Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Characteristics of volatile organic compound (VOC) signals measured by the Sokru device	The primary outcome are changes in VOC signals measured by the Sokru at low glucose levels (below 3.0 -3.9 mmol/L) or during the time when the blood glucose level is decreasing (from 10 and 3.9 mmol/L).	During the study procedure (approximately 5 hours)
Secondary	Volatile Organic Compound Signals	VOC signals measured by the Sokru device at different blood glucose levels	During the study procedure (approximately 5 hours)
Secondary	Blood glucose concentration	Blood glucose levels are measured with the continuous glucose measurement system and in the venous blood at the time of the appearance of VOC signal peaks or drops	During the study procedure (approximately 5 hours)
Secondary	Time of onset of subjective symptoms of hypoglycemia	Self-reported onset of subjective symptoms of hypoglycemia	During the study procedure (approximately 5 hours)
Secondary	Heart rate	Heart rate is measured with a Mindray device	During the study procedure (approximately 5 hours)
Secondary	Oxygen saturation	Oxygen saturation is measured with a Mindray device	During the study procedure (approximately 5 hours)
