Trial summary

Although there is no evidence that individuals with type 1 diabetes have a different approach to alcohol compared to the background population, nevertheless, its use does have implications for patients mainly because of the risk of hypoglycaemia unawareness. Read more about this study

About this study

Although there is no evidence that individuals with type 1 diabetes have a different approach to alcohol compared to the background population, nevertheless, its use does have implications for patients mainly because of the risk of hypoglycaemia unawareness. However, binge drinking has been implicated as a factor in the development of ketoacidosis and is probably under-recognised. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of binge drinking on glucose, insulin, counter-regulatory hormones and other metabolites in patients with type 1 diabetes. It is hoped that data from this project will be used to develop a larger study comparing different treatment regimens for patients using alcohol to reduce the risks of hyperglycaemia as well as hypoglycaemia.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomised trial involving Type I diabetics who have had Type I diabetes >5 years. They will be using multiple daily injections of a basal insulin and a rapid acting component.Apart from insulin and oral contraceptive, none will be on regular medication. All will be regular consumers of modest amount of alcohol (Female - less than or equal to 14 units, males - less than or equal to 21 units). Each will participate in 2 studies. Subjects will be randomised either to white wine or an equivalent volume of alcohol-free wine.Outcome measures are the results of the effect of acute ingestion of alcohol on glucose levels and intermediate metabolites in subjects with Type I diabetes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by The Royal Bournemouth Hospital at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Nov 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Nov 2009.
