NCT02671968

Brief Summary

Demonstrate that usage of RT-CGM (Real time continuous glucose monitoring) reduces the frequency of low CGM-recorded glucose events in patients using MDI (Multiple daily injections) that are at risk for hypoglycemic events.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in the total number of low glucose events (<55 mg/dl), between baseline and outcome phase (week 22-26) in CGM group and control group (change = subtracting number of follow up events from number of baseline events

    For each subject, the experimental phase has an expected duration of up to 7 months

Study Arms (2)

CGM group

EXPERIMENTAL
Device: Continuous Glucose Monitoring System

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with type 1 diabetes for at least 12 months on multiple daily injections (MDI). MDI is defined as prandial insulin injections at each major meal (excludes pre-mixed insulin) with doses determined by SMBG and carbohydrate counting, and basal insulin injection(s)
  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • HbA1c ≤ 9.0 % performed within 4 months before begin of the study
  • High risk for severe hypoglycemia (defined as a score of 4 or higher on the Hypoglycemia unawareness scale (HUS) or a history of at least one severe hypoglycemic event in the last 12 months (required third part assistance, not able to treat themselves))
  • Willing to not use paracetamol or drugs containing it
  • Signed and dated Informed Consent Form

You may not qualify if:

  • Use of personal real-time-CGM 3 months prior to study entry and during the study (except study devices)
  • Use of a flash-glucose monitoring system 3 months prior to study and during the study
  • Alcoholism or drug abuse
  • Unable to comply with the protocol at the investigators discretion, such as known psychiatric diagnosis, cognitive / physical decline
  • Pregnancy or lactation period
  • Severe known allergies, e.g. against plaster
  • Mental incapacity or language barriers precluding adequate compliance with the study procedures
  • Limited or no legal capacity or legal guardianship
  • Dependency from the sponsor or the clinical investigator (e.g. co-workers of the sponsor or the clinical research center or their families)
  • Participation in another study at the same time with a non-approved drug or a non-CE-labelled medical device.
