Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1"

This study is conducted in Asia. The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Levemir™ FlexPen™ (Insulin Detemir) in the treatment of Filipino patients with Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

This study is conducted in Asia. The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the efficacy on blood glucose control while using NovoMix® 30 FlexPen® under normal clinical practice conditions in Korea. A clinical safety profile will be also evaluated.

The purpose of this project is to look at how sleep affects glucose values in children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. It will also evaluate if glucose is affected by times of day due to the body's own internal rhythm also known as the circadian rhythm.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether type I diabetics with carnitine deficiency exhibit increased numbers of hypoglycemic (low blood sugars) events and if unrecognized hypoglycemia occurs during continuous 72-hour glucose monitoring. If they are determined to have unrecognized hypoglycemia, then oral carnitine supplementation will be given to those subjects and they will be reassessed for the number of hypoglycemic events in a 72-hour glucose monitoring.

This 1-year study will explore the influences of family and peers on how diabetic adolescents manage their disease, focusing on adolescent developmental transitions. The management of diabetes is a complex process involving daily self-care activities, problem-solving, and decision-making. It is particularly challenging during adolescence when youth are experiencing physiological, social and psychological changes, and coming under increasing peer influence and decreasing parental supervision. Although it is expected that the responsibility for diabetes management will gradually shift from the parent to the child during adolescence, research indicates that many children may be given responsibility for managing their illness too early, without adequate parental monitoring. Specifically, this study will examine the following issues: The relationship of peers, parents and school support to successful diabetes management; The influence of the adolescent's self-image and personal goals on diabetes management; The influence of the adolescent's and parents' attitudes, capability and environment on the balance of responsibility for diabetes management. Children between 10 and 16 years of age receiving treatment for diabetes type 1 at Georgetown University Medical Center's pediatric diabetes clinic may be eligible for this study. The children must have been diagnosed with diabetes at least 1 year before entering the study and must require insulin treatment. One parent of each child will also participate in the study. Children and their parents will complete the following procedures: Home Interviews: Parents and children will complete two at-home face-to-face interviews 6 months apart. At each interview, children will answer questions about their responsibility for and adherence to their diabetes management, treatment outcome expectations, optimism, self-esteem, self-consciousness, personal goals, social support, perceived barriers to diabetes management, family routine and family conflict, their parents' involvement in their diabetes management, and parenting style. Parents will evaluate their child's ability to manage his or her diabetes, level of maturity, self-esteem, and transition of responsibility; their family routine and family conflict, parent-child communication, their parenting goals, and their involvement in and responsibility for their child's diabetes management. Three days after the 6-month interview, a randomly selected group of parents and children will complete a brief, additional telephone interview covering some of the same issues. Telephone Interview: At 12 months, parents and children will complete a telephone interview that will include questions about adherence to diabetes management and the responsibility of parents and children for diabetes management.

To investigate the occurrence and associated risk factors for subclinical heart disease in persons with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).

This study evaluates the ability of deep learning to improve the knowledge about structural and vascular retinal changes in diabetic patients undergoing artificial pancreas device, using optical coherence tomography angiography.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by the inability of the body to maintain normoglycemia. Treatment of diabetes relies mostly on diabetes self-management, requiring a large investment of time and energy on a daily basis. Psychological wellbeing, behavioral patterns and social context play a major role in diabetes self-management and glycemic control. Social isolation behavior (self-quarantining) may impact glycemic control by influencing daily routines, therapy adherence, physical activity, and self-measurement and eating behaviors. Therefore, a period of nationwide self-quarantine, such as during the lockdown issued during the COVID-19 outbreak in the Netherlands, may have a large effect on glycemic control in patients with diabetes. In this observational cross sectional study, we aim to assess the impact of long-term self-quarantine on glycemic control, diabetes self-management and distress in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. A specific subgroup of patients with T1D are those with complicated diabetes who have received a pancreas or islet transplantation and use immunosuppression, having multiple risk factors for severe COVID-19. The impact of lockdown strategies on mental and physical health is expectedly even greater in patients at even higher risk for severe COVID-19. We therefore additionally investigated differences in behavioral, mental and physical implications of a nationwide lockdown on patients with type 1 diabetes with and without islet or pancreas transplantation. Measurements will be performed during the lockdown period. Patients will be asked to perform a fingerprick HbA1c measurement once, sent back to the LUMC by mail. Data from continuous or flash glucose monitoring devices will be collected according to standard clinical practice. Furthermore, patients will be asked to fill out an online questionnaire once on diabetes self-management behavior, well-being and distress, along with questions about health status, level of education, medication use, employment, social situation and the impact of self-quarantine on daily routines. In this questionnaire, we ask patients to compare certain aspects of their life (e.g. anxiety, stress, weight, physical activity, glycemic control) at the time of the lockdown to before the lockdown. Data on demographics, type of diabetes, weight, BMI and HbA1c prior to the COVID-19 outbreak will be derived from the patient's electronic health file.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether verapamil can transiently improve beta cell function in those who do or do not secrete proinsulin and little/no C-peptide.

In this study the usability of the Omnipod DASH insulin administration system is evaluated prospectively by two questionnaires. The effect on the metabolic control is evaluated retrospectively by analysis of data from the medical records of the patients.
