Filter by:The investigators propose to conduct a study of practices to describe the methods of managing glycemic control in hospitalized patients in critical care. This is a prospective multicenter observational study conducted in Intensive Medicine and Resuscitation departments in France and Belgium. The aim of this study is to carry out an inventory of the current practices of glycemia management as well as their modalities. Being one of the key points of the management, this work will have for main objective to raise the importance of the glycemic variabilities according to the methods of insulin therapies used.
Almost all people who have had type 1 diabetes for 5 years have a defect in secretion of the hormone Glucagon. This hormone is involved in the body's response to low blood glucose (hypoglycaemia). It works by releasing glucose stores from the liver to bring the blood glucose back to normal. This defect therefore increases the risk of severe hypoglycaemia. The reason for this Glucagon defect in people with Type 1 diabetes is currently unknown. This study aims to look at the Glucagon response to hypoglycaemia in 24 people with type 1 diabetes to ascertain whether tight blood glucose control over a period of time improves this response. The investigators aim to achieve good blood glucose control using new generation Automated Insulin Delivery systems (AIDs). This system is made of: an insulin pump, a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and an algorithm that allows adjustment of insulin delivery based on the blood glucose readings from the CGM. This is the most up to date technology that there is in the management of type 1 diabetes. However, people using this technology often still have problems with high blood glucose after eating. To ensure a very good blood glucose control participants will also follow a low carbohydrate diet to prevent this blood glucose rise after meals. The Glucagon response to low blood glucose will be measured at zero and eight months using the hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemic clamp technique.

According to the Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes by the American Diabetes Association, people with diabetes should aim for 30 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity aerobic exercise at least 5 days a week or a total of 150 minutes per week and doing some type of strength training at least 2 times per week in addition to aerobic activity. However, the effects of different forms and intervals of exercise on glycemic control are not well established. Exercise increases the risk of hypoglycemia both during and several hours after exercise. There are several strategies to avoid hypoglycemia during exercise. The most common strategy is to reduce insulin and to take carbohydrates before the exercise starts. Short-acting insulin analogs have a duration of approximately four hours, thus reductions need to be planned and done well in advance before the exercise starts. Since different types of exercise (aerobic, strength training or high intensity training) affect blood glucose in different ways and most exercise sessions include a combination of the types, these strategies are often associated with difficulties in obtaining stable blood glucose. The American Diabetes Association guidelines do not explicitly recommend a daily workout routine but outline recommendations for weekly amounts of exercise as there is currently insufficient evidence on the ideal timing, frequency and duration of exercise for preventing hypoglycemia. Hypothesis: in people with type 1 diabetes, time in hypoglycemia can be reduced if exercise is performed daily over five consecutive days compared to the same total amount of exercise performed at 2 days with at least 2 days interval. Aim: to evaluate the impact of the same total amount of exercise split into either five consecutive sessions or two sessions with at least 2 days in between on percentage of time spent in hypoglycemia and other glycemic parameters in people with type 1 diabetes.
This is a multi-center, randomized, controlled, single-blind, two-way crossover efficacy and safety study in subjects with Type 1 diabetes mellitus. The study involves two daytime clinical research center (CRC) visits with random assignment to receive G-Pen glucagon 1 mg during one period and Novo Glucagon 1 mg during the other. Each daytime visit is preceded by an overnight stay in the CRC. In the morning of the inpatient study visit, the subject is brought into a state of severe hypoglycemia through IV administration of regular insulin diluted in normal saline. After a hypoglycemic state with plasma glucose < 54 mg/dL (3 mmol/L) is verified, the subject is administered a dose of G-Pen or Novo Glucagon via subcutaneous injection. Plasma glucose levels are monitored for up to 180 minutes post-dosing, with a value of >70.0 mg/dL (3.89 mmol/L) or an increase of > 20 mg/dL (>1.11 mmol/L) within 30 minutes of glucagon administration indicating a positive response. After 3 hours, the subject is given a meal and discharged when medically stable. After a wash-out period of 7 to 28 days, subjects return to the CRC, and the procedures are repeated with each subject crossed over to the other treatment. A follow-up visit as a safety check is conducted 2-7 days following administration of the final dose of study drug.
This is a non-inferiority, multi-center, randomized, controlled, single-blind, two-way crossover efficacy and safety study in subjects with Type 1 diabetes mellitus. The study involves two daytime clinical research center (CRC) visits with random assignment to receive G-Pen™ glucagon 1 mg during one period and Lilly Glucagon 1 mg during the other. Each daytime visit is preceded by an overnight stay in the CRC. In the morning of the inpatient study visit, the subject is brought into a state of hypoglycemia through IV administration of regular insulin diluted in normal saline. After a hypoglycemic state with plasma glucose < 50 mg/dL is verified, the subject is administered a dose of G-Pen or Lilly Glucagon via subcutaneous injection. Plasma glucose levels are monitored for up to 180 minutes post-dosing, with a value of >70.0 mg/dL within 30 minutes of glucagon administration indicating a positive response. After 3 hours, the subject is given a meal and discharged when medically stable. After a wash-out period of 7 to 28 days, subjects return to the CRC, and the procedure are repeated with each subject crossed over to the other treatment. A follow-up visit as a safety check is conducted 2-7 days following administration of the final dose of study drug.
This is a 24-week, open-label, randomized, multi-center trial conducted in three tertiary hospitals. There are three follow-up measures; at baseline, post-intervention at Week 12, and Week 24. Subjects are diagnosed as type 1 DM, type 2 DM, and/or post-transplant DM, and initiate or currently use insulin therapy. After the given education on insulin dose titration and prevention for hypoglycemia and 1 week of run-in period, subjects are randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either the ICT-based intervention group or the conventional intervention group. Subjects in conventional intervention group will save and send their health information to the server via the PHR app, whereas those in ICT-based intervention group have additional algorithm-based feedback messages. The health information includes levels of blood glucose, insulin dose, details on hypoglycemia, food diary, and number of steps. The primary outcome will be the proportion of patients who reach an optimal insulin dose within 12 weeks of enrolling in the study without severe hypoglycemia or unscheduled clinic visits. This study is based upon work supported by the Ministry of Trade, Industry & Energy (MOTIE, Korea) under Industrial Technology Innovation Program (No. 10059066, 'Establishment of ICT Clinical Trial System and Foundation for Industrialization.")
