Trial summary

Regular exercise is associated with many health benefits for individuals with type 1 diabetes. However, immediate and delayed exercise-induced hypoglycemia is frequent and thus the main limiting factor for physical activity practice in this population. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Reduction of Basal Insulin to Prevent Hypoglycemia During Two Types of Exercise in Adults and Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes Using Insulin Pump Therapy

Regular exercise is associated with many health benefits for individuals with type 1 diabetes. However, immediate and delayed exercise-induced hypoglycemia is frequent and thus the main limiting factor for physical activity practice in this population. To reduce the risk of exercise-induced hypoglycemia, two types of adjustments may be considered by patients with type 1 diabetes : pre-meal insulin-dose reduction and carbohydrate supplements. Few evidence-based recommendations are available for patients using insulin pump to adjust insulin doses in order to limit exercise-induced hypoglycemia. The objective of this study is to address the magnitude of the needed reduction during two types of frequently practiced exercise (continuous vs. interval exercise) known to have a different impact on blood glucose reduction.

Read the detailed description

Each study participant will be admitted at IRCM one to five days after sensor insertion. Participants will be asked to change their pump catheter 24 to 36 hours prior to the intervention visit. On the day of the intervention visit, participants will have a standardized lunch (45-65g CHO for females and 60-80g CHO for males ) at 12:00 and will be asked not to eat afterwards (except for correction of hypoglycemia). Participants will be asked not to exercise (excluding light exercise such as walking or taking the stairs) the day before and the day of the intervention visit. Participants will be asked not to consume caffeine after 12:00 the day of the intervention. The day before the intervention and the day of the intervention, participants will be asked to refrain from alcohol consumption. Participants will be blinded to the strategy used during the exercise intervention. Participants will be admitted at IRCM at 14:00. A catheter will be installed for plasma glucose and insulin measurements. At 14:30, insulin basal rate will be reduced by 40% or 80% depending of randomization. At 15:30, participants will undertake a continuous exercise (60-minute exercise on the ergocycle at 60% of VO2 peak) or an interval exercise (2-minutes alternating intervals at 85% and 50% of VO2peak for 50-minutes, with 5-minutes at 45% VO2peak at the start and the end of exercise). As a safety measure, plasma glucose will be measured every 10 minutes. Participants will be blinded to sensor glucose levels as well as plasma glucose measurements. At 17:00, the participant will be discharged if glucose levels are above 5.5 mmol/L. Participants will be asked to eat a standardized dinner at home (45-65g CHO for females and 60-80g CHO for males). Participants will have the freedom to choose at what time they wish to have dinner but it will have to be similar on all intervention visits.

What participants receive

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

  • Continous exerciseOther

    60-minute continuous exercise on the ergocycle at 60% of VO2 peak (moderate intensity).

  • Interval exerciseOther

    Participants will perform a 60-minute interval exercise on the ergocycle at 60% of VO2 peak (moderate intensity).

  • Reduction of basal insulin by 40%Other

    Participant's insulin basal rate will be reduced by 40% 1 hour before exercise onset.

  • Reduction of basal insulin by 80%Other

    Participant's insulin basal rate will be reduced by 80% 1 hour before exercise onset.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Continous exercise, Interval exercise and Reduction of basal insulin by 40% in people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Institut de Recherches Cliniques de Montreal at 2 sites in Canada.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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 6 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Canada. 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?

Decrease in plasma glucose levels during exercise (time frame: 60 minutes). 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 6 Nov 2024.
