Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of advanced hybrid-closed loop system, Minimed 780G to glycemic control and safety in children aged 2-6 years with type 1 diabetes. Additionally, the study evaluates the perceived burden of the diabetes treatment to families during the advanced hybrid-closed loop system treatment (diabetes distress). This is a prospective, non-randomized, single-arm study, where primary endpoint is the change in TIR after hybrid-closed loop system initiation. Secondary endpoints are safety (number of severe hypoglycaemias and diabetic ketoacidosis, DKA), HbA1c, time below range (TBR), mean sensor glucose (SG), standard deviation of SG, and coefficient of variation (CV). The inclusion criteria are 1) TDD (total insulin daily dose) ≥ 8 units, 2) HbA1c < 10%, 3) capability to use pump and the CGM, and 4) time from diabetes diagnosis more than 6 months. The exclusion criteria are hemophilia or any other bleeding disorder, a condition, which in the opinion of the investigator would put the participant at risk during the trial.

This research will compare a psychological intervention ("ACT1VATE") versus diabetes self-management education and support (DSME/S; usual care) in improving clinical, behavioral, psychosocial, process, and cost outcomes among adults with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes (T1D) who are experiencing significant diabetes-related emotional distress and poor glycemic control in a real world, healthcare environment.

This RCT aims to improve T1D care in East African children and young adults by testing the hypothesis that enabling patients to continuously monitor glucose levels with flash CGM technology will improve glucose time-in-range (glucose level 70-180 mg/dl). After a 2 week assessment with blinded CGM when a potential subject's ability to wear CGM is confirmed, subjects will be enrolled a 12 month study, with the primary endpoint at 6 months. All subjects will receive monthly diabetes self-management education. Half of patients (n=90) will be given an unblinded FreeStyle Libre 2 CGM for the entire 12 months. They will be able to see their glucose levels in real time. Half (n=90) will be given sufficient test strips for 3x daily SMBG while wearing blinded CGM for 6 months (control group). They will switch to unblinded CGM months 6-12.

This global study (US, Canada, and Australia) will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the MiniMed 780G system in type 1 adult and pediatric subjects utilizing Fiasp (insulin aspart injection) in a home setting.

Study is an interventional clinical trial. children (aged 6-18 years) diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and celiac disease will be recruited conveniently from Endocrinology pediatric clinic at Prince Hamzah Hospital. Amman, Jordan. A sample of 45 diagnosed children, who will meet the inclusion criteria and will be agreed to participate will be centrally randomized to follow carbohydrate counting with GFD dietary intervention, carbohydrate counting with GFD and DASH dietary intervention, and control dietary intervention.

Islet transplantation is an effective modality for treating type 1 diabetes. Despite marked progress in clinical islet transplantation with the achievement and maintenance of insulin independence in over half of recipients up to 5 years, transplant approaches are limited to those that struggle to control their diabetes. Furthermore, this approach remains restricted due to the scarcity of human pancreas donors. While transplanting insulin-producing cells into the liver has been demonstrated as an efficacious means of restoring glycemic control to patients with T1D, the procedure often results in cell loss, and carries risks. Moreover, transplant in to the liver does not permit imaging or retrieval of donor islets. The ability to retrieve the cells is also important for safety reasons. In theory, the space under the skin is an attractive alternate site for transplanting insulin producing cell, due to ready access, and potential for monitoring cellular transplant function through novel imaging techniques. However, transplantation of insulin producing cells into an unmodified site under the skin universally fails to reverse diabetes in research animal models, or in human studies. Other techniques using devices with different type of technologies and biomaterials have been explored with variable success. Unfortunately, the foreign body and inflammatory reaction persist in the implant. Shapiro Lab, has developed a novel technique called 'device-less' (DL) transplant modality. This approach was designed to harness an innate foreign body response in a favorable and controlled manner, to induce growth of new blood vessels to allow the survival of the insulin producing cells without the natural body response to foreign body. Briefly, this site transforms the inhospitable under the skin site into a viable location through the temporary implantation of a small tube called angiocatheter. For this study, 5 patients will received transplant in to the modified site under the skin using the DL transplant technique.

This study is a randomized, controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Omnipod® 5 System with the FreeStyle Libre 2 continuous glucose monitor compared to Multiple Daily Injections (MDI) along with the FreeStyle Libre 2 continuous glucose monitor in children and adults with type 1.

Type 1 Diabetes carries high burden for affected youth and their families. Advances in insulin therapy and technology have been associated with increased obesity with 1/3 adolescents being overweight/obese. Since obesity runs in families and carries risk for poor outcomes psychologically and medically, the investigators are adapting our successful evidence-based Family Based Treatment for hybrid delivery to improve obesity and metabolic control in the affected youth and improve obesity and related co-morbidities in their parents.

The DreaMed Advisor Pro, is a software which automatically analyses treatment information, learns patient's needs and accordingly suggests adjustments in insulin dosing (FDA approved decision support system). The Advisor Pro uses information gathered from glucose monitoring (sensor readings or capillary blood glucose measurements), insulin dosing and meal data during daily routine home care. Following a 5 minute data collection and analysis, the algorithm learns and suggests pump-setting changes for optimization of glucose control. The algorithm is designed as an advisory tool for health care professionals and has three main components: First, data analysis report - a statistical analysis of the insulin pump and sensor data: insulin delivery, bolus-calculator rate of use, sensor glucose variables, hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic patterns. Second, recommendations, alert messages based on aforementioned data for example "pay attention- you skipped boluses", basal/bolus ratio is too high, bolus delivery compliance, glucose target recommendations and more. Third, a recommendation for new insulin pump settings: including basal intervals and rate, different carbohydrate ratio according to time of day, correction factor and insulin sensitivity time. The Advisor Pro can be used to optimize insulin pump setting during clinical visits, in-between visits or as part of virtual (telemedicine) visit. The objective of the proposed study is to evaluate the use of Advisor Pro by Health Care Providers for regular clinical visits and in between visits titration for adjustment of insulin pump settings. The study design is an open label, prospective, observational study that will include up to 100 participants with Type 1 Diabetes using insulin pumps and monitoring glucose levels by continuous glucose monitoring including flash glucose monitoring.

Regular exercise is associated with many health benefits for individuals with type 1 diabetes. However, immediate and delayed exercise-induced hypoglycemia is frequent and thus the main limiting factor for physical activity practice in this population. To reduce the risk of exercise-induced hypoglycemia, two types of adjustments may be considered by patients with type 1 diabetes : pre-meal insulin-dose reduction and carbohydrate supplements. Few evidence-based recommendations are available for patients using insulin pump to adjust insulin doses in order to limit exercise-induced hypoglycemia. The objective of this study is to address the magnitude of the needed reduction during two types of frequently practiced exercise (continuous vs. interval exercise) known to have a different impact on blood glucose reduction.
