Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1"

In this prospective, randomized, open-label, parallel group trial, the safety and efficacy of insulin degludec/insulin aspart (IDegAsp) twice daily will be compared with basal insulin once or twice daily plus pre-prandial insulin after 16 weeks of treatment in patients with type 1 diabetes. This trial will enable assessment of the clinically relevant endpoint of a change in HbA1c and Time in Range (TIR).

McGill artificial pancreas lab has developed a learning algorithm using a reinforcement learning approach to adjust basal and bolus recommendations for high-fat meals and exercise management for individuals with type 1 diabetes on multiple daily injections (MDI) therapy. The reinforcement learning algorithm is integrated with a mobile application that gathers insulin, meal information (carbs (if applicable) and high-fat content), mealtime glucose value, glucose trend at mealtime, and type and timing of postprandial exercise.

The objective of this study is to investigate if the addition of a 12-week program of home-based high intensity interval training to a standard educational program aiming at preventing hypoglycemia episodes will restore hypoglycemia awareness in people living with type 1 diabetes and impaired awareness of hypoglycemia to a further extent than a standard educational program alone. Participants will be randomized for 12 weeks to the standard educational program with or without high intensity interval training. The Gold method will be used to identify people with impaired awareness of hypoglycemia. The educational program will consist of two education sessions on avoidance of hypoglycemia, causes of hypoglycemia, treatment (e.g. glucagon) of hypoglycemia, how to better recognize hypoglycemia symptoms, understand how to use a CGM/Flash-GM and understand CGM/Flash-GM reports to adjust insulin doses. Participants randomized to the training program will be asked to train three times per week for 12 weeks following the home-based program that will be provided to them. Participants will be asked to perform at least 2 training sessions per week (ideally all 3 sessions) with the exercise specialist on a virtual platform.

The Artificial Pancreas lab at McGill University has developed an optimization algorithm for adults with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) on Multiple Daily Injection (MDI) therapy with the adjunctive use of glucose sensor technology, collectively known as sensor-augmented MDI therapy. The algorithm is designed to estimate optimal basal-bolus parameters based on the patient's glucose, insulin and meal data over several days. The investigators hope that this algorithm will be better able to improve long-term glycemic targets by reducing HbA1c levels compared to sensor-augmented MDI therapy alone.

This project will test the efficacy of a multi-component behavioral intervention to improve metabolic control among older adolescents and emerging adults (16-21) with T1D, a group with chronic poor metabolic control. This intervention is grounded in self-determination theory which states that a youth who believes their diabetes management is self-directed, competent, and supported by others is more likely to consistently complete their diabetes self-care. This theory-driven intervention will be scalable to a variety of chronic illness contexts and the knowledge gained from this research will inform self-determination theory and different interventions targeting this population (currently there are no interventions that directly target emerging adults).

The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether the combination of two safe immune therapies called abatacept and nasal insulin can preserve pancreas function in recently-diagnosed type 1 diabetes. When type 1 diabetes is first diagnosed, the pancreas is still able to make small amounts of insulin, which helps control glucose levels. Preserving pancreas function can make glucose control easier and reduce the need to use injected insulin. Participants will be asked to inject abatacept under their skin once per week and inhale nasal insulin or nasal placebo using a spray for 10 consecutive days initially and twice per week thereafter. The treatment period is for 48 weeks, with another 48-week follow-up period.

Type 1 Diabetes carries high burden for affected youth and their families. Advances in insulin therapy and technology have been associated with increased obesity with 1/3 adolescents being overweight/obese. Since obesity runs in families and carries risk for poor outcomes psychologically and medically, the investigators are adapting our successful evidence-based Family Based Treatment for hybrid delivery to improve obesity and metabolic control in the affected youth and improve obesity and related co-morbidities in their parents.

The goal of this clinical trial is to obtain safety data and exploratory glycemic control data from use of an at-home closed loop control (CLC) system (t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology) with periodic parameter adjustments driven by an AI-based Advisor system in young children with Type 1 Diabetes. The main endpoints this study aims to answer is the safety and efficacy of the use of the AI-driven pump parameters. Participants will use the study system (pump and Continuous Glucose Monitor) in closed-loop mode for eight weeks.

The aims of the current study are to compare the effects of acute morning and afternoon resistance exercise on blood glucose levels in people with type 1 diabetes. to compare the effects of morning and afternoon resistance exercise training on cardiometabolic health outcomes in people with type 1 diabetes

This study is a randomized, controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Omnipod® 5 System with the FreeStyle Libre 2 continuous glucose monitor compared to Multiple Daily Injections (MDI) along with the FreeStyle Libre 2 continuous glucose monitor in children and adults with type 1.
