Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of sitagliptin on overall blood glucose concentrations in Type I Diabetic subjects. The study also aims to evaluate post meal glucagon concentrations in Type I Diabetic subjects (a possible mechanism of reduced blood glucose concentrations) and indices of oxidation stress in the plasma of these subjects.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
N/A

Detailed Description

The hypothesis is that Sitagliptin will improve overall blood glucose, fasting blood glucose, and glycemic excursions in patients with Type I Diabetes. In addition, sitagliptin will likely suppress indices of oxidative stress in patients. The study will investigate proposed mechanisms of improved glucose concentrations, including enhanced effect of endogenous GLP-1 and suppression of glucagon.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. change from baseline in mean glucose concentrations [baseline and 3 months]

      The primary endpoint of the study is to detect the change from baseline in mean glucose concentrations as measured by both HbA1c, and mean glucose over the three days of continuous glucose monitoring.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Glycemic changes [baseline and 3 months]

      Glycemic changes including standard deviations of the glycemic levels, fructosamine, and the duration of time spent in hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia.

    2. Post meal hyperglycemia [baseline and 3 months]

      Post meal hyperglycemia will be measured as area under the curve (AUC).

    3. Changes in post prandial glucose, glucagon, insulin, c-peptide, DPP-IV, GIP and, GLP-1 concentrations following meal challenge. [baseline and 3 months]

    4. Changes in NF kappa B in the fasting state. [baseline and 3 months]

    5. Change in NFkappaB following meal challenge. [baseline and 3 Months]
