MEtabolic and Renal Effects of AutoMAted Insulin Delivery Systems in Youth With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

In type 1 diabetes (T1DM), automated insulin delivery (AID) systems such as the hybrid closed loop artificial pancreas (HCL AP) combine the use of an insulin pump, continuous blood sugar monitor, and control algorithm to adjust background insulin delivery to improve time in target blood sugar range. Systems such as the predictive low glucose suspend system (PLGS) pause insulin delivery to try and reduce low blood sugars. We aim to complete a pilot study involving recruitment of youth ages 7 to 18 years from the following groups with type 1 diabetes: control participants consisting of youth on either multiple daily insulin injections or conventional insulin pump therapy that plan to continue with their current treatment modality, youth being transitioned to the HCL AP system, and youth being transitioned to the PLGS system. Individuals will be recruited into each of the aforementioned study groups based on their own expressed desire to either continue on MDI/standard insulin pump therapy or transition to either the HCL AP or PLGS systems. The decision to either continue with current therapy or transition therapy will remain entirely up to the participant and their family and will be based on personal preference and insurance coverage for that individual. We will not be randomizing the participants to any given treatment group during this study but rather will be recruiting based on the participant's decision. We would like to complete a physical exam with pubertal staging, collect blood and urine samples to evaluate cardiometabolic and renal markers, and complete a DXA scan to evaluate total lean and fat mass. After 3-6 months of either continuation of current treatment with either multiple daily insulin injections or conventional insulin pump therapy or transitioning to the HCL AP or PLGS systems, we would like to repeat the previously described blood, urine, and imaging tests for comparison. We are interested in examining the impact of the HCL AP and PLGS systems on maintaining blood sugars in target range, insulin sensitivity, and markers of cardiometabolic and renal function. We hypothesize that pauses in insulin delivery, as seen in the setting of automated insulin delivery systems, will result in improvements in insulin sensitivity, cardiometabolic markers, and renal function markers.

Flash-glucose Monitoring in Sub-optimally Controlled Type 1 Diabetes (FLASH-UK)

FreeStyle Libre (FSL) is a novel glucose monitoring device (Flash glucose monitoring) in the form of a disc worn on the arm for 14 days, and a hand-held reader which is designed to largely replace the recommended 4-10 painful finger-stick blood glucose tests required each day for the self-management of type 1 diabetes. The purpose of this study is to determine whether flash glucose monitoring with FSL device will improve HbA1c over 24 weeks compared to self-monitoring of blood glucose in adults and adolescents (16 or older) with sub-optimally controlled (HbA1c 7.5% to 11%) type 1 diabetes. This is an open-label, multi-centre, randomised, parallel design study, involving a 2-week run-in period, followed by a 24-week study period during which participants will use either FSL or continue usual finger-stick glucose monitoring in random order. A total of up to 160 participants (aiming for 128 completed participants) aged 16 years and older with T1D on insulin pump therapy or multiple daily injection therapy will be recruited through diabetes clinics in participating centres. Participants will receive appropriate training to maximise the benefits of FSL and finger-stick glucose levels in self-management. The primary outcome is the difference in HbA1c between the two groups at 24 weeks. Secondary outcomes are time spent with glucose levels above and below target, as recorded by FSL, and other flash glucose-based metrics. Impact on quality of life, diabetes distress, mood, needle burden, disordered eating and treatment satisfaction will also be undertaken. Relative cost-effectiveness of FSL device compared with self-monitoring will also be assessed from a UK NHS perspective.

A Study to Look at the Safety of NNC0363-0845 in Healthy People and People With Type 1 Diabetes

This study is investigating the safety and tolerability of the new investigational product NNC0363-0845, its concentrations in the blood and its effect on the blood sugar for the treatment of diabetes. The study consists of 3 parts. The first part of the study is conducted in healthy people, while the second part involves people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Part 3 of this trial involves also people with T1D. The study will test how NNC0363-0845 is tolerated by the body, how it is taken up in the blood, how long it stays there and how much the blood sugar is lowered. Healthy volunteers will either get NNC0363-0845 or placebo - which treatment is decided by chance. Participants with type 1 diabetes will either get NNC0363-0845 or insulin degludec (Tresiba®), also decided by chance. It is the first time that NNC0363-0845 is tested in humans. Participants will get one dose of NNC0363-0845 or placebo or insulin degludec injected into their left thigh. Participation in the study will last for up to 6 weeks. There will be one Informed Consent visit and 6 clinic visits with the study doctor. Healthy volunteers will have blood sampling to measure blood sugar and the concentration of the investigational product in the blood. Participants with type 1 diabetes will have a clamp experiment where the blood sugar is measured and controlled for up to 42 hours. For Part 3, the total duration of the trial for each individual is expected to be approximately 3-9 weeks. Participants cannot be in the study if the study doctor thinks that there are risks for their health. Women can only take part in the study if they are of non-child bearing potential.

Assess the Impact of Insulclock on Glycemic Variability and Treatment Compliance in Uncontrolled DM1 Patients

Insulclock® is a small electronic device developed to facilitate the optimal administration of insulin. This device works as an add-on module of commercially available insulin pens and monitors the date, time and dose of injections, the type of insulin injected, the duration of injections and insulin temperature. The Insulclock 360 app allows automatic data logging, report generation and reminder setting, among other functions. In this study, we pretend to show the clinical impact of Insulclock system, both device and mobile application, on glycemic indices, treatment compliance, and quality of life in patients with persistent poorly controlled T1DM. Material and methods: Randomized open-label multicenter controlled trial to evaluate glycemic control, the number of missed and delayed insulin doses, and quality of life after seven weeks of Insulclock 360 use in participants with uncontrolled DM1. We will also compare these results between patients with or without receiving system reminders and alerts. This study aims to assess the effect of Insulclock on glycemic control, treatment adherence, and quality of life. As a secondary objective, we will compare the study outcomes between participants in the Active and Masked Insulclock groups (i.e., with or without receiving alerts and reminders and accessing the app). To assess glycemic control, we will measure HbA1C and glycemic indices. Glycemic variability indices will be monitored with the FreeStyle Libre™ and included glucose coefficient of variation (CV), standard deviation (SD), time in range (TIR), time above range (TAR), and time below range (TBR). Mean glucose levels will be obtained from 48-h time intervals with the FreeStyle Libre. A late meal bolus (mistimed) will be considered when Insulclock detects the injection at least 30 minutes after the CGM rise. To identify meal glucose excursions, we will use the Glucose Rate Increase Detector (GRID) algorithm, which estimates the rate of change (ROC) of glucose from CGM data. Participants will complete the ITSQ and the DTSQ, which are validated questionnaires to assess the diabetes treatment satisfaction.
