About this study

Official title: The Effect of Continuous Glucose Monitoring With and Without Real Time Access to Glucose Values and Glucose Alerts on Course of Glucose and Satisfaction With CGMS in Type 1 Diabetic Patients

The objective of this cross over study is to access if continuous glucose monitoring (CGMS) with a real time feed back and hypoglycemic as well as hyperglycemic glucose alerts vs. only retrospective analysis of glucose values is able to improve course of glucose with special regard to time spent in hypoglycemic glucose ranges in type 1 diabetic patients with impaired hypoglycemia awareness or a history of severe hypoglycemia. The second objective is to access satisfaction with CGMS during both conditions

Read the detailed description

The objective of this cross over study is to access if continuous glucose monitoring (CGMS) with a real time feed back and hypoglycemic as well as hyperglycemic glucose alerts vs. only retrospective analysis of glucose values is able to improve course of glucose with special regard to time spent in hypoglycemic glucose ranges. The second objective is to access satisfaction with CGMS during both conditions.

This study is conducted in an inpatient setting with type 1 diabetic patients. Partisans are asked to have twice a continuous glucose measurement with the GlucoDay System (Menarini Diagnostics). Each measurement period is limited to maximal 48 hours. In one condition the have real time access to current glucose values and alerts are given if glucose is dropping below 70 mg/dl or exceeding 180 mg/dl. During the other condition the participants are blind against their current glucose values and no alerts are given. Glucose course is retrospectively analyzed.

The order of these two conditions is randomized.

Expected outcome:

The primary outcome variable is the daily time spent in hypoglycemic range in type 1 diabetic patients with and without impaired hypoglycemia awareness or a history of severe hypoglycemia. Additionally the patients will also complete questionnaire about satisfaction with CGMS, diabetes related distress, treatment satisfaction, depressive and anxiety symptoms which belongs to the secondary variables.

Inclusion criteria:

  • Type 1 diabetes
  • Age > 18 years
  • Informed consent

Exclusion criteria:

  • Diagnosis and/or treatment of a current psychiatric disease
  • Severe late complications

What participants receive

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

  • Real time access to current glucose values during CGMSDevice

    One arm gets real time access to current measured glucose values and hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic alerts are elicited, The second arm get´s a retrospective analysis of glucose values

What is being measured

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

  1. Daily time spent in the hypoglycemic glucose range during continuous glucose measurement with and without real time access to glucose values and glucose alarms

    Measured: during the 48 hours of using blind vs. unblind continuous glucose monitoring

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Time spent in euglycemic and hyperglycemic glucose range Satisfaction with CGMS Diabetes related distress Treatment satisfaction Anxiety and depressive symptoms

    Measured: During and after the 48 hours measurement of CGMS

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Real time access to current glucose values during CGMS in people with Type 1 Diabetes and Hypoglycemia, run by Forschungsinstitut der Diabetes Akademie Mergentheim at 2 sites 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 31 Oct 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Daily time spent in the hypoglycemic glucose range during continuous glucose measurement with and without real time access to glucose values and glucose alarms (time frame: during the 48 hours of using blind vs. unblind continuous glucose monitoring). 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 NCT00467688, 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 31 Oct 2007.
