Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and feasibility of a decision support system aimed at reducing glucose variability in T1DM patient using an insulin pump.


Description:

The overall aim of this proposed research is to demonstrate the safety and feasibility of a decision support system aimed at reducing glucose variability in T1DM patient using an insulin pump. The system will be deployed on our portable medical application platform (DiAs) and will include insulin pump treatment parameters optimization and an exercise risk warning system, capable of predicting hypoglycemia at the onset of physical activity and advising on mitigating alteration of treatment. A second phase of the trial will enroll additional users of insulin pumps, and subjects who treat their T1DM with the use of multiple daily injections (MDI) of insulin. MDI users should be administering the Lantus (glargine) dose at approximately the same time each day and use only one basal rate per day. MDI users will also use MySugr app to count carbohydrates for all meals that require insulin treatment.

Any reason for which the study MD considers the subject not properly fitted for the trial (i.e. insulin pump that does not record what is needed for the trial). 16. Current enrollment in another clinical trial.

Study Design


Intervention

Device:
Decision Support System
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and feasibility of a Decision Support System aimed at reducing glucose variability in T1DM patient using an insulin pump or MDI. The system will be deployed on our portable medical application platform (DiAs) and will include the following elements: An insulin pump treatment parameters optimization routine, using a month of collected CGM/insulin/meal data An exercise risk warning system, capable of predicting hypoglycemia at the onset of physical activity and advising on mitigating alteration of treatment. A smart bolus calculator based on CGM glucose measurements and insulin sensitivity estimation.
Other:
Usual Care
During the Control study admission, DiAs will be programmed with the home insulin dosing parameters. The study subject will use the home basal/bolus MDI or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) insulin regimen via the home insulin pens or pump and determine the amount of insulin to give for the entire admission per the subject's home carb counting parameters and as calculated by the DiAs meal screen.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Glucose Variability (Coefficient of Variation) Assess effectiveness of glucose variability (GV) advisory system in reducing glucose variability in T1DM patient using an insulin pump. Duration of the 48 hour study admission
Secondary Low Blood Glucose Index (LBGI) Low blood glucose index (LBGI) by CGM with higher index indicating higher risk of hypoglycemia. Values <1 suggest minimal risk. Index of risk of low blood glucose excursion based on a standard formula for non-linear transformation of the blood glucose scale (Kovatchev BP, Cox DJ, Gonder-Frederick LA, Young-Hyman D, Schlundt D, Clarke WL: Assessment of risk for severe hypoglycemia among adults with IDDM (Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus): validation of the low blood glucose index. Diabetes Care 21:1870-1875, 1998) 48 hour study admission, outcomes were further divided into segments of the day: overnight (11 pm- 7 am).
Secondary Percent Below 50 mg/dL CGM measured blood sugar values below 50 mg/dL falls into the range of hypoglycemia which have the potential to lead to unconsciousness or death. Thus, less time below 50 mg/dL is considered a better outcome. 48 hour study admission, outcomes were further divided into segments of the day: overnight (11 pm- 7 am), and around meals (the 4 h following lunch and dinner, breakfast excluded due to exercise).
Secondary Percent Below 60 mg/dL CGM measured blood sugar values below 60 mg/dL falls into the range of hypoglycemia which have the potential to lead to unconsciousness or death. Thus, less time below 60 mg/dL is considered a better outcome. 48 hour study admission, outcomes were further divided into segments of the day: overnight (11 pm- 7 am), and around meals (the 4 h following lunch and dinner, breakfast excluded due to exercise).
Secondary Percent Below 70 mg/dL CGM measured blood sugar values below 70 mg/dL falls into the range of hypoglycemia which have the potential to lead to unconsciousness or death. Thus, less time below 70 mg/dL is considered a better outcome. 48 hour study admission, outcomes were further divided into segments of the day: overnight (11 pm- 7 am), and around meals (the 4 h following lunch and dinner, breakfast excluded due to exercise).
Secondary Percent Between 70 and 180 mg/dL CGM measured blood sugar values between 70 abd 180 mg/dL are considered to be desirable. A higher percentage of time in this range is indicative of a desirable outcome. 48 hour study admission, outcomes were further divided into segments of the day: overnight (11 pm- 7 am), and around meals (the 4 h following lunch and dinner, breakfast excluded due to exercise).
Secondary Percent Above 180 mg/dL CGM measured blood sugar values above 180 mg/dL are considered to be undesirable. Thus, less time spent above 180 mg/dL is considered a positive outcome 48 hour study admission, outcomes were further divided into segments of the day: overnight (11 pm- 7 am), and around meals (the 4 h following lunch and dinner, breakfast excluded due to exercise).
Secondary Percent Above 250 mg/dL CGM measured blood sugar values above 250 mg/dL are considered to be undesirable. Thus, less time spent above 250 mg/dL is considered a positive outcome 48 hour study admission, outcomes were further divided into segments of the day: overnight (11 pm- 7 am), and around meals (the 4 h following lunch and dinner, breakfast excluded due to exercise).
Secondary Percent Above 300 mg/dL CGM measured blood sugar values above 300 mg/dL are considered to be undesirable. Thus, less time spent above 300 mg/dL is considered a positive outcome 48 hour study admission, outcomes were further divided into segments of the day: overnight (11 pm- 7 am), and around meals (the 4 h following lunch and dinner, breakfast excluded due to exercise).
Secondary Average Glycemia (mg/dL) Average glycemia is a measure of the average CGM value in mg/dL during the 48 hour study admission. A lower value, without approaching hypoglycemia, is indicative of a desirable outcome. 48 hour study admission, outcomes were further divided into segments of the day: overnight (11 pm- 7 am), and around meals (the 4 h following lunch and dinner, breakfast excluded due to exercise).
Secondary Total Insulin Used This measure is an average of the total amount of insulin (both basal and bolus) used by participants during the study admission. 48 hour study admission, outcomes were further divided into segments of the day: overnight (11 pm- 7 am), and around meals (the 4 h following lunch and dinner, breakfast excluded due to exercise).
Secondary Basal Insulin Used This measure is an average of the total amount of basal insulin used by participants during the study admission. 48 hour study admission, outcomes were further divided into segments of the day: overnight (11 pm- 7 am), and around meals (the 4 h following lunch and dinner, breakfast excluded due to exercise).
Secondary Total Rescue Carbohydrates (CHO) (Grams) The average of the total amount of rescue carbohydrates (grams) administered during the study admission under safety protocols. Administering fewer carbohydrates is a desirable outcome because it indicates better control. 48 hour study admission, outcomes were further divided into segments of the day: overnight (11 pm- 7 am), and around meals (the 4 h following lunch and dinner, breakfast excluded due to exercise).
