Metabolic Phenotypes and Heterogeneity in Disease Burden Risk in Type 1 Diabetes

Completed

• Conditions: Diabetes Mellitus

• Registration Number: NCT05609279
• Lead Sponsor: University of Michigan

Brief Summary

This study focuses on individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and seeks to comprehensively study and understand several aspects of T1D including: susceptibility to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and improvement in hypoglycemia risk using of advanced diabetes technologies, such as continuous glucose monitoring (CGM); the differences among individuals with T1D in the risk of chronic complications, and minimize the psychosocial impact of T1D.

Detailed Description

The study seeks to comprehensively study and understand several aspects of type 1 diabetes (T1D) including: the risk of low blood sugar and how that may be improved with new technologies; the variability (heterogeneity) among individuals in their risk of diabetes complications, and factors that could impact the psychosocial burdens of having T1D. The investigators want to learn of there are patient-specific systemic metabolomic profiles (substances detected in blood or urine) that lower the risk for hypoglycemia. Metabolomic analyses will be used to discover biological markers that could predict who is most likely to get diabetes complications, and how these risks might be changed, for example, by developing treatments targeted specifically to those biological markers. The investigators also plan to describe the relationship between metabolomic profiles, psychosocial states and cognitive function.
