About this study

This is a trial to determine if patients who are well controlled and on basal insulin are treated with excessive basal dose.

Read the detailed description

In many clinical trials, basal insulin is titrated to only a fasting glucose goal. The usual final dose is >0.4U/kg. In carefully CGM monitored/titrated studies in both basal insulin alone or in pump-treated T2DM, we have found the basal insulin dose to be <0.3U/kg. This suggests that if guided by a single daily fasting glucose, titration may result in an excessive basal dose. This study will examine that issue.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of time CGM glucose is <70mg/dl

    The percentage of time CGM glucose is <70 mg/dl during the basal glucose evaluation

    Measured: the subject will be followed for 9 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Percentage of time CGM glucose is <40 mg/dl

    The percentage of time the CGM glucose is <40 mg/dl

    Measured: the subject will be followed for 9 days

  2. Determined hypoglycaemic episodes

    The percentage of subjects who perceived all CGM determined hypoglycaemic episodes

    Measured: the subject will be followed for 9 days

  3. Weight gain

    The mean weight gain since initiating basal insulin fromo retrospectively gathered data.

    Measured: the subject will be followed for 9 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 2 Diabetes, run by Diabetes Care Center 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 8 inclusion and 6 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 27 Aug 2013. 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?

Percentage of time CGM glucose is <70mg/dl (time frame: the subject will be followed for 9 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01548222, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 27 Aug 2013.
