Effect of Fasting on Hypoglycemic Counterregulation in Type 1 Diabetes

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Iatrogenic hypoglycemia is still considered to be the number one barrier to effective glycemic control in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). In a previous study, it was observed in people without diabetes that fasting can be detrimental to the hormonal and hepatic responses to insulin-induced hypoglycemia. In the experiments described herein, the impact fasting has on hypoglycemic counterregulation in people with T1D will be determined.

Clinical Trial Description

Because patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are required to estimate and administer their own insulin requirements, they frequently overestimate their needs. This often leads to debilitating insulin-induced hypoglycemia, which is the number one barrier to the safe, effective management of glycemia in this population. In addition to the difficulty estimating one's own insulin requirements after a meal, counterregulatory hormone responses to hypoglycemia are impaired in patients with T1D, thereby reducing hepatic glucose production (HGP) and increasing the depth and duration of the hypoglycemic episode. The discovery of ways by which counterregulatory responses to hypoglycemia can be improved in people with T1D is a priority. In previous experiments, it was observed that fasting reduces counterregulatory hormone secretion in healthy humans during insulin-induced hypoglycemia, thereby reducing hepatic glucose production (HGP). Therefore, the studies proposed herein will determine the effect of fasting on hypoglycemic counterregulation in people with T1D. It is hypothesized that fasting will diminish the hormonal and hepatic responses to insulin-induced hypoglycemia. Each subject will undergo two trials; one where they eat an isocaloric breakfast and lunch prior to an insulin-induced hypoglycemic challenge and a second one during which they remain fasted prior to the hypoglycemic challenge. This study design will allow assessment of the relationship between fasting and the counterregulatory responses to insulin-induced hypoglycemia in a population that is particularly vulnerable to low blood sugar. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
