Intensive Insulin Treatment and Ischemic Foot Ulcer
A study testing Intensified insulin treatment and Standard treatment in people with Ischemic Foot Ulcer, run by Karolinska Institutet at 2 sites in Sweden.
Trial summary
We aim to investigate the relationship between skin microvascular function and the first hospitalization for ischemic foot ulcer in patients with type 1 diabetes former randomized during 7.5 years to intensified conventional insulin treatment (ICT) compared to standard insulin treatment (ST).

About this study
Official title: Intensified Insulin Treatment and Skin Microcirculation; Its Relation to Ischemic Foot Ulcer in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: A Long-term Follow-up Study
We aim to investigate the relationship between skin microvascular function and the first hospitalization for ischemic foot ulcer in patients with type 1 diabetes former randomized during 7.5 years to intensified conventional insulin treatment (ICT) compared to standard insulin treatment (ST).
Read the detailed description
The Stockholm Diabetes Intervention Study (SDIS) aimed to determine whether intensified insulin treatment were feasible and led to less serious diabetic complications. 102 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus were randomiz (October 1982 to March 1984) to intensified conventional treatment (ICT; n=48) or standard treatment (ST; n=54). The randomized SDIS study lasted for 7.5 years, whereas 96 patients were fully evaluated. Thereafter patients were assigned to their regular clinical visits.
In the present study, 96 patients from the SDIS study were asked to participate in current study and to investigate their skin microcirculation, in which 72 patients agreed (ICT; n=35 vs. ST; n=37). Also, nineteen healthy subjects participated as controls for the method of iontophoresis, with no intention to be followed-up. Exclusions criteria were; any history or ongoing ischemic foot ulcer or peripheral artery disease or osteoartropathy. The iontophoresis investigation took place 5.5 years ± 2 months, after the primary randomization ceased (7.5 years). All participants (except the control subjects) were then followed-up until first time hospitalization for ischemic foot ulcer or until 31 december 2011.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Intensified insulin treatmentDrug
Also called Monotard; Actrapid
The treatment regimen of the intensified treatment group consisted of individual education and then continuous tutoring with frequent face-to-face and telephone contact.
Standard treatmentDrug
Also called Premixed Insulin
Patients continuing with routine diabetes care (insulin treatment), visiting physician every four months
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Intensified insulin treatment | Experimental | Basal (Monotard) insulin; ones a day Bolus (Actrapid) insulin; thrice a day Receives: Drug: Intensified insulin treatment |
| Standard treatment | Active comparator | Mixed Insulin (2-3 times a day) Receives: Drug: Standard treatment |
| Healthy controls | No intervention | These people were solely controls for the iontophoresis method used in the study. With no intervention or follow-up- |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Ischemic Foot Ulcer
The study outcome is the first hospitalization for ischemic foot ulcer, defined by the ICD-10 discharge code
Measured: Until hospitalization for ischemic foot ulcer or until 31 December 2011
