Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
1. Evaluate how ketone metrics differ between participants with mild to moderate chronic kidney disease and those with normal renal function in three time periods.
2. Identify potentially modifiable ketosis risk factors.
3. Use continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and continuous ketone monitoring (CKM) data prior to and following treatment to determine ketosis risk factors and gain knowledge to further refine reporting of risk factors.
4. Gather information on how participants and clinicians like and use the CGM/CKM reports.
Participants will be asked to:
* Meet with study investigators to determine if they are eligible
* Sign written informed consent
* Take a pregnancy test, if applicable
* Have blood taken to assess kidney function and hemoglobin A1c
* Take the study medication, following the study team instructions
* Wear the study provided sensor throughout participation.
* Complete 5 in person visits, and 11 phone check ins over a nine-month period
* Provide feedback on the usefulness of CGM/CKM reports

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The overall goals of this study are to develop and evaluate a novel DKA risk mitigation strategy to support the safe use of SGLT2i therapy in patients with T1D. We propose studying SGLT2i medications with a focus on patients with T1D and mild to moderate CKD; this group is the most likely to benefit from the SGLT2i kidney protective effects and, once approved for use in T1D, patients at risk for kidney disease may be prioritized for treatment with SGLT2i therapy. The DKA risk mitigation strategy will leverage early detection of risk for DKA through CKM technology and our team's expertise in developing and implementing standardized, comprehensive, and clinically relevant reports for CGM data. The combined CGM/CKM report, in addition to continuous glucose and ketone data, will incorporate patient data on potentially modifiable ketosis risk factors. The CGM/CKM report will be refined taking into account the preferences of patients and providers, ensuring an accessible and interpretable user interface and supporting sustained behavior changes to prevent episodes of ketosis and to ensure that when episodes of ketosis do occur, they do not progress to DKA. This study builds on our extensive clinical and research expertise in diabetes care, qualitative and quantitative analyses, and leadership in optimization of CGM reports to improve glycemic control and long-term clinical outcomes while preventing DKA in patients with T1D and CKD progression.
The medication to be used in this study is sotagliflozin, a combination SGLT 1 and 2 inhibitor manufactured by Lexicon Pharmaceuticals (The Woodlands, TX). The medication is approved by FDA in the United States as treatment for heart failure, including for those with T2D. Sotagliflozin is administered orally in the outpatient setting. It has also been approved in Europe by the European Medicines Agency as an adjunct to insulin therapy to improve glycemic control in adults with T1D with a BMI \>27 kg/m2, who have not achieved adequate glycemic control despite optimal insulin therapy. The drug is sold in the United States as Zynquista and is currently available for prescription use through regular pharmacy channels. The decision to increase sotagliflozin dose will be a shared decision between the study subject and the study investigators.
The study device we plan to use is the combined continuous glucose and ketone monitor (CGKM) manufactured by Abbott Diabetes (Chicago, IL). The device uses a sensor placed subcutaneously to measure interstitial fluid levels of glucose and BHB every 1 minute and via the attached transmitter on the skin surface, transmit the data to a receiver (or smartphone application). The device is currently pending FDA approval; we will ensure the device is FDA approved prior to beginning any study-related activities.
Patients will receive real-time alerts from the device at the manufacturer's programed ketone thresholds (to be determined per the commercially available CKM device). Patients will also be educated on proper identification and management of acute ketonemia, including how to use the data from the CKM in real-time to recognize and treat ketone levels as soon as they arise. This will be based on our own internal standing orders for "Adult Diabetes Management: Hyperglycemia and Ketoacidosis" which is based upon the ADA guidance for hyperglycemia management as well as informed by the STOP protocol to guide CHO intake along with appropriate insulin dosing. This standing order will provide guidance for fluids, insulin, and CHO intake based on the glucose and ketone levels, and factor into account presence and severity of symptoms in when to recommend seeking care in an emergency department. The CKM will have novel trend arrows about ketosis which will also be incorporated into the real-time ketone management guidance (e.g. increase insulin bolus 10% if trend arrows are pointing up). Patients will be provided with detailed instructions as well as a paper wallet card to always carry with them.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Sotagliflozin
In this single arm trial, all patients will be started on sotagliflozin at a dose of 200mg/d. After 3 months of sotagliflozin 200 mg/d, patients who do not achieve good glycemic control (TIR \>60%) and who have moderate or no CKD (eGFR \>60) will be offered the option to increase sotagliflozin to 400mg/d. All other participants will continue taking 200 mg sotagliflozin daily.
Sotagliflozin initiation
All patients will be started on sotagliflozin at a dose of 200mg/d. After 3 months of sotagliflozin 200 mg/d, patients who do not achieve good glycemic control (TIR \>60%) and who have moderate or no CKD (eGFR \>60) will be offered the option to increase sotagliflozin to 400mg/d. The decision to increase sotagliflozin dose will be a shared decision between the study subject and the study investigators. All other participants will continue taking 200 mg sotagliflozin daily. After completing all study visits, all participants will stop taking sotagliflozin and continue care with their healthcare provider(s).
