Clinical Investigation to Assess the Feasibility of a New Diabetes Management Program
Type 1 DiabetesThe goal of this interventional study is to assess the adherence to a personalized care plan in patients (12-15 years) with Type 1 diabetes
Improving Diabetic Patient Health Through Assistive-Reading Technology
Diabetes MellitusType 24 moreType 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) affects over 30 million Americans and requires patients to competently manage their conditions at home. However, the majority of diabetes self-management education (DSME) and aftercare print materials remain overly complicated, with excessively high reading difficulty and fall short in supporting functional readiness for self- management at home, especially for the 18% of U.S. adults unable to read beyond a second-grade level. This project will determine the feasibility of implementing assistive reading technology, designed for patients with limited print or English proficiency, that will immediately expand patient capacity to understand DSME materials, increase T2DM self- management adherence and eventually reduce, at a scale, disparate outcomes in a chronic disease. It will use a small pilot trial design of the GogyUp Reader app to use with print materials versus print materials with no app support and test effects of GogyUp on three-month follow-up measures of health literacy (primary outcome) using the Health Literacy Questionnaire subscales 9 (Understanding health information well enough to know what to do") and 2 ("Having sufficient information to manage my health"); and on three-month follow-up self-reported diabetes management (secondary outcome) using the Perceived Diabetes Self-Management Scale (PDSMS).
Diabetes Disparities: Texting to Extend Treatment (DD-TXT)
Diabetes MellitusType 2One way to help Veterans improve their diabetes control is through the use of technology to help provide information, motivation, and reminders necessary to support diabetes self-management. The study will seek input from diverse groups of Veterans living with diabetes to help develop DD-TXT, a new customizable, interactive texting intervention that allows Veterans to choose what kinds of diabetes self-management support they need, and when. This diabetes support will be provided to Veterans through "Annie", a new VA texting system for self-management support. Patients will be randomized to receive DD-TXT or an education-only texting intervention called DSE that is based on a diabetes skills workbook in order to test the comparative effectiveness of DD-TXT.
Family Model Diabetes Self-Management Education in Faith Based Organizations
Type 2 DiabetesThis study's objective is to conduct a cluster randomized control study that evaluates the effectiveness of F-DSME (Family Model Diabetes Self-Management Education) when delivered in a group setting in Marshallese Faith Based Organizations (FBO). The F-DSME has shown to be effective when delivered in patients' homes, and the proposed research will allow us to determine the F-DSME's effectiveness in a FBO setting.
Project MiNT: Assessing the Impact of Food & Video-Based Nutrition Education on Patients With Poorly...
Diabetes MellitusType 2This pragmatic randomized controlled trial will assess the efficacy of medically tailored meals and medical nutrition therapy via telehealth on clinical outcomes for patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes. The goal of these interventions is to improve outcomes for patients with diabetes by impacting self-care behaviors and diet self-efficacy in the short and long term. This study leverages a unique health system and community group partnership to inform the utility of reimbursement for medically tailored meal programs and medical nutrition therapy, which would ultimately facilitate their scalability and sustainability within the healthcare system.
Financial Incentives And Nurse Coaching to Enhance Diabetes Outcomes (FINANCE-DM)-1
Type 2 DiabetesThe objective of this protocol is to answer the questions: 1) Are financial incentives layered upon nurse education and home telemonitoring superior to nurse education and home telemonitoring alone in improving metabolic control long term? 2) Are the effects of financial incentives on metabolic control sustained once the incentives are withdrawn? and 3) Are financial incentives efficacious within and consistent across racial/ethnic groups? This study provides a unique opportunity to address these gaps in the literature. Investigators propose a randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of a Financial Incentives And Nurse Coaching to Enhance Diabetes Outcomes (FINANCE-DM) intervention comprised of: 1) nurse education, 2) home telemonitoring, and 3) structured financial incentives; compared to an active control group (nurse education and home telemonitoring alone). The study also will evaluate whether intervention effects are sustained 6 months after the financial incentives are withdrawn (i.e. 18 months post randomization); and whether the intervention is differentially efficacious across racial/ethnic groups.
Reducing Innate Inflammation in New Onset Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 Diabetestype1diabetes1 moreThis study aims to determine whether Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 299v (Lp299v) supplementation will reduce systemic inflammation and prolong residual beta cell function in individuals newly diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. The investigators hypothesize that probiotic-induced alterations in the intestinal microbiota may favorably alter the post-onset disease state.
Serious Game in the Therapeutic Education of Type 1 Diabetes Paediatric Patients
Type 1 DiabetesThe aim of this study is to evaluate the contribution of a serious game in the reinforcement of knowledge acquired during therapeutic education of type 1 diabetes paediatric patients. This evaluation will take place within 3 months of the diagnosis.
Treating Early Type 2 Diabetes by Reducing Postprandial Glucose Excursions: A Paradigm Shift in...
Type 2 DiabetesA Randomized Control Trial (RCT) with 1:1 randomization of adults newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2D) to Routine Care (RC) and RC + Glycemic Excursion Minimization (RC+GEM); a program that provides RC in addition to continuous glucose monitors (CGM) within a structured, self-directed, and personalized lifestyle program called GEM. Our hypothesis is that RC+GEM will: 1) reduce hemoglobin A1c as much or more, 2) require less diabetes medication, 3) cost less, and 4) have more secondary benefits, (e.g. greater reduction in cardiovascular risk, weight, diabetes distress, depression symptoms), compared to RC alone.
