Understanding Low Blood Sugar in Type 1 Diabetes with Wearable Sensors
This study aims to better understand low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in people with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) using wearable technology. Up to 20 participants will wear a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and a smartwatch for four weeks to collect information on blood sugar levels, heart rate, and sleep. Researchers will also measure hormone levels during a special procedure called a hyperglycemic clamp, where your blood sugar is carefully controlled. The main goal is to create a way to identify people with T1D who are at higher risk for hypoglycemia using data from these wearable devices. This could help doctors better manage your care.
- Study design
- This is a single-site study involving up to 20 participants with Type 1 Diabetes.
- What's involved
- You would wear a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and a smartwatch for 4 weeks, and participate in a hyperglycemic clamp procedure. You would also have blood pressure monitoring, vascular tests, and blood draws before and after the clamp.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- You will be monitored for 4 weeks before the hypoglycemic clamp and 1 week after.
