Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1"

This feasibility study builds upon mental health and technology acceptance theoretical frameworks. It seeks to examine potentials of a mobile-based novel digital health solution based on emotional and behavioral change techniques, to provide emotional and self-management tailored support to caregivers of children with type I diabetes (T1D). The digital health program, called Adhera® Caring, is designed to be used for approximately 3 months. The study will enroll 100 participants (20 in sub-study 1 and 80 in sub-study 2) who are caregivers of children with type 1 diabetes. There will be a nurse coaching the participants by providing support related to their emotional wellbeing via the mobile solution.

Aim of this study is to verify the effects of an advanced HCL (Medtronic Minimed™ 780G) compared to SAP with PLGS on metabolic outcomes and markers of early microvascular damage in a population of adults with T1D previously treated with CSII. Evaluation of endothelial disfunction and autonomic neuropathy will also be performed.

This proposed study will test whether measurement of breath acetone (BrAce) can be used for the purpose of identifying ketosis (elevated ketones) in persons with type 1 diabetes (T1D). This is important for the potential use of sodium glucose co-transport inhibitors (SGLT2i) in persons with T1D.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a study drug called nasal glucagon (Baqsimi) in pediatric participants with type 1 diabetes (T1D) aged 1 to less than 4 years. Blood tests will be performed to check how much nasal glucagon gets into the bloodstream. Blood sugar will also be measured to understand the effect of the drug on blood sugar levels. The study consists of a screening period up to 35 days before dosing, 1 day when a dose of nasal glucagon will be given and then 2 telephone follow up calls; first follow-up call on the day after the nasal glucagon was given and second call about one week after nasal glucagon was given. The study will last up to 9 days, not including the screening period.

Pilot study to evaluate effects of an experimental additional remote digital care (TELEDUC-DIAB) to adolescents with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes using digital monitoring platform and educative app

Female participants with type 1 diabetes using oral contraceptives will be asked to wear a continuous glucose monitor for at least three days on two separate occasions (once during the last week of active pills and once during the no pill/placebo pill phase of the menstrual cycle). An exercise session (45 minutes of aerobic exercise at 60% VO2peak on a cycle ergometer) will take place at 5 pm on the second day of glucose monitoring.

Participants will be asked to wear a continuous glucose monitor for at least three days on three separate occasions. One testing session will be a no-exercise resting control session (90 minutes). One will be a moderate aerobic exercise session (30 minutes of exercise, 60 minutes of recovery), and the third will be a moderate weight-lifting session (~30 minutes of exercise, 60 minutes of recovery).The investigators will measure changes in blood glucose during exercise by drawing blood during and after exercise. Post-exercise glucose trends will be examined using continuous glucose monitoring.

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is characterized by absolute insulin deficiency. Despite multiple daily insulin injections, glycemic targets are usually not achieved in T1DM patients.Use of continuos glucose monitoring system (CGMS) is associated with improvement in glycemic control and reduction in glycemic variability in T1DM subjects. real-time CGMS (rt-CGMS) and intermittently scanned CGMS (is-CGMS) are the newer CGMS technologies. Previous studies have shown that in T1DM patients rt-CGMS is better than is-CGMS for glycemic control and reducing hypoglycemic episodes in patients with impaired awareness of hypoglycemia, but in patients with normal hypoglycemic awareness this is not well established. This study is a randomized control clinical cross over study of 6 months duration in patients of T1DM having normal hypoglycemic awareness, with age 15-40 years with a HbA1c range of 8-12%. Following a training period of 2 weeks, 80 participants will be randomized into 3 arms in a ratio of 1:1:2 in rt-CGMS, is-CGMS and SMBG (self monitoring of blood glucose) arms, respectively. For the first two groups Medtronic Guardian Connect Sensor 3 and Abott Freestyle Libre Sensor 2will be applied for 2 weeks, respectively; followed by a crossover at 3 months withapplication of is-CGMS and rt-CGMS, respectively in these groups for a further 2 weeks period. For rest of the study duration these patients in the rt-CGMS and is-CGMS group will be monitored through SMBG. The 3rd SMBG group will act as control. Short term blood glucose control will be assessed by Fructosamine assay in the 2 CGMS groups and long term control by HbA1C.

OVERVIEW: People living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are expected to fit self-management and regular clinical consultations into busy lives. T1D self-management programs that offer frequent contact with care teams are most effective in helping patients achieve optimal glycemic control. However, this is difficult to deliver in the context of current T1D care which involves time-consuming in-person visits during working hours. The proposed study will test a virtual health care intervention to deliver "high frequency, low touch" care aimed at improving metabolic control, while reducing the burden on individuals and their healthcare teams. STUDY DESIGN: A pragmatic multicenter, open-label, randomized trial to evaluate the short-term effectiveness of a multifaceted virtual health care intervention in improving glycemic control in individuals with T1D. Planned recruitment is 580 participants from 10 specialized T1D centres in Ontario. INTERVENTION: Our intervention will include 1) frequent, brief virtual visits between patients with T1D and certified diabetes educators (conducted in real time using a secure telemedicine video interface accessible from any PC, tablet or smart phone) combined with automatic appointment reminders, and 2) a centralized web-based platform to provide educational classes, tools, and resources for diabetes self-management. Virtual visits will be an adjunct to routine in-clinic visits for blood pressure monitoring, foot checks, and surveillance for other complications of diabetes. This approach aims to enable patients to receive more education and support than is feasible in traditional health care models, and in a way that is more seamless (i.e. results in fewer disruptions to their daily life) and tailored to their individual needs based on their stage in life.

Endothelial dysfunction and vasoreactivity disorders are early subclinical complications of type 1 diabetes (T1D). In a preventive setting, in T1D patients still free of complications, the research of non-pharmacological interventions to improve endothelial function appears fundamental. In this randomized controlled trial, the effects of exercise training on endothelial function will be evaluated in T1D adults. Secondary objectives are to evaluate the exercise training effects on the micro and macrovascular function and exercise-induced tissue vasoreactivity and their possible neurometabolic consequences. An improvement in vascular function, particularly endothelium-dependent, as well as in neurometabolic profile, through this non-pharmacological strategy is expected
