Selecting Insulin Analogs for Closed-Loop Control Using Multiplex Pharmacokinetic Profiling

The investigators are doing this research study to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) (rate of absorption) of insulin lispro (Humalog), insulin aspart (Novolog), and insulin glulisine (Apidra) within individual subjects.

Additionally, the investigators will perform a preliminary feasibility evaluation of a minimally invasive continuous insulin monitoring (CIM) device and its use to derive PK parameters in human subjects.

Primary outcomes

  1. For Multiplex PK Profiling: Aggregate Mean Difference in Tmax Between the Analog With Greatest and the Analog With the Least Value of Tmax for Individuals

    Time frame: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200, 220, 240, 260, 280, 300 minutes after dose

    The average difference in tmax between lispro and aspart in all participants

  2. For Continuous Insulin Monitoring: Time to Maximum Plasma Insulin and Time to Maximum Continuous Insulin Monitoring Insulin

    Time frame: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200, 220, 240, 260, 280, 300 minutes after dose

Secondary outcomes

  1. Multiplex PK: Average Baseline HbA1c Categorized According to Baseline Use of Insulin Analog Found to Have the Most Favorable PK Profile for Each Individual

    Time frame: Baseline

    Subjects with a difference in tmax between analogs will be categorized as follows: using insulin with best PK for them, using insulin with worst PK for them, or using insulin with intermediate PK for them. The average A1c for each of the three categories is reported.

  2. Multiplex PK: Count of Subjects With Difference in Tmax Between the Analog With Greatest and the Analog With the Least Value of Tmax That is > 25%

    Time frame: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200, 220, 240, 260, 280, 300 minutes after dose

  3. Multiplex PK: Average Baseline HbA1c Categorized According to Baseline Use of Insulin Analog With Tmax < 60 Minutes vs. Use of an Insulin Analog With Tmax > 60 Minutes for Each Individual

    Time frame: Baseline

    Subjects with a difference in tmax between analogs will be categorized as follows: using insulin with tmax less than or equal to 60 minutes or using insulin with tmax > 60 minutes. The average A1c per group is reported.

  4. Multiplex PK: Average Number of Hypoglycemia Events Over the Last Month at Baseline Categorized According to Baseline Use of Insulin Analog Found to Have the Most Favorable PK Profile for Each Individual

    Time frame: 1 month prior to study entry

    Subjects with a difference in tmax between analogs will be categorized as follows: using insulin with best PK for them, using insulin with worst PK for them, or using insulin with intermediate PK for them. The average number of hypoglycemic events per month per group is reported.
