  • Use of non-insulin medications intended to lower glucose (e.g. glucagon-like peptide [GLP]-1 agonists, metformin)
  • Currently uses a clearly defined method for insulin bolusing to compensate for significant activity (e.g. marathon runner who uses temporary basal rates routinely and has separate basal profiles to account for exercise)
  • Inability to be physically active for more than 30 minutes per day.
  • Current enrollment in another intervention clinical trial.

About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of Activity-Based Bolus Decisions in Type 1 Diabetes

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate safety and feasibility of a decision support system aimed at improving activity-related insulin boluses in Type 1 Diabetes.

Read the detailed description

Subjects with Type 1 diabetes often need to adjust insulin boluses for activity since activity may increase the chance of hypoglycemia. The aims of this study is to make better bolus decisions by integrating knowledge about daily physical activity (PA) into bolus decisions. It is expected to decrease risk of hypoglycemia related to previous PA and provide better glucose control. The idea is to first obtain a carbohydrate ratio that is optimized around the everyday activity level of the patient and then adjust boluses when the activity for the day is different (above or below) than their regular activity level.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Activity on BoardOther

    During the collection phase, the study team will collect information on glucose values, activity measures and insulin settings. This information will be used to determine the meal and correction boluses during the study admission. Subjects will wear a continuous glucose monitor during the data collection phase and study admission.

  • Usual Diabetes CareOther

    Subjects will perform their usual diabetes care including basal rate, meal and correction boluses during the study admission. Subjects will wear a continuous glucose monitor during the study admission.

Activity on BoardExperimentalBlinded CGM data will be collected prior to the Experimental Admission to determine the insulin bolus that will be determined by the activity on board calculator. Subjects will wear a continuous glucose monitor during the study admission.
Receives: Other: Activity on Board
Usual Diabetes CarePlacebo comparatorSubjects will use their usual diabetes care, including basal rate, correction factor and carbohydrate-insulin ratio. Subjects will determine their own insulin usage during the Control Admission. Subjects will wear a continuous glucose monitor during the study admission.
Receives: Other: Usual Diabetes Care

What is being measured

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

  1. Continuous Glucose Monitor metrics

    Record CGM metrics with the primary outcome analysis of percentage time <70 mg/dL by CGM following exercise comparing the experimental to control admission

    Measured: about 9-12 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Activity on Board and Usual Diabetes Care in people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by University of Virginia 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 9 inclusion and 8 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 May 2018. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Continuous Glucose Monitor metrics (time frame: about 9-12 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 23 May 2018.
