetes-related distress was significantly more reduced in MEDIAS 2 ICT (-3.4 +/- 7.1) than in ACC (0.4 +/- 9.0; p = 0.31).Conclusion: MEDIAS 2 ICT is as effective in lowering HbA1c as previously established education programmes, but showed superiority in reducing diabetes-related distress.Practical implications: MEDIAS 2 ICT provides an alternative for education of people with type 2 diabetes treated by multiple injection therapy.
