Brief Summary: This is a prospective, randomized, double blind, parallel, placebo controlled clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of colesevelam HCl in reducing LDL in subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus over a 12 week treatment period. The aim is to highlight the effect of colesevelam on LDL cholesterol and glycemia in a type 1 diabetic population. The colesevelam group is anticipated to demonstrate a mean reduction in LDL by 10% compared to the placebo group, indicated by A1c and glycemic target range CGM readings.
Detailed Description: This is a prospective, randomized, double blind, parallel, placebo controlled clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of colesevelam HCl in reducing LDL in subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus over a 12 week treatment period. Colesevelam is an orally administered bile acid sequestrant approved as an adjunct for diet and exercise for lowering incidence of hyperlipidemia, an important risk factor for long term cardiovascular health in the general population and people living with diabetes. Use of colesevelam has been shown to concurrently decrease low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and A1c in patients with type 2 diabetes. The exact mechanism is unknown. Our research aims to highlight the effect of colesevelam on LDL and glycemia in a type 1 diabetic population.

This single-center study will enroll a maximum of 40 patients with LDL-C \> 100 and A1c values between 6.5-9%, who will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to either the study drug or placebo. Visits will be conducted at screening, baseline, one month, two months, and three months. At home, subjects will take 3.75 gms/day of colesevelam HCl or placebo throughout the study duration. Laboratory analysis will be performed at various timepoints assessing A1c, fasting lipid panel, c-peptide, glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1), and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP). Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) measurements will be obtained on all patients for one week before each monthly visit to assess for above target range (ATR), within target range (WTR), and below target range (BTR) glucose values and time spent in hyperglycemic and hypoglycemic excursions.

The colesevelam group is anticipated to demonstrate a mean reduction in LDL by 10% compared to the placebo group.
