Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Participants will be recruited who access the diabetes services in Western Australia, wear continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for > 75% of the time and satisfy the inclusion criteria.

The study will involve a one week run in period to optimise participants insulin settings profiles, Participants will have regular telephone contact with the study doctor to review glucose levels. Where indicated adjustments will be made to insulin settings to optimise basal insulin dose, insulin to carbohydrate ratios and insulin sensitivity factors. This will improve the likelihood of the participants blood glucose level being in the target range between 5-10mmol/L on the study day.

For the study visit all participants will arrive early morning after an overnight fast at the outpatient clinic for approximately 5 hours. Participants will consume a standardised solid meal within 10 minutes and gastric emptying will be quantified . Gastric emptying will be measured for up to 4 hours after meal consumption using the validated breath test technique. CGM data will be exported to assess postprandial glycaemic profiles. Blood glucose levels will be measured analogue to the breath test using a glucose oxidase analyser (YSI). Additionally, blood will be collected to measure concentration of gut hormones GLP-1 and GIP. Validated questionnaires will assess meal-related GE symptoms including nausea, bloating and postprandial fullness.
The project will be supervised by the principal investigator(s) to ensure it is conducted in compliance with the protocol, GCP and regulatory requirements. Information on participant recruitment and retention, participant safety and data collection will be collated and reviewed on a regular basis. All staff will be trained to ensure appropriate data collection in accordance with ICH-GCP guidelines. They will be trained on how to fill out the CRFs to ensure quality of data

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
The sample size for this exploratory study will be n=13, which the research team agree is feasible and achievable over the proposed data collection period. The study has been powered to detect a medium to large effect size using the linear Pearson correlation methods (coefficient r = 0.7). To allow this, 13 participants will be recruited.
Mean and SEs (normally distributed variables) and median and interquartile ranges will be reported.
After the study day, CGM data will be downloaded as Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. For further analysis, the data will be then analysed with statistical software (SPSS).
The 13CO2 exception rate will be used to calculate the gastric half emptying time (T1/2) using a non-linear regression model.
Exploration of bivariate associations between the CGM metrices and T1/2will be achieved through Pearson product-moment correlation
Multiple linear regression will be used to analyse relationship between gastric-half emptying time (T1/2), Gastrointestional (GI) symptoms and postprandial change in BGL.
