Trial summary

The purpose of this project is to look at how sleep affects glucose values in children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. It will also evaluate if glucose is affected by times of day due to the body's own internal rhythm also known as the circadian rhythm. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this project is to look at how sleep affects glucose values in children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. It will also evaluate if glucose is affected by times of day due to the body's own internal rhythm also known as the circadian rhythm.

Read the detailed description

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is one of the most prevalent chronic pediatric diseases, affecting 2.80 cases per 1000 youth between the ages of 10 and 19. Since the crux of diabetes management is glucose regulation, any further challenges such as stress and/or poor sleep may make glucose regulation even more difficult. Mounting evidence supports the association between inadequate sleep and obesity as well as metabolic syndrome. Despite emerging findings supporting that total sleep time (TST) may contribute to the risk of obesity and/or metabolic complications, less research has been focused on Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) and on other sleep parameters.

Participants will have a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) and actigraph placed which they will wear for 5 days. At the end of the 5 days, they will return the glucose meter, CGM, and actigraph to a clinic staff or research team member to download their data. They will provide us with a glucose log that contains the glucose levels obtained from a fingerstick capillary glucose meter. In this log, participants will also record their activities, meals, and insulin administered. They will also provide us with a sleep diary. In addition, participants will have the option for the child to undergo polysomnography (sleep study) for one night in their home or two nights in the sleep lab.

What is being measured

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

  1. This study could help find if there are particular times of day or times during sleep that change glucose the most.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. This study may help make recommendations about the best time to test glucose values and better help children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus control their glucose levels.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and Sleep, run by University of Arizona 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 2 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 15 Apr 2011. 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?

This study could help find if there are particular times of day or times during sleep that change glucose the most. (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT00848822, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 Apr 2011.
