About this study

Official title: Comparison of Carbohydrate Counting and Food Insulin Index Methods in the Determination of Insulin Doses for High- and Low-Glycemic Index Meals in Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes

The aim of this study is to compare the impact of carbohydrate counting (CC) method which is standard insulin dose calculation algorithm and food insulin index (FII) method which is a new algorithm on postprandial glucose following a high fat and a high protein meal in adolescent with type 1 diabetes. A randomized, single-blind and crossover trial included 14 adolescents aged 14-18 years with type 1 diabetes. All participants were sent to their homes for 4 consecutive days with a different glycemic index breakfast. The insulin doses of the meals were calculated according to CC and FII methods. Test breakfasts with different GIs and insulin requirements calculated with different algorithms are as follows: High GI calculated by CC (CHGI), low GI calculated by CC (CLGI), high GI calculated by FII (FHGI) and low GI calculated by FII (FLGI).

What participants receive

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

  • High GI calculated by CC (CHGI)Other

    This test meal with high GI were served as a breakfast after 8-hours fasting and participants were asked to consume the meal in full, within 20 min.

  • Low GI calculated by CC (CLGI)Other

    This test meal with low GI were served as a breakfast after 8-hours fasting and participants were asked to consume the meal in full, within 20 min.

  • High GI calculated by FII (FHGI)Other

    This test meal with high GI were served as a breakfast after 8-hours fasting and participants were asked to consume the meal in full, within 20 min.

  • Low GI calculated by FII (FLGI)Other

    This test meal with low GI were served as a breakfast after 8-hours fasting and participants were asked to consume the meal in full, within 20 min.

What is being measured

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

  1. Postprandial glucose response by glucometer

    Postprandial glucose response was quantified as incremental area under the curve (iAUC) (mg/dL x minutes), which was calculated according to the trapezoidal rule by using blood glucose values at time points 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210 and 240 minutes.

    Measured: Four hours postprandial period (from fasting to 240 minutes after the test breakfast)

  2. Postprandial glucose response by continous glucose monitoring

    Postprandial glucose response was quantified as incremental area under the curve (iAUC) (mg/dL x minutes), which was calculated according to the trapezoidal rule by using blood glucose values at time points 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 105, 110, 115, 120, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 150, 155, 160, 165, 170, 175, 180, 185, 190, 195, 200, 205, 210, 215, 220, 225, 230, 235 and 240 minutes.

    Measured: Four hours postprandial period (from fasting to 240 minutes after the test breakfast)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High GI calculated by CC (CHGI), Low GI calculated by CC (CLGI) and High GI calculated by FII (FHGI) in people with Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus 1, run by TC Erciyes University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 7 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 9 Feb 2021. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Postprandial glucose response by glucometer (time frame: Four hours postprandial period (from fasting to 240 minutes after the test breakfast)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04131049, 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 9 Feb 2021.
