Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

BACKGROUD: Health technology is an important tool in the aging process, which may improve the health condition and self-esteem of the elderly, in addition to offering new opportunities and challenges. In this scenario, the use of virtual interaction systems emerge as promising alternatives for the old adults, which often deals with the lack of social interaction, cognitive decline and decline in functional capacity, making the control of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, a challenge. OBJECTIVES: This project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using an interactive virtual assistance system in mental health parameters, glycemic profile and diabetes selfcare behavior in elderly people with diabetes. METHODS: A randomized clinical trial is proposed, for an intervention that includes 3 months of use of the Smart Speaker Echo Dot system, programmed to provide reminders, stimulate treatment records and maintain healthy habits. Outcomes assessed will include parameters of mental health and diabetes control.

The purpose of this study is to improve diabetes management for patients at Midtown General Internal Medicine Clinic (Aim 1). The clinic offers dedicated diabetes care on certain days with trained providers able to offer dedicated diabetes care. The clinic will also make sure to address other aspects of life and health that may impact an individual's ability to manage their diabetes - food insecurity, housing insecurity, knowing about healthy food, finding ways to exercise, and mental health. The study will also train the medical residents to be able to participate in this dedicated diabetes care (Aim 2).

The primary objective of this study is to determine the benefits of interventions from a Multidisciplinary Diabetes Care team involved of diabetes nurse practitioners(DNP) on glucose control, perioperative outcomes and psychosocial outcomes for patients with Diabetes Mellitus

A study protocol for analyze the influence of therapeutic education on the metabolic control of patients with type I diabetes. To measure the change in glucose levels, it will use the continuous glucose monitoring sensor that the patients have implanted. It will perform a data download prior and after to the educational intervention. An assessment of acquired knowledge will also be performed and it will be analyzed whether learning about their disease and self-care helps to improve their emotional state. The intervention of this study is only training with therapeutic education, it does not require any type of extra test or medical or pharmacological product. It will only be necessary to answer attitudinal questionnaires by the patient

The Complete Health Improvement Program (CHIP) is a lifestyle improvement program intended to prevent and/or manage cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other health conditions. This is a pilot-scale randomized-controlled trial comparing the clinical, utilization, and financial outcomes of adult health plan members with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) offered CHIP versus those only offered standard health plan coverage. We hypothesize that Geisinger Health Plan (GHP) members with T2DM offered CHIP in addition to standard insurance coverage will have improvement in HbA1c and improvements in other biometrics, biomarkers, psychometrics and utilization/financial outcomes, including LDL-C, systolic blood pressure, body mass index, waist circumference, number of diabetes medications prescribed, Wellbeing360 survey, and total cost of healthcare.

In partnership with youth, parents, and community members the investigators have co-developed a program of research designed to address the substantial health disparities faced by First Nations children and families, and the calls to action from the Truth and Reconciliation Report. Specifically; the investigators aim to address the high rates of kidney disease in Indigenous children living with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), by identifying and understanding the root causes for progression of kidney disease and working together to build an evidenced based, novel therapy for diabetes that focuses on mindfulness, personal strengths and incorporates traditional medicine practices that are meaningful to patients. The investigators have planned 2 pilots in order to address the uncertainties surrounding the planning of a larger definitive trial and allow adequate engagement and building of a meaningful traditional medicine component. These pilots will inform the development of a co-designed, feasible, and embraced Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) skills training and traditional teachings intervention, which is adequately powered to examine effectiveness on outcomes such as mental wellness, medication adherence, and improved glycemic control and renal function. Research Aims: 1. Determine the recruitment, enrollment and adherence rates to the intervention. 2. Evaluate acceptability of the intervention using traditional qualitative methods and Indigenous world view methodology 3. Determine the estimated effect size required to power a large-scale DBT randomized control trial for the outcomes quality of life (primary), glycemic control and albuminuria (secondary). Study Hypotheses: 1. The investigators hypothesize that a DBT intervention will be feasible on a local and National Platform and will be acceptable and embraced by youth with T2D as an important component of their management plan. 2. The investigators hypothesize that the additional of traditional medicine elements will increase the acceptability and adherence to DBT for Indigenous children.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) affects approximately 2 million Americans, and only 2 in 8 young adults ages 18-30 years achieve glycemic targets (glycated hemoglobin A1C <7.0%). Achieving glycemic targets is associated with reduced risk of micro-and macrovascular complications. Sleep deprivation leads to impaired glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in adults without chronic conditions and with T1D. Promoting sleep in laboratory and natural environments contributes to improvements in insulin sensitivity, glucose levels, and distress symptoms in young adults without chronic conditions and more time in range in adolescents with T1D. Multiple dimensions of sleep health (alertness, timing, efficiency, and sleep duration) are associated with better achievement of glycemic targets in adults with T1D. Therefore, sleep health dimensions are appropriate therapeutic targets to improve glucoregulation and other diabetes self-management outcomes in this population. Our primary objective is to evaluate the immediate and short-term effects of a 12-week CB-sleep intervention compared to enhanced usual care (time balanced attention control) on actigraphy- and self-report derived sleep health dimensions and diabetes self-management outcomes (glycemia and distress symptoms) over 9-months (Stage II of the NIH Model for Behavior Change, ORBIT phase III). CB-sleep is guided by principles and practices from motivational interviewing and the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change with interactive stage-matched sessions.

The aim of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HRS-7535 in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Studies have shown that type 2 diabetic patients (T2DM) may have low serum magnesium levels leading to poor control and outcome of the disease. Supplementation with Mg might improve overall diabetic control and disease outcome. However, there is yet no consensus on whether the ionized (iMg) or the total Mg (tMg) level should be used as a basis to determine the status of Mg in the blood. Recently it was shown that iMg may correlate better with diabetes control than tMg. Therefore, Mg supplements to diabetic patients may improve their disease status. Unfortunately, and to the best of our knowledge all of the available trials on Mg supplementation guided by iMg levels were conducted on healthy volunteers rather than T2DM patients, and they were all for a short period of time (10 days to 10 weeks). Here we hypothesize that supplementations of T2DM patients with Mg based on serum iMg levels correlate better with diabetes control and prognosis. Such hypothesis is supported by a retrospective study that concluded that iMg correlate better with BP control than tMg. In addition, another trial that investigated the effects of three Mg dietary supplements; Mg oxide, Mg citrate and Mg carbonate on healthy female young adults, showed that only Mg oxide led to an increase in the levels of iMg and tMg concentrations when compared to baseline. Furthermore, a case-control study on older diabetic patients revealed a significant association between iMg and HbA1c. This study aims to investigate the effect of supplementing Mg oxide tablets versus placebo tablets guided by serum iMg levels in T2DM patients with or without hypomagnesemia on diabetic control and prognosis.

Because of the unforeseen rate of increase in case numbers, the high rates of mortality and morbidity, and the increased socio economic load it causes, diabetes has become the most discussed chronic and widespread metabolic disease in Turkey, and throughout the World, there are focused efforts to find a solution. It is very important for a person to self-assesss and evaluate to draw a roadmap for improved outcomes in a disease with a high financial and moral burden. A nurse is not only a caregiver to patients, but also a person who guides them to increased engagement and motivation in the care of their illness. Integrative Nurse Coaching is gaining notoriaty as an effective method to improve patient engagament and motivation in self-responsibility for health. The Integrative Nurse Coach Academy in the USA carries out studies and trainings to further this improvement. With cooperation between United States and Turkish nurse colleagues, it aims to bring Integrative Nurse Coach practice to Turkey. The Integrative Nurse Coach uses the nursing process as a framework to guide nurse coaching practice. This requires a shift in traditional nursing terminology and meaning to understand and incorporate the patient's subjective experience as follows: from assessment to stablishing a relationship, identifying readiness for change and the resources available to the patient for change; from nursing diagnosis to identifying opportunities and issues; from outcomes to having the patient set the agenda for achievement of the patient's goals; from 3 planning to creating the structure of the coaching interaction; from intervention to empowering the patient to reach goals; and from evaluating to assisting the patient to determine the extent to which goals were achieved. The Theory of Integrative Nurse Coaching (TINC) , developed by the Integrative Nurse Coach Association , sheds light on this point. The TINC encompasses many holistic nursing theories and contains three concepts and five components. The three concepts are healing, metaparadigm in nursing theory (nurse, person, health, environment), and patterns of knowing in nursing (personal, empirics, aesthetics, ethical, not knowing, sociopolitical. The TINC five components include Integrative Nurse Coach Self-Development (self-reflection, self-assessment, self-evaluation self-care), Integral Perspective and Change, Integrative Lifestyle Health and Well-Being, Awareness and Choice, and Listening With Heart The five components all have equal value and form the basis for the nurse coach professional practice model. There is a parallel process of self-development for both the nurse coach and the client. The SelfDevelopment component empowers individuals (including the nurse coach) to focus on their health and wellness from an integral perspective and to identify their individual knowledge, expertise, strengths, and resources, while recognizing the fluidity of the change. The TINC is designed to guide nurse coaching practice, education, research, and health care policy. The theory emphasizes, describes, and directs the practice of nurse coaching, a recognized holistic nursing modality. It has been seen that the TINC framework is very suitable for individuals with diabetes to provide their own management.
