Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1"

Type 1 diabetes mellitus is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune cells attack the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. Several environmental and genetic factors may predispose individuals to developing this disease, including changes in a gene called CD152. This study will examine how this gene may influence the development of insulin-dependent diabetes. Patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus enrolled in clinical trials at the National Institutes of Health and at the University of Florida and healthy normal volunteers may participate in this study. Participants will have up to three blood samples drawn over a period of less than 1 year. The first sample (about 20 milliliters, or 4 teaspoons), will be examined for changes in the structure of the CD152 gene. If the CD152 structure is different from that normally seen in the general population, a second sample (about 90 ml, or 6 tablespoons of blood) will be drawn. This sample will be used to study the function of specialized immune system cells (T cells), including their growth and survival, chemicals they produce when stimulated, and other factors. If these cells function differently from what is generally seen in the population, a third sample (90 ml) will be drawn for more detailed studies. This investigation may help explain what makes certain individuals susceptible to Type 1 diabetes mellitus and may contribute to the development of improved treatments for the disease.

To test the hypothesis that remote sharing of health data - including measured blood glucose values as well as patient-reported carbohydrate counts and insulin doses - with the UC Davis Pediatric Diabetes team via connected health applications is feasible for pediatric patients with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes.

Given the high risk of severe SARS-CoV-2 infection, patients with T1D and T2D should represent a priority group to receive the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. There are currently no studies on diabetic population response to mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. Therefore, in this observational cohort study, investigators will retrospectively analyze the safety and immunogenicity of the mRNA vaccines in eliciting both the humoral and cellular immune response in a subset of patients with T1D who already underwent blood sampling for measuring humoral response against SARSCoV2 for healthcare purposes and based on the clinical practice guidelines. Results will be compared with those obtained in non-diabetic individuals or in patients with non-autoimmune diabetes (T2D).

The objective of this research is to determine the most informative variables for detecting exercise, acute stress and sleep, identify select sensors that report these variables, and develop the algorithms to detect the occurrence of exercise, stress and sleep, to discriminate them and to determine their characteristics. Research is needed to identify which wearable devices report the most informative and predictive variables of exercise, acute stress and sleep with desired precision and accuracy, determine the best location to wear them for collecting reliable and informative data, and to distill accurate knowledge from data reported by wearable sensors. Data and their interpretation should be informative for various types of physical activities, stages of sleep, and types and intensities of acute stress, and concurrent occurrence of these factors. The investigators will use several devices (chest band, wristband and skin patches) to collect data and evaluate their information content and contribution to improvement of glucose concentration prediction, best locations for collecting accurate and reliable information by conducting clinical and free-living experiments at-home to assess the contributions of the wearable device in improving the accuracy of glucose concentration prediction and the performance of the multivariable artificial pancreas.

Lockdown resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic was an unpreceded model of the impact of lifestyle on chronic diseases, especially for adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) whose lifestyle is known to strongly impact disease management. The investigators aimed to assess changes in self-monitoring and glycemic control in this population before, during, and after the two-month French lockdown. Te investigators hypothesized an improvement in glucose control and glucose sensor usage. The protocol will include all patients with T1D from 13 to 25 years old using a flash glucose monitoring related to the LibreView cloud platform. The primary outcome, evolution of percentage of glucose time in range 70-180 mg/dL (TIR), and secondary outcomes (glucose management indicator GMI, time spent below range TBR, and sensor usage) will be analyzed with a linear mixed-effects regression model.

Data on switching from traditional mealtime insulins to fast-acting insulin aspart (Fiasp) in routine clinical practice are sparse. The aim was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of switching from traditional mealtime insulin to Fiasp in a "real-world" clinical practice setting in people with type 1 diabetes in Belgium.

Observational cross-sectional multicenter study about effectiveness of two different sensor augmented-pumps with low glucose predictive function in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) adult patients in routine clinical practice.

This project explores the feasibility and utility of remote glucose monitoring for a cohort of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) cared for at UC Davis Health (UCDH).

A prospective monocentric " before and after " study, ruled in 2 periods of 3 months : during the first period, the patient will adjust insulin treatment as usual, during the second period, the patient will adjust insulin treatment with IRTA support

Impaired hypoglycemia awareness, a significant problem for children with type 1 diabetes, is defined as neurogenic symptom response before autonomic response to hypoglycemia. Avoiding hypoglycemia appears to restore hypoglycemia awareness. Investigators have previously demonstrated in a retrospective study that Flash Glucose Monitoring system decreased the risk of severe hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetic children and adolescents, even though Flash Glucose Monitoring system, unlike Continuous Glucose Monitoring system, does not provide glucose alerts. Continuous Glucose Monitoring system, by providing real-time data with alarms, could benefit to subjects still experiencing severe hypoglycemia with Flash Glucose Monitoring system. Besides, in adults, Continuous Glucose Monitoring system reduced more effectively impaired hypoglycemia awareness compared to Flash Glucose Monitoring system. In that context, investigators would like to assess the impact of Continuous Glucose Monitoring system instead of Flash Glucose Monitoring system on hypoglycemia in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
