Brief summary

The hypothesis is that an optimal formulation of fast acting and intermediary acting insulin analogues will improve post prandial glycaemic control in patients with type 1 diabetes

Detailed description

This trial is a single centre, open-label, randomised 4 period cross-over trial, comparing the pk and pd profiles of IAsp, BIAsp 50, BIAsp 70 and Fast-acting Human Insulin after a standard test meal in subjects with type 1 diabetes. The profiles will be derived over a 12-hour period after subcutaneous injection in the abdominal region with a single dose of IAsp, BIAsp 50, BIAsp 70 or Fast-acting Human Insulin at a test meal. The trial consists of a screening period of 4-21 days and 4 treatment visits.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Cmaxglu: Peak plasma glucose following test meal (breakfast). A comparison will be made between fast-acting human insulin vs. IAsp, BIAsp 50 and BIAsp 70, IAsp vs BIAsp 50 and BIAsp 70, BIAsp 50 vs. BIAsp 70.12 hours following a standard test meal (breakfast)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
AUCglu: The area under the plasma glucose concentration (0-12, 0-6, 6-12, 0-4, 4-8, 8-12 hours after test meal) after a single injection of one of the four insulins: IAsp, Biphasic insulin aspart 50 and 70 & fast-acting human insulin12 hours following a standard test meal (breakfast)
AUCins: The area under insulin aspart/human insulin concentration (0-12, 0-6, 6-12, 0-4, 4-8, 8-12 hours after test meal) after a single injection of one of the four insulins: IAsp, Biphasic insulin aspart 50 and 70 & fast-acting human insulin12 hours following a standard test meal (breakfast)
tmaxins: Time to maximum serum insulin aspart/human insulin concentration12 hours following a standard test meal (breakfast)
Serum GH, total IGF-I, IGF-I bioactivity, IGFBP-1, IGFBP-2, binary complex of IGF-I, IGFBP-3 and the acid-labile subunit (ALS)12 hours following a standard test meal (breakfast)
