The Effect of Cold Exposure on Glucose Tolerance
HyperglycemiaThe purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of cold exposure on an individual's glucose tolerance. Previous research has already shown that 10 days acclimation to a mild cold environment (14-15°C) can enhance insulin sensitivity. However, the duration in the cold environment was 6 hours per day which may not be practical for everyone. Therefore, the present study will investigate the effect of a shorter, and more intense cold exposure on an individual's glucose tolerance. It is hypothesised that cold exposure before consuming a glucose drink will enhance glucose clearance.
Enteral Nutrition and Glucose Homeostasis
Hyperglycemia StressDifferent enteral nutrition formulas are tested on their effect on glucose homeostasis in critically ill medical patients.
FreeStyle Libre FGM During Summer Camp for Children With Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 Diabetes MellitusHypoglycemia1 moreA randomized, double-blinded, single center, parallel design pediatric study, on 45 subjects with type 1 diabetes (T1D), aged six to 15 (inclusive) years, measuring sensor time in glucose values within range 3.9 - 10 mmol/l (70 - 180 mg/dl) achieved using the FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System (FGM - intervention, Abbott Diabetes Care, California, USA) versus Self-Monitoring Blood Glucose (SMBG - control). Study duration will be two weeks per subject and two weeks overall, it will take place at youth summer camp for children with T1D. Main inclusion criteria include age of six to 15 (inclusive) years, clinical diagnosis of T1D for at least six months, at least three months of current use of insulin pump therapy, HbA1c between 6.3 and 10 % (both inclusive), no other chronic medical conditions (beside treated hypothyroidism and celiac disease) and no current medications (other than insulin) (detailed list of inclusion and exclusion criteria list can be found at section 6). The objectives of this clinical investigation is: 1. to evaluate the efficacy of glucose control using the FreeStyle Libre FGM in children with T1D during two weeks of summer camp.
Resistance Exercise on Postprandial Hyperglycemia in Patients With B-thalassemia Exhibiting Resistance...
Beta-ThalassemiaInsulin Resistance3 moreIt is known that postprandial hyperglycemia increases the cardiometabolic risk in both diabetic and non-diabetic patients. Moreover, there is insufficient data on the effectiveness of exercise on preventing Type II diabetes mellitus in individuals with insulin resistance and prediabetes. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of resistance exercise in limiting postprandial hyperglycemia and the necessity of prescribing medication particularly in patients with beta-thalassemia and insulin resistance.
Impact of the Rapid Normalization of Chronic Hyperglycemia and the Practice of Moderate Physical...
Type II DiabetesThe rapid normalization of hyperglycemia can cause a neuropathy called Diabetes Treatment-Induced Neuropathy (NITD). This phenomenon induces the presence of hyper vascularization and inflammation in contact with the nerve ends. In another register in patients living with diabetes, it has been observed the development of a rare and devastating complication for the joints called the so-called neuroarthropathy of Charcot (CN).
AVACEN Treatment Method and Postprandial Blood Glucose
Postprandial HyperglycemiaA double-blind crossover randomized controlled trial to investigate the effects of the AVACEN device on postprandial blood glucose. The AVACEN device creates negative pressure around the hand while heating the palm. Two sham devices, one providing heat but no vacuum and one providing neither heat nor vacuum were also used. Each subject will use each of these three devices during the first hour of a 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test on separate visits. Subjects arrived in the morning following an overnight fast. Fasting blood glucose, blood pressure, tympanic temperature, and subjective thermal ratings were measured before and throughout the 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test.
Closed Loop Glucose Control in Intensive Care Unit
Stress HyperglycaemiaThe purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety and feasibility of a computer-based control algorithm to control glucose levels in adults in intensive care unit, in comparison to standard care.
Evaluate Efficacy and Safety in Japanese Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Type 2 DiabetesHigh Blood SugarThis is a 24-week randomised, multi-centre phase III study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin as monotherapy in Japanese subjects with Type 2 diabetes mellitus who have inadequate glycemic control with diet and exercise.
Hospital Insulin Protocol Aims for Glucose Control in Corticosteroid-induced Hyperglycemia
HyperglycemiaThe objective of this study is to determine the best insulin regimen for hospitalized patients who receive high doses of steroids who have high blood glucose.
The Effect of Liraglutide on Left Ventricular Function in Chronic Heart Failure Patients With and...
HyperglycemiaChronic Heart FailureType 2 diabetes (T2D) is a major risk factor of chronic heart failure (CHF). Glycemic control in patients with the combination of T2D and CHF is complicated and the currently available treatments have proven to be inadequate in clinical trials. Objectives To investigate the effect of Liraglutide compared to placebo on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in CHF patients with and without T2D. Multicenter, randomized, double blind study of 240 patients with documented systolic CHF (50% with T2DM) will be randomised. The effect of Liraglutide on left ventricular systolic and diastolic function will be evaluated by advanced echocardiography Primary outcome parameter is change in LVEF from visit 1 to week 24.
