Summary

The purpose of this study is to conduct a prospective, multicenter, cluster randomized control study, to evaluate the improvement for T2DM treatment ability in Chinese endocrinologists after 1-week intensive experiential diabetes management training in Ruijin Hospital.

Detailed description

The primary objective is to determine whether a 1-week intensive experiential training in T2DM management for MMC endocrinologists has a positive effect on patients' HbA1c control rate (percentage of patients achieving HbA1c \<7.0%) after 6-month management. The secondary objective is to explore the effect of intensive experiential training on other metabolic parameters, patients' quality of life and endocrinologists' prescribing habits after 6-month and 12-month management. In the first phase (Phase I), about 200 eligible endocrinologists from National Metabolic Management Centers (MMC) (one endocrinologist in each center) will be randomized (1:1) into two groups. Intensive training group will receive a 1-week intensive experiential training in the MMC leading center (Ruijin Hospital) for T2DM management, and control group will receive regular MMC working training. In the second phase (Phase II) , each endocrinologist will be required to manage a certain number of T2DM patients (n≈10). The total number of patients in the intensive training group and the control group will be approximately 1000:1000. Metabolic parameters including weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, hip circumference, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), postprandial plasma glucose (PPG), fasting and postprandial insulin, blood pressure and lipid levels will be measured. Furthermore, the change of patients' quality of life and endocrinologists' prescribing habits will be evaluated.

Conditions

• Type 2 Diabetes

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Intensive training for endocrinologists in T2DM management	One-week intensive experiential training for endocrinologists includes a 1-week hospitalization experience at Ruijin Hospital, involving health examinations, results interpretation, and integrated training courses for T2DM management. During the patient intervention period, endocrinologists will each manage approximately 10 T2DM patients, conduct regular follow-ups, and participate in regular training sessions, including experience-sharing meetings.
OTHER	Regular training for endocrinologists in T2DM management	Regular training and communication are implemented by Ruijin Hospital under the guidance of T2DM management. During the patient intervention period, endocrinologists will each manage approximately 10 T2DM patients, conduct regular follow-ups, and receive regular routine training.
