Continuous Glucose Monitoring for Hyperglycemia in Critically Ill Patients

HyperglycemiaHypoglycemia2 more

The investigators intend to conduct a single-center, prospective, randomized comparative trial of patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) who received continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) vs point of care (POC) glucose monitoring. The study will examine relevant outcomes for patients in the ICU with diabetes mellitus and/or hyperglycemia. The primary outcome of the study will be the proportion of time in target range (blood glucose 70-180 mg/dL).

Metformin to Treat Corticosteroids-induced Hyperglycemia

Pregnancy PretermGlycemic Control1 more

Antenatal corticosteroids, particularly, betamethasone is routinely administered to pregnant women at risk for preterm delivery to improve neonatal outcomes. Although antenatal betamethasone was shown to induce both maternal hyperglycemia and neonatal hypoglycemia, to date, there is insufficient data to establish whether treatment for maternal hyperglycemia, particularly, metformin, will decrease the risk for neonatal hypoglycemia, particularly of preterm neonates. In the present study the investigators will examine the effect of treatment with metformin on maternal glycemic control and hypoglycemia in preterm neonates following maternal betamethasone treatment.

Remote Glucose Monitoring in Hospital Settings

Diabetes MellitusType 22 more

Use of real-time continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM) systems in inpatient settings especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, may allow hospital staff to remotely monitor glucose while reducing viral exposure and preserving use of PPE. RT-CGM may be of benefit to inpatients with unstable glycaemia and at risk of severe hypoglycaemia, as it can automatically alert the treating clinical team of hypo and hyperglycaemia. This is of clinical relevance as up to 45% of inpatients with diabetes were found to have asymptomatic hypoglycaemia events in hospital, especially overnight. It may therefore provide a safer method of monitoring glycaemia in hospital compared to conventional bedside capillary glucose testing, by minimising the likelihood of hyper- and hypoglycaemic events and their known associated worse outcomes. The aim of this pilot study is to to demonstrate that use of Dexcom G6 RT-CGM may provide a safer and effective method of monitoring glycemia in hospital. Data from this pilot study will be used to design and implement a larger multi-centre pivotal trial.

Olive Polyphenols in Cardiovascular Prevention.

Metabolic SyndromeHigh Blood Pressure3 more

The aim of this study is to evaluate whether the use of a commercially available standardized olive extract (Tensiofytol) and a commercially available combination preparation (Cholesfytol NG) by individuals with metabolic syndrome Leads to a clinically relevant reduction of blood pressure on the short term, Leads to a clinically relevant reduction of cholesterol levels, especially LDL, Leads to a change in oxidative stress biomarkers. Participants will be stratified by sex and menopausal status before randomization to one of the three treatments for 8 weeks: Tensiofytol: 100 mg oleuropein and 20 mg hydroxytyrosol per day Cholesfytol NG: 2.9 mg monacoline K and 10 mg hydroxytyrosol per day Placebo All treatments have an identical shape and color and should be used in the same way (oral intake; 3 capsules/day during dinner). No dietary instructions are given and participants are asked not to change their dietary habits, nor to start other therapies (medication, supplements, slimming diets, extra physical activity, etc.) during their study period. Standardized questionnaires are used to obtain information on demographics, dietary habits and side effects. At baseline and after 8 weeks, 27 ml blood is drawn for various biological analyses, and blood pressure, BMI and waist circumference are measured.

Insulin Therapy for Postreperfusion Hyperglycemia

Hyperglycaemia (Diabetic)Liver Transplantation

Glycemic control during liver transplantation is challenging especially after reperfusion of the liver graft. Insulin dose to treat postreperfusion hyperglycemia is retrospectively analyzed using historical data. The proposed dose then is prospectively applied to the patients to assess the adequacy of the insulin dose.

Pre-meals of 3-hydroxybutyrate in Type 2 Diabetes

KetosisPostprandial Hyperglycemia1 more

Hyperglycemia following meals in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a common problem. Recently, our group found that oral consumption of the ketone metabolite, 3-hydroxybutyrate (3-OHB), effectively stimulates insulin secretion and delays gastric emptying.The aim of this study is to investigate the dose/response relationship between 3-OHB servings of 0, 10, 20 and 40 grams 30 minutes before an OGTT and, ii) investigate the role of timing by serving 20 grams of 3-OHB at different timepoints ahead of an OGTT (0, 30 and 60 minutes)

Degludec Insulin Use in Critically Ill Patients

Diabetes MellitusCritical Illness1 more

Background: Dysglycemia in critically ill patients is common, where 40% to 54% of patients were found to be hyperglycemic on intensive care unit admission. Several randomized controlled trials (RCT) were conducted to address the importance of glycemic control during critical illness on patient's outcomes. The American association of diabetes recommends initiation of insulin infusion for critically ill patients aiming to target glucose levels 140-180 mg/dl. However, several limitations prevent the use of insulin infusion in critically ill such as the requirements of frequent blood glucose measurement and nursing staff workload, which in turn led to the use of the subcutaneous rapid acting and basal insulin during critical illness. The evidence on the use of subcutaneous insulin therapy compared to insulin infusion is mainly derived from observational studies that showed conflicting results. Multiple RCTs demonstrated the comparable efficacy of degludec versus glargine in blood glycemic control and better safety profile in terms of nocturnal hypoglycemia and severe hypoglycemia in the outpatient/inpatient diabetic population. Studies addressing the role, safety, and efficacy of degludec in critically ill patients are lacking. Study aim: To assess the effectiveness of using insulin degludec as basal insulin in conjunction with subcutaneous regular insulin sliding scale (ISS) in the glycemic control in critically ill patients.

Therapeutic Intervention of Eriomin Associated With Metformin in the Control of Hyperglycemia in...

Pre-diabetes

Citrus bioflavonoids, such as eriocitrin, hesperidin and naringin, have been shown improved hyperglycemia, insulin resistance and systemic inflammation, related to the development of type 2 diabetes. The nutraceutical Eriomin, a lemon flavonoid extract composed mainly by eriocitrin (70%) and other flavonoids (30%), improved the control of moderate hyperglycemia in pre-diabetic and diabetic patients without drug therapy. However, most patients with pre-diabetes are on oral biguanide (metformin) therapy, despite its limited efficacy (30-40%) on glycemic control and its undesirable gastrointestinal effects. Therefore, in the current study, Eriomin will be administered at a dose of 250 mg/d to adults diagnosed with pre-diabetes and being treated with metformin (1,000 mg/d). This clinical trial was designed as a placebo-control, double-blind, two-arm, crossover design. Clinical characteristics, body composition, food consumption, metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers and the microbiota of all patients will be evaluated before, during and at the end of the 12-week period (arm). Biochemical and metabolic parameters associated with prediabetes are expected to improve or return to normal with Eriomin in combination with metformin. At the same time, an increase in beneficial intestinal bacteria is expected, reducing pre-diabetic dysbiosis, and perhaps a noticeable improvement in body composition.

Early Versus Conventional Cessation of Hydrocortisone in Septic Shock

Septic ShockAdverse Event5 more

Septic shock is one of the causes of death in ICU and hospital. Refractory shock is the problem which healthcare providers should recognize though it is difficult to handle with. The corticosteroid called hydrocortisone is one of the treatment in refractory septic shock which requires vasopressor to maintain blood pressure. In recovery phase of septic shock and weaning off vasopressor, there is no definite way to taper off hydrocortisone.
