Trial summary

Self-monitoring of blood glucose using capillary glucose testing has a number of shortcomings compared to continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). We aimed to compare these two methods and used blood glucose measurements in venous blood as a reference. Read more about this study

About this study

Self-monitoring of blood glucose using capillary glucose testing has a number of shortcomings compared to continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). We aimed to compare these two methods and used blood glucose measurements in venous blood as a reference. Despite considerable inter-individual variability of postprandial glycemic responses, CGM evaluated postprandial glycemic excursions which had comparable results compared to standard blood glucose measurements under real-life conditions.

Read the detailed description

Self-monitoring of blood glucose using capillary glucose testing (C) has a number of shortcomings compared to continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). We aimed to compare these two methods and used blood glucose measurements in venous blood (IV) as a reference. Postprandial blood glucose levels were measured after 50 g oral glucose load and after the consumption of a portion of different foods containing 50 g of carbohydrates. We also evaluated the associations between postprandial glucose responses and the clinical characteristics of the participants at the beginning of the study. Incremental area under the curve (AUCi) of postprandial blood glucose was calculated for 1 h (AUCi 0-60) and 2 h (AUCi 0-120). Despite considerable inter-individual variability of postprandial glycemic responses, CGM evaluated postprandial glycemic excursions which had comparable results compared to standard blood glucose measurements under real-life conditions.

  • Determination of postprandial glucose response by continuous glucose measurement after consuming different carbohydrate containing foodsDevice

    One day prior to the study beginning, participants were equipped with a CGM system (FreeStyle Libre®, Abbott Diabetes Care, Alameda, CA, USA). This CGM system provides glucose recordings every 15 min over a period of 14 days. The glucose data were downloaded manually by a scan with a handheld device.

    On the second day of the study, participants consumed portions of these three test products containing 50 g of available carbohydrate on 3 separate days without a washout period. The products were tested in random order at the same time of the morning after a 10 h overnight fast. Venous blood samples were collected at 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105 and 120 min postprandial by inserting an intravenous cannula into a forearm vein. Capillary blood samples were obtained through finger pricking. Blood glucose levels in these samples were measured with a high quality SMBG system (ContourXT/Contour next, Ascensia Diabetes Care, Leverkusen, Deutschland, Germany).

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Evaluation of CGM compared with standard measurementsOtherTwo products were studied: white bread (Butter Toast®, Golden Toast, Wittenberg, Germany) and whole grain bread (1688 Mehrkorn®, Harry-Brot, Schenefeld, Germany). One portion (containing 50 g digestible carbohydrates) was eaten immediately before the beginning of the test in the morning after an overnight fast of at least 10 h. Before testing, participants ate as usual on the previous day without a standard meal and refrained from consuming alcohol and exercising for 72 h. A 200-ml glucose drink (Accu-Chek Dextrose O.G.-T. Saft®, Roche Diabetes Care, Mannheim, Germany), containing also 50 g of carbohydrates, was used as the reference product.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Determination of postprandial glucose response by continuous glucose measurement after consuming different carbohydrate containing foods in people with Postprandial Glucose Response and Glycaemic Index, run by West German Center of Diabetes and Health at 1 site in Germany.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 3 May 2023. 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 Germany. 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?

Postprandial glucose response (time frame: 1 and 2 hours after food consumption). 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 3 May 2023.
