Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1"

The DreaMed Advisor Pro is a software which automatically analyses treatment information, learns patient's needs and accordingly suggests adjustments in insulin dosing. The DreaMed Advisor Pro uses information gathered from glucose monitoring (sensor readings or capillary blood glucose measurements), insulin dosing and meal data during daily routine home care. Following a 5-minute data collection and analysis, the algorithm learns and suggests pump-setting changes for optimization of glucose control The algorithm is designed as an advisory tool and has three main components: A statistical analysis of the insulin pump and sensor data: insulin delivery, bolus-calculator rate of use, sensor glucose variables, hypoglycemic and hyperglycemia patterns. Practical recommendations, alert messages based on aforementioned data Recommendation for new insulin pump settings: including basal intervals and rate, different carbohydrate ratio according to time of day, correction factor and insulin sensitivity time. The main goal of the DreaMed Advisor Pro is to improve diabetes management for subjects with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) by using an innovative Advisor to determine insulin dosing for pump users. The main objective of the proposed study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of using the DreaMed Advisor Pro algorithm versus medical guided recommendation to determine insulin dosing for sub-optimal controlled subjects with type 1 diabetes using pump therapy.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a zinc-free insulin is an effective treatment option for lipoatrophy in patients with type 1 Diabetes (T1D) and insulin pump (CSII, continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion) therapy.

This clinical study proposes to assess the impact of Libre on frequency, duration and severity of hypoglycaemia, compared with the Dexcom G5 realtime CGM and will focus on people with impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia.

This is an investigator-initiated, prospective, randomized, multicenter, parallel, open-label, pilot clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of TI for PPBG, PPGE, and time-in-range on CGM download in patients with T1D. TI is an inhaled ultra-rapid-acting insulin, approved by the FDA for use in patients with diabetes. This is a pilot, real-life study where patients will continue their routine diabetes care and use post-meal correction dosages as deemed necessary for normalizing PPBG as per the protocol. This multi-center study will enroll 60 patients with T1D, A1c values between 6.5 to 10%. The patients will be randomized in 1:1 fashion to either TI or NL. Patients who are randomized into the NL arm will continue using their usual prandial insulin dose before meals. Patients who are randomized into the TI arm will be instructed to dose before the meals and take necessary corrections at 1- and 2-hours after meals to optimize PPBG (Table 1B). There will be a total of 7 study visits (screening visit, randomization visit, 2 clinic, and 3 phone visits). There will be a 4-week treatment comparison between TI and NL and 1-week of post-study follow up. (Phone visit; Figure-1). Standard lab tests (A1c, complete metabolic panel {CMP}, complete blood count {CBC}) will be performed at the screening visit. All patients will use real-time CGM (Dexcom G5®, San Diego, CA), which will be provided at the randomization visit for their day-to-day diabetes care. CGM data will be downloaded at every clinic visit on a secured computer. The data will be analyzed after the study for different primary and secondary end points. All patients will be allowed to keep the CGM after the study is over for their day-to-day diabetes care.

This feasibility/pilot study has three purposes. First, the investigators will determine the feasibility of collecting saliva to measure stress biomarkers over three days at home in youth. Second, the investigators will conduct a pilot study of the Teens.Connect Internet program for youth with type 1 diabetes to determine whether changes in stress biomarkers associate with self-reported perceived stress and HbA1c. Third, the investigators will examine the gene-environment interaction of the top 14 targeted candidate genes and epi-genome wide effects of teens' stress biomarkers and its influence on blood glucose levels over time.

A study was conducted in adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) examining the effect of different bolus types on 6-h postprandial glucose levels after the consumption of 3 standard meals with varying composition. Participants were asked to consume 10 different combinations of meal and bolus type.

Primary Objective: -To assess the safety and tolerability of Afrezza in children ages 4 to 17 years with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Secondary Objectives: To assess the ability to titrate the prandial and supplemental doses of Afrezza at each meal. To assess pharmacokinetics (PK) following a prandial dose of Afrezza in children ages 4 to 17 years with T1DM.

Carbohydrates are the main determinant of post-meal glucose excursion. However, fat and protein have been shown to also impact the postprandial glucose control, adding to the complexity of meal insulin calculation. Few studies have looked at the effect of macronutrients other than carbohydrates on postprandial glucose excursions with the closed-loop strategy. The objective of this study is to test whether the single-hormone closed-loop strategy can achieve similar post-meal glucose control with meals with a fixed carbohydrate content, but high in protein and/or fat when compared to a meal with a fixed carbohydrate content only.

Insulin treatment often causes the blood glucose levels to fall too low. The body usually responds to low blood glucose levels by releasing hormones which act against the insulin to help correct the low blood glucose levels. However, this hormone response can be altered in people with diabetes. Currently there are no therapeutic agents that can be used to improve the recovery from hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). The aim of this study is to determine whether a formoterol inhaler can be used to improve and accelerate the recovery from hypoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes.

High variability of blood sugar levels and high incidence of night-time hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) in young people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) make achieving the treatment goals in this population extremely challenging. Our ongoing research focuses on the development of a closed-loop glucose control in children and adolescents with T1D. The three components of the closed-loop system are a continuous glucose monitor, an insulin pump, and a computer-based algorithm. The studies performed thus far evaluated the efficacy and safety of overnight closed-loop glucose control. The results showed that overnight closed-loop improved control of blood glucose and prevented nocturnal hypoglycaemia, as compared to the conventional insulin pump therapy. The next objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of closed-loop insulin delivery over a prolonged time period, including the daytime, when normal living activities occur. This will pave the way for a more comprehensive use of closed loop systems to control glucose levels in T1D. The present study adopts an open-label, randomised, 2-period cross-over design whereby the safety and efficacy of closed-loop insulin therapy will be compared with the conventional insulin pump therapy in 12 adolescents with T1D. Participants aged 12 to 18 years will be randomised for two 36 hour studies in a clinical research facility, during which glucose levels will be controlled by either the computer-based closed-loop algorithm (intervention arm) or by conventional insulin pump therapy (control arm). During both studies participants will perform normal daily activities, i.e. playing, reading, snacking and physical activity. On both occasions, the Actiheart, a combined heart rate and movement sensor will be used to accurately quantify each subject's individual physical activity energy expenditure during the 36 hour study period and for 36 hours of free living during weekday.
