Glucagon Counterregulation in Type 1 Diabetes
Enhancement of Glucagon Counterregulation in Type 1 Diabetes by Basal Amylin Replacement
The purpose of this study is to find out whether the combination of insulin and pramlintide is better than insulin alone at helping the pancreas release glucagon in response to a low blood sugar episode.
A secondary goal is to assess whether basal pramlintide will delay gastric emptying.

Detailed Description
Participation in this study will require three (3) study visits over 12 weeks: one screening visit lasting 2-3 hours, and two overnight study visits at the university's Clinical Research Unit (CRU). The two overnight visits will last about 22 hours.
During the CRU admission, all subjects will wear a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) starting 2-3 days prior to the CRU admission and after having a CGM training.
Eligible subjects will be randomized to either insulin- or exercise-induced hypoglycemia group. Each subject will have two overnight CRU admissions in randomized order: Experimental (basal pramlintide + 25% reduction of basal insulin) or Control (standard basal insulin therapy) admissions. During these two admissions, the study team will deliberately induce hypoglycemia as follows:
Subjects randomized to insulin-induced hypoglycemia admission will receive an insulin bolus(s) dosed to reach blood sugar of less than 55 mg/dL.
Subjects randomized to exercise-induced hypoglycemia will participate in three 15 minute exercise bouts (45 minutes total) to lower blood sugar to less than 55 mg/dL.
After hypoglycemia induction, all subjects will receive one and the same standard meal (lunch) mixed with 1.5 g liquid acetaminophen to measure how quickly acetaminophen is absorbed to estimate the rate of gastric emptying.
The study team will collect blood samples during the hypoglycemic induction and the gastric emptying monitoring which will be analysed for levels of various substances used to address the study goals.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Insulin hypoglycemia + pramlintide
Subjects will have a 25% reduction in their standard basal insulin therapy with concurrent basal pramlintide infusion ('Basal pramlintide and reduced basal insulin').
They will receive a Lispro bolus to induce hypoglycemia of ≤55mg/dL ('Insulin-induced hypoglycemia').
After induction of hypoglycemia is completed subjects will have an acetaminophen test.
Subjects will be instructed to initiate a CGM session 2-3 days prior to both the admissions.
Blood samples will be collected during the hypoglycemic induction and acetaminophen test.
|
A study insulin pump containing pramlintide will be programmed to deliver pramlintide at 6:1 pramlintide:insulin ratio.
Simultaneously, a study insulin pump containing lispro insulin will be programmed to deliver basal lispro insulin at ~25% reduced rate from the subject's normal basal profile.
The carbohydrate ratio(s) and insulin sensitivity factor(s) will be programmed per the subject's usual home parameters.
Subjects will be instructed to initiate a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) session 2-3 days prior to both the experimental and control CRU admissions.
Consumption of a standardized meal mixed with added 1.5 g liquid acetaminophen
During insulin-induced hypoglycemia admission, subjects will receive an insulin bolus(s) dosed to reach blood sugar of less than 55 mg/dL.
|
Active Comparator: Insulin hypoglycemia
Subjects will have their standard basal insulin treatment ('Basal insulin alone') and receive a Lispro bolus to induce hypoglycemia of ≤55mg/dL ('Insulin-induced hypoglycemia').
After induction of hypoglycemia is completed subjects will have an acetaminophen test.
Subjects will be instructed to initiate a CGM session 2-3 days prior to both the admissions.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Relative glucagon counterregulation (GCR) response
Time Frame: about 19 hours
|
The primary outcome is the relative glucagon counterregulation (GCR) response, computed as the ratio between average glucagon concentration in response to insulin-induced hypoglycemia, and the pre-hypoglycemic baseline value.
The baseline glucagon level is defined as the average concentration of glucagon when the falling plasma glucose is below 100mg/dl but above the hypoglycemic threshold of 60mg/dl.
The response to hypoglycemia is the average concentration of glucagon between the hypoglycemic threshold crossing point and the time of the meal ingestion.
