Trial summary

Post-meal glucose excursions may contribute to the development of diabetes-related complications. These glucose excursions are affected by the food content of the meal and the timing of insulin injection (or insulin pump-bolus) before meal. The best timing for insulin bolus (by pump) is controversial. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Food Content and Optimal Timing of Pre-meal Insulin Bolus on the Postprandial Glycemic Control in Children With Type 1 Diabetes

Post-meal glucose excursions may contribute to the development of diabetes-related complications. These glucose excursions are affected by the food content of the meal and the timing of insulin injection (or insulin pump-bolus) before meal. The best timing for insulin bolus (by pump) is controversial.

The aim of the study is to examine three different timings of insulin bolus in three types of breakfast meals that contain carbohydrates, carbohydrates + proteins and carbohydrate+ fat. The 3h post-meal glucose excursions will be recorded by continuous glucose monitoring system. The results obtained in the diabetic patients will be compared to those obtained in a group of healthy individuals that will consume similar meals.

What is being measured

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

  1. Post-prandial blood glucose excursions following three different meals and three different timings of insulin bolus.

    Each diabetes patient will be assigned for one of three breakfast meals, differed by their content: carbohydrates, carbohydrates + proteins or carbohydrates + fat. Post-meal blood glucose excursions will be recoded by continuous blood glucose monitoring at three different days. In each day insulin bolus will be administrated at a different timing before meal.

    Each healthy participant will consume the three types of breakfast meals at three different days, and post-meal blood glucose excursions will be recoded by continuous blood glucose monitoring.

    Measured: outcome measures will be assessed for each particiapant after a week; the overall timeframe for all participants is 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing insulin in people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Kaplan Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 7 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Feb 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 Israel. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Amnon Zung, MD (972-8-9441260, amnon_z@clalit.org.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Post-prandial blood glucose excursions following three different meals and three different timings of insulin bolus. (time frame: outcome measures will be assessed for each particiapant after a week; the overall timeframe for all participants is 18 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 22 Feb 2013.
