Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

Therapeutic inertia may result from providers, patients, and/or systems, but can be detrimental to a patients' health by putting them at risk for diabetes complications, though addressing it early can mitigate some of its effects. In Type 2 diabetes (T2D) care, this may look like failure to initiate metformin therapy early in the disease course. This project aims to evaluate the effects of proactive outreach by a non-physician clinician (Accountable Population Manager [APM]) to patients with newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetes. The team hypothesizes individuals receiving proactive outreach by an APM will be more likely to achieve glycemic targets at 6 months following start of the intervention.

To improve diabetes self-management outcomes, patients with type 2 diabetes (n=150 - aged 13-84) recruited from St. Vincent Clinic (SVC) and Teen Health Center Inc., Clinics will be randomized using block randomization to receive standard of care or the integrated model. Patients in the intervention arm will be assessed for social and physical needs before being enrolled in a year-long education program (iDSMES). Enrollees will receive dietary counseling, physical and occupational therapy, in addition to other mental, financial and social benefits counseling. The investigators will compare the intervention outcomes.

The purpose of this study is to compare three different therapeutic and nutritional approaches during a prolonged aerobic exercise in moderately active type 1 diabetes people using advanced technologies, to identify the best strategy for the management of this type of exercise. Participants will be randomly assigned to different interventions in three different occasions: insulin therapy adjustment; nutritional adjustment; combination of insulin and nutritional adjustment.

Hypertension and diabetes mellitus (DM) are highly prevalent in low and middle-income countries, and the proportion of patients with uncontrolled diseases is higher than in high income countries. Innovative strategies are required to surpass barriers of low sources, distance, and quality of healthcare. Our aim is to assess the uptake and effectiveness of the implementation of an integrated multidimensional strategy in the primary care setting, for the management of patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus (DM) in Brazil. This is a scale up implementation study that has mixed-methods, and comprehends four steps: (1) needs assessment, including a standardized structured questionnaire and focus groups with healthcare practitioners; (2) baseline period, three months before the implementation of the intervention; (3) cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a 12-month follow-up period; and (4) a qualitative study after the end of follow-up. The cluster RCT will randomize 35 centres to intervention (n= 18) or usual care (n= 17). Patients ≥18 years-old, with diagnosis of hypertension and/or DM, of five Brazilian cities in a resource-constrained area will be enrolled. The intervention consists of a multifaceted strategy, with a multidisciplinary approach, including telehealth tools (decision support systems, short message service, telediagnosis), continued education with an approach to issues related to the care of people with hypertension and diabetes in primary care, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment and behavioural change. The project has actions focused on professionals and patients.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of an adapted FAMS (Family/friend Activation to Motivate Self-care) intervention on CGM use among study participants who are CGM users. We will leverage the infrastructure of an NIDDK-funded RCT evaluating FAMS-T1D among N=280 emerging adults with T1D who have elevated hemoglobin A1c or elevated diabetes distress (NCT05820477). We anticipate at least 50% using CGM to be included in these analyses.

Hispanic adults are twice as likely to have type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and 1.5 times more likely to die from the disease than non-Hispanic whites. These disparities are mediated, in part, by less healthful levels of physical activity, dietary quality, medication adherence, and self-monitoring of blood glucose than non-Hispanic whites. Innovative approaches that arise from affected communities are needed to address these health disparities. Community-based participatory research (CBPR) has been successful in targeting health issues among Hispanic and immigrant populations; CBPR is an effective approach for addressing health behaviors in a sociocultural context. In 2004, the research team developed a CBPR partnership between immigrant communities and academic institutions called Rochester Healthy Community Partnership (RHCP) Storytelling or narrative-based interventions are designed to incorporate culture-centric health messaging to promote behavior change among vulnerable populations. Digital storytelling interventions are narrative-based videos elicited through a CBPR approach to surface the authentic voices of individuals overcoming obstacles toward engaging in health promoting behaviors to shape positive health behaviors of viewers through influences on attitudes and beliefs. RHCP partners from Hispanic communities identified T2D as a priority area for intervention, and have co-created each of the formative phases leading up to this proposal. Narrative theory and social cognitive theory formed the conceptual basis for intervention development. The study team conducted surveys and focus groups to derive the approach and personnel for building an authentic intervention that was created in a digital storytelling workshop where stories about diabetes self-management were captured, recorded, and edited to derive the final intervention products in video forma. The respective digital storytelling videos were pilot tested with 25 patients across healthcare institutions in Minnesota and Arizona. The intervention was rated as highly acceptable, culturally relevant, and perceived as efficacious for motivating behavioral change. The overall objective of this project is therefore to assess the efficacy of a digital storytelling intervention derived through a CBPR approach on self-management of T2D among Hispanic adults.

This is a three-arm, parallel randomized trial study that will assess the impact of home delivery of medically-tailored meals (MTM) to community-dwelling older adults living with diabetes mellitus type 2 on measurements of diabetes control, mental health, and other exploratory outcomes such as healthcare use.

Background: The disease burden of hypertension(HTN) and type 2 diabetes mellitus(DM) is rising rapidly in China.Comprehensive interventions(Implementation strategies for providers and interventions for patients) are critical to strengthen primary health care systems and address the burden of multiple comorbidities. In order to promote equal access to health services and narrow the gap in population health, China has launched the national Essential Public Health Services Equity Programme (EPHSEP) nationwide. EPHSEP contains guidelines for health management services for HTN and type 2 DM. The program has been in operation for 10 years. However, the management of HTN and type 2 DM in China is far from satisfactory. The purpose of this study is to understand current control and management situation of HTN and type 2 DM, investigate the barriers and facilitators in the implementation of HTN and type 2 DM service delivery standards, propose feasible implementation strategies,implement in certain areas,and to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions and the performance and impact of implementation strategies. Methods: Based on previous work,four community health service centres and four township health centres will be selected in West Coast District of Qingdao city of Shandong province,Suzhou City of Jiangsu province, Changsha city of Hunan province and Luohe city of Henan Province.In each of the four provinces,one community health service center and one township health center will be selected.Two community health service centres and two township health centres will be selected as the intervention groups, and the other community health service centres and township health centres will be selected as the control groups. The study will be divided into three phases: Phase 1, 2 and 3. Phase 1 and phase 2 cross-sectional studies are the basis for phase 3 intervention studies. Phase 1 will be conducted from March 2022 to April 2022.In phase 1, a quantitative questionnaire survey will be conducted among 5464 HTN and 7040 type 2 DM patients in 8 community health service centers to obtain the data of awareness rate, screening rate, diagnosis rate, treatment rate, control rate and management service of hypertension and type 2 diabetes patients,so as to understand current control and management situation of HTN and type 2 DM. Phase 2 will be conducted in April 2022. In phase 2, about 64 medical staff and related managers providing HTN and type 2 DM health management services and 80 patients with HTN and type 2 DM in 8 community health service centers will be investigated through qualitative interviews,so as to investigate the barriers and facilitators in the implementation of HTN and type 2 DM service delivery standards and to propose feasible implementation strategies. Phase 3 will be conducted a mixed-methods type 2 hybrid effectiveness-implementation study from May 2022 to January 2023. Interventions are divided into four levels through a cascading model of screening, diagnosis, treatment, and control. Implementation strategies are divided into 6 categories according to Implementation Mapping: Capacity-building strategies（Recruit, designate, and train for leadership; Work with educational institutions), Supervision(Provide clinical supervision), Integration strategies(Remind clinicians; Use data warehousing techniques), Implementation process Strategies(Identify and prepare champions; Identify early adopters; Inform local opinion leaders; Involve patients/consumers and family members; Obtain and use patients/consumers and family feedback), Dissemination strategies(Make training dynamic), Scale-up strategies(Use train-the-trainer strategies;Place innovation on fee for service lists/formularies). We will adopt between site design to select 4（2*2 ）community health service centers and 4（2*2）township health centers, among which 2 community health service centers and 2 township health centers will implement the strategy, while the other selected sites will not implement the strategy. The 2*2 community health service centers and 2*2 township health centers will be divided into group matching control and self pre- and post-control. In phase 3, 2280 patients with HTN and 2656 patients with type 2 DM will be surveyed by quantitative questionnaire, and about 64 medical staff and related managers providing HTN and type 2 DM health management services will be surveyed by qualitative interview. This is to implement improved implementation strategies and to assess the effectiveness of interventions and the performance and impact of implementation strategies.

Diabetes mellitus is one of the four priority non-communicable diseases worldwide. Globally, 425 million adults suffered from diabetes mellitus (7.2-11.3%) in 2017 and the International Diabetes Federation estimates an increase of 48% of the prevalence until 2045. Type 2 diabetes, which is the most common type of diabetes, is mainly seen in adults older than 40 years. Diabetes can lead to serious long-term complications as well as a lower quality of life, worse mental health, and a reduced life expectancy. Due to the chronical character of diabetes, the disease requires continuous therapy, regular medical appointments, and good adherence of those suffering. Therefore, diabetes self-management education (DSME) plays a significant role to increase patient's self-management capacity and improve diabetes therapy. Research indicates that these outcomes might be difficult to maintain and seem to decline soon after DSME ends. Consequently, effective strategies to preserve the positive effects of DSME are needed. Preliminary results show that peer support, which means support from a person who has experiential knowledge of a specific behaviour or stressor and similar characteristics as the target population, is associated with better outcomes in terms of HbA1c, cardiovascular disease risk factors or self-efficacy at lower cost compared to standard therapy. Although those results are promising, research on peer support in diabetes care is still in its infancy and the influence of various factors is unclear. Peer support instant messaging services (IMS) approaches have significant potential for diabetes management because support can be provided easily and prompt, is inexpensive, and needs less effort to attend compared to standard therapy. Furthermore, almost half of the 40-69-year-old age group, which is mostly affected by the onset of type 2 diabetes, use IMS. The major objective of the project is to analyse the impact of a peer supported IMS intervention in addition to a standard diabetes therapy on the glycaemic control of type 2 diabetic patients. A total of 205 participants (196 participants and 9 moderators) with type 2 diabetes mellitus, older than 40 years will be included and randomly assigned to the intervention or control group. Both groups will receive standard therapy, but the intervention group will use the peer support IMS tool, additionally. The duration of the intervention will last for seven months, followed by a follow-up of seven months. Biochemical, behavioural, and psychosocial parameters will be measured before, in the middle, and after the intervention as well as after the follow-up.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if access to a diabetes coach improves quality of life (QOL) for families of children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are: Determine if there are beneficial effects on diabetes-related QOL at the end of the 6-month intervention. Determine if potential beneficial effects persist beyond completion of the support intervention, as measured by diabetes-related QOL at 12 months and 24 months following diagnosis Participants assigned to the intervention group will have access to a diabetes coach for 6 months following type 1 diabetes diagnosis. They will be compared to participants who are assigned to the control group and are receiving usual care.
