Monitoring Volatile Organic Compound Profiles in Exhaled Breath to Noninvasively Detect Glycemic Events in Patients With Diabetes
Indiana University
Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an array of biosensors can noninvasively identify hyperglycemic or hypoglycemic events in persons diagnosed with diabetes through noninvasive detection of volatile organic compounds in exhaled breath.
Description
A device has been developed for sensing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from human breath. VOCs are chemicals in the air that make up scents and smells, and many VOCs are endogenously produced inside the human body. Trained dogs can smell exhaled breath to determine if someone has diabetes and can even distinguish hypo- or hyperglycemic events (low or high blood sugar). The purpose of this study is to determine if the sensor device can identify hypo- or hyperglycemic events in persons with diabetes through detecting VOCs in breath noninvasively. The data obtained from the VOC sensor will be…

Inclusion Criteria: * Who are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. * Who are between 12-19 years of age. * That utilize a Dexcom (G6 or G7) continuous glucose monitoring device. * That have an established working CGM for at least 12 hours (that does not need to be replaced within 24 hours). * That are willing to share their daily CGM data for the study. * That are the only individuals in their household with any type of diabetes diagnosis (type 1 or type 2). * That are willing to return the device within 24-48 hours of study completion. * That are located in Indianapolis, IN or its suburban areas.…
Interventions
- DeviceThe Sensing Device
Children diagnosed with diabetes that wear a continuous glucose monitor will be given the Sensing Device. The subjects will provide breath samples into the device during euglycemia, hypoglycemia, and hyperglycemia, and the breath data will be analyzed to draw correlations with blood glucose levels.
