About this study

Official title: Use of CGM in Adolescents With Poorly-controlled Type 1 Diabetes

The purpose of this study is to see if children and adolescents with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes will benefit from using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), a device that can be used to check blood sugars.

Read the detailed description

Adolescents with type 1 diabetes, HbA1c ≥9% on insulin pumps were admitted to the clinical research center and a continuous glucose sensor was inserted. Sensor glucose (SG) values were compared to plasma glucose measured at least hourly using Yellow Springs Instrument's (YSI) glucose analyzer. SG rather than YSI was used for treatment decisions unless YSI was <70 mg/dL or specific criteria indicating SG and YSI were very discordant were met.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of High Glucose Correction Doses Administered.

    Principal study outcome was comparing insulin doses using pre- and post-meal sensor versus plasma glucose values. All insulin dose calculations over a 24-hour period were made using sensor glucose concentrations; these doses were compared to the those calculated as if plasma glucose were to be used instead for dose calculations.

    Measured: 24 hrs

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pre- and Post-meal (2-3 Hour) Glucose Levels

    Mean sensor and plasma pre- and post-meal glucose concentrations for all dinner (n=8), bedtime snack (n=8), and breakfast (n=10) during the study period.

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by Nemours Children's Clinic 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 5 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 28 Jun 2023. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Jun 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of High Glucose Correction Doses Administered. (time frame: 24 hrs). 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 NCT01586065, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 28 Jun 2023.
