Active clinical trials for "Hypoglycemia"

The goal of this pilot study is to evaluate the magnitude of changes in glucose and hormone levels in response to structured exercise in the fasting state in individuals with post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH). This pilot study will assess the adequacy of a protocol to test the following hypotheses: (1) hypoglycemia will develop in individuals with PBH in response to exercise; (2) counterregulatory hormonal responses to hypoglycemia during exercise are impaired in individuals with PBH.

The purpose of this study is to test if a specific research medication could increase the response to low blood glucose in people with type 1 diabetes. The response of the body to low blood sugar will be measured in healthy people as a reference point.

The project will evaluate 1) the postprandial metabolism and 2) continuous glucose levels in subjects diagnosed with Idiopathic Ketotic Hypoglycemia (IKH)) and healthy control subjects.

This study tests the hypothesis that, compared to prior normal blood sugar, prior low blood sugar impairs cardiovascular autonomic function. The proposed studies will also test the hypothesis that the effects of prior low blood sugar on cardiovascular autonomic function are blocked by administration of a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist.

An experimental mechanistic study. The overall objective is to gain new knowledge about mechanisms involved in adaptation to recurrent hypoglycaemia in diabetes by investigating patients with type 1 diabetes and healthy controls. The knowledge to be obtained may feed into experimental hypoglycaemic clamp studies to further elucidate the effect of the adaptations during acute hypoglycaemia. Ultimately, it may lead to intervention studies aiming at the maintenance of functional capability during hypoglycaemia in patients with type 1 diabetes to reduce their risk of severe hypoglycaemia.

To determine the effect of sympathetic neural and hormonal (epinephrine) input on islet cell hormonal responses to insulin-induced hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetic recipients of intrahepatic islet transplantation. We hypothesize that α-adrenergic (neural) blockage will abolish insulin-mediated suppression of C-peptide, attenuating α-cell glucagon secretion during hypoglycemia, and that β-adrenergic (hormonal) blockage will have no effect. Glucose counterregulatory responses will be measured during hyperinsulinemic euglycemic-hypoglycemic clamps on three occasions with randomized, double-blind administration of the α-adrenergic blocker phentolamine, the β-adrenergic blocker propranolol, or placebo. The demonstration of neural rather than hormonal regulation of the transplanted islet cell response to hypoglycemia is critical for understanding the mechanism for protection from hypoglycemia afforded by intrahepatically transplanted.

VC02-101 will evaluate an experimental cell replacement therapy intended to provide a functional cure to subjects with Type 1 Diabetes and Hypoglycemia Unawareness.

The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between preterm birth, glucose level in the first two hours of life and health related quality of life in the age of 8 months and 7 years

Objectives To 1) examine the ability of the STRIDE (Simplification of Treatment Regimens and Individualized Diabetes Education) educational program to increase deprescribing of high hypoglycemia risk glucose-lowering medications (HRMs) among long term care facility (LTCF) residents with ADRD, 2) assess key implementation constructs (secondary outcomes) of the STRIDE program, including acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility, and 3) validate the primary HRM use outcome measure.

The investigators propose to conduct a study of practices to describe the methods of managing glycemic control in hospitalized patients in critical care. This is a prospective multicenter observational study conducted in Intensive Medicine and Resuscitation departments in France and Belgium. The aim of this study is to carry out an inventory of the current practices of glycemia management as well as their modalities. Being one of the key points of the management, this work will have for main objective to raise the importance of the glycemic variabilities according to the methods of insulin therapies used.
