Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18) with type 1 diabetes on insulin pump therapy who can have forearm venous sampling, read instructions, and attend three in-person visits are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

People who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have recent DKA or severe hypoglycemia, significant skin disorders at the sensor site, anemia or abnormal hematocrit, use anticoagulants, recently donated blood, or cannot attend the on-site visits are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Up to 14 adults with type 1 diabetes who use continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion will be enrolled and will make three clinic visits including a screening visit. At each sampling visit venous blood will be drawn for YSI and Randox venous plasma reference measurements and interstitial glucose and ketone readings will be obtained from the investigational sensor immediately after each blood draw. The study compares sensor readings to reference lab values to determine analytical accuracy and documents any device- or site-related safety issues. Key exclusions are recent severe hypoglycemia or DKA, significant skin disorders at the sensor site, anemia or abnormal hematocrit, recent blood donation, pregnancy/lactation, anticoagulant use, or planned MR.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If accurate and safe, the device could give people with type 1 diabetes real-time glucose and ketone information to help detect ketosis earlier and improve day-to-day management.

How similar studies have gone: Continuous glucose monitoring is well established, but real-time combined continuous glucose-and-ketone sensors are novel with limited published evidence to date.
