Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1"

The purpose of this study is to characterize the impact of acetaminophen ingestion on the performance of the Guardian™ Sensor (3) (i.e., C algorithm and Zeus algorithm) in subjects age 18 - 80 years.

The purpose of this prospective study is to determine if trial use of a Dexcom G6 CGM system for a 10 day wear period in high risk, poorly controlled pediatric Type 1 diabetes patients increases uptake of personal CGM use, and improves short-term time in range glucose control.

To examine the effect of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) on metabolic control, in a large population-based nationwide observational study under real life conditions. All children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes are investigated,using annual data in 2017 from the population-based Norwegian Childhood Diabetes Registry (NCDR). HbA1c, incidence of diabetes ketoacidosis (DKA) and severe hypoglycemia (SH) are evaluated depending on the use of CSII and CGM in a linear mixed-effects and linear regression model adjusted for age, biologic gender and diabetes duration. Health-related quality of Life (HRQOL) is assessed by using the DISABKIDS diabetes specific module (DDM-10), and associations with the use of CSII, CGM, age, gender and diabetes duration are evaluated.

Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) systems have now become an important standard-of-care for people with T1D and have demonstrated a reduction, but not elimination, of hypoglycemia during long-term studies. One limitation of current AID systems is that they have no knowledge about the context or environment that a person is currently experiencing. Contextual patterns can potentially improve the performance of an AID by recognizing environments or patterns of living that are related to changes in glucose. The team at OHSU is developing a context-aware glucose prediction algorithm that will capture context data from the patient both indoors and outdoors. This context data will be provided to the algorithm to allow for detecting contextual patterns that might relate to high or low glucose. The goal of this study will be the creation of a data set that will include contextual patterns along with glucose, insulin and physiological data.

The implantable Eversense ® CGM System obtained CE marking in 2016 for the 90-day device and in 2017 for the 180-day device.There is interest in real-world clinical evidence on the use of Eversense regarding changes in HbA1c and time in range (TIR), time below range (TBR), and time above range (TAR) in patients with type 1 diabetes. This is a prospective, multi-center, observational clinical study among adult participants aged 18 years or older with T1D and Eversense CGM System-naïve aimed to evaluate the change in HbA1c and glucometric parameters (TIR, TAR, TBR, mean daily glucose and standard deviation) in patients with T1D from multiple clinics in Italy using the Eversense CGM System for a 6-month time period.

Diabetes is reaching epidemic proportions and a targeted glucose control is key to prevent microvascular complications as well as long-term macrovascular disease. Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) in type 1 diabetes (T1D) is mandatory to implement safe and effective adjustments in insulin therapy in order to reduce glucose levels and prevent hypoglycemic episodes. It is known that a higher rate of glucose testing (up to 8 times/day) is associated with improved glucose control, however, long-term repeated daily glucose tests are painful, inconvenient and difficult to pursue. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is an alternative to SMBG, but the use of conventional CGM has been limited by the need of repeated calibration using capillary glucose testing, relatively short sensor lifespan and high costs. The recently introduced CGM FreeStyle Libre™ (Abbott Diabetes Care, Witney, UK) flash glucose monitoring (FGM), a new generation of glucose testing device, has the advantage to be user friendly by just scanning the reader over the sensor. The FGM system does not require calibration, has a long sensor lifetime of 14 days and it's relatively affordable, explaining the widespread use of the device. The Flash Glucose Monitoring-FGM is a real-time glycemic monitoring system called "hybrid" as it is not equipped with alarms capable of alerting the patient to cut-off value for the hypo- or hyperglycemia, but allows the glycemic trend to be viewed at request.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a complex metabolic disorder with many pathophysiological disturbances including insulin resistance (IR) and mitochondrial dysfunction which are causally related to the development of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and which contribute to reduced life expectancy. Renal hypoxia, stemming from a potential metabolic mismatch between increased renal energy expenditure and impaired substrate utilization, is increasingly proposed as a unifying early pathway in the development of DKD. By examining the interplay between factors responsible for increased renal adenosine triphosphate (ATP) consumption and decreased ATP generation in young adults with and without T1D, this study hopes to identify novel therapeutic targets to impede the development of DKD in future trials. The investigators propose to address the specific aims in a cross-sectional study with 30 adults with T1D and 20 controls without a diagnosis of diabetes. For this protocol, participants will complete a one day study visit at Children's Hospital Colorado. Patients will undergo a Dual-energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA) scan to assess body composition, renal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to quantify renal oxygenation and perfusion, and a Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) scan to quantify renal O2 consumption. After the PET and MRI, participants will undergo a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp to quantify insulin sensitivity. Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) and Effective Renal Plasma Flow (ERPF) will be measured by iohexol and PAH clearances during the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp. To further investigate the mechanisms of renal damage in T1D, two optional procedures are included in the study: 1) kidney biopsy procedure and 2) induction of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to assess morphometrics and genetic expression of renal tissue.

The study examines whether DPP-4 inhibition by vildagliptin affects the glucagon counterregulatory response to hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetes.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the G4 System when worn for up to 7-days by children and adolescent subjects (6 to <18 years-old) with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
