About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Insulin Bolus for High Fat Meals

The purpose of this study is to evaluate an insulin bolus for use to cover higher fat meals.

Subjects will have several admissions during which the investigators will apply an iterative dose escalation protocol to derive an optimized insulin bolus dose (carbohydrate-to-insulin ratio for fat to minimize postprandial hyperglycemia following higher fat meals. The investigators hypothesize that the incremental insulin dose required to cover dietary fat in patients with type 1 diabetes will be related to total daily insulin dose (U/kg).

Read the detailed description

Subjects for this study will be adults with type 1 diabetes who use an insulin pump for diabetes self-management.

Subjects will be admitted to the clinical research center in the morning in the fasting state. Subjects will have several admissions. During the initial two admissions, subjects will receive either pizza-low fat or pizza-high fat, covered with insulin doses calculated from their usual insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio. Study subjects in whom the bolus did not provide adequate insulin coverage for pizza-high fat will then undergo an additional 1-5 admissions during which they will receive the pizza-high fat meal with progressively increasing insulin doses until ≥ 90% of all postprandial glucose values are within the target range 80-180 mg/dL.

What is being measured

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

  1. Predictors of fat "sensitivity"

    To test the hypothesis that incremental dose increase required to cover dietary fat in patients with type 1 diabetes will be related to total daily insulin dose (TDD; U/kg) we will perform regression analysis with TDD as independent variable and the increase in insulin requirements (calculated as percent change for high fat vs low fat meal) as the dependent variable.

    Measured: 0-360 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lispro in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by Joslin Diabetes Center.

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 1 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 26 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Predictors of fat "sensitivity" (time frame: 0-360 minutes). 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 NCT02248454, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 26 Apr 2017.
