Study Summary

This trial will test whether the SSRI fluoxetine can improve SNS responses during exercise in people with Type 1 DM.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals aged 18-45 with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM), a body mass index under 40kg/m2, and HbA1c levels between 6-10%. Participants should not have diabetic tissue complications like retinopathy or neuropathy. Those with heart disease, hypertension, recent illnesses, on certain medications including antidepressants or anticoagulants, smokers, pregnant women, or unable to consent are excluded.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if the drug Fluoxetine (Prozac) can improve the nervous system's response during exercise in people with Type 1 DM who often avoid physical activity due to fear of hypoglycemia. It compares Fluoxetine against a placebo control to see if it can override reduced autonomic responses and sexual dimorphism in exercise-related ANS activity.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Fluoxetine may cause side effects such as nausea, headaches, sleep disturbances, anxiety and nervousness. Sexual dysfunction and emotional blunting are also possible. Side effects vary from person to person.
