Do "Sugar Swings" Impact the Brain Function and the Eating Behaviors of People With Type 1 Diabetes...
Type 1 DiabetesIn type 1 diabetes, it is common to choose the food we eat according to the blood sugar level and the insulin dose and vice versa. Beyond the nutritional aspects, the relationship to food and the resulting eating behaviors can be a source of suffering. Also, it has been reported that one out of two people over 60 years of age living with type 1 diabetes has cognitive impairment. Changes in cognitive functions can have important implications for daily well-being, diet (e.g., the ability to modulate cravings), and treatment decisions to manage diabetes. One factor that can affect both eating behaviors and cognitive function is variation in blood glucose levels. This research aims to better understand the impact of glycemic variability in disordered eating behaviors and cognitive impairment, and its consequences on self-management skills in people with type 1 diabetes. The hypotheses are that i) higher glycemic variability is associated with higher disordered eating behaviors and poorer cognitive function in people with type 1 diabetes, and that differences exist between sexes, ii) higher disordered eating behaviors and poorer cognitive function are associated with lower self-management skills; and iii) cognitive impairment, interoception awareness and insulin resistance may mediate the relationship between glycemic variability and disordered eating behaviors. This research study will contribute to highlighting the consequences of blood sugar fluctuations, "sugar swings", in daily life, in particular the way they disrupt eating behaviors and brain function. A better understanding of the mechanisms involved could eventually allow for early detection and management of these problems. Our study will also seek to understand the patients' point of view, which will allow the design of appropriate and meaningful recommendations.
Autologous Adoptive T Regulatory Cell Transfer in Autoimmune Diseases.
Lupus NephritisType 1 Diabetes MellitusInvestigators aim to develop an effective and safe treatment of autoimmune diseases through adoptive T regulatory cells transfer. Our objectives are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of autologous adoptive Treg (CD4CD25FoxP3 CD127 low regulatory) cell transfer to patients with refractory autoimmune diseases: Refractory lupus Nephritis, and adults' type1 diabetes mellitus. Patients and Methods: This is Non randomized open label phase 1 pilot study including ten patients with refractory lupus nephritis and ten patients with Type 1 diabetic patients. All patients will be subjected to Full history taking, clinical examination and pretreatment investigations according to the type of autoimmune disease then regulatory T cells (Tregs) identification and count, Treg isolation and expansion and finally administration of T reg cells and follow-up of adverse events and outcomes.
Therapeutic Effects of Plyometric Exercises in Children With Type 1 Diabetis
Diabetes MellitusType 1Despite the benefits of physical rehabilitation among adults and children with chronic illness such as Diabetes mellitus avoid engaging in different physical activities especially pediatric population. Most of the children with type 1 Diabetes mellitus receive their medical treatment and follow-up with no change of their functional performance.
Skin Tolerance of Medical Devices for Diabetes Monitoring and Treatment in Children With Type 1...
Cutaneous AllergyDiabetes Mellitus2 moreIn view of the emergence over the last few years of adverse skin reactions caused by diabetes monitoring and treatment devices, which have become essential to the optimal management of these patients, it is necessary to determine the real prevalence of these side effects. Here the investigators performed a prospective study about prevalence of skin reactions in a group of children with type 1 diabetes.
Regulation of Brain Glucose Metabolism in Type 1 Diabetes
Diabetes MellitusType 11 moreThis is a prospective randomized placebo-controlled double-blind crossover study determining the effect of dichloroacetate on brain glucose metabolism under clamped hypoglycemia in T1DM.
Diabetes Islet Preservation Immune Treatment
Diabetes MellitusType 13 moreTo assess whether there is a difference in endogenous insulin secretion, measured as stimulated C-peptide secretion (area under the curve during a 4-hour mixed meal tolerance test), at the 1 year visit, for study subjects receiving combinational therapy versus those receiving placebo. The study will also examine the effect of the proposed treatments on immunological outcomes, specifically proportion of regulatory T cells at the 1 year visit.
Proteomic Analysis in Paediatric Diabetes Type 1 (PAPD)
Diabetes Type 1Proteomics1 moreThe aim of the present study is to investigate a targeted proteomic analysis in plasma of children - of Greek origin- with type 1 diabetes (DT1) and its correlation with the electrophysiological findings that accompany diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy is the most frequent chronic complication in adults with DT1 and rarely appears in childhood. Nevertheless, cases of acute mononeuritis have been described at the time of diagnosis of DT1. According to recent reports several biomarkers, including proteomic analysis, have been proposed for the early detection of peripheral neuropathy in children and young adults with T1DM. In the present study the researchers will attempt to investigate the role of biomarkers with targeted proteomic analysis in the plasma of children with DT1 in combination with an electrophysiological study, which includes a nerve conduction study, to detect early diabetic peripheral neuropathy, before the appearance of clinical manifestations.
Ambrisentan Sotagliflozin and Prevention of Renal Injury; a Randomized Evaluation
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus With Diabetic NephropathyThe aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that sotagliflozin (SGLT1/2 inhibitor) and ambrisentan (ERA) combination therapy augments nephroprotection and mitigates fluid retention and ketogenesis in people with T1D through complementary and synergistic mechanisms of actions.
Effects Of Berberine Plus Inulin On Diabetes Care in Patients With LADA
Type 1 Diabetes MellitusAutoimmune DiabetesThe primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of oral berberine (BBR) and inulin combined with insulin therapy on diabetes care in patients with LADA.
Validation of a 13C Glucose Breath Test Compared With the Euglycaemic Clamp Test
Insulin ResistanceType 1 DiabetesInsulin resistance can be assessed by the euglycaemic clamp technique. To date, this is the golden standard, but it is not suited for clinical practice. A 13C glucose breath test will be tested as a valid alternative. The curve of the exhaled 13C CO2 as a function of glucose metabolism can be correlated to the curve of the glucose disposal rate obtained via the clamp technique.
