Trial summary

It has been found that in some cases, when a person with Diabetes Mellitus has an episode of low blood sugar,or hypoglycemia, and then later exercises, he or she is vulnerable to another bout of hypoglycemia during that exercise. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Mechanisms of Hypoglycemia Associated Autonomic Dysfunction, Question 3

It has been found that in some cases, when a person with Diabetes Mellitus has an episode of low blood sugar,or hypoglycemia, and then later exercises, he or she is vulnerable to another bout of hypoglycemia during that exercise. The purpose of this study is to determine what factors during the previous bout of hypoglycemia might cause another bout of hypoglycemia while exercising later.

Read the detailed description

The SPECIFIC AIM of the study outlined in this proposal is to determine if hypoglycemia blunts counterregulatory responses during subsequent exercise in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus due to physiologic increases in plasma cortisol.

Conditions
Type 1 Diabetes
Being tested
glucose clamp
Keywords
cortisol, catecholamines, Type 1 DM

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing glucose clamp in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by Vanderbilt University at 1 site in United States.

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 5 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 10 Jun 2015. 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?

catecholamine measures (time frame: 8 months). 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 10 Jun 2015.
