Study Description

Brief Summary:

The objective is to describe the interaction of equal doses of NPH insulin (Neutral Protamine Hagedorn), insulin Detemir and insulin glargine on IGFBP-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein-1) production as well as immunoreactive and bioactive IGF-I (Insulin-like Growth Factor-I) after once-daily injection on three separate visits in type 1 diabetic subjects.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1	Drug: NPH Drug: Detemir Drug: Glargine	Phase 3

Detailed Description:

Because of the importance of receptors activation and potential effects on the IGF system, a head-to-head comparison of the eventual differential impact of intermediate-acting human insulin (NPH), insulin detemir and insulin glargine on the growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor-insulin-like growth factor binding protein (GH-IGF-IGFBP) axis is relevant to be conducted for the safety assurance of insulin analogues. Therefore, this study aims to investigate whether the serum insulin profile obtained by once-daily injection of long-acting insulin analog, insulin detemir or insulin glargine, has a different impact on IGFBPs production and IGF-I concentrations (total IGF-I) bioactivity and tissue-availability as compared to that seen during treatment with intermediate-acting human insulin, NPH insulin.
