Trial summary

Cardiometabolic risk in patients with abdominal obesity and type 1 diabetes can be moderated by life style modifications. There is an intimate link between gene regulation and circadian rhythm in mediating response to exercise in a variety of insulin sensitive organs. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Elucidating the Interplay Between Circadian Rhythm and Physical Exercise on Metabolism in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes and Overweight

Cardiometabolic risk in patients with abdominal obesity and type 1 diabetes can be moderated by life style modifications. There is an intimate link between gene regulation and circadian rhythm in mediating response to exercise in a variety of insulin sensitive organs.

The aim of this project is to evaluate, by intervention, the interplay of circadian rhythm and high intensity interval training (HIIT) on glucose control and skeletal muscle metabolism in patients with overweight with or without type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Read the detailed description

High intensity interval training (HIIT) is a promising intervention for lifestyle treatment in type 1 diabetes. In spite of the interplay between circadian rhythms and exercise, the time of day in which the most robust adaption to HIIT can be achieved is unknown. The main goal of the study is to compare the efficacy of morning and afternoon HIIT in regulating blood glucose values in participants with type 1 diabetes and overweigt and to compare the effect in overweight but otherwise healthy subjects. Additionally, the investigators aim to to elucidate the metabolomics in the different settings. Healthy controls will be used to compare whether the effect of HIIT and interplay with circadian rhythm on organ metabolism is impaired in patients with T1D.

A randomized cross-over trial with 25 participants with type 1 diabetes and 25 control subjects will be performed. The participants will be examined on three occasions on an out-patient basis . Visit 1 aim to run baseline measurements and a bicycle test to define maximum exertion . On visit 2 the participants will perform a single bout of HIIT (6 1-minute pulses at maximal exertion, interspersed with 1-minute recovery) either in the morning (09.00) or afternoon (16.00). After a 1-week washout period, the participants will return for visit 3 and an opposing exercise time. Primarily, the efficacy of the morning and afternoon HIIT will be judged by the continuous glucose monitor (CGM) -based glycaemia measurements. Additionally, during the visits the investigators will collect repeated blood samples to assess the effect of exercise timing on the diurnal hormonal rhythms. Muscle biopsies will be collected before and directly after HIIT.

The hypothesis is that afternoon HIIT will be more efficacious in controlling blood glucose based on the preliminary data gathered from a 'free living' pilot study in type 2 diabetes. The current study will aim to compare the morning and afternoon exercise in controlled conditions, eliminating the effects of dietary intake, medication and sleep cycle disruption. Additionally, the tissue factors responsible for the differing glycaemic response to morning and afternoon exercise will be elucidated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time in Glucose target range (4-10 mmol/L) for tissue glucose from CGM.

    Time in target glucose range (expressed as % of total time) measured by continuous subcutaneous glucose sensors following morning or afternoon HIIT respectively. Measurements are uploaded from the CGM device and analyzed.

    Measured: 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Tissue specific effects of HIIT in type 1 diabetes vs healthy subjects

    Plasma and skeletal muscle samples will be subjected to transcriptomic and/or metabolomic analyses to evaluate the impact of HIIT on metabolic outcomes.

    Measured: 2 hours; muscle and blood samples are collected directly before and after HIIT, respectively.

  2. Time below Glucose target range (< 4 mmol/L) for tissue glucose from CGM.

    Time in the hypoglycaemic range (expressed as % of total time) measured by continuous subcutaneous glucose sensors following morning or afternoon HIIT respectively. Measurements are uploaded from the CGM device and analyzed.

    Measured: 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High intensity interval training (HIIT) in people with Type 1 Diabetes and Overweight, run by Karolinska Institutet at 1 site in Sweden.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Oct 2024. 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 Sweden. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Eva Toft, Assoc Prof (+46 706722363, eva.toft@ki.se), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time in Glucose target range (4-10 mmol/L) for tissue glucose from CGM. (time frame: 48 hours). 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 15 Oct 2024.
