Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study aims to obtain a panel of biomarkers from hypoglycemic diabetic patients with either type 1 or type 2 diabetics and from control patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who didn't have hypoglycemia in the last 72 hours.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Primary endpoint is establishing a panel of biomarkers from 100 hypoglycemic diabetic patients with type 1 or type 2 Diabetes during the incidence of hypoglycemia by taking a single blood sample to be analyzed for HbA1c, LDL, HDL, Triglycerides, CRP, CBC and biochemical analysis including liver and kidney function tests. In addition to 5 ml serum sample to be centrifuged and stored in RCSI lab.

Inpatient hypoglycemic patients may also be included in group of hypoglycemia and will be required to have a serial of blood samples taken to be analyzed on the 1st hour, 2nd hour, 3rd hour and 4th hour after the hypoglycemic event.

Secondary endpoint involves recruitment of 100 control Diabetic patients with type 1 or type 2 Diabetes to establish a panel of biomarkers by obtaining a blood sample for the HbA1c, LDL, HDL, Triglycerides, CRP, CBC and biochemical analysis including liver and kidney function tests to include 50 subjects fasting overnight and the other 50 subjects to be non-fasting but without having hypoglycemia at the time of recruitment or in the last 72 hours.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Hypoglycemic diabetic patients

Hypoglycemic diabetic patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes recruited during the incidence of hypoglycemia with awareness of the time when hypoglycemia occurred.

No interventions assigned to this group

Control group of non-hypoglycemic diabetic patients.

Type 1 or type 2 diabetic subjects who don't have hypoglycemia at the time of recruitment or in the last 72 hours.

No interventions assigned to this group
