Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The body secretes hormones such as adrenaline as a response to low blood sugars. Patients who have had insulin dependant diabetes for over 5 years rely heavily on adrenaline release, to produce symptoms, so that they can respond appropriately to low blood sugars. However, this response is blunted in those with Type 1 diabetes. Our question is whether the degree of this response can be increased by use of 3 months of the DPP4inhibitor, so that patients become better aware of hypoglycaemia. ;Secondary Objective: Does DPPIVi used as an adjunct therapy to insulin, -improve glucose control -improve general health of the blood vessels -reduce weight? -reduce frequency of reported hypoglycaemia? -improve quality of life measures? ;Primary end point(s): Magnitude of adrenalin response at blood glucose of 2.5mmol/L;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: During the 2 clamp studies, when the blood glucose has reached 2.5mmol/L | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): HbA1C, Daily insulin requirements Glucose variability as assessed using the continuous glucose monitoring system. Hypoglycaemic awareness Lipid profile, BP, Vascular endothelial function Weight Frequency of hypoglycaemia Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale Fear of hypoglycaemia and Fear of Hyperglycaemia scale ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Baseline, then following each 3 month period of active treatment and then following 3 month period of placebo | — |
