Efficacy of Closed-loop Insulin Therapy in Adults Prone to Hypoglycemia
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus With HypoglycemiaThis study is a RCT of 3 month at home comparing closed-loop control (CLC) system vs sensor and pump therapy (S&P), with a 3-month extension phase, in Type 1 diabetic patient prone to hypoglycemia. After a 2-week run-in phase with blinded CGM, patients who spent 5% or more time below 70mg/dL will be eligible to continue. They will will be randomly assigned 2:1 to the use of closed-loop control (CLC) using Tandem Control-IQ vs S&P for 3 months, which is the timing of the primary outcome for the RCT. After 3 months, the S&P group will use CLC for up to 3 months and the CLC group will continue using CLC for up to 3 additional months.

Efficacy of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) in New-onset Type-1 Diabetes Mellitus
T1DMType 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is caused by an autoimmune process that progressively destroys the pancreatic β-cells, and leads to dependence on multiple daily insulin subcutaneous injections according to glucose measurements and dietary restrictions, leading to short and long term complications. Current data demonstrate that even modest preservation of β-cell function and endogenous production of insulin (marked by C-peptide) may result in meaningful clinical benefits including lower rates of complications, improved metabolic control, reduced insulin injections, and improved quality of life. Objective: To assess the effect of HBOT on Treg, mesanchymal stem cells, and pro-inflammatory cytokines ratio in pediatric population with new-onset T1DM Secondary To assess the effect of HBOT on beta cell reserve in pediatric population with new-onset T1DM To assess the effect of HBOT on glycemic control parameters including time in range, HbA1c and daily insulin dose, in the pediatric population with new-onset T1DM Study design: Randomized, controlled study of pediatric and young adults patients who have been newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes within 12 weeks prior to randomization (4-6 weeks from screening) and express peak C-peptide ≥ 0.2 pmol/ml Subjects will be randomized to hyperbaric oxygen chamber (HBOC) group and to a non-intervention, control group. Both groups will be managed similarly by carbohydrate counting and basal bolus insulin administration, based on their interstitial glucose levels by glucose continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) and carbohydrate counting before meals. The intervention protocol includes 12 weeks of intensive management, and 12 weeks of follow up. During the intensive management period - for 12 weeks, the HBOC group will receive 100% oxygen at 2 ATA for 90 min with 5 min air breaks every 20 min at each session. Intensive management period includes 60 daily sessions, 5 days per week within 12 weeks, During the intensive management period - for 12 weeks, the control group will receive common practice managemnt. All will be instructed to inject insulin pre-meals according to carbs-counting, and CGMS. Insulin will be administered by subcutaneous continuous insulin infusion (SCII) or by pens with CLIPSULIN only, for accurate daily dose of insulin recording. Along the 24 weeks of the study several parameters will be assessed at pre-defined time points . Immune system parameters will be assessed by blood levels of T-regulatory cells, diabetes auto-antibody and inflammatory cytokines. Pancreatic β cells function will be evaluated by measurements of blood area under the curve (AUC) C-peptide, peak C-peptide, and basal proinsulin/c-peptide ratio. glycemic control parameters will be evaluated by CGMS data regarding time spent in glycemic range, hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic ranges, total daily dose of insulin according to CLIPSULIN , and blood tests for glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Microbiome changes will be assessed by stool samples. Expected significance: the study suggests a safe modality used clinically among adults and other paediatric conditions, for the possible solution of an unmet urgent medical need, studied successfully in an animal model. The study is designed to be powered to answer the question of efficacy, and in addition, addresses the mechanisms by which it may halt the progression of β cell destruction in new onset T1DM.
Cellular Therapy for Type 1 Diabetes Using Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Diabetes MellitusType 1The goal of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of fresh metabolically active allogeneic umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (UC-MSCs) for the treatment of new-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D) and to understand the mechanisms of protection. If proven effective, such a strategy can be used as a therapeutic option for T1D patients and potentially other autoimmune disorders.

HCT Cash-Only INcentive to Promote Mealtime Insulin DOSE Engagement
Type 1 DiabetesType 1 Diabetes (T1D) is a serious disease that happens because the body cannot control blood glucose (sugar) levels. People with T1D need insulin shots because their body does not make insulin. Insulin lowers blood sugar levels. When blood sugar levels are too high or too low it causes medical problems. Youth with T1D can really impact their own health if they follow their T1D treatment plan. However, even with the help of doctors, nurses, and family, most adolescents find it hard to follow their diabetes plan close enough to meet their A1C goal. It is very common for adolescents to forget to give an insulin bolus for meals. When insulin doses are missed, there is a greater chance for poor blood sugar control. When adolescents follow their diabetes plan closely, they have better blood sugar control and overall health. Two behavioral economic interventions will be evaluated. COIN2DOSE (Cash-Only INcentive to promote mealtime insulin DOSE Engagement) and LOAN2DOSE (Behavioral Economic concept that uses an economic loss aversion approach to promote insulin dose engagement in adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes). These programs were designed to improve blood sugar control by decreasing the number of missed mealtime boluses. For COIN2DOSE, we will offer the opportunity for youth to earn a bonus reimbursement during which they achieve at least 5 days of 3 mealtime insulin boluses. Finally, we will pay youth up for sharing their insulin use data at least two times per week with the study team during the three-month treatment phase. For LOAN2DOSE, the participants will start with a monetary "balance" and will keep it if they bolus as instructed - at least 5 days of 3 mealtime insulin boluses. If they do not do this, their balance will decrease throughout the study.
Effect of a Dietary Intervention on Insulin Requirements in Type 1 Diabetes
Diabetes MellitusType 1The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of a low-fat, plant-based dietary intervention and a portion-controlled dietary intervention (compliant with current American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines) on the management of type 1 diabetes in adults. The primary outcome measure of this study is insulin requirements (measured as the total daily dose (TDD) of insulin or basal and bolus insulin units injected per day). The study duration is 12 weeks.
