Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

Glycemic control is often the main indicator of successful diabetes care, but a singular focus on glycemic control may lead to patients' overall health and wellbeing being overlooked or undervalued. The investigators have previously developed an intervention comprised of (a) a set of conversation cards designed to enable patients to identify aspects of life with diabetes important to them and to share them with their clinician to obtain their input; and (b) materials that help clinicians respond to patient concerns. The investigators will now conduct a randomized clinical trial to test the feasibility of the research procedures and efficacy of the intervention with respect to patient reported outcome measures.

The planned intervention, entitled, Supporting Self-Management of Health Behaviors to Optimize Health (SMART-HABITS for Health), aims to provide support for patients with chronic kidney disease, hypertension and diabetes by providing text messages delivered as motivational reminders and support to encourage blood pressure self-monitoring through goal setting, customized task prompts via text message and feedback, leveraging social connections, and use of a gamification design.

This study is a randomized, open labelled, placebo-controlled clinical trial. The main purpose is to verify the superior effect of gut microbiota directed diet intervention over standard diet intervention by evaluating the changes of HbA1c relative to baseline at 16 weeks and 28 weeks of follow-up.

Amidst medical innovations, many Type 1 diabetes patients using advanced therapy show improved control but still suffer from diabetes-related distress. To tackle this, the investigators propose an "enhanced care" model involving healthcare providers and pharmacists. The study compares standard and enhanced care for Type 1 adults, focusing on the pharmacist's role. The main question it aims to answer is : In patients with type 1 diabetes treated with pump or closed-loop therapy, does the improved enhanced care versus conventional layout improve diabetes-related distress at 12 months? Participants will complete a monthly online questionnaire to assess their diabetes-related distress as well as their frequency of use of standard and enhanced care as well as the associated patient satisfaction.

The purpose of this study is to use a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study design to comprehensively investigate the impact of 8-weeks of dietary nitrate supplementation on skeletal muscle blood flow, mitochondrial function, and exercise capacity in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

This study will look at how much weight participants will lose and how much blood sugar control they achieve from the start to the end of the study. The weight loss in participants taking the investigational high dose of semaglutide will be compared to the weight loss in people taking "dummy" medicine and a lower dose of semaglutide. In addition to taking the medicine, participants will have talks with study staff about healthy food choices and how to be more physically active. Participants will either get semaglutide or "dummy" medicine. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Participants are more likely (4 out of 5) to get semaglutide than the "dummy" medicine. The study medicine will be injected briefly, under skin, with a thin needle, typically in the stomach, thighs, or upper arms. After receiving first dose, the dose of semaglutide will be gradually increased until reaching the target dose. The study will last for about 1.5 years.

The study is a prospective, randomized, 52-week double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial in subjects with T1D followed by a 2-year safety follow-up.

An open label, parallel single centre trial of Wharton's Jelly derived allogenic mesenchymal stromal cells repeated treatment to preserve endogenous insulin production in adult patients diagnosed with type 1 diabetes

This is a multicenter, open-label, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial that will be conducted across mainland China. This trial will test the primary hypothesis of whether an intensive treatment strategy (a systolic blood pressure target of <120 mmHg) is more effective than a standard treatment strategy (a systolic blood pressure target of <140 mmHg) in reducing the risk of major cardiovascular disease (non-fatal stroke, non-fatal myocardial infarction, treated or hospitalized heart failure, and cardiovascular deaths) over a follow-up period of up to 5 years among patients with a history of diabetes and elevated systolic blood pressure. The secondary hypotheses are to compare the intensive blood pressure treatment strategy with the standard treatment strategy on dementia and cognitive function, individual components of the primary hypothesis, all-cause mortality, kidney outcomes, quality of life, and injurious falls, et al.

In pregnancies associated with diabetes, lowering glucose to the recommended targets to prevent adverse health outcomes often leads to significant hypoglycemia. Hybrid closed-loop (HCL) therapy, automated insulin delivery using an insulin pump getting feedback from a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), may improve outcomes. This exploratory, novel pilot feasibility randomized clinical trial will evaluate pregnant women with type 1 diabetes (T1D) on HCL therapy or Sensor-Augmented Pump Therapy (SAPT, non-communicating pump and CGM) from the 2nd trimester, throughout pregnancy, and 4-6 weeks post-partum. Comparisons will be made on safety (Specific Aim [SA] 1), indices of glycemic variability and fear of hypoglycemia (SA 2), and quality of life and device satisfaction (SA 3) between groups. Exploratory SA 4 will compare maternal and fetal outcomes between groups. Safety data will include episodes of severe hypoglycemia requiring 3rd party assistance, diabetic ketoacidosis, and skin reactions. Glycemic control will be measured by CGM time spent in glucose ranges (<63, 63-140, >140 mg/dL) and other measures of glycemic variability. Subjects will fill out surveys (Fear of Hypoglycemia, a quality of life survey, and 2 questionnaires about device satisfaction) at baseline, throughout gestation, and early post-partum. Data on maternal and fetal outcomes will be collected. Findings will reveal the safety profile and glucose control with a novel therapy for pregnant women with type 1 diabetes.
