Trial summary

The investigators hypothesise that reducing basal insulin dose (Glargine, Lantus, Sanofi-Aventis, or Detemir, Levemir, Novo Nordisk), whilst employing current carbohydrate feeding and rapid-acting insulin dose recommendations will protect patients with type 1 diabetes from early- and late-onset hypoglycaemia following… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Metabolic and Glycaemic Effects of a Combined Basal-Bolus Insulin Reduction And Carbohydrate Feeding Strategy For Evening Exercise in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

The investigators hypothesise that reducing basal insulin dose (Glargine, Lantus, Sanofi-Aventis, or Detemir, Levemir, Novo Nordisk), whilst employing current carbohydrate feeding and rapid-acting insulin dose recommendations will protect patients with type 1 diabetes from early- and late-onset hypoglycaemia following evening time exercise.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Basal insulin dose in people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Northumbria University at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 5 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 15 Jan 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 Kingdom. 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?

24 hour blood glucose area under the curve (time frame: 24 hours). 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 NCT02204839, which also lists 2 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 Jan 2015.
