Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

Type 1 diabetes requires people with type 1 diabetes to constantly monitor their blood glucose and adjust their insulin doses to try and keep glucose levels in range. Hybrid closed loop systems (also called artificial pancreas) consist of a sensor that continuously measures glucose levels, an algorithm that then decides every few minutes how much insulin to deliver and an insulin pump that then delivers the insulin. These systems have been shown in observational and randomized studies to improve glucose levels and have high levels of user satisfaction. The National Health Service (NHS) in the UK has launched a pilot for up to 1,000 people with type 1 diabetes to trial these devices for up to 1 year and the results of that pilot will be audited by clinical teams. This study will recruit people from that pilot and use well validated as well as bespoke questionnaires to assess the impact of this technology on various key patient reported outcomes such as depression, diabetes related distress and fear of hypoglycemia (low blood glucose). We will invite a small number of participants to take part in semi-structured interviews to gain a more detailed understanding of the benefits and challenges of using these devices, and the impact they have on people living with type 1 diabetes. We know that living with a partner with type 1 diabetes can also have a negative impact on quality of life, and so we will invite partners of people using the hybrid closed loops systems to complete some validated and bespoke questionnaires. A small sample will also be invited to participate in interviews. The data from this real-world study of the impact of hybrid closed loop systems on patient reported outcomes will be of value to clinicians, people with type 1 diabetes and policy makers in understanding the value of these systems to people with type 1 diabetes and their families.

This is a randomized, controlled study in people living with type 1 diabetes using an automated insulin delivery (AID) system. Participants will be assigned to a control diet (45% carbohydrate) or a low carb diet (25% carbohydrate). The objective is to establish whether the low-carb diet improves time to glycemic targets at 3 months and whether the diet is realistically maintained at 1 year in patients using an AID-DIY system.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy (including durability) of up to 2 REACT injections given 3 months (+30 days) apart and delivered percutaneously into biopsied and non-biopsied contralateral kidneys in participants with T2DM and CKD.

This is a prospective cohort study that takes place in a clinic of Hangzhou, China. The aim of this study is to explore the molecular mechanism of special Chinese medicine formula combined with personalized nutrition to assist the treatment of diabetes from the aspect of multi-omics view. This study also aims to explore the relationship between gut microbiome and blood glucose in the process of personalized diet intervention.

This study aims to develop and implement a long-term program focused on the prevention of type 2 diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in women of reproductive age through lifestyle modification. This is a cluster-randomized trial whereby 6 health centers across Kisantu, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) will be randomized to an intervention group (3 health centers) or a comparison group (3 health centers). The intervention group will be provided with a preventive program based on educational + motivational strategies when the comparison group will be limited to an educational strategy only. This study will last 24 months and is limited to women of reproductive age (18-49 years), pregnant and non-pregnant. Evaluation of this research will use mixed longitudinal analyses for healthy lifestyle adherence, anthropometric and clinical indicators, diet quality, and physical activity. Expected results of this study for women of reproductive age include the prevention of T2DM and GDM through the acquisition of healthy lifestyle behavior, reaching and maintaining an optimal weight, blood pressure and glycemia, and adhere to the weight gain recommendations during pregnancy. Other expected achievements encompass improvements in the usability of data capturing systems, expand knowledge among health care providers on effective strategies for T2DM and GDM prevention and improve the technique and precision of measurements concerning health visits among health care providers, among others.

Rationale: Gestational diabetes is currently treated by the one-size-fits-all-approach. Treatment efficacy is poorly defined and inconsiderate of patients clinical presentation Objective: To characterize the efficacy of pharmacological treatment of gestational diabetes mellitus between patients with distinct metabolic phenotypes Study design: Prospective observational study, in metformin-treatment efficacy is compared between patients with GDM caused by insulin resistance and patients with GDM caused by low insulin secretion. Study population: A prospective cohort of 103 women with diagnosed gestational diabetes mellitus treated by metformin. Main study parameters/endpoints: Primary outcomes is the glucose-disposition-index in late pregnancy (35-37 weeks gestation) and requirement for supplemental insulin-treatment. Secondary outcomes include insulin sensitivity (Matsuda-index), insulin secretion (Stumvoll-index), HbA1c, gestational weight gain, body composition, physical activity, eating behavior, plasma biomarkers, glucose control, and maternal and infant pregnancy outcomes.

The increase in the prevalence of diabetes and the loss of various organs and functions in the individual as a result of complications caused by diabetes affect the life expectancy and quality of individuals, and cause social and economic losses affecting the whole society. For this reason, the individual management of the diabetic patient is important in terms of ensuring effective participation and compliance in treatment and care. Patients must have knowledge, skills and positive attitudes in order to successfully comply with diabetes treatment. Patients are in compliance with diabetes treatment; they encounter some barriers such as medication barriers, barriers to self-monitoring, knowledge and belief barriers, barriers to diagnosis, barriers in relations with health professionals, barriers to lifestyle change, barriers to coping with diabetes, and barriers to getting advice and support. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) states that self-monitoring of blood sugar is important in ensuring glycemic control and preventing hyperglycemia and asymptomatic hypoglycemia. Reiki is applied as an alternative and complementary treatment method. Reiki application, when used together with pharmacological methods, chronic fatigue, diabetic neuropathy, pain caused by surgery, cancer treatment, symptoms of cardiovascular diseases, emotional disorders such as anxiety, depression, acute or chronic pain, infertility-related problems, neurodegenerative disorders, AIDS, autism and developmental disorders, Crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, traumatic brain injury and has been shown to improve health problems such as fatigue. In the literature, the effects of reiki have been examined in patient groups with different chronic diseases, but no study has been found on obese individuals with Type 2 diabetes. Therefore, reikinin in obese individuals with Type 2 diabetes; This study is planned to determine whether it has an effect on compliance with diabetes treatment, eating behaviors, anxiety levels and changes in metabolic values.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about in women with gestational diabetes's health conditions. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Can Qigong control blood glucose in women with gestational diabetes? Can Qigong improve mood and sleep in women with gestational diabetes? Participants will required to follow the research team for 3 months of qigong practice。 If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare Qigong groups to see if Qigong's effects.

The goal of this cross-over study in obese subjects is to learn about the common co-morbidity type 2 diabetes and the local formation of ketone bodies. The type of study is an exploratory trial with the participants as own controls. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does food intake-induced ketogenesis exist in the small intestine of obese individuals? 2. Are insulin resistance, the incretin GLP-1 release and the glucose transporter SGLT1 affected in obese individuals without type 2 diabetes in the same way as those with type 2 diabetes?
