Clinical Trial Summary

This research is a prospective, randomized, cross-over study that is being done to compare the effect of morning only, evening only and twice daily insulin glargine (Lantus®) on hypoglycemia (blood glucose level <70 mg/dL) as measured by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in patients with type 1 diabetes.


Clinical Trial Description

Over the course of the 6 week study, patients will take insulin glargine in each of 3 different times: only in the morning, only at night, and half in the morning, half at night. After 2 weeks taking the insulin in one regimen, patients will be switched to another regimen. Through the whole study, patients will be injecting themselves twice daily, and neither the patient nor the treating doctor will know which vials contain the insulin and which have only saline (placebo). The vials will be labeled MORNING or EVENING. Patients will continue to take their mealtime, short acting insulin doses.

Additionally, patients will wear a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) which will be masked. Before the study, patients will be taught about how to use the CGM, and keep it taped to their abdomen. The site that the CGM inserts into their abdomen will need to be changed every 5 days. We will know if a patients' blood sugar goes low even if the patient did not feel the low. Patients will still have to self-monitor their blood sugar levels at-least four times in five days, to calibrate the CGM. ;
