Active clinical trials for "Hypoglycemia"

Managing patients with type1 diabetes when fasting Ramadan is very challenging. Insulin pump offers the advantage of flexibility and precision to administering insulin and has been proven to reduce severe hypoglycemia compared to multi-dose injection (MDI). However, there are extremely limited studies on the difference between insulin pump compared to MDI on the incidence of hypoglycemia and other acute complications during fasting Ramadan The investigators hypothesized that insulin pump would be associated with less hypoglycemic events during fasting Ramadan compared to MDI without deterioration in glycemic control. Results of this study are descriptive but will fill a current gap in knowledge and may contribute to development of future guidelines for the management of type1DM during Ramadan.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the utility of [18F]-DOPA PET to provide improved presurgical planning and distinguish between focal and diffuse forms of HI. The investigators will perform descriptive analysis, relying on visual analysis to diagnose and localize a focal lesion. Our findings will be compared to surgical histopathology to determine sensitivity and specificity or this technique. The investigators will also track patient surgical outcomes, specifically whether the patient is surgically "cured" or still requires medical management to control residual hypoglycemia.

Both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia can be detrimental to hospitalized patients. However, it is not clear which patients are more likely to develop significant problems with hypoglycemia or severe hyperglycemia in the hospital. Our hypothesis is that we will be able to identify risk factors present at admission that identify patients at greater risk of poor inpatient glycemic control

The investigators hypothesise that patients with type 1 diabetes have clinically relevant, but often unrecognised, episodes of arrhythmias linked to episodes of hypoglycaemia and/or clinically significant fluctuations in plasma glucose.

This is a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) between 1994 and 2016 to evaluate incidence of malglycemia and the relationship to specific outcomes.

The investigators are investigating the "biochemical fingerprint" of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) in the breath of people with type 1 diabetes.

Objective to explore the high risk factors and inducements of consciousness disorder in patients with hypoglycemia, and to conduct a retrospective study.

Patients with diabetes who develop low blood sugars (hypoglycemia) in the hospital are at risk for losing the ability to develop symptoms that warn them that they are having a low blood sugar. There is almost no available information investigating how the inability to feel symptoms of a low blood sugar contributes to the risk of this happening when people with diabetes are hospitalized. The purpose of this study is to develop a symptom score model that will help to identify patients at risk for low blood sugars in the hospital and to examine what happens to patients who do experience a low blood sugar in the hospital.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of islet transplants from human cadaver donors into type 1 or surgical diabetes mellitus patients who experience frequent acute or advanced chronic complications but do not qualify for other islet transplant trials. Under this protocol, patients may receive intraportal alloislet transplant under one of the following scenarios: islet transplant alone simultaneous islet-kidney transplant, or 3)islet after kidney transplant.

This purpose of this study is to determine the ability of an 18F-fluoro-L-dihydroxyphenylalanine (18F-DOPA) PET scan to detect a focal lesion of hyperinsulinism and determine the location in patients with congenital hyperinsulinism, Beckwith Wiedemann Syndrome and suspected insulinoma. Safety data will be collected.
