Active clinical trials for "Hyperglycemia"

The goal of this study (CGM utilization with IV Insulin EndoTool and Subcutaneous Insulin in the Neuro ICU) is to understand how CGM technology utilized in conjunction with EndoTool IV insulin could improve glycemic management in the NeuroICU, specifically in predicting and preventing hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic episodes with resultant improvement in patient morbidity and mortality. The second arm of the study will focus on how CGM technology utilized in patients on basal bolus subcutaneous insulin while on high dose glucocorticoids could impact glycemic management. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is CGM technology data accurate compared to the current standard point of care among NeuroICU patients? How CGM technology could improve glycemic management in the critical care setting, specifically in predicting and preventing hypoglycemic episodes with IV or subcutaneous insulin? How CGM technology could help treating hyperglycemia in the NeuroICU with resultant improvement in patient morbidity, mortality, and length of stay?

Objective: To establish a study cohort and follow up of patients with CKD in our hospital, and evaluate the status of integrated CKD diagnosis and treatment according to guidelines in the real world, as well as the clinical prognosis of patients with different stratification. Methods: By establishing a cohort of 1000 patients with CKD and conducting long-term follow-up, integrated diagnosis and treatment for CKD was performed, namely: Regular monitoring, control of blood pressure, blood glucose, blood lipid, correction of anemia, minerals - bone metabolic abnormalities, malnutrition, acid and alkali, and electrolyte disorder, diet and exercise, such as the guidance of integrated management, non intrusive, observational studies, prospective cohort were analyzed retrospectively, describe the implementation of the integration of diagnosis and treatment, chronic kidney disease (CKD) Stratified analysis and risk factor analysis were performed for cardiovascular disease and other main endpoint events, so as to objectively reflect the status of integrated treatment of CKD and provide data support for continuous quality improvement of CKD diagnosis and treatment and improvement of clinical prognosis of patients.

In a randomized controlled trial we will research the effect of calorie restriction with early and mid-day time-restricted eating (TRE) and daily calorie restriction on weight loss and human health parameters. Participants will be divided into three groups: early time-restriction group (8:00 AM to 4:00 PM), mid-day restriction group (1:00 PM to 9:00 PM) and daily calorie restriction group (8:00 AM to 9:00 PM). Participants will follow dietary strategy with three planned meals and calorie restriction. Anthropometrical and biochemical parameters will be measured at baseline, after one month, two months and at after three months of intervention. Resting metabolic rate, ultrasound scan of abdomen and ultrasound scan of carotid arteries will be measured at baseline and after three months of intervention. In addition, stool samples will be also taken at baseline and after three months of intervention.

This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-controlled trial (24 weeks in total), divided into three periods (screening, treatment, and discontinuation follow-up)

This is an observational study of patients with severe acute brain injury, which aims to characterize the development of hyperglycaemia and hyperlactataemia and the influence of these markers on clinical outcome. Additionally, in a subgroup of patients undergoing advanced multimodal neuromonitoring on either clinical or research indication, the relationship between hyperglycaemia and brain glucose levels as well as systemic and microdialysis lactate will be examined.

Dunnigan's syndrome is a partial familial lipodystrophy due to a mutation in the Lamine A LMNA gene. This very rare syndrome is 20 times more common in Réunion compared to the rest of Europe with several families suffering from a unique variant of LMNA, the p.(Thr655Asnfs*49) variant known as the "Reunion variant", the appearance of which in Reunion dates back to the 17th century. This variant is expressed in homozygous and heterozygous form and has only been identified in subjects from Reunion. Clinically, patients with Dunnigan's have an absence of subcutaneous fatty tissue which mainly affects the lower part of the body and leads to severe insulin resistance responsible for early diabetes. To detect these metabolic complications as early as possible, an annual follow-up of the subjects is recommended with the performance of an OGTT test annually in non-diabetic subjects. This problem is identical for patients with cystic fibrosis leading to the same recommendation. However, whether in our experience of monitoring patients with Dunningan's lipodystrophy, in subjects at risk of diabetes or in subjects with cystic fibrosis, the OGTT test and even more so its repetition is poorly accepted, which can lead to lack of patient follow-up. An alternative solution to the OGTT is therefore justified. In the literature, different avenues have been explored. First, given oral glucose intolerance, replacement with a standardized breakfast has been explored in several studies. Another alternative tested in the population of subjects with cystic fibrosis is the use of an interstitial glucose sensor for screening for carbohydrate abnormalities. In view of the literature, we formulate several hypotheses that will be tested in our study: The intake of a standardized breakfast containing 75g of carbohydrates is comparable to the ingestion of 75g of glucose on the result of the OGTT test at 120 min for the diagnosis of carbohydrate abnormalities (diabetes and prediabetes) in patients with Dunnigan's lipodystrophy. The continuous recording of interstitial glycaemia over several days allows the diagnosis of glucidic abnormalities equivalent to the classic OGTT in this population; possibly by identifying glycemic variations not seen by a single OGTT test. Thus the installation of an interstitial sensor over several days could be an alternative to the realization of the OGTT in the identification of carbohydrate disorders in patients with Dunnigan's lipodystrophy. There will be a similar profile but a time lag between venous glycemic curves and interstitial blood glucose measurements after OGTT. Replacing the oral glucose load of the classic OGTT (gold standard) with a standardized carbohydrate breakfast leads to similar interstitial glycaemia curves but with a time lag.

Preterm infants (gestational age (GA) at birth < 31 weeks) admitted to the University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital NICU will have a Dexcom G6 sensor Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) placed shortly after consent and wear the device for up to 10 days. The low alarm threshold will be set at 60 mg/dL or 80mg/dL (depending on whether they are receiving continuous insulin) to detect the potential for hypoglycemia. A suggestion will be made to the clinical team to draw a blood glucose to correlate with CGM values ≤60 mg/dL and the infant will be treated according to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) protocol for corroborating blood glucose levels. Infants will also be monitored per current NICU protocol (blood glucose checks every 1-2 hours while on insulin) and treated accordingly. Clinical data and long-term growth, body composition and neurodevelopmental outcomes will be recorded.

The study is designed to determine whether seaweed extract added to a carbohydrate-rich meal, can lower blood glucose levels after its consumption, and hence lower its glycaemic index, and if this effect is mediated through effects on insulin. It is designed as an acute, randomised, cross-over, controlled, three-arm dietary intervention trial in healthy subjects. Participants will be asked to consume either white bread, white bread with lower dose of seaweed extract or white bread with higher dose of seaweed extract.The effects on plasma glucose levels and levels of insulin will be determined over 3 hours after the consumption.

The purpose of this study is to learn more about changes in glucose levels in hospitalized infants with intestinal failure receiving parenteral nutrition or PN (nutrients delivered intravenously), as they transition from continuous PN (given 24 hours a day) to cycled PN (given less than 24 hours a day). There is an increased risk of glucose abnormalities with cycled PN, which can be harmful to infant growth and brain health. Continuous glucose monitors (CGM) will be used to measure interstitial glucose levels (in the tissue under the skin), which are similar to blood glucose levels. CGM is a small, minimally-invasive sensor worn on the thigh, which gives a glucose measurement every 5 minutes, and can help us understand changes in blood sugar levels without having to do a blood draw or fingerstick. CGM will be used during PN cycling for up to 30 days or until hospital discharge. CGM data will be hidden from the clinical team, there will be no change to routine clinical care. This study may help us understand how cycled PN affects glucose levels in infants with intestinal failure, which may help other children treated with cycled PN in the future.

To the investigator's knowledge, there are no data available in the current literature regarding the acute effects of postprandial hyperglycemia and insulin timing on myocardial perfusion in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Observational studies using CEU in type 2 diabetes demonstrate that postprandial hyperglycemia determines myocardial perfusion defects. The investigator hypothesizes that the combination of postprandial hyperglycemia and insulin increases pulse wave velocity (i.e., aortic stiffness) and myocardial vasoconstriction, thereby reducing myocardial perfusion in T1D when compared to healthy controls. Furthermore, the investigator hypothesizes in T1D that dosing insulin before meal intake will ameliorate these cardiovascular defects.
