Insulin Glulisine and Aspart in Postprandial Glycemic Control After High-GI Meal in Children With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

October 6, 2014 updated by: Medical University of Warsaw

The Impact Of Insulin Glulisine In Comparison With Aspart On Postprandial Glycemia After The High-Glycemic Index Meal In Children With Type 1 Diabetes - Cross-Over Double-Blind, Randomized Clinical Trial.

The aim of this study is to determine whether insulin glulisine is more effective in postprandial glycemic control than insulin aspart after the H-GI meal in children with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) treated with insulin pump (CSII).

Study Overview

Status

Completed

Detailed Description

Some studies have suggested that insulin glulisine (GLU) has a slightly faster onset of action compared with insulin aspart (ASP). Meals of high glycemic index (H-GI) have distinct effect on postprandial glycaemia (PPG).

  • Masking: QUADRUPLE

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: GLU_ASP

Pre-breakfast insulin was given as a standard bolus 15 minutes before the high-glycemic index meal (cornflakes and milk). The carbo-insulin ratio on both study days was identical to the patient's ratio when entering trial.

First day: insulin glulisine

Second day: insulin aspart

Other Names:
  • NovoRapid®
