Study hypothesisPaediatric patients using the MiniMed Paradigm® REAL-Time system providing a combination of insulin pump and REAL-Time continuous glucose monitoring from the onset of type 1 diabetes have a better glycaemic control after 12 months of type 1 diabetes compared to those using the MiniMed Paradigm® insulin pump combined to conventional self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) finger-sticks.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval received from the Ethics Committee of the Medizinische Hochschule Hannover on the 14th December 2006.
ConditionType 1 diabetes mellitus
InterventionPatients will be randomised into two groups:
Group A: MiniMed Paradigm® REAL-Time insulin pump system with continuous glucose monitoring
Group B: MiniMed Paradigm® 515/715 insulin pump with conventional SMBG measurements. Patients of Group B will be required to wear the Guardian REAL-Time Clinical (blinded continuous glucose monitor) for 6 days prior to two visits.

Each subject will participate for 15 months, which includes 12 months treatment and 3 months follow-up. In total, there will be six study visits at the local site. Main timepoints of assessment are at baseline and 12 months thereafter. During study, patients will regularly attend the outpatient clinic according to local standard care. Analysis of HbA1c, diabetes-associated autoantibodies and fasting C-peptide will be performed during study.

As of 16/10/2009 this record was updated to include the correct sponsor details; at the time of registration, the funder was also indicated to be the sponsor.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureHbA1c (central determination with HPLC) after 12 months of treatment, measured at baseline, 6 weeks, and 6, 12, 15 and 24 months.
Secondary outcome measures1. Dose of insulin per day, percentages of basal and bolus insulin dose as calculated from the pump downloads using the CareLink software, measured at 6 weeks and 6, 12, 15 and 24 months
2. Average number of daily boluses as calculated from the pump downloads using the CareLink software, measured at 6 weeks and 6, 12, 15 and 24 months
3. Frequency of sensor use, measured at 6 weeks and 6, 12, 15 and 24 months (group A only)
4. Frequency of daily SMBG measurements, measured at baseline, 6 weeks and 6, 12, 15 and 24 months
5. Stimulated C-peptide, measured at baseline, 12 and 24 months
6. Height and Ht SDS, weight and Wt SDS, BMI and BMI SDS, measured at baseline, 6 weeks and 6, 12, 15 and 24 months
7. Glucose average and variation during 24h as documented by Paradigm REAL-Time and Guardian REAL-Time Clinical (blinded to glucose values) in the control group
8. Occurrence of hypoglycaemia below 70 mg/dl (3.9 mmol/l) during 24 hour expressed as Area under the Curve (AUC) below 70 mg/dl (3.9 mmol/l), measured at 6 weeks and 6, 12, 15 and 24 months
9. Occurrence of hyperglycaemia above 200 mg/dl (11.1 mmol/l) during 24 hours expressed as Area Under the Curve (AUC) above 200 mg/dl (11.1 mmol/l), measured at 6 weeks and 6, 12, 15 and 24 months
10. Serious adverse events (severe hypoglycaemia/DKA), measured at 6 weeks and 6, 12, 15 and 24 months
11. Treatment/device complications reported by patients/parents
12. Patient's QoL outcome (DISABKIDS for children aged 8 - 16 years), measured at -1 day and 6, 12 and 24 months
13. Care giver's QoL outcome (DISABKIDS), measured at -1 day and 6, 12 and 24 months
14. Care giver's psychological well-being (WHO 5 questionnaire), measured at -1 day and 6, 12 and 24 months
15. Socioeconomic burden for families (SBQ), measured at -1 day and 6, 12 and 24 months
