Trial summary

Diabetes control is often assessed by tests of glucose levels over time, such as the glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and fructosamine. In the later stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) there is limited data available on the utility of these tests. Read more about this study

About this study

Diabetes control is often assessed by tests of glucose levels over time, such as the glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and fructosamine. In the later stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) there is limited data available on the utility of these tests. There are reasons to believe that the tests may be less accurate in this population. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) offers an effective method for understanding the totality of glucose exposure and incidence of both hyperglycemic and hypoglycemic excursions.

Read the detailed description

In the proposed study Investigator plan to utilize CGM in patients with late stage CKD stages 3b-5 to 1) determine accuracy of HbA1c and serum fructosamine testing as measures of glucose control in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), 2) Better understand test characteristics in the late stage CKD population (correlation, linear equation, slope, Y intercept, average glucose at different HbA1c levels), 3) Develop a preliminary understanding of how test characteristics differ in late stage CKD compared to other patients with diabetes, 4) quantify time burden and number of episodes of hypoglycemia, 4) study hyperglycemic burden and 5) analyze glucose variability. The research staff will explain the study to patients that meet all inclusion criteria. Patients will get time to understand the study, review the consent document, ask questions to the PI, and then provide their consent to participate in the study. On Day 1 of the study, a CGM (Freestyle Libre) device will be placed on patients with CKD 3b-5 which will be worn for 14 consecutive days. Patients will return on Day 14 to remove the CGM device. HbA1c and fructosamine values will be drawn on Day 14 and these results will be compared with average glucose monitoring values as recorded on the CGM device. Incidence, duration, and severity of both hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic events will be analyzed. Investigators hypothesis that there will be significant variability in the serum HbA1c values when compared with calculated HbA1c from CGM readings. Investigators also hypothesize that the results will reflect a greater incidence of hypoglycemia in this population by CGM analysis.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Continuous Glucose MonitoringDevice

    • The FreeStyle Libre Pro Flash Glucose Monitoring System is a professional continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device indicated for detecting trends and tracking patterns in persons (age 18 and older) with diabetes. The Freestyle Libre Pro device is FDA approved (PMA# P150021). Participants will use the FreeStyle Libre Pro Flash Glucose Monitoring device according to its approved use, on the back of the arm.
    • CGM monitoring will be performed on Day 1 by placing the Freestyle Libre Pro on research subjects for intended use of 14 days.
    • Subjects will be advised to return to the research site on Day 14 to remove the CGM device for analysis.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Continuous glucose monitoringExperimental* If subjects meet inclusion criteria then they will return to the research site on Day 1 to place Freestyle Libre Pro device by the research staff for 14-day monitoring. * Subjects will be advised to return to the research site on Day 14 to remove the CGM device for analysis. On Day 14, blood will be drawn for HbA1c and fructosamine, The blood drawn for this research will be approximately 10-15 milliliters. * There are no drug washout periods. Subjects will continue to take all their medications and/or insulins as prescribed by their doctor. * Baseline data including age, race, ethnicity, past medical history, home medication list, and diabetes related laboratory data will be collected.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Glucose Concentration Measured by CGM

    Mean glucose concentration (mg/dL) will be measured using measurements taken by CGM device.

    Measured: 14 Days

  2. Number of Participants With Hypoglycemic Events

    Hypoglycemic event will be considered when blood sugar level is <=70 mg/dl. Detail information like time of event, number of subjects with an event, duration of event will be analyzed.

    Measured: 14 Days

  3. Mean Number of Hypoglycemic Events Per Participant.

    Total number of hypoglycemic events per subject will be calculated during the study period. Mean number of events per subject will be analyzed.

    Measured: 14 Days

  4. Duration Hypoglycemic Events

    As monitoring device measures blood glucose level numerous time, duration of hypoglycemic event will be calculated in percent time per subject based on total duration of time subject wore CGM device.

    Measured: 14 Days

  5. Mean HbA1c

    HbA1c collected at end of the participation.

    Measured: 14 Days

Secondary outcomes (2)

  1. Mean Serum Fructosamine Concentration

    Serum fructosamine (µmol/L) collected at the end of participation.

    Measured: 14 Days

  2. Determination of Serum Fructosamine

    Using blood glucose information measured with continuous blood glucose monitoring device, probable level of serum fructosamine (µmol/L) will be measured for each participant and mean will be analyzed.

    Measured: 14 days
