Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

The incidence of diabetes in children, which is constantly increasing worldwide is estimated in mainland France at about 15/100 000 per year with a wide disparity between countries and a north gradient South. In Reunion island, about 30 children a year seem to reveal diabetes before the age of 18 years but no precise data has ever been published on this subject. Indeed, while type 1 diabetes (insulin-dependent autoimmune) represents historically the majority of cases of diabetes revealed at pediatric age (about 90%), since a little more than 10 years other types of diabetes seem emerge at pediatric age. This is particularly the case of type 2 diabetes in connection with the global epidemic of obesity. The purpose of the investigator's study is the exhaustive prospective collection of all cases of diabetes revealed before the age of 18 in the Reunion region over a period of 5 years.

The T1D Exchange Registry is a research study, conducted over time, for individuals with type 1 diabetes and their supporters. Participants volunteer to provide their data for research (for example, by answering questions in annual surveys). Once enrolled, Registry participants have the opportunity to sign up for other studies on various topics related to type 1 diabetes. To participate, you will be asked to: Read and sign an online informed consent form Take a survey describing specific demographic and type 1 diabetes management information Update your information annually Periodically opt in for additional research opportunities (if you choose), i.e. taking new surveys or uploading health device data

The purpose of this study is to discover early biomarkers in circulating endothelial cells for diabetes complications, by investigating circulating endothelial cells in blood samples from patients with newly diagnosed proliferative diabetic retinopathy, newly diagnosed maculopathy, patients with diabetes without eye diseases, and individuals without diabetes by single-cell RNA sequencing. The single-cell RNA sequencing analysis will make it possible to fully phenotype diabetes circulating endothelial cells at single-cell level and reveal the first atlas of circulating endothelial cells in humans at both healthy and diabetes conditions.

Gestational diabetes (GDM) is a form of diabetes that develops during pregnancy. GDM is associated with increased risks for pregnancy complications such as macrosomia s and preterm delivery. Women with a history of GDM have a high risk to develop a type 2 diabetes (T2DM) within the next ten years after delivery. The children are also at increased risk of developing obesity and T2DM later in life. Studies are needed to find more accurate predictors for the metabolic risk later in life. This will help to individualize the follow-up and to develop tailored prevention strategies in women and offspring with a history of GDM. In this research project we will therefore investigate how the long-term metabolic risk can more accurately be predicted in a follow-up cohort of the 'Belgian Diabetes in Pregnancy study' (BEDIP-N). We will study the relationship between maternal weight, degree of body fat and degree of hyperglycaemia in pregnancy on the long-term metabolic risk of 375 women and offspring pairs 3-7 years after the delivery across different gestational glucose tolerance groups based on the 2013 WHO criteria in pregnancy. In addition, we will study whether a promising new biomarker, glycated CD59, is a good predictor for the long-term metabolic risk.

The incidence of diabetes is increasing globally, including within Europe. There is an estimated 20million diabetic patients in Europe, which is likely to increase, thereby adding to societal demands on European health services. Diabetic patients are more likely to have surgical interventions than the general population. There are plausible pathophysiology and clinical mechanisms that diabetics are at increased risk of postoperative complications. When postoperative complications occur in the general population, they increase mortality or increase risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (Myocardial Infarction, Cerebrovascular Accident, Pulmonary embolism) at 30-days and up to one year later. In addition, diabetes is an independent risk factor for surgical site infections. There is variation in practice guidelines in different countries in the perioperative management of diabetic patients undergoing major surgery, but this has not been documented on a large scale. Given the multiplicity of guidelines and differing recommendations, it is unsurprising that variability of 'real-world' clinical practice with regard to perioperative management of oral antihyperglycemic medications and insulin therapy has been noted in audits such as the National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death (NCEPOD). Further, although it is recognised that diabetic patients are at increased risk of postoperative complications, this has not been recently evaluated, especially in light of ongoing developments in perioperative care, such as Enhanced Recovery Programmes. While a quality improvement intervention study has shown that maintaining tight preoperative glycaemic control improves postoperative glycaemic control, it is not known if this reduces postoperative morbidity overall. Further, whether certain anaesthetic techniques may be associated with better or worse outcomes after major non-cardiac surgery is unknown.

Ongoing prospective cohort of type 2 diabetes individuals.

Since February 2019 the first hybrid closed-loop insulin pump, the Medtronic MiniMed 670G system, has been offered to people with type 1 diabetes in Belgium. Despite previous studies, the impact of these new kinds of insulin pumps on glycemic control and patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) is still unclear. Therefore, this study will evaluate the impact of the Medtronic MiniMed 670G, Medtronic MiniMed 780G and Tandem Control-IQ systems on glycemic control and PROMs in people living with type 1 diabetes under real-life conditions. In a multicenter real-world observational study, 350 adults and 100 children with type 1 diabetes who are treated with each of these systems in one of 17 Belgian centers, will be followed for a period of 24 months. The primary endpoint is the evolution of time spent in range (defined as a sensor glucose value between 70 and 180 mg/dL) from before start to 12 months after start of hybrid closed-loop therapy. Since not much is known about the impact of hybrid closed-loop on partners of adults living with type 1 diabetes, an optional substudy (INRANGE-PARTNER) will be performed investigating the quality of life in partners of adults of type 1 diabetes using hybrid closed-loop therapy. More specifically, the substudy will compare the quality of life of partners of type 1 diabetes patients both before and after implementation of hybrid closed-loop therapy.

To develop and implement quality improvement programs for the treatment and management of hypertension and diabetes,and preventing and controlling hypertension and diabetes-related diseases in Chinese community. This program will use data collection, analysis, feedback, and process improvement to extend the use of evidence-based guidelines throughout the healthcare system and improve patient care of hypertension and diabetes in Chinese community.

The purpose of this research study is to find out how bones are affected in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) as compared to children and adolescents without type 1 diabetes.

The main goal of this study is to explore the relationship between new-onset diabetes mellitus/deteriorating diabetes and a subsequent diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Magnetic cholangiopancreatography (MRI/MRCP) will be utilized to screen for early stage pancreatic cancer or precursor lesions. Participants will be asked to donate a blood sample at specific intervals for the creation of a bio-bank necessary for the development of a blood based screening test for pancreatic cancer.
