Study to Explore the Effect of Dapagliflozin and Stress in Adolescent and Adult Subjects With Type 1 Diabetes (T1D)

Type 1 Diabetes is characterized by an absolute lack of insulin caused by autoimmune ß-cell destruction. Looking for different therapeutic approaches, beyond the administration of Insulin SGLT-Inhibitors (SGLT=sodium-glucose cotransporter) like Dapagliflozin look like a promising option to avoid hyperglycaemic excursions which are a reason for glycaemic variability by renal excretion of excessive glucose without administration of extra insulin. But also euglycemic DKA has been reported during SGLT2 add-on therapy to insulin in T1D and mechanistic studies have been called for. The role of Dapagliflozin-induced hyperglucagonemia and stress/infection precipitating euglycemic DKA in this situation is unclear. Thus the purpose of this pilot study is to collect clinical data on the development of DKA after insulin-withdrawal with Dapagliflozin compared to placebo and the added effect of a single dose of 4mg/kg i.v. ACTH as mediator of stress. The first objective is to investigate the time to DKA (defined as Bicarbonate <19 mmol/l) after insulin withdrawal during treatment with a stable 5 day single daily dose of 10mg Dapagliflozin in patients with type 1 Diabetes. In addition it should be evaluate the additional effect of stress, modelled by a single injection of ACTH on DKA development during Dapagliflozin Treatment. We also want to know if Dapagliflozin influences glucagon levels during insulin withdrawal and how this is associated with the time course of DKA development.

Type 1 Diabetes Meal Dosing Intervention Study

Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is a serious disease that happens because the body cannot control blood glucose (sugar) levels. People with T1D need insulin shots because their body does not make insulin. Insulin lowers blood sugar levels. When blood sugar levels are too high or too low it causes medical problems. Youth with T1D can really impact their own health if they follow their T1D treatment plan. However, even with the help of doctors, nurses, and family, most adolescents find it hard to follow their diabetes plan close enough to meet their A1C goal. It is very common for adolescents to forget to give an insulin bolus for meals. When insulin doses are missed, there is a greater chance for poor blood sugar control. When adolescents follow their diabetes plan closely, they have better blood sugar control and overall health. The purpose of this research study is to test a new tool called AIM2DOSE (Artificial Intelligence enables Meal Detection to promote insulin Dose Engagement in Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes) and COIN2DOSE (Cash-Only INcentive to promote mealtime insulin DOSE Engagement). These programs were designed to improve blood sugar control by decreasing the number of missed mealtime boluses. This will be done by asking participants to wear an Apple Watch on his/her wrist if they are in the AIM2DOSE group. The Apple Watch will use Klue software that will detect when the user is eating or drinking, then immediately send a message that reminds them to take their bolus insulin. For COIN2DOSE, we will offer the opportunity for youth to earn a bonus reimbursement during which they achieve at least 5 days of 3 mealtime insulin boluses. Finally, we will pay youth up for sharing their insulin use data at least two times per week with the study team during the three-month treatment phase.

Evaluation of an Early Screener to Identify Long-term Problems With Regard to Metabolic Control and Treatment Adherence Among Children and Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes

Background: Type 1 diabetes is one of the most common chronic illnesses among children and adolescents. Although, intensive medical care is provided for these patients, some of them have poor metabolic control. For example, only 21% of adolescents with type 1 diabetes in the USA achieve the recommended average blood sugar concentration (HbA1c<7.5%). This is a major problem, since chronic hyperglycemia is the primary cause of morbidity and mortality in type 1 diabetes and causes several serious complications, for example kidney failure, blindness, and stroke. Therefore, the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD) declared psychosocial factors, to be the most important risk factors of poor type 1 diabetes Management. Therefore, an instrument is needed to identify children and adolescents with poor metabolic control in their course of disease as soon as possible. With an early identification of such risk patients, better support can be provided. However, there is no such instrument yet for pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes. To fill this gap, a questionnaire (FEPB) based on the PAT 2.0© (Psychosocial Assessment Tool; an instrument used in oncology) was developed for this project. Aim: The aim of this project is to evaluate and validate a new instrument (FEPB) for an early identification of children and adolescents with poor metabolic control in their course of disease in a longitudinal design. Method: The sample consists of children and adolescents (age: 5-18 years), who were newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (2-4 weeks ago), and who are in care at the University Children's Hospital of Zurich. Structured interviews are conducted with the patients and the parents are asked to fill out some questionnaires at two times: first, 2-4 weeks after the diagnosis (T1) and second 6 month later (T2). With the new instrument (FEPB) a risk score can be calculated for each patient at T1. Statistical analysis will be performed to determine whether that risk score can predict which patients have poor metabolic control (HbA1c > 7.5%) at T2.
