Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

This is a randomized controlled trial of a recommendation system implementation in the treatment of women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The trial assesses the aspects of system effects on maternal glucose control, the fetus and pregnancy outcomes. This study is an interventional, randomized controlled trial, open-labeled.

The major aim is to evaluate accuracy of 2 Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems (CGMS) : Dexcom G6® and FreeStyle Libre® in standardized hypoxemia conditions (artificial normobaric hypoxia). Our purpose is to demonstrate the good performance and calibration of these CGM sensors in hypoxemia conditions.

Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) have changes in blood vessel health that can lead to a higher chance of developing heart attacks or strokes. New medications for T2DM including dapagliflozin, which is a Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2) inhibitor, may help protect the heart and blood vessels. The overarching objective of this mechanistic study is to learn how a Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 (SGT2) inhibitor, dapagliflozin, impacts vascular health in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). The investigators will compare the changes in vascular health to changes in endothelial cell (EC) phenotype including non-coding RNA (ncRNA) to develop evidence supporting the mechanism of cardiovascular benefit of SGLT2 inhibitors. This study will provide novel information regarding the mechanism of effects of novel treatments for endothelial function and vascular health in patients with T2DM to reduce cardiovascular (CV) risk. The research aims to assess the: effects of dapagliflozin on EC phenotype. impact of dapagliflozin on vasodilator function and additional measures of vascular health including arterial stiffness and circulating markers of vascular health.

There is currently no effective intervention for type 1 diabetes and eating disorders. The main objective of STEADY Stage 2 is to test the feasibility of the newly developed STEADY intervention. STEADY was co-designed by using Experience Based Co-Design methodology and other qualitative methods (focus groups, interviews). These findings informed the development of a T1DM cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) manual. The intervention will now be tested in a feasibility Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) in adults with type 1 diabetes and eating disorders and compared with usual clinical care. If STEADY is feasible, this may provide an effective intervention for this population. This study will take place at King's College London. Participants will remain in the study for 6 months, with a 12-month extended observation period. The study is expected to end in February 2023.

The overall aim of this pilot study is to investigate the effects of exercise training on skeletal muscle and adipose tissue insulin resistance in subjects with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D).

This mixed methods study evaluates the effectiveness and feasibility of a multi-level (patient, team, organizations) intervention to optimize CRC screening for patients with diabetes in primary care safety-net settings.

The Wenzhou Gestational Diabetes Cohort (WGDC) is a prospective cohort study among women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) during pregnancy and their offspring living in Wenzhou, China. The primary aim of this cohort is to characterize the continuous blood glucose response to dietary intake and physical activity among pregnant women with GDM over 2 weeks, and to facilitate the development of personalized nutritional/lifestyle recommendation among these patients. Another aim of the WGDC is to investigate the association of dietary and physical activity together with continuous glucose change during pregnancy on the adverse birth outcomes including preterm birth, macrosomia and large-for-gestational-age birth. The secondary aim is to investigate the prospective associations of diet, physical activity and continuous glucose change over 2 weeks among the patients with long-term metabolic health of the women and their offspring.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) confers a high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), particularly among older adults who tend to be physically inactive. Prolonged sedentary behavior (SB) has been shown to negatively influence markers of cardiovascular risk (e.g., blood glucose, blood pressure), even among individuals who are physically active. Most studies that have examined the effects of breaking up SB have focused on young healthy males and prioritized glycemic outcomes. Additionally, sex differences in these outcomes have not been adequately examined. The present study will address these gaps. This 3-arm crossover randomized controlled trial will compare the effects of 3 SB conditions on markers of vascular function. The 3 conditions are: 1) 4 hours of prolonged SB, 2) 4 hours of SB broken up by 5 minutes of self-paced walking every hour, and 3) 4 hours of SB with one 20-minute bout of self-paced walking. In addition to examining the overall effects of each condition, sex differences in physiological responses will be evaluated.

A 3-step project is proposed. Step 1 will test which BPA time point(s) maximize referral rates to DSMES services in the real world clinic setting (Aim 1). Step 2 will utilize that approach within a pilot study of six sites, comparing the effectiveness of peer support to improve attendance to DSMES services (Aim 2). Step 3 will engage stakeholders in designing a future large scale DSMES services trial to improve referral and attendance to DSMES classes.

Diabetes self-management support, education, and training are increasingly being delivered through digital technology such as mobile phones. This protocol aims to evaluate the effectiveness of GLOW, a diabetes companion app with a conversational agent.
