Interventions

Group 1: single-arm: Persons with Diabetes mellitus Type 1 will come to the study site on 3 days. On all 3 days, one arm will be heated with a heating pad to “arterialize” the venous blood. Study pro

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The objective of the study is to investigate in an exploratory manner the effect of arterializing venous blood using a heating method on glucose concentrations in comparison to venous and capillary samples. The hypothesis is that arterialized-venous glucose concentrations are similar to capillary glucose concentrations and, thus, substantially higher than native venous glucose concentrations. Co-primary endpoints: Difference between venous and arterialized-venous glucose concentrations - for deproteinized whole blood measured with Cobas 6000 c501 - for plasma measured with Cobas 6000 c501 - for plasma measured with YSI 2300 STAT Plus

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
- Difference between capillary and venous and arterialized-venous glucose concentrations measured with BGMS - Difference between arterialized-venous and venous glucose concentrations stratified by type of glucose challenge - Difference between glucose concentrations in the dominant and in the non-dominant arm, for each method separately - Difference between CGM values and venous and arterialized-venous glucose concentrations measured with the other devices. - Difference between CGM values on the two arms, both without and with arterialization, to assess the impact of arterialization on the CGM values
