Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1"

This study proposes to examine the contribution of CFTR variants to exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and hypoglycemic risk. Hypoglycemia is one the most frequent complications of type 1 diabetes management. Despite recent innovations, hypoglycemic risk remains high for people living with type 1 diabetes (PWT1D). Recent studies have shown that pancreatic insufficiency could affect hypoglycemic risk. Up to now, there are limited data on the association between pancreatic insufficiency and glucose control (i.e. the frequency and severity of hypoglycemic episodes as well as HbA1c levels). The main objective of this study is to determine the impact of pancreatic insufficiency on glucose control in PWT1D, and to address the role of CFTR variants as potential contributors to pancreatic insufficiency.

Retrospective multicenter study analyzing data gathered from medical records and diabetes management platforms to assess the effect of using Insulin Degludec (Tresiba®) on measures of diabetes control. People with type 1 diabetes who switched to Insulin Degludec from another basal insulin between 1/5/2019 and 1/6/2021 will be included. Glycemic control from 12 months before the switch to Insulin Degludec will be compared to glycemic control of the 12 months after the switch.

Retrospective multicenter study analyzing data gathered during the FUTURE study (S59342) to assess the effect of using Insulin Glargine 300 U/mL (Gla-300) on measures of diabetes control and quality of life. Of the FUTURE participants, data about the type of insulin the participants used will be gathered. On the basis of these data participants will be divided in two groups (control or investigational). Change in glycemic control and quality of life from before to after the switch to Gla-300 (investigational group) will be compared to the change of glycemic control and quality of life of the FUTURE participants who did not switch to Gla-300 (control group). The FUTURE study was a 24-month during multicenter observational cohort study analyzing data on the use of the Abbott Freestyle Libre in people with diabetes. Data were gathered during standard clinical follow-up, and from questionnaires that were presented to the participants at defined time points.

Aim: Dietary carbohydrate is the predominant macronutrient affecting postprandial blood glucose excursions, dietary fat and protein can also significantly impact the postprandial glycemic profile. The aim of this study is to compare the impact of additional dose of extended insulin bolus; using Pankowsko algorithm (PA) to usual standard carbohydrate counting (CC) on postprandial glucose excursions for high fat /high energy density mixed meal for 12 hours. Methods: In this single-center, non-blinded, randomized, crossover study a high fat, high energy density test meal containing 80 gram carbohydrate (34%), 70 gram fat (66%) and 35 g protein (14%) was given using standard carbohydrate counting (CC) on the first test day and PA was used for the second test day for the same meal. Two methods were compared on postprandial early (0-120 min), late (120-720 min) and total (0-720 min) glucose response in 20 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), aged 9-18 years on continuous subcutan insulin infusion (CSII) therapy using continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS).

The aims of this study are two fold: To show whether there is an increased environmental or genetic susceptibility to stress in patients with T1D and whether it influences diabetes management. And to develop a strategy for the assessment and treatment of patients with T1D and an increased risk for development of psychopathology under stress.

Observational study about effectiveness and safety of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion compared to multiple dose insulin injections in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) adult patients in routine clinical practice.

The aims of this study are to examine the differences in the quality of life among individuals with type 1 diabetes and individuals without chronic diseases, differences in the quality of life among men and women with type 1 diabetes and the differences in the quality of life among individuals with good and poor glycaemic control. The relationship between personality traits and the management of disease in patients with type 1 diabetes will also be examined.

Background Type 1 diabetes is characterized by pancreatic beta-cell destruction and an inability to synthesize insulin. Connecting peptide (C-peptide) is formed from the same precursor as insulin and is produced in equimolar amounts as insulin. There are several clinical trials currently being performed to explore the possibility of beta-cell preservation or regeneration. Most children are not eligible for these trials because it is often presumed that C-peptide levels will decrease and become undetectable after years of having type 1 diabetes. Several studies in the adult population have demonstrated that C-peptide may remain measureable in patients who have had diabetes for up to 50 years after diagnosis. Recently, it was demonstrated that 10% of adult patients who have had type 1 diabetes for 31-40 years have measureable levels of serum C-peptide if measured with an ultrasensitive assay. The levels were lower in patients who had diabetes for a longer time. This pattern was also demonstrated in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) and NHANES trial. No studies have been performed exclusively in pediatric patients Hypothesis The investigators hypothesize that C-peptide should be detectable in the sera of pediatric patients who have had type 1 diabetes for greater than 1 year and as far out as > 20 years after diagnosis. The investigators also hypothesize that since their patient population has had diabetes for less time as compared to adults, the levels of C-peptide should be higher than reported for adults and that a greater proportion of patients in the pediatric population will have detectable C-peptide levels as compared to adults.

A multicenter randomized controlled trial testing the app "Young with Diabetes"

To evaluate the effect of Gluten Free Diet (GFD) on beta-cell function and glucose metabolism in subjects with one or several islet autoantibodies without and with dysglycemia at baseline. Additionally, all subjects will be given treatment with Vitamin D, omega fatty acids and probiotics. Subjects will be randomized to GFD or normal diet during 18 months. Beta cell function will be evaluated at baseline, and during follow-up by glucose tolerance tests.
