E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To compare glucose variability in patients with diabetes and pancreatic exocrine insufficiency before starting pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy and 6 weeks after starting pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy.
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To compare other ambulatory glucose profile metrics prior to and 6 weeks after starting pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy: - Glucose exposure - Mean glucose - Time in hyperglycaemia - Time in target range - Time in hypoglycaemia - Glucose instability - Estimated HbA1c - To compare these during specific time periods including post-prandial (2-3 hours after meal)
To compare clinically important measures - HbA1c, weight and Body Mass Index |
