Effect of Apidra Compared to Humalog in Decreasing Post-Prandial Hyperglycemia

September 12, 2013 updated by: University of Florida

Comparison of Effectiveness of Glulisine and Lispro in Decreasing Post-Prandial Hyperglycemia in a Real-World Setting

This study aims to compare the post-meal blood glucose values of two drugs in a "real-world" setting.

Conditions

Detailed Description

This is a randomized, open-label trial that aims to compare the glycemic excursion following food intake following post-meal injection of Glulisine (Apidra) insulin and Lispro (Humalog) insulin in a real-world setting. Children participating in the Florida Camp for Children and Youth with Diabetes will be randomized to receive either Glulisine or Apidra to cover carbohydrates after meals. The difference in blood glucose values will be analyzed before and 2 hours after meals to see if there is a difference in post-prandial hyperglycemia between groups.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The Difference Between Pre- and 120 Minute Post-prandial Blood Glucose Concentrations at Lunch.
Time Frame: averaged over 5 days

Blood glucose concentrations were measured prior to and 90 minutes following lunch. Analysis was based on intention to treat. While missing data was imputed, it was known that this data was 'not missing at random' thus violating standard statistical assumptions with imputation. Therefore imputed data was not included in the final model.

The number of participants for analysis was based upon a convenience sample of individuals attending Florida Camp for Children and Youth with Diabetes at Camp Winona.

averaged over 5 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Difference Between Pre- and 120 Minute Post-prandial Blood Glucose Concentrations at Dinner
Time Frame: averaged over 5 days
Blood glucose concentrations were measured prior to and 120 minutes following dinner. Analysis was based on intention to treat. While missing data was imputed, it was known that this data was 'not missing at random' thus violating standard statistical assumptions with imputation. Therefore imputed data was not included in the final model.
averaged over 5 days
Difference Between Pre- and 120 Minute Post-prandial Blood Glucose Concentrations at Breakfast
Time Frame: averaged over 5 days
Blood glucose concentrations were measured prior to and 120 minutes following breakfast. Analysis was based on intention to treat. While missing data was imputed, it was known that this data was 'not missing at random' thus violating standard statistical assumptions with imputation. Therefore imputed data was not included in the final model.
