About this study

To measure and quantify the postprandial glucose variations in response to a meal in the healthy 6-12 months old child and correlate this response with the composition of this meal.

Read the detailed description

14 full-term infants (boys and girls) aged six to twelve months and fed a diversified diet including infant formula, solid foods such as mixed meat and vegetable preparation or marketed preparations will be recruited. Children will be recruited in the Lausanne Childrens hospital and only be included in the study whenin good general health.

FreeStyle® Libre Pro Interstitial Glucose Meter will be applied on the last day before discharge from the hospital after skin preparation with anesthetic cream (Emla®) during hospitalization and measurements will be recorded during 2-5 days.

It is not intended to measure capillary or venous blood glucose levels during this study. However, if blood is collected during hospitalization, blood glucose will be measured in parallel with the interstitial glucose measured with the device.

The child will follow his usual diet without modifications. The amount of food consumed by the child as well as the length of the meals will be recorded by the parents. For meals made by the parents they will be asked to keep a sample not seen to analyze their carbohydrate content. The total carbohydrate content will be measured .

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Glucose monitoring in people with Infant Conditions and Glucose Intolerance, run by University of Lausanne Hospitals at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 7 inclusion and 9 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 22 Jun 2021. 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 Switzerland. 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?

Prandial glucose variations (time frame: up to 5 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 22 Jun 2021.
