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.

Siblings of those with type 1 diabetes are at an increased risk of developing the disease themselves. Through prior research, the investigators have found that siblings as well as those with type 1 diabetes have a general level of inflammation in the body. The investigators are examining the role that diet plays in this level of inflammation by asking siblings of children with type 1 diabetes to go on a gluten and Amylase Trypsin Inhibitors (ATI)-free diet for 4 weeks. Blood and stool samples will be measured before the diet, after the diet is completed and again 4 weeks after participants resume their normal diet.

The purpose of this study is to collect information about Fiasp® to evaluate how effective Fiasp® is in treating elevated blood sugar in patients with type 1 diabetes, compared with the participant's previous insulin treatment. The study will also assess how satisfied the participants are with the treatment with Fiasp® and the impact of the treatment on quality of life. The study has also been set up to learn more about how effective Fiasp® is in controlling the glucose levels during the day and night. The duration of the study is expected to be approximately 2 years. The participation is expected to be approximately 6-8 months for each patient.

This study will examine the impact of a closed-loop insulin delivery system intervention on health and psychological outcomes in families with young children with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).

Investigators aim to further the understanding of environmental factors that underlie the progression to Type 1 diabetes (T1D). Dysbiosis, defined as alterations in intestinal microbiota composition and function, has been hypothesized to increase the risk of developing T1D in those with genetic susceptibility. Dysbiosis may result from modern dietary habits, such as broad consumption of the highly processed Western Diet, or by widespread use of antibiotics. Here, investigators propose to examine the impact of dysbiosis on the endogenous innate inflammation known to exist within families affected by T1D and if probiotic supplementation may beneficially modulate this inflammatory state. Participants will be asked to take the probiotic VSL#3 daily for six weeks. Stool and blood samples will be analyzed before and after the six week course of probiotics.

The objectives of this clinical study is to evaluate the efficacy continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) use on glucose variability (GV) in preschool children with T1D treated with CSII. Downloads from CGM and CSII saved in pdf from will be retrospectively reviewed and analysed for all preschool children with type 1 diabetes in Slovenia. Glucose variability and other glycemic parameters will be analyzed separately for periods when CGM was used (CGM and SMBG data) and compared to periods when CGM was not used (SMBG only data).

In the present project the investigators will evaluate whether glucagonotropic properties of the gut-derived incretin hormone glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) may be utilized as a safeguard against hypoglycemia in the daily life of participants with type 1 Diabetes

Introduction. Sensor Augmented Pump has demonstrated superiority over insulin pump and Multiple Daily Injection (MDI) in achieving optimal glucose control and can improve quality of life in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) patients. Hybrid closed loop (HCL) insulin pump Minimed 670G is a FDA approved device and European Conformity (CE) mark with SmartGuard technology and closed loop algorithm, which will allow the patients to improve their diabetes management. Hybrid closed loop insulin pump Minimed 670G monitors glucose in the subcutaneous tissues and automatically adjusts the delivery of rapid acting insulin as basal rate based on the user's glucose reading. SmartGuard technology in insulin pump, based on user's sensor glucose values can predict when glucose is approaching low levels, 30 minutes in advance and automatically stop insulin delivery. When user's glucose levels recover, SmartGuard will automatically resume insulin delivery. CareLink is personal software, which downloads the data from insulin pump, glucose sensor and glucometer to visualize diabetes information with charts, statistics and events that help patient and health provider to identify and understand patterns and trends The objective of this study is to assess structured group education on boarding protocol of the HCL Minimed 670 G in achieving glucose control of patients on MDI. Methods. This study is a single-arm, single-center, clinical investigation in subjects with type 1 diabetes on HCL insulin pump (Minimed 670G) in a period of 3 months. A total of 30 subjects (age 6 - 17) will be enrolled in order to reach 26 subjects who will complete the HCL study. The investigators will start the clinical process for initiating an insulin pump, which is typically done with pre-pump classes. HbA1c, derived from CGM will be performed at baseline and 3 months during the study. The following parameters will be analyzed: % patients achieving Time in Range (TIR) > 67% from 70 mg/dl to 180 mg/dl; % patients achieving TIR <3%, below time in range (<70 mg/dl) and % patients achieving both TIR > 67% and <3% time below Range. Collection of demographics and medical history, data for diabetes devices (eg meters, sensors, pumps) and brief clinical physical exam including vital signs and skin assessment will be obtained via Hospital Electronic Medical File (Cerner Millennium, North Kansas City, US) and will be kept as electronic data on a separate research server.

The objective is to develop a novel system to predict and prevent nocturnal hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetic (T1D) patients, focused in patients with multiple daily injections (MDI) therapy. The general idea is to make use of previous-day information in the moment when patients go to sleep, and then predict if in the next following hours any hypoglycemic event will occur. If the system will have predicted any hypoglycemic event in that moment, it is expected that it will be able to warn the patient to take some action: such as reduce basal insulin dose or to consume a snack before sleep. 10 patients with T1D for more than five years will be included. It is a longitudinal, prospective, interventional study in which every patient will use intermittently scanned Continuous Glucose Monitoring (isCGM) and a physical activity tracker during 12 weeks. Moreover, during this period, patients will store in a mobile application (Freestyle LibreLink) or in a reader information regarding their diabetes management activities, such as insulin delivery doses and meal consumption.

Behavioral family therapy, specifically focused on insuring support for the primary caregiver of a child with type one diabetes mellitus and healthy family dynamics, may improve the child's glycemic control as measured by hemoglobin A1c level (HbA1c).
