Active clinical trials for "Hypoglycemia"

Most critically ill patients are confronted with hyperglycaemia, which is associated with an increased mortality and morbidity risk. Normalising these elevated blood glucose levels by intensive insulin therapy may improve patient outcome, but is associated with an increased risk of hypoglycaemia. The LOGIC-2 study hypothesises that the LOGIC-Insulin computerised software algorithm will allow better (less hyperglycaemia) and safer (less hypoglycaemia) blood glucose control in critically ill patients than nurse-directed blood glucose control.

The purpose of the study is to assess the safety, speed of absorption, and onset of action of G-Pump™ (glucagon infusion) at three subcutaneous doses as compared to Novo GlucaGen®, all delivered via an OmniPod® infusion pump to patients with type 1 diabetes.

Bariatric surgery has long been recognized as an effective treatment for grade 3 or grade 2 obesity associated with complications. Among the bariatric surgical procedures, roux-en-y gastric bypass (RYGB) was shown to account for 41% of all bariatric operations at least in the United Sates. Sleeve gastrectomy (SG), that was conceived as the first step before performing a RYGB or a biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch in patients who were super-obese, has recently emerged as a new restrictive bariatric procedure. Reactive hypoglycemia is a late complication affecting up to 72% of RYGB patients although it seems to occur also after SG, in about 3% of the cases. However, until now no prospective studies have investigated the incidence of hypoglycemia after RYGB nor randomized studies have been undertaken to compare the effect of SG to that of RYGB in terms of incidence of hypoglycemic episodes. The primary aim of the present study is to conduct a 1-year randomized trial to compare the incidence of hypoglycemia after RYGB or SG.

This study will recruit drivers with Type 1 diabetes from across the U.S. and assign them to four groups based on their presumed risk level- routine care low risk, routine care high risk, or to one of two Internet interventions focused on reducing hypoglycemia driving. All subjects will be followed for two years to determine whether and which intervention was most effective at reducing hypoglycemia related driving collisions.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether insulin degludec compared to insulin glargine can reduce the risk of symptomatic nocturnal hypoglycaemia in subjects with the greatest potential benefit from optimised insulin treatment, which are patients with type 1 diabetes and high risk of nocturnal severe hypoglycaemia.

Closed-loop strategy is composed of three components: glucose sensor to read glucose levels, insulin pump to infuse insulin and a dosing mathematical algorithm to decide on the required insulin dosages based on the sensor's readings. A dual-hormone closed-loop strategy would regulate glucose levels through the infusion of two hormones: insulin and glucagon. The main objective of this project is to compare the efficacy of single-hormone and dual-hormone closed-loop strategy to regulate overnight glucose levels in a in-patient study in type 1 diabetes adults with hypoglycemia unawareness and documented nocturnal hypoglycemia. The investigators hypothesized that dual-hormone closed-loop strategy is more effective in regulating overnight glucose levels compared to single-hormone closed-loop strategy.

The purpose of this project is to study if intravenous Exenatide is effective at maintaining normal blood glucose levels and preventing low blood glucose levels during surgery.

The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of Victoza (a GLP-1 receptor agonist)on insulin-dose, risk of hypoglycemia and gastric emptying rate during hypoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus, T2D is a disease characterized by an immense growing prevalence world wide with an increased risk of myocardial infarction and stroke. GLP-1 has convincing effects on the high glucose levels in type 2 diabetic patients and is well tolerated. New animal studies indicate a protective effect of GLP-1 in the brain and the heart. The mechanism behind this is yet not known. The study hypothesis is that during hypoglycaemia GLP-1 will stimulate glucose-uptake in the brain and heart independent of insulin and thereby exert protective effects in the brain.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of BHT-3021 injections given weekly for 12 weeks and to evaluate the effect of BHT-3021 on antibody and immune (T cell) responses to autoantigens (e.g. insulin). Changes in pancreatic beta cell function, insulin requirements and blood glucose levels will also be evaluated.
