Neurocognitive Impact of Hypoglycemia in Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitis125 children with Type 1 Diabetes mellitis (T1DM) between 4 and 16 were recruited and 62 healthy siblings also enrolled in the study. Children with T1DM and sibling controls ages 4 to 16 were assessed on memory and executive control skills at entry to the study (Test 1) and after two years of close monitoring for blood sugar events (Test 2). Diabetic children have their blood sugar tested directly before and after cognitive testing to ensure their blood sugar is within range during the testing. The 2-year follow-up period involves parents/child reporting any severe diabetic episode and periodically providing the results of the diabetic child's usual blood tests from their glucose monitoring device. Children 7 and older also underwent high resolution MRI scans.
Characteristics of Persons With an Eating Disorder and Type 1 Diabetes
Eating DisorderType 1 DiabetesThe purpose of this study is to analyze a chart audit of patients seen at Park Nicollet Eating Disorder Institute (EDI) to identify and compare general characteristics of eating disorders with type 1 diabetes patients to a matched eating disordered population without type 1 diabetes, also seen at EDI.

An Observational Study Evaluating SYMLIN® (Pramlintide Acetate) Injection Use in Insulin Using Patients...
Type 1 Diabetes MellitusType 2 Diabetes MellitusThis is an open label, observational study designed to collect data that characterize the use of SYMLIN following the introduction of the medication into the marketplace. Health care providers and subjects selected for study participation are intended to be representative of those providers prescribing, and subjects receiving, SYMLIN therapy.
Accuracy, Satisfaction and Usability of a FGM System Among Children and Adolescents Attending a...
Type 1 Diabetes MellitusThe aim of this study was to assess accuracy, satisfaction and usability of the FGM among children and adolescents with T1DM. The primary outcome was to assess the accuracy of the FGM system. Secondary outcomes included satisfaction and usability of the device as well as assessment of sensor-related issues.
Assessment of Mealtime Bolus Insulin Behavior
Diabetes MellitusType 12 moreThe main purpose of this study is to estimate missed bolus insulin doses in diabetics. This is a 12-week, single-arm, outpatient, exploratory study with two study periods in Type 1 or Type 2 diabetics, with an investigational reusable injection pen, insulin, and a Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) device.
Ultrasound Classification and Grading of Lipohypertrophy and Its Impact on Glucose Variability in...
LipohypertrophyType 1 Diabetes MellitusThis study will use ultrasound to characterise lipohypertrophy(LH) and assess the impact of LH on glucose variability in adults with type 1 diabetes. LH is a condition that occurs with repeated exposure to insulin at injection sites, resulting in the development of subcutaneous fatty lumps that impede the absorption of insulin. LH can lead to glucose variability, increased risk of severe hypoglycaemia and diabetes distress. In the long term it can therefore lead to increased risk of diabetes complications and increased insulin costs.
Diabetic Patients Needs in Therapeutic Education About Work. TE-DIW (Therapeutic Education of DIabetic...
Diabetes MellitusType 1Diabetes mellitus is an important disease around the world and the number of diabetic people increase every day. The type 1 diabetes often occurred in the youth and people have to learn to work with it and its complication. Conversely, diabetic people sometimes have trouble to manage their diabetes with working obligation. Actually, French therapeutic education don't teach how to reconcile diabetes and work. The study hypothesis is that type 1 diabetic people can be helped by therapeutic education in order to reconcile the management of their diabetes and their work. This study is a qualitative study. Interviews will help to find the needs of the type 1 diabetic patients to reconcile diabetes and work.
Evaluation of an Early Screener to Identify Long-term Problems With Regard to Metabolic Control...
Type 1 DiabetesBackground: Type 1 diabetes is one of the most common chronic illnesses among children and adolescents. Although, intensive medical care is provided for these patients, some of them have poor metabolic control. For example, only 21% of adolescents with type 1 diabetes in the USA achieve the recommended average blood sugar concentration (HbA1c<7.5%). This is a major problem, since chronic hyperglycemia is the primary cause of morbidity and mortality in type 1 diabetes and causes several serious complications, for example kidney failure, blindness, and stroke. Therefore, the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD) declared psychosocial factors, to be the most important risk factors of poor type 1 diabetes Management. Therefore, an instrument is needed to identify children and adolescents with poor metabolic control in their course of disease as soon as possible. With an early identification of such risk patients, better support can be provided. However, there is no such instrument yet for pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes. To fill this gap, a questionnaire (FEPB) based on the PAT 2.0© (Psychosocial Assessment Tool; an instrument used in oncology) was developed for this project. Aim: The aim of this project is to evaluate and validate a new instrument (FEPB) for an early identification of children and adolescents with poor metabolic control in their course of disease in a longitudinal design. Method: The sample consists of children and adolescents (age: 5-18 years), who were newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (2-4 weeks ago), and who are in care at the University Children's Hospital of Zurich. Structured interviews are conducted with the patients and the parents are asked to fill out some questionnaires at two times: first, 2-4 weeks after the diagnosis (T1) and second 6 month later (T2). With the new instrument (FEPB) a risk score can be calculated for each patient at T1. Statistical analysis will be performed to determine whether that risk score can predict which patients have poor metabolic control (HbA1c > 7.5%) at T2.
Study of IGRP-specific T Cell in Peripheral Blood of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Diabetes Mellitus10 type 1 diabetes, 10 type 2 diabetes and 10 healthy controls matched with age and sex were enrolled in our study and their periphera blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were isolated. We implemented ELISPOT(Enzyme-linked Immunospot Assay) to detect the interferon-γ (IFN-γ)which secreted by IGRP-specific T cell. Results were compared between these groups.
