Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1"

The Creative Arts Diabetes Initiative will offer facilitated art therapy with a group/peer-support environment to two groups of youth/young adults, one with type 1 diabetes, and one with type 2 diabetes. This environment intends to "meet youth where they are", promote universality, hope and self-understanding, has the potential to be therapeutic and allows youth to express and learn about themselves and each other while developing healthy coping skills and address their fears and concerns.

This study will investigate how the body processes nasal glucagon (NG) and the effect of nasal glucagon on the body. The study is expected to last about 50 days for each participant. The study is open to adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes and will last about 50 days.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects on glycemic control of Teleconsultation versus standard visit in outpatient clinic for patients affected by type 1 diabetes mellitus.

The purpose of this project is to test the efficacy of Planet T1D, a mobile and web-based technology infrastructure specifically designed to (a) enhance youths' type 1 diabetes disease- and treatment-related knowledge through interactive and game-based educational materials; (b) support adherence to the treatment regimen through customized task prompts via mobile and web-based delivery; and (c) promote patient-provider communication through real-world data collection and feedback loops. Investigators will examine the effectiveness of the Planet T1D mobile app and website in improving treatment adherence, disease-related knowledge, transition readiness, condition management, and the psychological correlates of these variables in youth with type 1 diabetes.

Background: Based on international evidence, current management of people with T1DM on intensive insulin therapy (IIT) use algorithms based on the meal carbohydrate content (MCC) to calculate the prandial insulin dose. Typically, these calculations do not take into account the protein or fat content of the meal. There is a lack of clinical advice for optimal management of high protein/fat meals due to a paucity of evidence regarding the impact of protein/fat on glycaemic control. Objective: To determine the mean glucose excursion from fasting (measured by continuous glucose monitoring, CGMS) at each 30 minute interval over the 8 hour postprandial period for each test condition. Protein effects will be looked at in a separate parallel study in Australia. Hypothesis: The fat content of a meal will cause a dose-response change in the postprandial glucose concentration in children with T1DM. Research Design and Methods: Randomised cross-over study involving thirty patients. Inclusion criteria: T1DM >1 year, aged 8-18 years, with HbA1c <8% and BMI <91st centile, on intensive insulin therapy. Participants will be given a test meal on 6 consecutive nights in random order; 4 test meals varying in fat content, and one 20g carbohydrate test meal with zero fat given as control meal. A CGMS will be used to assess glucose responses at 5 minute intervals for 8 hours after test meal consumption. The relationship between the fat loads in the test meals and the mean change in postprandial glucose concentration will be analysed and described. Conclusions: This study will determine whether fat causes dose dependent response in glucose concentrations leading to refining the guidelines and possible adjustment of insulin doses for the fat content of a meal.

The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of CGM alone and CGM combined with a family behavioral intervention with a control group using home blood glucose monitoring (BGM) alone.

The aim of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of diluted insulin aspart (U25) with undiluted insulin aspart (U100) in school-aged children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) utilizing the euglycemic clamp technique and a standardized meal in a controlled research environment. The investigators hypothesize that dilution of insulin aspart (U25) will alter the PK properties as compared to undiluted aspart.

This is a single-center randomized crossover trial. The investigators will target completion of 15 adults (age 18-65 years) with Type 1 Diabetes who use an insulin pump. After completion of the Screening Visit, each subject will participate in a 28-day at home Data Collection Period while using their personal insulin pump, a personal glucometer, a study CGM, and a study activity tracker (i.e., Fitbit). This data collection period may be extended to obtain to gather more days of quality data, if needed per principal investigator judgement. Once the data has been collected and processed, subjects will participate in two 24-hour admissions (Experimental and Control Admission) in a semi-controlled environment (i.e., hotel), performed in the assigned random order. During both admissions, subjects will use the personal insulin pump and glucometer, and a study CGM. The exercise session will consist of three 15-minute bouts of moderate-intensity exercise (i.e., stationary bicycle). Subjects will be provided a controlled dinner; the SI-informed bolus calculator will be used in the Experimental Admission while standard therapy will be used in the Control Admission. Subjects will then be observed overnight and discharged in the following morning.

80 children and adolescents with Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 were enrolled in the study and were randomly assigned in the intervention group (Euglyca group) or in the control group. Patients in the Euglyca group were asked to use the application in order to calculate the bolus insulin dose. Primary outcomes of the study were the Glycosylated hemoglobin, percentage of normoglycemias and the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire Score. Patients were evaluated at the baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months after the beginning of the study.

This study has been designed as a prospectively enrolled, randomized sequence, 2-way crossover study of device performance, tolerability and safety of an investigational insulin infusion set using a coil-reinforced soft polymer indwelling cannula versus a commercial insulin infusion set using a soft Teflon indwelling cannula, during two 7-day home use periods with 4 in-clinic euglycemic clamp sessions during each of the 7-day periods. After a wash-out period, subjects will cross over into the investigational or control group, respectively.
