Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 40 years
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Clinical diagnosis of type 1 diabetes and using daily insulin therapy for at least one year
  • Age 18-40 years
  • Insulin regimen involves either the use of an insulin pump or multiple daily injections of insulin (at least 3 shots per day). Subjects using premixed fixed doses of insulin at the time of enrolment will not be eligible. Insulin regimen must be stable for at least 4 weeks (i.e. on multiple insulin injections or on insulin pump) prior to randomization.
  • No expectation that subject will be moving out of the area of the clinical center during the next year, unless the move will be to an area served by another study center
  • Informed Consent Form signed by the subject
  • In addition, specific eligibility criteria apply to the respective groups:
Show all 12Show fewer
  • Pre-pregnancy Group:
  • Patients who are planning pregnancy and wish to optimise glycemic control before conception
  • Pregnancy Group:
  • Pregnancy gestation ≤13 weeks, 6 days at time of randomization
  • Live singleton fetus
  • Dating ultrasound (US) done to confirm gestational age, viability and rule out multiples. Gestational age will be based on the last menstrual period (LMP) provided there is a ≤5 day discrepancy with US dates in the first trimester and ≤10 day discrepancy with US dates in the second trimester. If the dates from LMP are outside these limits, the US dates will be used as the best estimate of gestational age.

Who cannot join

  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Gestational diabetes
  • Previous participation in the study
  • Estimated GFR <60 ml/min/1.73
  • The presence of a significant medical disorder or use of a medication such as oral glucocorticoids that in the judgment of the investigator will affect the wearing of the sensors or the completion of any aspect of the protocol.
  • If the investigator is uncertain whether the patient would be eligible; i.e. if the medical disorder would constitute an exclusion, the Steering Committee will be asked to make the decision.
Show all 15Show fewer
  • Inpatient psychiatric treatment in the past 6 months
  • Subjects using premixed fixed doses of insulin at the time of enrolment
  • In addition, specific exclusion criteria apply to the respective groups:
  • Pre-pregnancy Group:
  • HbA1c <7.0% or >10.0%
  • Pregnancy Group:
  • HbA1c <6.5% or >10.0%
  • Known current higher order pregnancies (twins, triplets, etc.) These women will be excluded as they have a higher rate of adverse outcomes and could lead to inequalities if they are unequally distributed between the groups.
  • Known potentially major fetal anomaly (as per EUROCAT criteria).

About this study

The primary objective of the study is to determine if RT CGM (Real Time-Continuous Glucose Monitoring) can improve glycemic control in women with T1D who are pregnant or planning pregnancy.

Read the detailed description

In women with diabetes, hyperglycemia is associated with increased rates of numerous maternal and fetal adverse outcomes. Mothers are at increased risk of preeclampsia, polyhydramnios, and caesarean sections. Infants of mothers with diabetes have increased rates of congenital anomalies, premature delivery, macrosomia, stillbirth and NICU admissions. Macrosomia itself is associated with numerous adverse fetal outcomes including shoulder dystocia, birth injury, neonatal hypoglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, respiratory distress syndrome and NICU admissions, asphyxia and death. Postprandial blood sugars in particular have been associated with increased macrosomia rates.

Numerous studies have shown that pregnancy outcomes can be reduced with improved glycemic control. In particular, pre-pregnancy care has been shown to assist women improve glucose control during the crucial period of organogenesis, and is associated with reduced rates of adverse pregnancy outcome including major congenital malformation, stillbirth and neonatal death.

Technological advances aimed at reducing glycemic excursions and improving glucose control in patients with diabetes include the continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system. We hypothesize that real-time CGM will assist women with type 1 diabetes to improve their glycemic control before and during pregnancy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Glycemic Control in pre-pregnant group

    Glycemic control as measured by HbA1c at 24 weeks or at conception. If the patient becomes pregnant, than a HbA1c will be measured post-confirmation of a positive pregnancy test and will contribute to the primary outcome.

    Measured: 24 weeks or at conception

  2. Glycemic Control in pregnant group

    Glycemic control as measured by HbA1c at 34 weeks gestation. In women who do not progress to 34 weeks gestation, the latest measured HbA1c will be used to contribute to the primary outcome.

    Measured: 34 weeks gestation

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?

Glycemic Control in pre-pregnant group (time frame: 24 weeks or at conception). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01788527, which also lists 7 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.
