Brief summary

This study aims to compare the post-meal blood glucose values of two drugs in a real-world setting.

Detailed description

This is a randomized, open-label trial that aims to compare the glycemic excursion following food intake following post-meal injection of Glulisine (Apidra) insulin and Lispro (Humalog) insulin in a real-world setting. Children participating in the Florida Camp for Children and Youth with Diabetes will be randomized to receive either Glulisine or Apidra to cover carbohydrates after meals. The difference in blood glucose values will be analyzed before and 2 hours after meals to see if there is a difference in post-prandial hyperglycemia between groups.

Interventions

DRUGApidra

Subjects on this treatment arm will receive Apidra insulin for their bolus doses, with doses optimized individually to achieve glycemic targets at daily medical rounds with their cabin physicians.

Subjects on this treatment arm will receive Humalog insulin for their bolus doses, with doses optimized individually to achieve glycemic targets at daily medical rounds with their cabin physicians.

Subjects on this treatment arm will receive Novolog insulin for their bolus doses, with doses optimized individually to achieve glycemic targets at daily medical rounds with their cabin physicians. (NOTE: This arm was only for one year of the study which was the 2012 camp session.)

MeasureTime frameDescription
The Difference Between Pre- and 120 Minute Post-prandial Blood Glucose Concentrations at Lunch.averaged over 5 daysBlood glucose concentrations were measured prior to and 90 minutes following lunch. Analysis was based on intention to treat. While missing data was imputed, it was known that this data was 'not missing at random' thus violating standard statistical assumptions with imputation. Therefore imputed data was not included in the final model. The number of participants for analysis was based upon a convenience sample of individuals attending Florida Camp for Children and Youth with Diabetes at Camp Winona.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

The study was conducted at the Florida Camp for Children & Youth with Diabetes during the summers of 2011 and 2012. In the summer of 2012 an additional arm was added to the study to include Novolog.

Pre-assignment details

There were 107 participants consented to the study. 8 participants were withdrawn prior to randomization to the study.

The Difference Between Pre- and 120 Minute Post-prandial Blood Glucose Concentrations at Lunch.

Therefore imputed data was not included in the final model.
