Trial summary

Glycemia following pizza consumption is typically managed with a dual wave insulin bolus. This study evaluated the effect of a simple bolus on glycemia following consumption of traditionally prepared pizzas with long (22 hours) or short (8 hours) dough fermentation periods.

About this study

Official title: Demystifying the Pizza Bolus: the Effect of Dough Fermentation Time on Glycemic Response in Children With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Receiving Sensor-augmented Pump Therapy

Glycemia following pizza consumption is typically managed with a dual wave insulin bolus. This study evaluated the effect of a simple bolus on glycemia following consumption of traditionally prepared pizzas with long (22 hours) or short (8 hours) dough fermentation periods.

Read the detailed description

All participants received pizza prepared in one of two ways, as described below, on two separate days. On the first day, they were given a pizza prepared with dough fermented for 8 hours (pizza A), and on the second study day they received a pizza prepared with dough fermented for 24 hours (pizza B). Participants and their parents were blinded to the type of pizza served on each day. Both meals were served at 7.00 pm at the pizzeria where the pizza had been prepared, and consumed within 30 minutes.

Children and adolescents aged between 4 and 18 years with type 1 diabetes were eligible for inclusion in the study if they had received SIP therapy (MiniMed™ 640G, Medtronic, Tolochenaz, Switzerland) for at least 3 months One pizza of each type was prepared for chemical analysis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing the patients ate a pizza that fermented for 8 hours and the patients ate a pizza that fermented for 24 hours in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli at 1 site in Italy.

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 20 Nov 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 Italy. 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?

Continuous glucose sensor data (time frame: 11 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 NCT03748251, which also lists 8 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 20 Nov 2018.
