Liraglutide in Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to study the effect of a liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide agonist, on post-meal blood glucose concentrations, glucagon levels, mean weekly blood sugars, and insulin doses in adolescents with Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that is usually diagnosed before the age of 20. Individuals with this disease are completely dependent on insulin for survival. While significant advances have been made in technological support for improving diabetes control, insulin remains the only effective treatment for Type 1 diabetes. Liraglutide is a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 analog. This drug is approved for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes in adults. This study will test the effect of liraglutide on blood sugar control in adolescents with Type 1 diabetes.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Mean weekly blood glucose [2 weeks]
The primary outcome is to determine whether liraglutide decreases mean weekly blood glucose in adolescents with Type 1 diabetes
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Total Daily insulin dose [2 weeks]
U/kg/day
Other Outcome Measures
- Blood sugar < 70 mg/dL [2 weeks]
Determine whether liraglutide increases episodes of blood sugar <70 mg/dL as measured by glucometer and CGM
- Amylase level [2 weeks]
Determine amylase levels during liraglutide treatment
