Summary

Within 4 weeks after diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, 10 subjects (pubertal males, 12-17 years old) will be randomized to either receive multiple daily injection (MDI) using Lantus insulin, or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII; pump therapy). The study evaluates how these modes of therapy affect insulin sensitivity (measured by the euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp studies and adiponectin concentration changes) and beta cell function (measured by mixed meal tolerance testing).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Male or female patient between the age of 12 and 17 years inclusive at time of entry into study (i.e., after their 12th but before their 18th birthday)
  • Type 1 diabetes mellitus for no more than 10 days
  • pubertal (Tanner stage 2 or above)
  • The patient and parents or guardians should be able to do simple math calculations (necessary for pump management)
  • Parent or legal guardian must give signed informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

  • No other chronic medical conditions (well-controlled thyroid disease is OK, and mild asthma is OK if the patient is not on chronic inhaled or oral daily corticosteroids)
  • Exceptional psychological stress, more than expected for circumstances of having the new diagnosis of diabetes
  • Inability or unwillingness to comply with requirements of the protocol
