Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Capillary and venous glucose responses will be measured one hour and two hours after a buffet breakfast, the content of which is selected by participants. Total period of observation is two hours.
Intervention code [1] 288051 0
Not applicable
Comparator / control treatment
Within participant comparison of basal (fasting) [capillary-venous] glucose gradient, with the post prandial [capillary-venous] glucose gradient.
Control group
Uncontrolled

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 290625 0
[Capillary -venous] glucose gradient, at the two hour post prandial time point. Duplicate capillary and venous glucose measurements will be assessed using two meter/strip systems with differing enzyme systems, namely the Nova StatStrip and the Accu-chek Performa. Venous plasma glucose will also undergo rapid plasma separation using a PST tube, followed by laboratory measurement using the hexakinase method and this venous value will be used as an ancillary measure of [capillary-venous] difference.
Timepoint [1] 290625 0
Two hours
Secondary outcome [1] 304926 0
[Capillary -venous] glucose gradient, at the one hour post prandial time point. Assessment of glucose is otherwise identical to that of the primary outcome (StatStrip and Performa glucose meters used to measure both capillary and venous samples,with a further check of venous glucose, undertaken by measuring plasma glucose in the laboratory).
Timepoint [1] 304926 0

Statistical methods / analysis
Previous studies in healthy volunteers suggest that a minimum number to detect a significant [capillary - venous] glucose gradient is around 12 participants. It is anticipated that this gradient will be attenuated in the present of diabetes, hence the larger number of participants. The primary outcome is descriptive, however if a gradient is found, this will be correlated with a) breakfast insulin dose (u/kg) b) macronutrient intake of meal (breakfast) c) baseline glucose and d) percentage body fat.

Summary
Brief summary
In healthy volunteers, tissue uptake of glucose after a meal results in a glucose gradient between the capillary blood at the finger and venous blood at the level of the antecubital fossa. We hypothesise that a similar [capillary-glucose] gradient exists in type 1 diabetes patients. If it does, this has implications for calibration of continuous glucose monitors. It also has implications when considering capillary and venous samples to be bio-equivalent when defining hypoglycaemic events, for example during pharmaceutical trials in participants with type 1 diabetes.
