About this trial

A pilot study to evaluate and compare glucose metrics using a real-time continuous glucose monitor (FreeStyle Libre 3 sensor) between patients with diabetes and gastroparesis and those with diabetes without gastroparesis.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Over the age of 18 years.

Hemoglobin A1c ≤11% within the last 6 months.

Patients with diagnosis of type 1 Diabetes or type 2 Diabetes for at least one year.

Normal thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) within the last year.

Disqualifiers

Hemoglobin A1c of >11% at enrollment.

Advanced chronic kidney disease (serum creatinine of >2 mg/dL or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <30mL/min/1.73m² using Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) formula).

Advanced and significant cardiovascular disease or unstable angina.

Advanced liver disease that may affect glucose profiles.

Group B: Patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes without gastroparesisActive comparator 2 interventions

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Time-in-Range (TIR)

Percentage of time spent per day (and estimated actual amount of time in hours or minutes per day) in target glucose range 70-180 mg/dL.

Time frame
28 days of monitoring
2

Time-in-Tight Range (TITR)

Percentage of time spent per day (and estimated actual amount of time in hours or minutes per day) in target glucose range 70-140 mg/dL.

Time frame
28 days of monitoring
3

Time Below Range (TBR)

Percentage of time spent per day (and estimated actual amount of time in hours or minutes per day) with glucose \<70 mg/dL (including readings \<54 mg/dL)

Time frame
28 days of monitoring
4

Time Above Range (TAR)

Percentage of time spent per day (and estimated actual amount of time in hours or minutes per day) with \>180 mg/dL (including readings \>250 mg/dL).

Time frame
28 days of monitoring

Secondary outcomes

1

Hyperglycemia episodes

At least 15 minutes or longer of Time-Above Range (TAR) 181-250 mg/dL (Level 1 hyperglycemia) and \>250 mg/dl (Level 2 hyperglycemia)

Time frame
28 days of monitoring
2

Hypoglycemia episodes

At least 15 minutes or longer of Time-Below-Range (TBR) 54-69 mg/dL (Level 1 hypoglycemia) or \<54 mg/dL (Level 2 hypoglycemia)

Time frame
28 days of monitoring

Other outcomes

1

GCSI questionnaire

9 symptoms item questionnaire with a 6-point Likert-type response scale, ranging from 0 (none) to 5 (very severe). Total scores are in the range of 0-5, with higher scores reflecting greater symptom severity.

Time frame
Visit 2 - Day 5 (-3/+6 days), and Visit 4 - Day 25 (-7/+3 days)
2

GIQLI questionnaire

36-item questionnaire based on a 0-4 Likert-type scale, ranging from 0 (least desirable option) to 4 (most desirable option). Total scores range from 0 to 144, with higher scores indicating a better quality of life.

Time frame
Visit 2 - Day 5 (-3/+6 days), and Visit 4 - Day 25 (-7/+3 days)
