Feasibility Study to Determine the Optimal Calibration Method for Glucose Sensors (REACT4SENSOR)

Medical University of Graz

Status: Completed

Conditions: Diabetes

Treatments: Drug: Insulin dosing; Device: Glucose sensors IR-Glucose Reader (Joanneum Research, Austria), IR-CGM (IMM, Germany)

Study type: Interventional

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT02155023

REACTforSENSOR

Details and patient eligibility

About

Two new glucose sensors (IR-Glucose Reader (Joanneum Research, Austria), IR-CGM (IMM, Germany)) will be investigated to determine the optimal calibration method in patients with type 1 diabetes

Full description

The subjects (Type 1 diabetes) will stay at the Clinical Research Centre for the whole period of the investigation (12 hours).

Continuous blood glucose monitoring will be performed using the IR-Glucose Reader system and/or the IR-CGM system based on microdialysis. In parallel blood glucose measurements will be performed every 15 min as reference. The measurements of the sensors will be calibrated with different schemes and the difference between the calibrated glucose readings and the reference blood glucose values will be determined.

Enrollment: 8 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 75 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Insulin dosing and glucose sensors

Experimental group

Description:

To test the glucose sensors different levels of glycemia are needed. To provoke different glycemic levels the following intervention will be performed: Lunch (with fast glucose absorption characteristics) will be served. Up to 30 minutes after the usual insulin dosing time, the subjects will take his/her lunch dose of insulin adjusted to the chosen lunch plus additional approximately 25% (in the range of 0-50% according to the discretion of the Investigator) of insulin - in order to provoke moderate postprandial hypoglycaemia with glucose values \< 70 mg/dl.

Treatment:

Drug: Insulin dosing

Device: Glucose sensors IR-Glucose Reader (Joanneum Research, Austria), IR-CGM (IMM, Germany)
