Comparative Efficacy of a Two Daily Mixed Insulin Injection Versus a Basal-bolus Scheme With Human Insulin
- Conditions
- Type 1 Diabetes
- Interventions
- Drug: premix insulin human isophane suspension and insulin human
- Registration Number
- NCT05768191
- Lead Sponsor
- Université NAZI BONI
- Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare glycemic control and variability between children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes treated by a two daily injection of premixed human insulin (Humulin 30/70) and those who have a basal bolus scheme (Humulin N + Humulin R) in a resources limited setting.
The main question it aims to answer is: what is the effectiveness of premixed human insulin on glycemic control? Ten participants will be randomized initially to premix insulin human isophane suspension and insulin human injection (Humulin 30/70) twice daily, and 10 persons to insulin human isophane suspension (Humulin N) twice daily plus regular human insulin (Humulin R) before meals. At the end of the initial 16-wk treatment (period 1), all patients will be crossed over to the alternate treatment arm for an additional 16 wk (period 2). Insulin doses will be adjusted weekly by the clinical site according to a prespecified insulin intensification algorithm to achieve target fasting \[\<110 mg/dl (6.1 mmol/liter)\], bedtime \[\<130 mg/dl (7.2 mmol/liter)\], and premeal \[\<110 mg/dl (6.1 mmol/liter)\] glucose levels until HbA1c was below 7.0%.
Subjects will receive training on the FreeStyle Libre CGMS System, electronic hand-held personal digital assistant (e-diary), and self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), including recording glucose, insulin doses, and symptoms of hypo- or hyperglycemia.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To compare improvements from baseline in patient HbA1c when aggressively treated with insulin human isophane plus rapid acting human insulin vs treatment with Premix human insulin 12 months
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method frequency of hypo events (throughout the trial) 8 months weekly frequency of hypo events and time below range
correlation between patient QoL and glucose variability as measured by CGMS (baseline, week 16 and week 32) 8 months Quality of life score (baseline, week 32) (Using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory, 3.2 Diabetes module.) 8 months The PedsQL 3.2 Diabetes Module is composed of 33 items comprising 5 dimensions for ages 8- 45 years and 32 items for ages 2-7 years. Items are reversed scored and linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale. Higher scores indicate lower problems
