ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new device called a Continuous Ketone Monitoring (CKM) system to see how well it works for people with type 1 diabetes who use insulin pumps. Over 14 days, participants will wear the CKM system and follow specific diets while the researchers compare its accuracy to the traditional method of checking ketone levels with a fingertip blood test. The main goal is to find out if the CKM system can measure ketones just as accurately as the standard tests.

To be eligible for the trial, participants need to be at least 18 years old and have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes for at least a year. They should have been using an insulin pump and a continuous glucose monitor for the past month. Participants will need to use a smartphone that meets certain requirements for the study app. While taking part in the trial, participants can expect to follow two special diets and be monitored closely. It's important to know that some individuals, such as those currently on specific medications or with recent serious health issues, may not qualify for the study.

Eligibility criteria

  • Inclusion Criteria:
  • 1. Adults ≥ 18 years of age.
  • 2. A clinical diagnosis of type 1 diabetes (T1D) for at least one year, as per their treating diabetes physician in agreement with the primary investigator's clinical judgment (confirmatory C-peptide and antibodies will not be required).
  • 3. On stable, commercial closed-loop pump therapy for the past 30 days.
  • 4. Stable use of continuous glucose monitor system for the past 30 days.
  • 5. Cellular phone with Android OS operating system 8.1 and above or iOS11 and above operating system, for data compatibility with continuous ketone monitor mobile app (SiCKM app).
  • 6. Able to perform study related tasks.
  • Exclusion Criteria:
  • 1. Current or ≤ 2 weeks use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor medication (e.g. empagliflozin).
  • 2. Current use of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) as it may impair accuracy of the sensor.
  • 3. Severe hypoglycemic episode within one month of admission, defined as an event where glucose was \<4 mmol/L resulting in seizure, loss of consciousness, needing third party assistance, or need to present to the emergency department.
  • 4. Diabetic ketoacidosis episode requiring medical attention or intravenous insulin within one month.
  • 5. Planned or ongoing pregnancy or breastfeeding individuals.
  • 6. Any serious medical or psychiatric illness likely to interfere with ability to complete the trial, as per judgement of investigators.
