Insulin Sensitivity, Impaired Counterregulation, and Glucose Variability (BPK005)

October 24, 2016 updated by: Sue Brown, University of Virginia
This protocol will investigate physiological parameters including insulin sensitivity and counterregulatory function using a mixed meal test and induced hypoglycemia in subjects with type I diabetes.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The principal idea of the proposed research is: in order to be successful, closed-loop control of glucose in diabetes must adapt to individual physiologic characteristics and to the behavioral profile of each person. We propose to build a system that will use observers of patients' behavior and metabolic state and control modules that are responsible for insulin delivery and hypoglycemia prevention. In this phase of the project, we will investigate relationships of insulin sensitivity and impaired counterregulation with blood glucose variability, aiming to develop algorithmic physiology observers, which will track specific parameters of glucose variability and recurrent hypoglycemia as markers of change in a person's insulin sensitivity and counterregulatory ability.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

21 years to 64 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Type I diabetes mellitus (TIDM) (as defined by the American Diabetes Association criteria or judgment of a physician) for at least two years prior to the enrollment in the study.
  • Use of an insulin pump to treat their diabetes for at least six months prior to the study.
  • Ability to use a bolus calculator function with the current insulin pump with pre-defined parameters for glucose goal, carbohydrate ratio, and insulin sensitivity factor.
  • Age 21 - 64 years. Adults age 65 and over are likely to have medical exclusions for the follow-up Phase 2 study, which involves induced hypoglycemia.
  • Completed Phase 1 of the Institutional Review Board (IRB) #14956 "Development of a Behavioral Observer for Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus"
  • Willingness to use lispro (Humalog) insulin two days prior to and during inpatient admission.
  • Willingness to perform Self-Monitoring Blood Glucose (SMBG) 4 times per day at times before meals and bedtime.
  • Demonstration of proper mental status and cognition for completion of the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnancy
  • Psychiatric disorders that would interfere with study tasks (e.g. mental retardation, substance abuse)
  • History of a systemic deep tissue infection with methicillin-resistant staph aureus or Candida albicans
  • Known bleeding diathesis or dyscrasia
  • Active enrollment in another clinical trial
  • Medical condition that would make operating an insulin pump difficult (e.g. blindness, severe arthritis, extensive scar tissue at sites where devices are inserted).
  • Anemia (hematocrit <36% [females], <38% [males]),
  • Allergy or adverse reaction to lispro (Humalog) insulin
  • Conditions which may increase the risk of induced hypoglycemia such as symptomatic heart disease, congestive heart failure, history of a cerebrovascular event, atrial fibrillation, renal insufficiency (creatinine >1.5) or uncontrolled hypertension (resting blood pressure >140/90).

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Insulin Sensitivity
Single arm. Each subject will consume a mixed meal beverage along with insulin administration in order to calculate insulin sensitivity.
Dietary supplement: Mixed meal and insulin challenge
The subject will undergo a mixed meal and insulin challenge as follows: an insulin bolus will be administered and a mixed meal nutrition drink will be consumed over 1-5 minutes. The mixed meal nutrition drink will be selected for that individual to be most likely to raise the glucose levels by 100mg/dl and then return to baseline within a four-hour time period. The nutrition drink will selected from the following types of product lines: Boost products (Nestle Nutrition), Ensure products (Abbott Nutrition), Carnation Instant Breakfast (Nestle Nutrition) or Glucerna (Abbott Nutrition).The pre-meal insulin bolus will be calculated to bring the subject to ~100mg/dl at 1100.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Insulin Sensitivity
Time Frame: 24 hours
Measure insulin sensitivity following a mixed meal across admissions. Insulin sensitivity was measured based on the minimal model of glucose kinetics using plasma glucose and insulin obtained frequently (approximately every 5-15 minutes) in response to mixed meal challenge.
