简要总结
Low blood sugar is also called hypoglycemia. Usually, it is mild and can be treated quickly and easily by eating or drinking a small amount of a sugar-rich food. If low blood sugar is left untreated, it can get worse and cause confusion, clumsiness or fainting. Severe hypoglycemia can lead to seizures, coma, and even death.
Some people with diabetes do not have early warning signs of low blood sugar. This condition is called hypoglycemia unawareness. It happens when the body stops reacting to low blood sugar levels and the person does not realize that they need to treat their hypoglycemia. This can lead to more severe and dangerous hypoglycemia.
The purpose of this early study is to see if a drug called naltrexone should be studied more in people with Type I diabetes and hypoglycemia unawareness. This study will show whether naltrexone could reduce hypoglycemia unawareness. The study will also show, by using magnetic resonance imaging (also called MRI), whether naltrexone changes the way blood flows in the brain when a person is experiencing hypoglycemia.
详细描述
Visit 1
This visit is estimated to last approximately 1 hour.
At this visit, you will be asked to complete a questionnaire about hypoglycemia unawareness. Some questions about your medical history may be asked in order to make sure you are eligible to be in this study. You will also have some blood collected for tests that measure how your liver and kidneys are working. A blood test that measures muscle breakdown will also be done. If you are a female who could become pregnant, a pregnancy test will also be done. The amount of blood that will be collected at this visit is approximately three teaspoons. This visit is estimated to last approximately one hour.
You will be asked to wear a continuous glucose monitor (CGMS) around the clock for the seven days before the MRI study. This involves putting a small plastic sensor under the skin on your stomach and carrying the monitor that attaches to the sensor. The sensor measures your glucose and records the readings automatically on the monitor. The monitor is about the size of the palm of a woman's hand. The information stored on the monitor can be sent to a computer that the researcher uses. The researcher will insert the CGMS at visit 1.
