About this study

Official title: Carbohydrate Loading Before and Intermittent High Carbohydrate Intake During Prolonged Physical Exercise in Individuals With Type 1 Diabetes is Associated With Good Glucose Control

Prolonged physical exercise (PE) is a challenge in type 1 diabetes with an increased incidence of both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.

The purpose was to evaluate the impact of two consecutive days of carbohydrate (CHO) loading, followed by high intermittent CHO-intake during prolonged PE, facilitated by a proactive use of Real-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring (rtCGM), on glucose control in individuals with type 1 diabetes.

Ten physically active individuals with type 1 diabetes were invited to participate in a 3-day long sports camp with the objective to evaluate CHO-loading and high intermittent CHO-intake during prolonged PE. 1.5 months later the same procedure was evaluated during a 90 km cross-country skiing race. Participants were instructed to act proactively using rtCGM with predictive alerts set for high and low glucose values to maintain sensor glucose values within target range, defined as 72-180 mg/dl (4-10 mmol/l).

Read the detailed description

This is a descriptive, single arm, non-randomized interventional study. The intervention consisted of carbohydrate loading prior to and intermittent high carbohydrate intake during physical exercise and a proactive use of Real-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring (rtCGM) to achieve and maintain glucose control.

What is being measured

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

  1. The percentage of the glucose values spent in target range, defined as 72-180 mg/dl.

    Measured: Through 48 hours of carbohydrate loading and an average of 6.5 hours of cross-country skiing.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Carbohydrate loading and high intermittent carbohydrate intake during physical exercise in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by Örebro University, Sweden.

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 26 Oct 2018. 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?

The percentage of the glucose values spent in target range, defined as 72-180 mg/dl. (time frame: Through 48 hours of carbohydrate loading and an average of 6.5 hours of cross-country skiing.). 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 NCT03722225, 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 Oct 2018.
