Study Summary

This trial will test whether a person's breath acetone can be used to identify ketosis in people with type 1 diabetes. This is important for the potential use of a certain type of diabetes medication.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-75 with Type 1 Diabetes for over a year, HbA1c below 10%, using an insulin pump and Dexcom G6 CGM. Participants need good vision, ability to adjust their pump, and use specific apps on a smartphone. Exclusions include recent UTI or vomiting episodes, certain medication usage like corticosteroids or SGLT2i, unstable heart disease or cancer treatment within the past six months, history of severe ketosis-related conditions (DKA), low kidney function or hemoglobin levels.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing if breath acetone measurements can detect ketosis in Type 1 Diabetes patients when taking SGLT2 inhibitors. It involves using the Biosense Breath Ketone Analyzer alongside usual diabetes care to monitor safety and effectiveness of this drug class.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include dehydration due to increased urination caused by SGLT2 inhibitors and risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (a serious condition where high levels of acids build up in your blood).

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Ketone levels measured in blood and breath in persons with T1D in persons with T1D
Secondary outcome measures
Ketone levels in persons with T1D during usual care versus usual care plus SGLT2i treatment
Other outcome measures
Ketone levels in persons with T1D undergoing insulin withdrawal

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Group B: Usual care plus dapagliflozin followed by usual careExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
10 persons with T1D will check capillary beta hydroxybutyrate (BOHB) and concomitant breath acetone (BrAce) 2 - 3 times daily for 2 weeks during usual care plus treatment with the SGLT2i dapagliflozin, 10 mg taken orally daily, then undergo an insulin withdrawal visit. Subsequently, the Group B patients will repeat the paired measurements of BOHB and BrAce, 2 - 3 times daily during usual care alone followed by an insulin withdrawal visit.
Group II: Group A: Usual care followed by usual care plus dapagliflozinExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
10 persons with T1D will check capillary beta hydroxybutyrate (BOHB) and concomitant breath acetone (BrAce) 2 - 3 times daily for 2 weeks during usual care, then undergo an insulin withdrawal visit. Subsequently, the Group A patients will repeat the paired measurements of BOHB and BrAce, 2 - 3 times daily for 2 weeks during usual care plus treatment with the SGLT2i dapagliflozin, 10 mg taken orally daily, followed by an insulin withdrawal visit.
