About this study

Official title: A Late Night Snack May be Necessary to Prevent Nocturnal Hyperglycemia in Type 1-diabetic Patients Using Insulin Glargine (LANTUS)

Twenty patient with Type 1 diabetes, using insulin glargine as basal insulin, participated in a prospective, controlled crossover trial comparing blood glucose profiles over two 24 h periods with and without a late night snack (a slice of rye bread, 20 g carbohydrates, at 10 p.m.), in randomized order. The main endpoint was the number of hypoglycemic episodes with a confirmed laboratory blood glucose ≤ 50 mg/dl between 10 p.m. and 8 p.m. the following day. Secondary endpoint was the blood glucose profile during this period.

Read the detailed description

The order of studies (with and without a late night snack) was determined by randomization. Study-related procedures started at 6 p.m. (standard blood glucose profiles with determinations at 6, 8, and 10 p.m, at midnight, at 2, 4, 6:45, 8:45 a.m., and at noon and 2, 6, and 8 p.m. of the following day). At 10 p.m. a late night snack (one slice of whole meal rye bread containing approximately 20 g of carbohydrate) was eaten or no nutrients were consumed, as determined by the randomization protocol. After one day without study-related activities, the study was repeated with the complementary protocol (crossover design). Patients were instructed to use fast-acting insulin to correct hyperglycemia three times per day (before major meals) or to take in additional carbohydrate when symptomatic or chemical hypoglycemia was noted. They were asked not to perform strenuous exercise beyond their normal daily activities.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Late night snack and No late night snack in people with Type 1 Diabetes and Hypoglycemia, run by Diabeteszentrum Bad Lauterberg im Harz at 1 site in Germany.

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 6 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 18 Aug 2016. 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 Germany. 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?

Hypoglycemia (time frame: 26 hours). 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 18 Aug 2016.
