The Effect of Exercise on the Development of Hypoglycemia in Children With Type 1 Diabetes; A Study Being Conducted by the Diabetes Research in Children Network
In Brief
An observational study for Diabetes Mellitus, Type I. Completed, across 5 sites.
Detailed Summary
The main purpose of this study is to find out how often low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) happens during the night after exercise in the late afternoon. The study also will see if there are any factors that can predict if low blood sugar is going to develop. Blood samples will also be drawn to measure two hormones-glucagon and epinephrine (adrenaline)-to see how they are affected by exercise. Glucagon helps to raise the blood sugar when it is low. Epinephrine causes symptoms that make the person aware that the blood sugar is low. From the blood sample, other substances in the blood may also be measured to see how they are affected by exercise. A second purpose of the study is to find out whether exercise affects the accuracy of a continuous glucose sensor (CGMS made by Medtronic Minimed). The study will also look at the accuracy of different home glucose meters.
