Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1"

It has been reported that insulin basal rate reduction initiated at exercise onset can reduce the hypoglycemic risk during exercise. However, another potentially more efficient strategy to prevent exercise-induced hypoglycemia could be to reduce insulin basal rate a certain time prior to exercise. The objective of this study will be to compare the efficacy of two strategies to prevent exercise-induced hypoglycemia during a 60-minute exercise at moderate intensity: 1) reduce insulin basal rate 40 minutes prior to exercise; 2) reduce insulin basal rate 90 minutes prior to exercise.

Allogenic adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells will be injected into patients newly diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

The aim of the study is to establish whether routine usage of the FreeStyle Libre™ system (Abbott) improves satisfaction and quality of sleep in patients hospitalized for poor glycemic control with an indication for external insulin pump treatment.

The purpose of this study is to test whether anakinra is able to reduce insulin resistance. This will be tested in overweighted type I diabetes mellitus patients, which have no residual beta-cell function. By using this patient group, all positive effects on glycemic control should be the consequence of improved insulin sensitivity.

The translational potential to the clinical applications of cord blood stem cells has increased enormously in recent years, mainly because of its unique advantages including no risk to the donor, no ethical issues, low risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), rapid availability, and large resource worldwide. Human cord blood contains several types of stem cells such as the umbilical cord blood-derived multipotent stem cells (CB-SC). CB-SC possess multiple biological properties including the expression of embryonic stem (ES) cell characteristics, giving rise to different types of cells and immune modulation. Specifically, CB-SC can function as an immune modulator that can lead to control of the immune responses, which could in turn be used as a new approach to overcome the autoimmunity of Type 1 diabetes (T1D) in patients1 and nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice. Here, the investigators develop a novel Stem Cell Educator therapy by using CB-SC and explore the therapeutic effectiveness of Educator therapy in T1D patients.

The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of a closed-loop system consisting of a predictive rule-based algorithm integrated on the Medtronic Portable Glucose Control System (PGCS) in patients with type 1 diabetes for controlling the nocturnal and post-breakfast periods. Intervention will be to apply the automated closed-loop system by administering a subcutaneous insulin microbolus every 5 minutes depending on reading from a continuous glucose measurement (CGM) system.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease that usually occurs in children and reduces their pancreatic islet beta cells and thereby limits insulin production. Millions of individuals worldwide have T1D, and the number of children with diagnosed or undiagnosed T1D is increasing annually. Insulin supplementation is not a cure. It does not halt the persistent autoimmune response, nor can it reliably prevent devastating complications such as neuronal and cardiovascular diseases, blindness, and kidney failure. A true cure has proven elusive despite intensive research pressure over the past 25 years. Notably, Dr.Zhao and his team have successfully developed a groundbreaking technology Stem Cell Educator therapy (Zhao Y, et al.BMC Medicine 2011, 2012). To date, clinical trials in adult patients have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of Stem Cell Educator therapy for the treatment of T1D and other autoimmune-associated diseases. Here, the investigators will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Stem Cell Educator therapy in children with type 1 diabetes.

The Purpose of the study is to to evaluate the performance of the SOLO (version 2.0) micropump insulin delivery system, in Type 1 diabetic patients who use insulin pumps for their treatment.

Segment 1- this segment will include two main steps: Step 1-Calibration: During this step we plan to collect paired measurements of capillary blood glucose using reference method and data generated by the non invasive study device. Samples will be obtained at specific time points during 4 hours: at fasting, and after consuming standard liquid meal at 60, 120, 180 and 240 minutes. At each time point capillary blood glucose will be measured using the invasive reference method. The paired reference and study device data will be analyzed using multivariate regression model to formulate a calibration algorithm model. This model will convert the acetone values measured by study device to blood glucose values. step 2-Validation: During this segment the second step of this segment we plan to evaluate the validity and reliability of the non-invasive breath-based glucometer compared to standard invasive reference glucometer. Results will be compared using a Clark error grid. Segment 2- During this segment we plan to collect paired measurements of capillary blood glucose beta Hydroxybutyrate using reference method and acetone values generated by the non invasive breath based study device. Samples will be obtained at specific time points during 4 hours after overnight fasting, while basal insulin will be suspended, which is accepted to produce ketosis.

The Diabetes Interactive Diary (DID) is both a CHO (carbohydrates )/insulin bolus calculator, an information technology and a telemedicine system based on the communication between health care professional and patient by SMS messages. Aim of the study is to compare an insulin regimen of insulin glargine + prandial insulin glulisine associated with a telemedicine system to teach CHO counting (DID) with the same insulin regimen administered according to usual practice.
