Participant Flow

Between 2018-2019, 25 subjects from the local community were screened for eligibility and then randomly assigned to one arm of the study . When the first arm was completed, the subjects crossed over to the other arm of the study.

25 Participants were randomly assigned to one arm and then crossed over to the other arm when the first assignment was completed.

Measure
Insulin Degludec, Then Insulin Glargine
Subjects with type 1 diabetes and on multiple daily injections will use basal insulin Degludec and the TRESIBA® FLEXTOUCH® pens during a long-haul flight and randomized to this arm first or second. Insulin Degludec: Subjects will use Insulin Degludec (Tresiba) with TRESIBA® FLEXTOUCH® pens as their basal insulin during a 9-10 hour flight, at each destination, and then during a return flight. After a washout period of 2 weeks, the subjects crossed over to the other basal insulin, Insulin Glargine.
Insulin Glargine U100, Then Insulin Degludec
Subjects with type 1 diabetes and on multiple daily injections will use basal insulin Glargine U100 and the LANTUS® SOLOSTAR® INSULIN PEN during a long-haul flight and randomized to this arm first or second. Insulin Glargine: Subjects will use Insulin Glargine (Lantus) with LANTUS® SOLOSTAR® INSULIN PEN as their basal insulin during a 9-10 hour flight, at each destination, and then during a return flight. After a washout period of 2 weeks, subjects crossed over to the other basal insulin, Insulin Degludec.

Insulin Degludec: Subjects will use Insulin Degludec (Tresiba) with TRESIBA® FLEXTOUCH® pens as their basal insulin during a 9-10 hour flight, at each destination, and then during a return flight. TRESIBA® FLEXTOUCH®: Subjects will use Tresiba FlexTouch pens when using Tresiba as their basal insulin during a 9-10 hour flight, at each destination, and then during a return flight.
Insulin Glargine U100
Subjects with type 1 diabetes and on multiple daily injections will use basal insulin Glargine U100 and the LANTUS® SOLOSTAR® INSULIN PEN during a long-haul flight and randomized to this arm first or second. Insulin Glargine: Subjects will use Insulin Glargine (Lantus) with LANTUS® SOLOSTAR® INSULIN PEN as their basal insulin during a 9-10 hour flight, at each destination, and then during a return flight. LANTUS® SOLOSTAR® INSULIN PEN: Subjects will use Lantus SoloStar insulin pens when using Lantus as their basal insulin during a 9-10 hour flight, at each destination, and then during a return flight.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: During 24 hours at each destination

Population: The pre-specified intent was to combine insulin arms if there were no differences between insulin arms. Sleep quality/efficiency was compared at each destination.

Measurement of sleep efficiency (SE% - total sleep time in minutes divided by time in bed in minutes)
