Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1"

Therapeutic education is central to the management of diabetes, especially in children and adolescents. Camps represent an ideal environment for education. During camps, the campers receive both theoretical and practical information intended to improve their understanding and self-management of diabetes. The metabolic impact of diabetes camp is little known among children and adolescents living with type 1 diabetes in sub-Saharan Africa. The aimed of this study was to assess the changes in glycemic control and insulin doses in a group of children and adolescents living with type 1 diabetes in Cameroon during and after camp.

There is an increasing trend in the society for developing obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. It is therefore important to identify the risk factors behind this tendency. Recent studies have shown that exposure to high blood sugar levels in pregnancy (as in mothers with type 1 diabetes) may play a role in the development of obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases later in life for the children. Some studies suggest that high blood sugar levels during pregnancy can also affects cognitive function as well as growth and development of puberty. The mechanisms behind this are not sufficiently clarified yet. In the period 1993-1999, pregnant women with type 1 diabetes in Denmark were followed and information about the course of pregnancy was collected, including the long-term blood sugar level during pregnancy and the children's' condition at birth. The unique opportunities in Denmark to identify and follow the children of these mothers and the possibility to select a comparison group of children of non-diabetic mothers gives a unique opportunity to examine the children of mothers with type 1 diabetes and accurately investigate the effect of blood sugar levels in pregnancy on conditions later in life. There has not previously been made any study of this size and it is the investigators hope to be able to quantify the effect of blood sugar level during pregnancy on outcomes later in life. This will potentially give the possibility to detect individuals at risk for cardiovascular diseases earlier and to improve prevention targets in children of mothers with diabetes.

The effects of high serum glucose on bone could be direct or could be indirect through its effects on the microvasculature. Previous studies by Rendell et al and Brugler et al have found significant differences in skin blood flow between diabetics and control. The investigators are proposing that blood flow measurements of the skin may be correlated with bone remodeling rates in iliac bone biopsies.

This study is conducted in Japan. The aim of this study is to collect safety and efficacy data when using insulin aspart in children with diabetes under normal clinical practice conditions.

This study is conducted in Japan. The aim of this study is to evaluate the incidence of severe hypoglycaemia under normal clinical practice.

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.

To test a text messaging intervention using MyDiaText and financial incentives to determine whether such an intervention will improve self-reported self-care behaviors in children 12 to 18 years old. The intervention will consist of daily text messages sent to the subject's personal mobile device. Subjects will be incentivized to respond to text messages via a lottery financial incentive. Previously developed text messages based on the American Diabetes Association (ADA) behavior goals will be used for this intervention.

The purpose of this study is to compare LY900014 with insulin lispro (Humalog) in elderly and younger adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Screening is required within 28 days prior to the start of the study. For each participant, the total duration of the clinical trial will be between 3 to 8 weeks.

On the first of July 2016, reimbursement for the Freestyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring (FGM) was introduced by the Belgian healthcare authority by means of a new diabetes convention. Making this the only way to receive the device in Belgium. Since then, many type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients switched to FGM. But some patients found the sensor on the upper arm too visible. Abbott does not recommend to place the sensor on a different place of the body than the back of the upper arm, because no tests were done yet (besides on the upper arm) to make an accuracy claim. With this study, we want to evaluate the accuracy and the precision of the Freestyle Libre FGM by using three FGM sensors simultaneously on different places of the body and perform regular self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) tests.
