Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Sensor-augmented Insulin Pump
Continuous subcutaneous sensor-augmented insulin-pump therapy (SAPT) with an insulin pump from Medtronic (Paradigm® Velo) for a period of approximately 3 months post-transplantation.
|
Drug: Insulin lispro, Humalog (Eli Lilly) in insulin pump
all covered above |
Active Comparator: Basal insulin
NPH insulin titration regimen, as specified in the IPT-NODAT study
|
Drug: Human insulin isophane, Humulin N (Eli Lilly)
all covered above |
Active Comparator: Standard of care
Patients assigned in this arm will receive standard of care following their kidney transplantation
|
Other: Standard of care
all covered above
Other Name: Sliding scale short acting insulin for hyperglycemi; Sulphonylurea for NODAT |
- Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) [ Time Frame: 3 months after transplantation ]HbA1c levels, in relative %, at 3 months. Superiority will be assumed if a statistically significant difference between the SAPT-treatment group versus the control group (from the ITP-NODAT study) can be determined.
- Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) [ Time Frame: 3, 6, 12, 24 months after transplantation ]HbA1c, in relative %, at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months post-transplantation; The baseline measurement will also be subtracted from the 3-, 6-, 12-, and 24-months measurement (i.e. "3-months, 6-months, 12-months, and 24-months HbA1c minus baseline HbA1c"). For the determination of the intra-individual rise in HbA1c, the previously observed rise of 0.5±0.7 % (mean ± standard deviation) from baseline to 3 months in the TIP-study basal insulin treatment group will be judged to be clinically not meaningful, hence if the intra-individual rise in the SAPT-treatment group remains below that value, the rise in HbA1c will be considered to be not meaningful, clinically.
- Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)-derived 2 hour-glucose [ Time Frame: 6, 12, 24 months after transplantation ]2h glucose ≥200 mg/dL, as by OGTT at 6, 12 and 24 months after transplantation (in comparison to the simultaneously monitored control group of the ITP-NODAT study [=arm B; control])
- Fasting glucose [ Time Frame: 6, 12, 24 months after transplantation ]Fasting glucose and 2h glucose at 6, 12 and 24 months after transplantation.
- Beta cell function [ Time Frame: 6, 12, 24 months after transplantation ]Insulinogenic index during an OGTT at 6, 12 and 24 months after kidney transplantation
- Insulin sensitivity [ Time Frame: 6, 12, 24 months after transplantation ]Oral glucose insulin sensitivity (OGIS) index at 6, 12 and 24 months after kidney transplantation
- Daily glucose measurements [ Time Frame: Daily glucose measurements will be obtained during the hopital stay and while patients are injecting insulin, during an expected average of 3 months. ]Daily glycemia profile, through evaluation of all available glucose measurements
- Serum creatinine [ Time Frame: 6, 12 and 24 months after transplantation ]Serum creatinine at 6, 12 and 24 months after kidney transplantation
