Study Summary

This trial will compare the safety and side effects of two doses of inhaled regular insulin to a single dose of the rapid-acting insulin analog lispro.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men and women aged 18-65 with Type 1 diabetes, diagnosed at least a year ago. Participants should have a BMI of 18-28 kg/m², an HbA1c level of ≤10%, and be on multiple daily insulin injections or an insulin pump for over a year. They must also have low fasting serum C-peptide levels.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares the safety and effects of two doses of intranasal regular human insulin against one dose of subcutaneous rapid-acting Insulin Lispro (Humalog®). It will use the euglycemic glucose clamp technique to measure how the body responds to these insulins.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort or irritation in the nose from intranasal delivery, typical insulin-related side effects like hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), allergic reactions, injection site reactions, and headaches.
