MEnstrual Cycle pHase ANd dIabeteS Management

Completed

• Conditions: Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

• Registration Number: NCT07004504
• Lead Sponsor: DCB Research AG

Brief Summary

This study examines how menstrual cycle phases affect glycemic control and insulin requirements in women with type 1 diabetes (T1D). It aims to analyze differences in insulin needs and glucose levels between follicular and luteal phases using data from the Tidepool Data Platform. Key parameters include mean glucose, Time in Range (TIR), and total insulin administration. Secondary objectives involve assessing phase-specific glucose fluctuations, aggregated differences, and insulin adjustment strategies. The study follows a decentralized, anonymous data collection approach with participants using CGMs and insulin pumps or smart pens. Statistical analysis includes linear mixed-effects modeling to compare glycemic variability across cycle phases. Findings aim to enhance our understanding of diabetes management during the menstrual cycle and potentially inform future treatment strategies.
