Changes of the Infusion Rate in Insulin Pump Treatment

June 30, 2009 updated by: Aarhus University Hospital

Changes of the Infusion Rate in Insulin Pump Treatment. A Randomized, Unblinded Cross-Over Study.

A pharmacokinetic study of insulin pump treatment using Insulin Aspart. The study consist of three different periods A, B and C where a constant the insulin infusion rate is given during the periods. In period B and C will the infusion start with a bolus.

It will be investigated if a steady state of insulin will be obtained faster in period B and C then A.

Detailed Description

A pharmacokinetic study of insulin pump treatment using Insulin Aspart. The study consist of three different periods A, B and C where a constant the insulin infusion rate is given during the periods. Each period will last 12 hours and blood will be drawn to measure absorbed Insulin Aspart. During period A will a constant the infusion rate of insulin be given. In period B and C will there at the start of the constant infusion rate be given a bolus. The bolus in period C is calculated on the basis of the results in period B, therefore will all participants experience period C last where as period A and B is randomized cross-over. Period C is written in the protocol as optional and it is evaluated after period A and B if period C will be performed.

The hypothesis is that steady state of insulin will be obtained faster in period B and C than A.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: A, CSII without bolus
Period A: A constant subcutaneous infusion rate of insulin aspart (0.5 U/hr) is given for 8 hours. Following 3 hours of blood sampling.

A; CSII without bolus: 8 hours of constant insulin infusion. B; CSII with bolus: 8 hours of a constant insulin infusion starting with a s.c. bolus.

C; CSII with bolus, optional: 8 hours of a constant insulin infusion starting with a different bolus than period B. This period is optional and it will be evaluated after period A and B if period C is conducted.

Other Names:
  • Insulin Aspart/NovoRapid
Other: B; CSII with bolus
Period B: A constant subcutaneous infusion of insulin aspart (0.5 U/hr) is given for 8 hours and upon start a s.c.bolus (1.4 U)of insulin aspart is given. Hereafter follows 3 hours of blood sampling.

A; CSII without bolus: 8 hours of constant insulin infusion. B; CSII with bolus: 8 hours of a constant insulin infusion starting with a s.c. bolus.

C; CSII with bolus, optional: 8 hours of a constant insulin infusion starting with a different bolus than period B. This period is optional and it will be evaluated after period A and B if period C is conducted.

Other Names:
  • Insulin Aspart/NovoRapid
Other: C; CSII with bolus, optional
A constant subcutaneous insulin aspart infusion is given for 8 hours and upon start a bolus of insulin aspart is given. The bolus in arm C is of a different size then arm B. After the 8 hours of constant infusion follows 3 hours of blood sampling. Period C are optional and it is evaluated if it will be conducted after period A and B has been performed.

A; CSII without bolus: 8 hours of constant insulin infusion. B; CSII with bolus: 8 hours of a constant insulin infusion starting with a s.c. bolus.

C; CSII with bolus, optional: 8 hours of a constant insulin infusion starting with a different bolus than period B. This period is optional and it will be evaluated after period A and B if period C is conducted.

Other Names:
  • Insulin Aspart/NovoRapid
