About this study

The subjects (Type 1 diabetes) will stay at the Clinical Research Centre for the whole period of the investigation (12 hours).

Continuous blood glucose monitoring will be performed using the IR-Glucose Reader system and/or the IR-CGM system based on microdialysis. In parallel blood glucose measurements will be performed every 15 min as reference. The measurements of the sensors will be calibrated with different schemes and the difference between the calibrated glucose readings and the reference blood glucose values will be determined.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Informed consent obtained after being advised of the nature of the study

  • The subject has Type 1 diabetes (as defined by WHO) for at least 24 months
  • Body Mass Index (BMI) <= 35 kg/m2

Exclusion criteria

  • Subject is actively enrolled in another clinical trial or took part in a study within 30 days
  • Experienced recurrent severe hypoglycaemic unawareness (as judged by the investigator)
  • A history of drug or alcohol dependence
  • Positive result for HIV antibodies
  • Positive result for Hepatitis B antigen or Hepatitis C antibodies

Primary outcomes

  1. difference between calibrated measurements and reference

    Time frame: 12 hours

    The calibrated sensor signals will be compared with the reference blood glucose values. The difference between the calibrated sensor signal and the reference values will be calculated (which corresponds to the error of the sensor signal)

Secondary outcomes

  1. evaluate necessary run-in procedures by assessment of error over time

    Time frame: 12 hours

    Once the difference between sensor signal and the reference values is calculated these values will be investigated by looking at the data over time which enables to detect a possible change of the difference.

Other outcomes

  1. Distribution of the glucose values

    Time frame: 12 hours

    The glucose sensors will be tested over a range of different reference glucose values. The distribution of the glucose values (hypo-normo-hyperglycaemia) will be taken into account when calculating the difference (error) between the sensor- and reference value.

  2. Malfunction of the systems

    Time frame: 12 hours

    Based on the fact that the sensors are in a very early development stage possible malfunctions of the sensor systems will be recorded and categorized to: mechanical, electrical, software and other malfunctions
