Does Soluble Fiber Supplementation Result in Lower Postprandial Blood Glucose in Women With Gestational...
Gestational DiabetesThe objective of this study is to investigate the effect of supplementation of 10g soluble fiber from guar on postprandial blood glucose levels in women with gestational diabetes after consumption of a standardized meal compared with no supplementation. Null Hypothesis H0: Soluble fiber supplementation will not result in a lower postprandial blood glucose increase in women with gestational diabetes compared to no supplementation after consumption of a standardized meal. Alternative hypothesis H1: Soluble fiber supplementation will result in a lower postprandial blood glucose increase in women with gestational diabetes compared to no supplementation after consumption of a standardized meal. Study participants are randomly assigned to the intervention (consumption of a standardized meal and 10g soluble fibre) or control group (consumption of a standardized meal without soluble fibre). After a 2-day wash-out phase, the two groups are switched (the intervention group becomes the control group and vice versa) with the same standardized procedure.
Feasibility of a Diabetes Specialist Nurse-led Smoking Cessation Intervention
Diabetes MellitusTobacco Use CessationThe goal of this clinical trial is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a multi-component smoking cessation intervention for individuals living with diabetes which is delivered by diabetes specialist nurses. The main question it aims to answer is: Is a diabetes specialist nurse-led multi-component smoking cessation intervention tailored for persons living with diabetes who smoke feasible and acceptable among the providers and the participants, the individuals with diabetes? Eligible individuals living with diabetes who smoke will be asked to participate in a feasibility study lasting twelve weeks. The participants will be allocated at random either to the diabetes specialist nurse-led multi-component smoking cessation intervention, or to standard care - an active referral to the Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Directorate's one-to-one smoking cessation service. The multi-component smoking cessation intervention will be provided by the diabetes specialist nurses at the Diabetes Education Unit at Mater Dei Hospital. The Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Directorate's one-to-one smoking cessation service is provided by tobacco cessation facilitators within the health centres of Mosta, Floriana, and Paola. Both interventions will help participants re-consider their smoking habits and support them to quit smoking, free of charge. Primarily the researchers will: assess the feasibility of a largescale randomized controlled trial, by analyzing the recruitment and study uptake, and the nurses' perceived challenges and facilitators to implementation; and assess the acceptability of the intervention, by analyzing the nurses' feedback and the participants' satisfaction with and perceived usefulness of the smoking cessation intervention provided, in comparison to the satisfaction with standard care - the Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Directorate's one-to-one smoking cessation service.
Prolonged Remission Induced by Phenofibrate in Children Newly Diagnosed With Type 1 Diabetes.
Diabetes MellitusType 1The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate of the effect of phenofibrate on the functions of beta cells in children with new diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. The main question it aims to answer is: whether phenofibrate may prolong residual beta-cell function therefore own insulin secretion. Participants will be asked to take a phenofibrate or identically appearing placebo (a neutral substance), orally, once daily, for 12 months with no knowledge what is administred to them. They will be invited for follow-up visits including blood tests every 3 months. Researchers will be monitoring the two groups for the safety of the phenofibrate, and at the trial end they compare the residual insulin secretion results in two groups.

Diabetes MellitusType 21 moreThis study is to assess the safety and performance of the Neurotronic Infusion Catheter and ethanol denervation of renal and hepatic arteries for the treatment of patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM), Hypertension and Obesity.
The Effects of the GOLO for Life® Plan With Release Supplement on Glycemic Control and Weight in...
Type 2 DiabetesObese1 moreThe objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of the GOLO for Life® Plan (G4LP) and Release supplementation on glycemic control and weight in overweight and obese adults with Type 2 Diabetes. The change in glycemic control from baseline at Days 90 and 180 following the G4LP and supplementation with Release will be assessed. Additionally, the safety and tolerability of the G4LP and Release supplementation will be measured by the occurrence of and/or changes in pre-emergent and post-emergent adverse events (AEs).
To Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of JW0201 Added on in Patients With T2DM
Type 2 Diabetes MellitusA multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, parallel, phase Ⅲ study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of JW0201 added on in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have inadequate glycemic control with C2202 and C2204
Inulin Supplementation in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes
DiabetesThe aim of this study is to compare the glycemic and metabolic control of type 1 diabetic patients in replacement therapy with insulin, comparing those treated with a supplementation of prebiotics (inulin) and those treated with a placebo. Therefore, the primary objective of the study is represented by the proportion of patients with better glycemic control (basal and post-prandial euglycemia time) and optimal metabolic control (HbA1c, lipid profile, C-RP).
