Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1"

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) affects approximately 2 million Americans, and only 2 in 8 young adults ages 18-30 years achieve glycemic targets (glycated hemoglobin A1C <7.0%). Achieving glycemic targets is associated with reduced risk of micro-and macrovascular complications. Sleep deprivation leads to impaired glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in adults without chronic conditions and with T1D. Promoting sleep in laboratory and natural environments contributes to improvements in insulin sensitivity, glucose levels, and distress symptoms in young adults without chronic conditions and more time in range in adolescents with T1D. Multiple dimensions of sleep health (alertness, timing, efficiency, and sleep duration) are associated with better achievement of glycemic targets in adults with T1D. Therefore, sleep health dimensions are appropriate therapeutic targets to improve glucoregulation and other diabetes self-management outcomes in this population. Our primary objective is to evaluate the immediate and short-term effects of a 12-week CB-sleep intervention compared to enhanced usual care (time balanced attention control) on actigraphy- and self-report derived sleep health dimensions and diabetes self-management outcomes (glycemia and distress symptoms) over 9-months (Stage II of the NIH Model for Behavior Change, ORBIT phase III). CB-sleep is guided by principles and practices from motivational interviewing and the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change with interactive stage-matched sessions.

The study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of computerized GlucoMe App in patients with uncontrolled diabetes treated with MDI.

Dietary supplementation with antioxidant vitamins, such as Vitamin C and Vitamin E, reduces malformation rates in embryos of diabetic animals. However, human trials exploring the benefits of these antioxidant vitamins have produced unsatisfactory results in trials designed to alleviating diabetic retinopathy, cardiovascular disease, and preeclampsia in pregnancies. The investigators hypothesize that more potent, and better-targeted antioxidants, such as N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids(PUFA), will be successful in preventing birth defects in the offspring of women with diabetes.

A single center pilot study assessing the Vigilant Diabetes Management System for the prevention of recurrent mild to moderate hypoglycemia in type I diabetes patients.

The aims of the study are to see if additional insulin doses for the fat and protein in a meal, given at different times, improve blood glucose levels and are safe and acceptable to children with Type 1 diabetes using multiple daily insulin injections.

The management goals of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in the pediatric type 1 diabetes (T1DM) population are fluid and electrolyte repletion, insulin administration, and correction of acidosis in order to stabilize the patient. Traditionally, a rapid-acting insulin IV infusion is begun immediately and continued until the acidosis is corrected and hyperglycemia normalized. Once the acidosis is corrected, patients are able to be transitioned to a subcutaneous insulin regimen. The role that a subcutaneous long-acting insulin such as glargine has in the acute treatment of DKA has not been extensively studied. While giving glargine during the treatment of DKA is becoming more common place, few studies have examined the potential risks and benefits of its use. This study will investigate the effects of early administration of glargine during DKA in patients with newly diagnosed TIDM. The design of this study is a prospective, double-blind study of children ages 2-21 who are admitted to the hospital in DKA with a diagnosis of T1DM. The control group will receive all traditional methods of treatment for DKA, including a placebo subcutaneous injection. The study group will receive the same treatment, but will be supplemented with a subcutaneous glargine injection.

The MDI (Multiple Daily Injections) plus SMBG |(Self Monitoring Blood Glucose) Advisor (MPSA) is a software product that is designed to assist in insulin dosage decision making for subjects with T1DM using multiple daily injection and SMBG. The study will focus on the development, validation and eventually testing of the MPSA algorithm use. The major objective of the project is to develop an algorithm that will be able to optimize treatment plan parameters of MDI patients who use SMBG as glucose monitoring method. The clinical study has two segments. Segment A is an observational study needed for the development of the algorithm (this segment was already completed at the time of the registration) and Segment B is a proof of concept interventional study to validate the algorithm's Safety and Efficacy. Up to 20 patients using MDI and SMBG or Flash Glucose Monitoring (FGM) without using glucose trends will be enrolled to this proof of concept study. The study will evaluate the algorithm use for a period of 11 weeks. Post screening, patients will undergo a two weeks run-in period while using MDI and SMBG or FGM (patients that do not use FGM will be provided with blinded Libre Flash to be used during the run-in period and 2 weeks prior to arriving to end of study visit). Then, patients will undergo insulin treatment plan changes every week for 7 weeks. At the first 3 weeks insulin dose adjustments will be done for basal insulin dose only, week 4 will be without changes, and in the next 3 weeks the carbohydrate ratio will be amended. No recommendations will be given during the last two weeks of the study. These two weeks will be used for data analysis. Each recommendation of the Advisor will be approved by a physician before implementation. Glucose outcomes will be evaluated comparing the two weeks run-in period to the last two weeks of the study.

This is a single arm open label pilot clinical trial that will assess patient-reported blood glucose levels before and after using the Control:Diabetes mobile app, while collecting user feedback and recommendations for further improvements to the app functionality and user interface. This study will enroll approximately 70 individuals with insulin-treated diabetes mellitus. The study will include two online surveys (baseline and exit), one study initiation phone call, and will also collect data entered by the users into the mobile app.

This study is testing program where teens with type 1 diabetes play Meta Quest 2 virtual reality exercise games and talk, act, and paint about physical activity in virtual meetings with their peers and young adult role models. The outcomes are feasibility and user satisfaction.

The project is a descriptive cohort study with a retrospective and a prospective group where pregnancy and childbirth data will be studied. Mothers with DM1, DM2, GDM hand-milk 2 times/day from v.36+0, freeze the colostrum they receive and bring it to delivery ward. The colostrum will then be given instead of milk substitutes for their children postpartum. The primary questions are whether there is any statistical difference between a group that provides only colostrum compared to an equal retrospective group, which has only been given milk substitutes, in the case of neonatal hypoglycemia in the first 24 hours postpartum. Secondly: 10 healthy women and 10women with DM1 will provide analysis of colostrum at week 36 of pregnancy. The secondary question is if there is any differences in colostrum whether the mother is healthy or has DMtype1
