PACTAID App in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes to Help Manage Exercise

The purpose of this trial is to test and refine the PACTAID smart phone application in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus to help manage exercise while on automated insulin delivery systems with the goal of improving glycemic control during and after exercise as well as improving multiple other cardiovascular risk factors.

About this study

This trial will be conducted in two phases. In Phase 1, we will test the PACTAID app in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus to help manage exercise while on an automated insulin delivery system for four weeks. In phase 2, we will use a refined version of the PACTAID app in those same adults from phase 1 for four weeks. A 2-4-week period will be between phase 1 and phase 2 in which the app will be refined. There is one clinical site, Mayo Clinic, and two sites creating the app, Arizona State University and University of Houston. The study will enroll up to 8 subjects at Mayo Clinic.

Treatment and study plan

PACTAID App

Device

The PACTAID app will provide real time decision support during exercise for patients with type 1 diabetes.

Primary outcomes

  1. Mean CGM glucose (mg/dL)

    Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks

    Change in mean CGM glucose (mg/dL)

  2. CGM glucose SD (mg/dL)

    Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks

    Change in CGM glucose SD (mg/dL)

  3. Glucose coefficient of variation (%)

    Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks

    Change in glucose coefficient of variation (%)

  4. CGM TIR (70-180mg/dL)

    Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks

    Change in CGM TIR (70-180mg/dL)

  5. CGM TBR (<70 and <54 mg/dL)

    Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks

    Change in CGM TBR (<70 and <54 mg/dL)

  6. CGM TAR (>180 and >250 mg/dL)

    Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks

    Change in CGM TAR (>180 and >250 mg/dL)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Adherence to exercise

    Time frame: Baseline, 8 weeks

    Data will be collected via the PACTAID app, which will generate reports on the number of exercise sessions logged by patients. Since participants will also be wearing a Fitbit watch, we will capture heart rate changes during exercise, which will help confirm their physical activity. Furthermore, participants will complete the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) approximately once a month throughout the study.

  2. CGM hypoglycemic events

    Time frame: Baseline, 8 weeks

    Frequency of CGM measured Hypoglycemic events

  3. Severe hypoglycemia

    Time frame: Baseline, 8 weeks

    Frequency of severe hypoglycemia (requiring assistance from another person to recover from hypoglycemia)

  4. Ambulatory blood pressure

    Time frame: Baseline, 8 weeks

    Change in ambulatory blood pressure

  5. Ambulatory Arterial Stiffness Index

    Time frame: Baseline, 8 weeks

    Change in ambulatory arterial stiffness Index

  6. HsCRP

    Time frame: Baseline, 8 weeks

    Change in HsCRP

  7. Body weight or BMI

    Time frame: Baseline, 8 weeks

    Change in body weight or BMI

Other outcomes

  1. App confidence

    Time frame: Baseline, 8 weeks

    Confidence with app use during the exercise

  2. Fear of hypoglycemia

    Time frame: Baseline, 8 weeks

    The severity of hypoglycemia will be assessed monthly using the Clarke Hypoglycemia Unawareness Questionnaire. Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to add comments in the app before or after exercise sessions to indicate if they chose not to exercise due to concerns about hypoglycemia.

  3. Step count

    Time frame: Baseline, 8 weeks

    Step count will be assessed by a FitBit. We will assess the correlation of step count on CGM glucose metrics (TIR, TAR and TBR)

  4. Heart rate

    Time frame: Baseline, 8 weeks

    Heart rate will be assessed by a Fitbit. We will assess heart rate to determine if there is a relationship between CGM glucose metrics (TIR, TAR and TBR).
