Twenty-one patients with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes with diabetic complications will be recruited to Part 1 of the study, a three-hour combined hyper- and hypoglycaemic clamp, along with a control group of twenty-one individuals with normal glucose tolerance matched for age, gender, and body mass index. Patients with type 2 diabetes will be scheduled for a three-week run-in period with LR and CGM prior to participation in Part 1. Only patients with a well-functioning loop-recorder and who can comply with CGM will be included. Patients with type 2 diabetes will continue in part 2 of the study, a one year observational study employing CGM and LR and clinical examination after 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months and an extended observation period of 2 years employing LR and clinical examination.

| Combined hyper- and hypoglycaemic clamp | Other | During the entire clamp, participants will be monitored by ECG, pulse oximetry, and blood pressure and plasma glucose will be measured bedside every fifth minute. Additionally, patients with type 2 diabetes will be monitored by a loop recorder (LR) and a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). Comparison of LR and CGM recordings with the recordings obtained by ECG Holter monitor and blood sampling will be used for validation of the method used in Part 2 of the study. Blood samples will be drawn and analysed for changes in electrolytes, insulin, glucagon, catecholamines and cortisone. A cardiac haemodynamic evaluation will be performed by echocardiography at baseline, hyperglycaemia, and hypoglycaemia. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Part 1: Clinically relevant arrhythmias | Composite endpoint including atrial fibrillation, brady-arrhythmias and tachy-arrhythmias. Clinically relevant brady-arrhythmias are defined as sinus arrest for more than 3 seconds, frequency below 30 beats per minute (bpm), or high grade atrioventricular (AV) block including Mobitz Type II and third-degree AV block. Clinically relevant tachy-arrhythmias are defined as sustained ventricular tachycardia (duration >30 seconds), and non-sustained ventricular tachycardia. | 0-240 min during the combined hyper- and hypoglycaemic clamp |
