Glucose Metabolism and Sleep in People With Family History of Type 2 Diabetes.
An observational study of Sleep and Insulin Resistance, run by University of Chicago at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
The use of sugar and starch-like foods for energy (carbohydrate metabolism) changes when people sleep. However, it is still not known if differences in the amount of nighttime sleep have an effect on the carbohydrate metabolism of people who have a relative with type 2 diabetes (parent, sibling, or grandparent).

About this study
Official title: Sleep, Energy Metabolism and Diabetes Risk.
The use of sugar and starch-like foods for energy (carbohydrate metabolism) changes when people sleep. However, it is still not known if differences in the amount of nighttime sleep have an effect on the carbohydrate metabolism of people who have a relative with type 2 diabetes (parent, sibling, or grandparent). This study is being done to test the hypothesis that individual differences in habitual sleep duration may be related to differences in the carbohydrate metabolism of people who have a history of type 2 diabetes in their family.
Read the detailed description
On two consecutive inpatient days, the participants in this study will undergo two different tests. The first test will determine how much insulin can their body produce in response to an intravenous glucose infusion over a period of several hours. The second test will determine how effective is the action of the sugar-processing hormone, insulin, in their body when it is infused intravenously together with glucose over a period of several hours.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Reduced sleep | Habitual sleep duration of less than 6 hours per night on most days of the week and total sleep of less than 43 hours per week. | |
| Reference sleep | Habitual sleep duration between 7 and 8.5 hours per night on most days of the week and total sleep of at least 53 hours per week. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Total body insulin sensitivity
Measured: at the end of a 4-hour hyperinsulinemic clamp
Secondary outcomes (3)
First and second phase insulin secretion
Measured: during a 3-hour hyperglycemic clamp
Endogenous glucose production
Measured: before and during a 4-hour hyperinsulinemic clamp
Glycerol turnover and free fatty acid concentration
Measured: before and during a 4-hour hyperinsulinemic clamp

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 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 5 Sep 2013. 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 United States. 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?
Total body insulin sensitivity (time frame: at the end of a 4-hour hyperinsulinemic clamp). 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 5 Sep 2013.
