Trial summary

Background: Post-prandial hyperglycemia is common in people with type 1 diabetes. Objective: The aim was to determine the impact of low vs high glycemic index (GI) on post-prandial glycemia for breakfast vs lunch and to quantify these effects with continuous glucose monitoring.

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Glycemic Index on Post-prandial Glycemia (Breakfast vs. Lunch) in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes: Quantification With Continuous Glucose Monitoring

Background: Post-prandial hyperglycemia is common in people with type 1 diabetes.

Objective: The aim was to determine the impact of low vs high glycemic index (GI) on post-prandial glycemia for breakfast vs lunch and to quantify these effects with continuous glucose monitoring.

Design: Seven adult subjects with type 1 diabetes participated in two experiments, each consisting of two meals each. In one experiment, both meals had a low GI; in the other, high GI. Meals were given 195 minutes apart and were matched for carbohydrate, protein, and fat content. Each subject received his usual pre-prandial insulin dosage, followed by a continuous subcutaneous basal insulin infusion for the remainder of the experiment. Arterialized venous glucose was analyzed every 15 minutes and sensor glucose was recorded every 5 minutes.

Read the detailed description

A total of 14 diet studies (each with two meals) were completed in three men and four women. All subjects completed two diet studies in which two meals were served 195 minutes apart. On one study day, two high GI (> 75) meals were given, and on the other study day, two low GI (< 30) meals were given. The low GI and high GI meals were matched for amount of carbohydrates, protein, and fat based on a weight-maintaining diet for each subject. The order of the study treatment (high or low GI) was randomized. Subjects were not informed as the GI of any meal.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Area Under the Curve for Rise in Breakfast Post-prandial.

    Arterialized blood glucose was monitored at 15 minute intervals and sensed glucose was recorded at five minute intervals. Mean area under the curve was calculated over the 3 hour period after breakfast for both the high and low glycemic breakfast meals.

    Measured: Mean area under the curve was calculated at 0, 15min, 30 min, 45 min, 60min, 75 min, 90 min, 105 min, 120min, 135min, 150min, 165min and 180 min after breakfast

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dexcom Seven® Plus Continuous Glucose Monitoring sensor in people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Legacy Health System 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 12 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 23 Oct 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Oct 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Mean Area Under the Curve for Rise in Breakfast Post-prandial. (time frame: Mean area under the curve was calculated at 0, 15min, 30 min, 45 min, 60min, 75 min, 90 min, 105 min, 120min, 135min, 150min, 165min and 180 min after breakfast). 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 23 Oct 2015.
