Active clinical trials for "Hypoglycemia"

The purpose of this study is to use 24 hour continuous glucose monitoring in older patients with diabetes who present with symptoms of falls, or dizziness, or confusion, that may indicate hypoglycaemia.

This study is to evaluate the concept of the exenatide test for diagnosis of EHH (earlier induction of symptomatic hypoglycemia compared to placebo within 4 hours after injection).

The purpose of this study is to look at feasibility (the likelihood) of continued use of the FreeStyle Libre 2 Continuous glucose monitor (CGM) when started at the time of hospital discharge in patients with poorly controlled diabetes and to look at the effects of CGM use on blood glucose control and quality of life. Additional information will be collected to determine the barriers to continuing CGM use after discharge. The investigators will also collect information to see how well blood glucose has been controlled after discharge while utilizing the CGM.

The overall aim of this study is to prevent hypoglycemic events in patients with hypoglycemia after a meal and to develop a sustainable hypoglycemia correction strategy.

Almost all people who have had type 1 diabetes for 5 years have a defect in secretion of the hormone Glucagon. This hormone is involved in the body's response to low blood glucose (hypoglycaemia). It works by releasing glucose stores from the liver to bring the blood glucose back to normal. This defect therefore increases the risk of severe hypoglycaemia. The reason for this Glucagon defect in people with Type 1 diabetes is currently unknown. This study aims to look at the Glucagon response to hypoglycaemia in 24 people with type 1 diabetes to ascertain whether tight blood glucose control over a period of time improves this response. The investigators aim to achieve good blood glucose control using new generation Automated Insulin Delivery systems (AIDs). This system is made of: an insulin pump, a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and an algorithm that allows adjustment of insulin delivery based on the blood glucose readings from the CGM. This is the most up to date technology that there is in the management of type 1 diabetes. However, people using this technology often still have problems with high blood glucose after eating. To ensure a very good blood glucose control participants will also follow a low carbohydrate diet to prevent this blood glucose rise after meals. The Glucagon response to low blood glucose will be measured at zero and eight months using the hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemic clamp technique.

This study will evaluate the impact of academic detailing (evidence-based provider education) with or without patient pre-visit preparation (elicitation of values and preferences) on safe insulin de-prescribing among older patients with type 2 diabetes at risk for hypoglycemia. The hypothesis is that patients who are well-prepared for their primary care visit will engage in more informed discussions with their providers regarding re-evaluation of current treatment regimens. In clinically appropriate cases, these more effective discussions will result in safe de-prescribing and fewer future episodes of hypoglycemia.

The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of an electronic medical record clinical decision support tool on rates of dysglycemia in the hospital, and its clinical and economical outcomes. The study also evaluates the perspectives of providers regarding the tool's usefulness on disease management support, knowledge, and practice performance.

We will study the effect of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) on baroreflex sensitivity in participants with well controlled type 2 diabetes.

The study is conducted to assess the efficacy of real-time CGM data in preventing hypoglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), treated with insulin therapy and receiving hemodialysis.

There are evidences that some healthcare teams are not proposing new therapeutic and technology options that have the potential to reduce hypoglycemia for people with type 1 diabetes. In practice, people living with type 1 diabetes report receiving education related to insulin pumps usage mainly on key functions (how the device works) at initiation and not enough about proactive adjustments (how to optimally use the device) especially on the long-term. In brief, short-term education is technical and product-specific, rather than being based on patients' needs.There is a need to test the efficacy of different programs that may be more suited to patients' needs and desires while offering the opportunity to reduce costs (e.g. web based). Since there is a lack of expertise related to optimal use of new technologies and therapies for people living with type 1 diabetes, we propose to design and test a web-based training (e.g. courses including videos and quizzes) and support (e.g. discussion forum) platform. This will be tested through a registry-based trial. The overall purpose of this study is to evaluate, among a group of adults living with type 1 diabetes, the SUPPORT online education platform in terms of users' satisfaction, engagement and efficacy to change the fear and the frequency of hypoglycemia.
