Research on Optimizing the Use of Technology With Education
Type 1 DiabetesContinuous Glucose Monitoring2 moreConsistent use of continuous glucose monitors (CGM) has the potential to improve glycemic control and related type 1 diabetes (T1D) health outcomes, however young adolescents with T1D are the least likely age group to begin and sustain use of CGM. The proposed study will conduct a feasibility trial of a behavioral intervention designed to optimize use of CGM in adolescents specifically targeting underrepresented populations in diabetes technology research.
TArgeting Type 1 Diabetes Using POLyamines (TADPOL)
Type 1 DiabetesThe goal of this clinical trial is to test a drug known as DFMO in people with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Does it reduce stress on the cells that make insulin? Does it preserve what is left of the body's insulin production? Participants will take either DFMO or a placebo (looks like DFMO but has no active ingredients) two times a day for about 6 months. Participants will have 6 in person visits and 1 phone visit over a period of 12 months. Visits will include blood draws urine collection and other tests.
Incorporating Mind-body Skills With Diabetes Education in Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 DiabetesAdolescent BehaviorAdolescence presents a challenging time for type 1 diabetes management, and despite a multitude of studies aimed at increasing disease compliance in this age group, none have been deemed superior. The purpose of this study is to incorporate mindfulness skills in with diabetes education sessions for adolescents with type 1 diabetes and study if this translates to improved outcomes in glycemic control, patient satisfaction, and mental wellness.
Obesity Treatment to Improve Diabetes
Type 1 DiabetesAs the obesity pandemic continues unabated, one can expect to see an increase in the prevalence of TID/T2D and associated CKD. As a result, death will rise, preceded by an increase in kidney failure, requiring dialysis and renal transplantation. Innovative medical treatment may help prevent chronic kidney disease (CKD) across our healthcare system. The guideline of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) suggest that patients with obesity, TID/ T2D, and CKD needed either glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor analogs (GLP1-RA) or sodium-glucose cotransport-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i). If neither achieve metabolic control, then the recommendation is to combine both drugs. The evidence base for combining GLP1RA and SGLT2i are not well developed, and hence the impact of the guidelines are limited. This study will provide evidence of discrete metabolic pathways by the GLP1RA/or SGLT2i alone or in combination contributed to metabolic control. The aim of this randomised control trial (RCT) is to test the impact of the combination of GLP1RA/SGLT2i on body weight and kidney damage, in patients with T1DM and CKD. In addition, we will explore associated changes in metabolic pathways with each of the treatments used in the RCT.
Mobile Application-delivered Resistance Program for Children and Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes...
Type 1 DiabetesThis project involves a two-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) designed to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a mobile application aimed at prescribing resistance training for children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (Diactive-1). The program will span 24 weeks, with a minimum weekly frequency of 3 sessions. The researchers aim to recruit 52 participants but will enroll additional participants to account for potential withdrawals and ensure compliance with the desired sample size. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the impact of the Diactive-1 mobile application on insulin requirements in children and adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes. Additionally, the researchers will investigate the effects of the Diactive-1 program on secondary parameters such as glycemic control, cardiometabolic indicators, physical fitness, and daily physical activity, among others. The hypothesis posits that personalized training through a mobile application, primarily focusing on muscular strength, will effectively reduce the daily insulin dosage in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
DailyDose Smart Snack Study for T1D on MDI
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus With HypoglycemiaThis is a single-center, open-label, crossover trial with two arms and two periods (2x2) and one-week washout period. The study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of an AI-based bedtime smart snack intervention in reducing nocturnal low glucose in people living with T1D on MDI therapy compared with traditional CGM-augmented MDI therapy as the control.
Teplizumab in Pediatric Stage 2 Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 DiabetesThe purpose of this study is to assess the safety and PK of teplizumab in participants with Stage 2 type 1 diabetes who are <8 years of age.
DBLG1 System With TERUMO MEDISAFE WITH Insulin Pump Trial
Diabetes MellitusType 1This study conducted in 90 adults living with type 1 diabetes is an interventional single-arm open-label before/after multicentric national study conducted as a clinical investigation according to the law EU 2017/745 art. 62. After a 14-day baseline period during which the patient will use a Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) and his current therapy (multiple daily injection or open-loop pump), the patient will start a 42-day treatment period during which he will use the DBLG1 System, a closed loop system (including a DBLG1 handset, a TERUMO MEDISAFE WITH insulin pump, in addition to his Dexcom G6 CGM). An optional 6-week extension period with treatment will be proposed to patients agreeing to pursue the use of the DBLG1 system. The main objective is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the DBLG1 System with a TERUMO MEDISAFE WITH insulin pump in closed-loop for 6 weeks in 90 adults with type 1 diabetes. Data related to their glycemia, complications, usability and quality of life will be collected. The study is completed when all patients have their "end of study" file completed in the electronic Case Report Form (eCRF).
Effects of Resistance Exercise on Blood Glucose in Post-menopausal Women With Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 DiabetesRegular physical activity has substantial health benefits in people with type 1 diabetes. The fear of hypoglycemia, both during and after exercise, is a major barrier to exercise in this population. A major obstacle to providing specific physical activity and exercise advice is that there are still significant gaps in the fundamental understanding of the impact of physical activity and exercise on blood glucose levels in type 1 diabetes. Women with type 1 diabetes have a substantial increase in cardiovascular risk once they have passed menopause. They may lose both bone quality and muscle mass at a faster rate with aging than those without diabetes. Overall, these changes greatly increase the risk of both cardiovascular and frailty related complications. Despite the many potential benefits of resistance exercise for post-menopausal women with type 1 diabetes, there are currently no published studies examining the effects of resistance exercise in this population. Before being able to design a clinical trial of resistance exercise, an examination of the acute effects of resistance exercise on blood glucose levels in post-menopausal women with type 1 diabetes is required. The present study will compare the glycemic effects of a low resistance, high repetition (3 sets of 15 to 20 repetitions) weight lifting program to the effects of a moderate resistance, moderate repetition (3 sets of 8 to 10 repetitions). The investigators hypothesize that the high repetition program will be associated with a bigger decline in blood glucose during exercise, but that the moderate resistance program will be associated with a higher risk of post-exercise hypoglycemia.
