Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

The purpose of this prospective exploratory study is to compare sleep quality and sleep-wake patterns in parents of children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) before and several weeks after initiating using real-time continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM) of their children.

24 children (12 African-American, Hispanic, or American Indian, 12 Caucasian) previously diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus will participate in this pilot study to evaluate the presence of hepatic and peripheral insulin resistance. The investigators will use this pilot information to test the hypothesis that insulin resistance occurs in some children with type 1 DM, is secondary to underlying risk factors, and is responsible for increased insulin needs. Methods will include a "step-up" hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp and infusion of the stable isotope 6,6-[2H2]-glucose. Patient and parent interviews will be conducted to gather information about nutritional intake, ethnicity, family history, and socioeconomic status. The investigators will also measure inflammatory cytokines and free fatty acids to determine whether they are associated with differences in insulin resistance among type 1 diabetes mellitus patients.

Diabetic nephropathy (kidney problems caused by diabetes) is a devastating chronic vascular complication of diabetes. New treatments are urgently needed for preventing or slowing down the progression of diabetic kidney disease. Samples of serum/plasma/urine will be obtained from patients with diabetes and different degree of renal impairment. In this project cells in culture will be treated with plasma or serum or urine; cells extracts or supernatant will be studied to screen for modulation (activation/inhibition) of different cellular pathways using gene array, metabolomic and/or proteomic. Once some cellular pathways have been identified specific analysis will be conducted on the biological material collected to confirm specific "cell signatures" that could represent potential target for treatment.

The investigators' objective is to understand the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus in Fibrous dysplasia/McCune-Albright syndrome (FD/MAS) by: 1) establishing the contributions of insulin resistance versus impaired insulin secretion, 2) investigating presence of excess glucagon signaling by measuring gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis, and 3) investigating a potential interaction between diabetes and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs).

Autoimmunity is the main cause of diabetes type 1 and an important factor as cause of Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA). Recently, research has found that being deficient of T-reg cells is an important cause of autoimmunity. The study hypothesis are: Patients with newly found diabetes type 1 have less T-reg than healthy. Patients with newly found diabetes type 1 have less T-reg than patients with long duration of the illness. The number of T-reg is negative associated with HLA-risk-haplotype. The number of T-reg is negative associated with LADA. Differences relating to inflammatory cytokines will be seen among patients with newly found diabetes type 1, but not among others.

The purpose of the study is to collect information about how NovoMix® 30 works in real world adult population with type 2 diabetes. Participants will get NovoMix® 30 as prescribed by the study doctor. The study will last for about 6-8 months. Participants will be asked questions about their health and their diabetes treatment as part of their study doctor's appointment.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the change score for the PedsQL short form Diabetes and Core Modules and the Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care measured at baseline (before changing care delivery models) and 12 months after transitioning to the team model of care delivery.

This is a Single Patient Investigational New Drug (IND) to golimumab subcutaneous (SC) for the treatment of recently diagnosed Stage 3 type-1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) in children and young adults. The main purpose of a single patient IND is to provide treatment to participants with serious/life-threatening diseases or conditions prior to marketing authorization.

The purpose of this protocol is to provide continued acess to immunosuppressive medications to subjects from the completed/closed trial ITN005CT (NIS01,NCT00014911). THIS PROTOCOL DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICINES TO DIABETES PATIENTS WHO DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN ITN005CT.

The objective of this Treatment IND protocol is to provide Generex Oral-lyn™ to patients with serious or life-threatening Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus, with no satisfactory alternative therapy available for treatment of diabetes, and who are not eligible to participate in the ongoing pivotal clinical trial (Protocol GEN-084-OL). This protocol is intended as a substitute for the Single Patient IND mechanism to obtain Generex Oral-lyn™.
