Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary study parameter is the 24-hour blood glucose profile expressed as the 24-hour area under the curve (AUC) of interstitial glucose levels assessed by continuous glucose monitoring, whereby the 24-hour AUC before shivering will be compared to 24-h AUC after shivering. In practice, these 24-hour intervals run from ±14:00 (~3 hours after cessation of shivering) to ±14:00 the next day. For the day on which shivering takes place this is day 5-6, for the control day without shivering this is day 1-2 of each study period (P1 and P2). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary study parameter is the 24-hour AUC for interstitial glucose, whereby the mild shivering-induced changes in 24-hour AUC will be compared to moderate shivering-induced changes in 24-hour AUC. The 24-hour interval period after both mild and moderate cold will be compared and runs from ±14:00 on day 5 to the same time on day 6. | — |
