Official Title: Correlation Between Carnitine Deficiency and Hypoglycemic Events in Type I Diabetes; Effects of Carnitine Supplementation on Hypoglycemic Events in Type I Diabetes
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine whether type I diabetics with carnitine deficiency exhibit increased numbers of hypoglycemic (low blood sugars) events and if unrecognized hypoglycemia occurs during continuous 72-hour glucose monitoring. If they are determined to have unrecognized hypoglycemia, then oral carnitine supplementation will be given to those subjects and they will be reassessed for the number of hypoglycemic events in a 72-hour glucose monitoring.
