Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1"

There are many recent advances in insulin treatment of type 1 diabetes, however after a meal sugars are always a concern. There is a drug sitagliptin (Januvia) which is FDA approved to treat people with type 2 diabetes which helps correct their glucoses (sugars) after meals. This study is going to test whether this drug can improve the after meal sugars in people with type 1 diabetes. To test this you will be given a test mixed meal and its effects on insulin, other hormones that affect blood glucose as well as your sugar will be measured by a series of blood tests. Insulin dose will be reduced by 20-50% to prevent low blood sugars which might occur because of food staying longer in the stomach than usual or due to the suppression of a hormone called glucagon which increases blood sugar. If you qualify you will be given sitagliptin (Januvia) 3 different times in 25 mg, 50 mg and 100mg dosages. You and the researchers will not know which dose you are taking at any single visit. A total of 30 people in which some will be children aged 13- 17 and others will be adults aged 18-30 will participate. Some will have had diabetes for over a year, others will be within 3 months of having been found to have type 1 diabetes. Furthermore, only 18-30 year people who are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes for a year or more will be studied initially (4 subjects) to establish safety data before younger subjects are enrolled into the study.

Introduction: The purpose of the pivotal In Home study is to collect clinical data on the safety and efficacy of the Paradigm LGS System in the actual use environment and by the intended use population. ASPIRE is a multi-center, in home, randomized parallel adaptive study design with type 1 diabetes. The study will compare A1C and CGM based nocturnal hypoglycemic events in a treatment arm to a control arm. Arms are defined as: Treatment Arm (LGS ON) using Paradigm® VEO™ Pump Control Arm (NO LGS FEATURE ) using Paradigm® Revel™2.0 Pump The study's objectives are two-fold: The first study objective is to demonstrate that home use of Low Glucose Suspend (LGS) is safe and is not associated with glycemic deterioration, as measured by change in A1C from baseline to end of study participation. The second study objective is to demonstrate that home use of Low Glucose Suspend (LGS) is associated with reduction in nocturnal hypoglycemia when patients fail to respond. Primary Safety Endpoint: The change in A1C from randomization to the end of the treatment period will be used to demonstrate that the automatic insulin delivery suspension (LGS ON) does not result in an unacceptable worsening of glycemic control.

In this research study the investigators want more about how being in a group about diabetes helps your family versus individual treatment. The investigators are now asking youth with recently diagnosed (<1 year) diabetes and their parents to be in the research, because the investigators want to see if this diabetes group and/or individual therapy is helpful to your coping, adjustment, and family communication about diabetes.

"Closed loop artificial pancreas" systems have been under development for the control of blood sugars in those living with diabetes. These systems consist of a continuous glucose sensor, which sends a signal to a computer program that automatically determines how much insulin to give. The computer program then tells an insulin pump to deliver the insulin. While such systems have been tested under a number of conditions, post-meal blood sugars are difficult to control. This study is designed to see if liraglutide, a glucagon like peptide receptor agonist, can help minimize the post meal blood sugar spikes in subjects with type 1 diabetes while they are on a closed loop system.

This trial is conducted in Europe and the United States of America (USA). The aim of the trial is to investigate efficacy and safety of FIAsp (faster-acting insulin aspart) compared to insulin aspart, both in combination with insulin detemir in adults with type 1 diabetes. This trial consists of two periods: a 26 week treatment period followed by a 26 week additional treatment period.

The investigators are hoping to figure out how youth with type 1 diabetes can best control their blood glucose levels after meals, by determining whether accurate carbohydrate dosing or the timing of the bolus is more important. There is evidence to suggest that each strategy is important for blood glucose control. Unfortunately, for some people, prebolusing is difficult, because they may not know how much they are going to eat. To give an exact dose of insulin 20 minutes before a meal can be difficult. In this study, the investigators would like to show that taking even just part of the insulin bolus 20 minutes before the meal is preferable to waiting until mealtime and taking the entire bolus. To do this, the investigators will have 24 patients in the study, who will each spend 4 mornings at The investigators clinic. The order of the visits will be selected randomly. The visits will include: taking full bolus at mealtime, taking full bolus 20 minute before mealtime, taking ½ bolus at mealtime, and taking ½ bolus 20 minutes before mealtime. At each visit, the person will eat the same meal, but the timing and amount of the bolus will be different. The investigators will measure the blood glucose levels with a blood glucose meter, and also with a laboratory test called YSI. The investigators will also be measuring the glucose levels under the person's skin with a continuous glucose monitor. The investigators will compare the area under the curve for the different visits, as well as the glucose levels at different points after the meal.

To study the effects of GLP 1 analogues and DPP 4 inhibitors on newly detected type 1 diabetes patients.

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this clinical trial is to compare the blood glucose lowering effect of NN5401(insulin degludec/insulin aspart (IDegAsp)) with NN1250 (insulin degludec (IDeg)) and insulin aspart (IAsp) in subjects with type 1 diabetes where the trial participant will receive one single dose of each trial product in varying order.

This trial is conducted in Africa, Europe and the United States of America (USA). The aim of the trial is to compare NN1250 (insulin degludec, soluble insulin basal analogue (SIBA)) plus insulin aspart with insulin glargine (IGlar) plus insulin aspart in patients with type 1 diabetes. The main period is registered internally at Novo Nordisk as NN1250-3583 while the extension period is registered as NN1250-3644.

Low blood sugar is also called hypoglycemia. Usually, it is mild and can be treated quickly and easily by eating or drinking a small amount of a sugar-rich food. If low blood sugar is left untreated, it can get worse and cause confusion, clumsiness or fainting. Severe hypoglycemia can lead to seizures, coma, and even death. Some people with diabetes do not have early warning signs of low blood sugar. This condition is called hypoglycemia unawareness. It happens when the body stops reacting to low blood sugar levels and the person does not realize that they need to treat their hypoglycemia. This can lead to more severe and dangerous hypoglycemia. The purpose of this early study is to see if a drug called naltrexone should be studied more in people with Type I diabetes and hypoglycemia unawareness. This study will show whether naltrexone could reduce hypoglycemia unawareness. The study will also show, by using magnetic resonance imaging (also called MRI), whether naltrexone changes the way blood flows in the brain when a person is experiencing hypoglycemia.
