Trial summary

The hypotheses to be tested are 1) the use of alcohol in the form of wine with the evening meal will lower plasma glucose during the night and result in lower fasting plasma glucose the next morning; 2) the chronic use of alcohol in moderation in the form of wine will have beneficial effects on plasma lipids in type 2… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Metabolic Effects of Alcohol in the Form of Wine in Persons With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

The hypotheses to be tested are 1) the use of alcohol in the form of wine with the evening meal will lower plasma glucose during the night and result in lower fasting plasma glucose the next morning; 2) the chronic use of alcohol in moderation in the form of wine will have beneficial effects on plasma lipids in type 2 diabetic subjects.

Read the detailed description

The use of alcohol in moderation has been associated with reduced mortality rates, reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and reduced risk for type 2 diabetes. However, the effects of alcohol in persons with type 2 diabetes have not yet been defined. Moreover, the possibility of alcohol induced hypoglycemia remains a safety concern. Finally, little is known about the effects of alcohol on plasma lipids in people with diabetes. To address these issues, two substudies are proposed. The first substudy will examine the acute effects of alcohol in the form of wine at supper on postprandial and nocturnal glucose levels. The second substudy will examine the effects of alcohol in the form of wine consumed regularly for one month on plasma lipids.

To test these hypotheses, 20 type 2 diabetics will be studied. In substudy 1, subjects will be admitted to the Clinical Research Center for a two day inpatient stay. Blood samples for plasma glucose and serum insulin will be obtained every two hours from 5:00 pm to 7:00 am. On one day, subjects will recieve 8 ounces of wine with dinner. On the other day, subjects will recieve 8 ounces of fruit juice with dinner. The primary endpoint of substudy 1 will be fasting plasma glucose. In substudy 2, subjects will be asked to consume 4-8 ounces of wine in the evening for one month and to abstain from wine and alcohol containing beverages for one month. Fasting blood samples will be obtained after the month of wine consumption and after the month of abstention from alcohol for measurement of fasting lipids. The primary endpoint of substudy 2 will be fasting HDL cholesterol.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Alcohol in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Bantle, John P., MD at 1 site in United States.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 10 Jul 2012. 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 States. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Fasing plasma glucose. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 10 Jul 2012.
