Glucagon and Advanced HCL System to Prevent Exercise-Induced Hypoglycaemia in People With Type 1 Diabetes

The primary aim of the study is to evaluate the glucose response to low-dose glucagon (single 150 µg dose) administered immediately before aerobic exercise in individuals with AHCL-treated T1D.

About this study

The study consists of a screening visit (visit A) and two additional study visits (visit B and visit C) completed in a sequential order. During study visit B participants will receive s.c. administration of 150 ug glucagon prior to a 45-min moderate intensity continuous exercise session and subsequently continue into a 1-hour post-exercise observation period. During study visit C the exact same procedures will be followed with the omission of glucagon.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

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

Inclusion criteria

  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Type 1 diabetes ≥ 2 years
  • Use of AHCL system MiniMed 780G ≥ 4 weeks
  • Use of Novorapid for ≥ 1 week

Exclusion criteria

  • Allergies to lactose or glucagon
  • Known or suspected allergies to glucagon or related products
  • History of hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to glucagon or lactose
  • Patients with diagnosed pheochromocytoma, insulinoma or gastroparesis
  • Concomitant medical or psychological conditions identified through review of medical history, physical examination and clinical laboratory analysis that, according to the investigator's assessment, makes the individual unsuitable for study participation
  • Lack of compliance with key study procedures at the discretion of the investigator
  • Females of childbearing potential who are pregnant, breast-feeding or intend to become pregnant or are not using adequate contraceptive methods (methods are considered adequate for study enrolment for females: an intrauterine device, hormonal contraception (birth control pills, implant, patch, vaginal ring or injection), a single partner who is sterile or infertile, or sexual abstinence. Contraception is required throughout the study duration. Sterilized or postmenopausal women (>12 months since last period) are not required to use contraception)
  • Inability to understand the individual information and to give informed consent

Treatment and study plan

GlucaGen

Drug

150 ug glucagon will be administered to the participants before exercise.

Other names: Glucagon, GlucaGen®, Novo Nordisk, ATC code H04AA01

Primary outcomes

  1. Difference in Percentage of Time in Target Glucose Range (PG: 3.9 - 10.0 mmol/l) During and for 1-hour After Dynamic Physical Exercise Between Visit B and C

    Time frame: 0 min to +105 min

    This outcome measure evaluates the difference in the percentage of time participants spend within a specified glucose target range over a defined monitoring period. The measure aims to assess improvements or changes in glycemic control resulting from the intervention under study.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Difference in Incidence Rate of Hypoglycaemic Events (PG<3.9 mmol/l) Between Visit B and C

    Time frame: 0 min to +105 min

    This outcome measure assesses the frequency of hypoglycemic events experienced by participants over a specified monitoring period.

  2. Difference in Time (Min) to Hypoglycaemia (PG<3.9 mmol/l) Between Visit B and C

    Time frame: 0 min to +105 min

    This outcome measure evaluates the time (in minutes) taken to reach hypoglycemia during a specified monitoring period or following a specific intervention.

  3. Difference in Percentage of Time Below Target Glucose Range (PG<3.9 mmol/l) Between Visit B and C

    Time frame: 0 min to +105 min

    This outcome measure evaluates the difference in the percentage of time participants spend within a specified glucose target range over a defined monitoring period. The measure aims to assess improvements or changes in glycemic control resulting from the intervention under study.

  4. Difference in Percentage of Time Above Target Glucose Range (PG>10.0 mmol/l) Between Visit B and C

    Time frame: 0 min to +105 min

    This outcome measure evaluates the difference in the percentage of time participants spend within a specified glucose target range over a defined monitoring period. The measure aims to assess improvements or changes in glycemic control resulting from the intervention under study.

  5. Difference in Incidence Rate of Hyperglycaemia (PG>10.0 mmol/l) Between Visit B and C

    Time frame: 0 min to +105 min

    This outcome measure assesses the incidence rate of hyperglycemia during a specified monitoring period.

  6. Difference in Nadir PG Concentration Between Visit B and C

    Time frame: 0 min to +105 min

    This outcome measure assesses the difference in the lowest value of plasma glucose during a specified monitoring period.

  7. Difference in Peak PG Concentration Between Visit B and C

    Time frame: 0 min to +105 min

    This outcome measure assesses the difference in peak plasma glucose during a specified monitoring period.

  8. Difference in Incremental Peak PG Concentration Between Visit B and C

    Time frame: 0 min to +105 min

    This outcome measure assesses the difference in incremental peak of plasma glucose during a specified monitoring period.

  9. Difference in Mean PG Concentration Between Visit B and C

    Time frame: 0 min to +105 min

    This outcome measure assesses the difference in mean plasma glucose during a specified monitoring period.

  10. Difference in PG Area Under the Curve (AUC) Between Visit B and C

    Time frame: 0 min to +105 min

    This outcome measure assesses the difference in plasma glucose AUC during a specified monitoring period.

  11. Difference in Standard Deviation in PG Concentrations Between Visit B and C

    Time frame: 0 min to +105 min

    This outcome measure assesses the difference in SD plasma glucose during a specified monitoring period.

  12. Difference in Coefficient of Variation in PG Concentrations Between Visit B and C

    Time frame: 0 min to +105 min

    This outcome measure assesses the difference in CV in plasma glucose during a specified monitoring period.
