Brief summary

The primary aim of this clinical study is to find signal characteristics of VOCs detected by Sokru device during fasting, insulin injection and after glucose intake and to find the association with blood glucose variation in variant states of glycemia and hypoglycemia.

Interventions

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Characteristics of volatile organic compound (VOC) signals measured by the Sokru deviceDuring the study procedure (approximately 5 hours)The primary outcome are changes in VOC signals measured by the Sokru at low glucose levels (below 3.0 -3.9 mmol/L) or during the time when the blood glucose level is decreasing (from 10 and 3.9 mmol/L).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Volatile Organic Compound SignalsDuring the study procedure (approximately 5 hours)VOC signals measured by the Sokru device at different blood glucose levels
Blood glucose concentrationDuring the study procedure (approximately 5 hours)Blood glucose levels are measured with the continuous glucose measurement system and in the venous blood at the time of the appearance of VOC signal peaks or drops
Time of onset of subjective symptoms of hypoglycemiaDuring the study procedure (approximately 5 hours)Self-reported onset of subjective symptoms of hypoglycemia
Heart rateDuring the study procedure (approximately 5 hours)Heart rate is measured with a Mindray device
Oxygen saturationDuring the study procedure (approximately 5 hours)Oxygen saturation is measured with a Mindray device
