The Postprandial Hypo-Avoid Study

Low-Dose Glucagon and Automated Insulin Delivery for Prevention of Spontaneous Exercise-Induced Hypoglycemia in People With Type 1 Diabetes

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 13 Aug 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The objective of the study is to evaluate whether pre-exercise administration of low-dose subcutaneous glucagon prevents or attenuates exercise-induced declines in plasma glucose concentration during and after moderate-intensity continuous exercise (MICE) performed approximately 90 minutes after a meal in adults with type 1 diabetes using an automated insulin delivery (AID) system. The primary endpoint is the difference in the change in plasma glucose (PG) from exercise initiation to the nadir during exercise and through the 2-hour post-exercise period between the glucagon (GCN) and carbohydrate (CHO) visits.

Contraception is required throughout the study duration. Sterilized or postmenopausal women (\>12 months since last period) are not required to use contraception)

Other illness

  • Allergies to lactose or glucagon
  • Known or suspected allergies to glucagon or related products
  • History of hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to glucagon or lactose

Lab values

  • Concomitant medical or psychological conditions identified through review of medical history, physical examination and clinical laboratory analysis that, according to the investigator's assessment, makes the individual unsuitable for study participation

Other

  • Patients with diagnosed pheochromocytoma, insulinoma or gastroparesis
  • Lack of compliance with key study procedures at the discretion of the investigator
  • Inability to understand the individual information and to give informed consent

Who the study is looking for

  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Type 1 diabetes ≥ 2 years
  • Using an automated insulin delivery system for ≥ 3 months
  • NovoRapid or Fiasp use ≥1 week
  • Proficiency in carbohydrate counting

Age in the registry: 18 years to - · Sex: All · Does not accept healthy volunteers
