Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1"

The purpose of this study is to see if giving pramlintide and insulin before a meal would lower high blood sugar and if a glucagon (a naturally made hormone in the body but reduced in diabetes and its role is in prevention of low blood sugar) shot given in the late "after meal" time would prevent low blood sugar. The studies outlined in this proposal might help in developing new treatment options to target "after meal" high blood sugar and before meal low blood sugar in children. This would possibly help improve overall blood sugar control and prevent the long-term complications of diabetes.

Osteoporosis is a condition that describes compromised skeletal microarchitecture in general, with clinical signs of decreased bone mineral density. Diabetes mellitus patients are at increased risk for developing osteoporosis. Identifying whether multiple sclerosis patients have information and awareness about this disease is crucial. This study is aimed to investigate awareness and knowledge of osteoporosis in diabetes mellitus patients.

Type 1 diabetes is the most common endocrine disorder in children and adolescents. It is characterised by a deficiency in insulin synthesis and requires daily insulin injections to manage glucose levels. Therefore, there are numerous medical approaches to its therapy, such as levels of glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) as a marker of glycaemic control during the last 3 months and monitoring of blood glucose levels, influencing the mental health and the quality of life of the patient and family. Hens, the importance of the psychological adjustment to children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes besides insulin injection, adequate diet and regular exercise rises, in order to maintain stable psychological status and functional mental health, and prevent psychological disorders such as anxiety, depression and sleep disorders. Approaching the comorbidity in these children and adolescents starts with the diagnosis and with the health changes in all aspects.

The most common endocrine illness in children and adolescents is type 1 diabetes. It is distinguished by a lack of insulin synthesis and necessitates daily insulin injections to keep glucose levels under control. As a result, there are numerous medical approaches to its management, such as levels of glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) as a marker of glycemic control during the previous three months and monitoring of blood glucose levels, which affect the patient's mental health and quality of life. Type 1 diabetes complications and poor quality of life are widespread. Diabetes therapy is difficult during puberty and adolescence. Adolescents with T1D have poor metabolic control and a higher rate of acute complications. Because the onset of adolescence is frequently associated with decreased adherence to therapy and an increased risk of psychological illnesses.

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is a heterogeneous condition and is an absolute insulin deficiency resulting from autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β-cells (1). The incidence of T1DM has been increasing globally since the 1950s, particularly in children, with an average annual increase of 3-4% over the past three decades.Despite the advances in medical treatment and technology, nutritional therapy continues to be the main component of diabetes treatment. Medical nutrition further improves metabolic control outcomes when T1DM care is combined with other treatments.This study was conducted to examine the effect of family-based behavioral medical nutrition therapy training on nutritional status and metabolic control in children and adolescents with Type 1 diabetes.

Background : The benefits of good glycemic control are clearly established. However, achieving glycemic targets comes at the expense of the risk of hypoglycemia. Repeated episodes of severe hypoglycemia can affect long-term cognitive function, especially in developing brains. Fear of hypoglycemia, both in children and their parents, has an impact on participation in physical activity, quality of life and optimal diabetes control. During an episode of severe hypoglycemia, i.e., when accompanied by severe cognitive dysfunction requiring assistance from others, it is impossible to administer oral glucose. Glucagon administration is particularly useful in this situation, as it rapidly raises blood glucose levels and restores consciousness. Injectable glucagon was the only form approved in Canada prior to 2019. A new formulation of glucagon for intranasal administration has recently been approved by Health Canada. The arrival of this formulation seems promising because of its ease of use while ensuring similar efficacy to injectable glucagon. Furthermore, the ease of learning how to use each of the devices through a simple multimedia tool is unknown. Indeed, current studies have not focused on a virtual teaching method. The latter is of particular interest in the context of a pandemic and in order to make information more accessible to a broader population that may not be present at family glucagon education (e.g., school-based caregivers). Objective : Compare the performance (time to prepare and administer, success rate) of the intranasal versus injectable glucagon administration procedure after a short video training 3 months earlier among parents/primary caregivers and school workers who may administer glucagon to children with type 1 diabetes. Secondary objectives : To assess stakeholder administration procedure preferences for the two glucagon formulations in the two groups ; To explore the barriers and emotional impact (fears, perceptions, stress, etc.) related to the use of intranasal and injectable glucagon in both groups; Explore the participants' preferences in relation to the teaching method of administering the two forms of glucagon.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease with absence of insulin secretion. Blood sugar is a physiological variable that reflets for blood glucose concentration. Blood sugar level fluctuates, especially during physical activity. Sports activity would increase insulin sensitivity, improve lifestyle and, by extension, promote glycemic balance. However, glycemic balance will be disturbed by physical activity with higher risk of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. Moreover, hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia will impact body functions. Perceptions of blood sugar variations during physical exercise and their influences on sports performance have not been studied, whether in type 1 diabetes patients or healthy subjects.

Prospective, multi-center, single-arm study in adults and children ages 6 to 80 with type 1 diabetes to evaluate the safety of Lyumjev with Control-IQ technology to achieve labeling updates for Lyumjev and the t:slim X2 insulin pump.

The purpose of this study is to learn how different resistance training programs affects blood sugar in young athletes with T1DM.

The investigators conducted this randomized-controlled trial to assess the effect of oral omega-3 supplementation on glycemic control, lipid profile, albuminuria level, kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) to participants who were pediatric patients with T1DM and diabetic nephropathy.
