Trial summary

Looking for strict normoglycemia in type 1 diabetes increases the risk of hypoglycemia, exposing to hypoglycemia unawareness. It has been shown that the early correction of hypoglycemia can help recovering the perception of hypoglycemia. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Continuous Glucose Monitoring and Hypoglycemia Unawareness in Type 1 Diabetes: a Pilot Study

Looking for strict normoglycemia in type 1 diabetes increases the risk of hypoglycemia, exposing to hypoglycemia unawareness. It has been shown that the early correction of hypoglycemia can help recovering the perception of hypoglycemia. The purpose of this prospective study was to assess the value of sensor-augmented insulin-pump therapy to treat hypoglycemia unawareness.

Read the detailed description

To confirm hypoglycemia unawareness, patients answered a questionnaire based on the items explored by the model of Clarke 19 about hypoglycemia and hypoglycemia awareness. The eligibility of patients was confirmed by a blinded CG M recording using the trademark iPro ™ 2 sensor for 6 days. During this period the patient reported on a logbook the perception of their hypoglycemia, symptoms and how any hypoglycemia was corrected. Hypoglycemic manifestations were divided into adrenergic (shakiness, anxiety, palpitations, sweating, hunger, nausea, headache, coldness and pallor) and neuroglycopenic effects (impaired judgment, moodiness, paresthesia, emotional lability, confusion, ataxia, double vision, amnesia, seizures and lethargy). The confrontation of hypoglycemia detected by the blinded CG M and self-reported hypoglycemia validated the diagnosis of hypoglycemia unawareness.

Patients used the Paradigm® Veo™ pump and glucose sensors (trademark : Enlite®) with an hypoglycemia alarm set at sensor glucose value of 70 mg/dL while the LG S option was set to suspend insulin delivery at a sensor glucose value of 50 mg/dL or less. These thresholds allowed an active correction of hypoglycemia by the patient between 50 and 70 mg/dL. Patients were educated to use the system and to treat and manage hypoglycemia. Pump data were uploaded using the trademark Medtronic CareLink™ Management Software for Diabetes during visits at 10 days (D10), 2 months (M2) and 3 months (M3). Hypoglycemia awareness was assessed by an initial quiz that was repeated at M3 and 6 months (M6). A blinded CGM iPro ™ 2 was also realized at M3 to validate the modifications after sensor-augmented insulin-pump therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 1 Diabetes, run by CHU de Reims at 1 site in France.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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 30 Jul 2018. 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 France. 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?

Glycemia measured by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and pump (time frame: Day 0). The study lists 4 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 NCT03605979, 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 30 Jul 2018.
