Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is an increasingly common condition of pregnancy and is associated with adverse foetal, infant, and maternal outcomes. Over 50% of women with history of GDM will develop type 2 diabetes (T2D) in later life. Asian women experience disproportionate risk of both GDM and T2D compared to women from other ethnic groups. Lifestyle interventions have been proven to be effective in preventing progression to T2DM in high-risk populations. This is a two-arm, parallel feasibility RCT. Sixty Malaysian women with GDM will be randomized to receive the intervention or standard care in the antenatal period to 12 months postpartum. The intervention is a diabetes prevention intervention delivered via a smartphone application developed based on the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model of behavior change and group support utilizing motivational interviewing, which will provide women with tailored information and support to encourage weight loss through adapted dietary intake and physical activity. Women in the control arm will receive standard care.

The objective of this study is to test the early effects and implementation of an enhanced community health worker (CHW) model (T1D-CATCH) that encourages and supports diabetes technology use in young adults from underrepresented minority groups (YA-URMs) with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The investigators will conduct a 9-month randomized controlled trial in which YA-URMs will be randomized toT1D-CATCH or usual care. The investigators will recruit from adult and pediatric endocrinology and primary care practices in a large safety-net health system in the Bronx, New York. Our specific aims are to 1) evaluate T1D-CATCH effects on technology initiation and continued use over 6 months and 2) evaluate T1D-CATCH implementation using Proctor's Taxonomy of Implementation Outcomes: feasibility, adoption, fidelity, and cost.

Food forms an integral part of diabetes management. As children mature into young adults, they must learn to adopt lifestyle behaviours critical for optimal diabetes care. The development of food preparation and cooking skills at a young age may help to facilitate healthy food choices in children and provide a solid foundation for young adulthood. Food skills workshops are effective interventions that have been shown to improve food literacy and healthy eating in the general pediatric population. However, food skills programs have not been adequately evaluated in children with type 1 diabetes. Further, virtual programs are not well assessed, which can increase the accessibility of food education during the pandemic and in the future.

The purpose of this research is to study the effectiveness and safety of the medication PB in slowing the frequent urination related to tolvaptan as long-term treatment of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD), or frequent urination related to inherited nephrogenic diabetes insipidus as an inherited condition or as an acquired condition from prior treatment with lithium.

This study aims to identify the unmet psychoeducational needs of parents of children 8-12 years of age using insulin pump and CGM for pediatric T1D management and to leverage that information to develop an innovative app-based psychoeducational intervention to optimize use of these technologies and improve T1D outcomes.

According to the most current local data, the rate of patient's adherence to insulin injections is very low. A recent cross sectional study in Klinik Pakar Perubatan (KPP) Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM) among 355 patients with Type 2 diabetes treated with insulin showed only 19% of patients adhered to their insulin regime with the mean fasting plasma glucose of 10mmol/L and mean HbA1C of 10.0%. This condition may lead to undesirable health consequences. Patients education has been showed to improved adherence. Among the 355 participants involved in the study, 82% of the patients have received consultation by diabetic educators yet their glycemic control were suboptimal. A new approaches using a module-based counseling that emphasized on adherence has been developed and the effectiveness of the counseling need to be evaluated.

The Ministry of Health Malaysia designs an education program for diabetes mellitus under the "Know Your Medicine" campaign. The Pharmacy Integrated Community Care (PICC) program hopes to improve knowledge and self-care for diabetes mellitus patients. PICC contains four modules that will provide knowledge on diabetes mellitus in an interactive, easily understandable and fun program. The investigators want to evaluate the program's effectiveness to see its relevance to Malaysian. PICC is an education program to give knowledge on diabetes mellitus to patients. It intended to improve self-care knowledge for patients with underlying Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus conducted the whole of Malaysia. However, in Sarawak, the investigators interested in conducting it together with this is an experimental study aiming to examine PICC's effectiveness. The study is being conducted in the nine Sarawak divisions. A minimum of 94 respondents will be participating in this study. Patient profile details will be taken with strict confidentiality.

Type two diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a common, long term metabolic disorder characterised by hyperglycaemia (high blood glucose) resulting from insulin resistance and relative insulin insufficiency. The risk of developing insulin resistance and subsequently T2DM is increased by being overweight and also through a sedentary lifestyle. As the onset can be gradual, physiological damage may have occurred prior to diagnosis. Diabetes is associated with the development of microvascular complications (diabetic nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy), and macrovascular complications (coronary artery disease, peripheral arterial disease, and stroke). While there are many treatments available for T2DM, these complications may still arise, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. There is therefore an urgent need to identify novel signalling pathways that may contribute to the development of diabetes related complications. The identification of these pathways may ultimately lead to the development of new therapies targeting better blood glucose control and preventing these subsequent complications. Both animal and human studies have indicated that two endogenous peptides, apelin and relaxin both act as vasodilators in the human cardiovascular system and could also have beneficial action in T2DM. Therefore, we aim to carry out experimental medicine studies to test this hypothesis, and explore the signalling pathway in the human vascular system.

This study is designed to evaluate whether epigenetic markers in overweight men with type 1 diabetes (T1D) or type 2 diabetes (T2D) can be improved with a 3 month lifestyle intervention or program focused in glycemic intervention.

This project proposes to use telemedicine-delivered cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) enhanced with continuous glucose monitor (CGM) review to target diabetes distress in young adults with type 1 diabetes. The efficacy of CBT for diabetes distress (CBT-DD) will be tested in comparison to commercial FDA-approved CGM only in a randomized controlled clinical trial. The investigators central hypothesis is that the addition of a CBT intervention that targets diabetes distress and self-management directly will yield clinically significant improvements in both diabetes distress and glycemic control relative to CGM alone. The investigators propose to recruit 150 young adults (age 18-35) with type 1 diabetes from a national population for an entirely virtual 6-month study over four years, with targeted recruitment of racial/ethnic minorities. In addition to standard measurement of HbA1c for glycemic control and validated patient-reported outcome (PRO) surveys, the investigators plan to innovatively integrate momentary psychological and behavioral data via smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment with CGM data to assess day-to-day changes in diabetes distress, affect, self-management, and glycemia over the course of the trial.
