Study Summary

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) continues to be a disease plagued by hyperglycemia, insulin resistance (IR), and increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) despite advances in insulin delivery and glucose monitoring. Therefore new approaches are needed. Bromocriptine (BC), a dopamine (DA) agonist, has long been widely used for treating Parkinson's disease and prolactinoma. Its recent approval in a quick release formulation, BCQR, for type 2 diabetes (T2D) is an exciting development, representing a novel mechanism for improving IR. BCQR has not been studied in T1D, but it's mechanism of action, mechanistic studies, and preliminary data support the proposed study of possible benefits of BCQR on insulin action, glycemic control, and the vasculature in T1D. This study has received an exemption from the FDA to study BCQR in adults with T1D and an IND approval (131360) to study BCQR in adolescents with T1D. This is a random-order, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of a 4 week intervention. Outcomes will include fasting and postprandial glucose, glycemic variability, insulin dosing, hypoglycemia frequency and awareness, sleep quality, and metabolic hormone levels.

Primary Outcome

At the end of each 4 week intervention period, we will measure the effect of Bromocriptine Quick Release on average glucose levels (mg/dl) by continuous glucose monitoring
