CREON Trial Summary
This trial tests whether pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy can improve glycemic responsiveness, reduce hypoglycemia, and improve symptoms of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency in people with T1DM who have reduced pancreatic volume.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with Type 1 Diabetes, who've had it for at least a year, use a continuous glucose monitor and smartphone, and get care from the Eskind Diabetes Clinic. They should have reduced pancreas size and not be pregnant or breastfeeding, on restrictive diets, using other diabetes meds besides insulin, or have celiac or bowel disease.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if CREON (pancreatic enzyme replacement) can help manage blood sugar in Type 1 Diabetes by improving glycemic response and reducing hypoglycemia compared to a placebo. Participants will provide data from their glucose monitors to see how well CREON works.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, pancreatic enzyme replacements like CREON may cause digestive issues such as stomach pain, gas, bloating; allergic reactions; and changes in blood sugars.
