Evaluating the accuracy of home lactate meters in patients with Glycogen Storage Disease Type Ia

Are Portable Lactate Monitoring Devices Accurate in Patients With Glycogen Storage Disease Ia When Compared to Blood Serum Lactates?

Connecticut Children's Medical Center · NCT06843330

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the accuracy of home lactate meters, both capillary and serum samples, in patients diagnosed with Glycogen Storage Disease Type Ia. It will compare the readings from these home devices to lab serum lactate measurements to determine if they are within 20% accuracy 95% of the time. Additionally, the study will evaluate the accuracy of the Accu Chek Guide glucometer for capillary blood glucose readings against lab serum glucose levels in the same patient population.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients diagnosed with Glycogen Storage Disease Type Ia who are receiving care at Connecticut Children's Medical Center.

Not a fit: Patients with unspecified Glycogen Storage Disease or those with Glycogen Storage Disease Type Ib will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enable patients to monitor their lactate and glucose levels more accurately at home, improving disease management.

How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies on lactate meter accuracy in other conditions, this specific approach in Glycogen Storage Disease Type Ia is novel.
