Testing State of the Art Remote Glucose Monitoring at Diabetes Camp
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT01680653
Purpose
The incidence of low blood sugar and hypoglycemic seizures at diabetes camp has been reduced
thanks to overnight blood glucose level testing. The timing of the overnight blood test is
often arbitrary and it is unclear when the highest frequency of nocturnal hypoglycemic events
at camp are occurring. It is also unclear what the most appropriate treatment for nocturnal
hypoglycemia is: simple carbohydrates, or mini-glucagon.
In this study, we will use Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) that will send subject data
securely to a remote computer located in the medical cottage at camp throughout the night.
Study staff will monitor the computer and will intervene on low blood sugar as it occurs in
real time. On half of the nights, campers will receive mini-glucagon for low blood sugar, and
on the rest, they will receive standard carbohydrate treatment.

Professor of Pediatrics (Endocrinology) at the Lucile Salter Packard Children's Hospital, Emeritus
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Clinical diagnosis of type 1 diabetes and using daily insulin therapy for at least one
year
- Age 7-21 years
- Attendee of Camp De Los Ninos or Conrad Chinnock
- Come to camp with a consent already signed after having talked to study staff about
the study, or at the onset of the camp meet with study staff and sign the consent
before the first night at camp.
- Using multiple daily insulin injections (Lantus) or on an insulin pump (any brand)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Cystic fibrosis
- Medications such as current use of oral steroids or other medications, which in the
judgment of the investigator would be a contraindication to participation in the
study.
- History of adhesive allergies which would interfere with sensor wear.
Intervention(s):
drug: Mini-glucagon
device: Remote monitoring
dietary supplement: Carbohydrates
