NCT02135068

Brief Summary

This study is designed to look at how snacking during exercise may help prevent low blood sugars while subjects are on the "closed loop artificial pancreas." This system uses a continuous glucose sensor, an insulin pump, and a computer program that automatically determines how much insulin to give based on the sensor glucose level.

Secondary Outcomes (13)

  • Episodes of hypoglycemia (blood glucose <60mg/dL) during exercise

    75 minutes

  • Mean reduction in blood glucose during exercise

    75 minutes

  • Mean time blood glucose in target during exercise

    75 minutes

  • Mean time blood glucose levels are in target during the overnight period

    17 hours

  • Mean glucose values

    12 hours

  • +8 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

CL and exercise with proactive snacking

EXPERIMENTAL

Subject will consume oral glucose prior to starting exercise regimen while on the Medtronic MiniMed Closed Loop (CL) System

Device: Medtronic MiniMed Closed Loop (CL) SystemOther: Snacking

CL and exercise without proactive snacking

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Subject will not consume oral glucose prior to starting exercise regimen while on the Medtronic MiniMed Closed Loop (CL) System

Device: Medtronic MiniMed Closed Loop (CL) System

Interventions

The Medtronic MiniMed Closed Loop (CL) System is an investigational system that uses some commercially available products. An investigational Enlite 2 glucose sensor measures the sensor glucose. The glucose sensor signal is sent to the insulin pump. From the insulin pump the sensor glucose is sent through the translator, which then relays the signal on to a controller. An Android Mobile Device (off the shelf) has the control algorithm installed. This device is known as the controller. The controller serves as the control center for the Android system, receiving data from the sensor and pump components, feeding the data to its control algorithm, issuing delivery commands to the pump to apply the algorithm's recommend therapy, and providing a means to monitor the system.

Eligibility Criteria

Age13 Years - 44 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Age 13-45 years
  • Clinical diagnosis of T1D (formal antibody and/or genetic testing will not be required)
  • Duration of T1D ≥ 1 year
  • HbA1c ≤ 9 %
  • Treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (pump) for at least 3 months
  • Body weight \> 40 kg (to accommodate phlebotomy)
  • Able to tolerate a 75-minute exercise period of moderate intensity
  • Be willing to wear 2 subcutaneous glucose sensors (placed under the skin like a pump site) simultaneously during the inpatient portions of this study.
  • Be in good general health without other acute or chronic illness that in the judgment of the investigator could interfere with the study or jeopardize subject safety
  • Normal hematocrit
  • Able to give consent (for children \<18 years, permission from parents and subject assent will be required)
  • Female subjects of reproductive potential must be abstinent or consistently using appropriate family planning methods.

You may not qualify if:

  • Insulin resistant (defined as requiring \> 1.5 units/kg/day at time of study enrollment)
  • Presence of any medical or psychiatric disorder that may interfere with subject safety or study conduct
  • Use of any medications (besides insulin) known to effect blood glucose levels, including oral or other systemic glucocorticoid therapy. Inhaled, intranasal, or rectal corticosteroid use is allowed along as not given within 2 weeks of the closed loop admissions. Use of topical glucocorticoids is allowable as long as affected skin area does not overlap with study device sites.
  • Subjects using herbal supplements will be excluded, due to the unknown effects of these supplements on glucose control
  • History of hypoglycemic seizure within last 3 months
  • Female subjects who are pregnant, lactating, or unwilling to be tested for pregnancy
