Filter by:This clinical study has been launched to collect spectral Raman data paired with validated glucose reference values in private homes of subjects.
This study compares the effectiveness of two different approaches to advance care planning among older African Americans and older Whites living in the community. The two approaches are a structured approach with an advance care planning conversation led by a trained person using Respecting Choices (First Steps) and a patient-driven approach which includes a Five Wishes advance care planning form written in plain language. The study will determine which approach is more effective at increasing advance care planning within each racial group and reducing differences between the two groups in advance care planning.
Clinical Evaluation of Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems (BGMSs)
This study is conducted to evaluate the safety of a single intravitreal injection of THR-149.
Background: Today diabetic nephropathy is a frequent, and the most lethal and costly complication of diabetes. Although treating blood pressure with agents blocking renin angiotensin system has improved outcome, the prognosis is still poor and no new interventions have been successful during the past decade. There is an urgent need for discovery of new pathways behind the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy as well as of biomarkers which can identify subjects at risk of developing adverse events. Objective: By using a multidimensional 'omics' approach, we aim to search for novel proteins, metabolites and pathways that will point to the putative new mechanisms which underlie the early renal decline. Design: Cross-sectional study, with long-term register-based follow-up. Study population: 160 patients with type 1 diabetes recruited from Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen stratified based on stage of diabetic kidney disease, and 50 healthy non-diabetic controls. Endpoints: Primary endpoint: Glycocalyx thickness, assessed as perfused boundary region. Secondary endpoints: Gut microbiome characterisation and markers of gastrointestinal inflammation, autonomic and periphery neuropathy, urine and plasma Flow Cytometry Analysis (FACS), metabolomics and proteomics in plasma and urine, and other potential biomarkers.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between insulin resistance (IR) and myocardial tissue abnormalities. The study will focus on a patient population, South Asians, with a high prevalence of IR.
The purpose of this study is to investigate and evaluate the significance of intravenous glucose tolerance test in assessment of β-cell function improvement after short course of intensive insulin therapy, trying to illustrate the relationship between fasting plasma glucose and acute insulin release under different stage of type 2 diabetes with poor glycemic control.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and Type 2 diabetes are two frequent diseases that occur in adult population. The prevalence of OSA is higher in people with Type 2 diabetes compared with the general population7 ; in addition, the OSA syndrome is almost assessed in obese type 2 diabetes. The relationship between OSA and Type 2 diabetes has been well characterized: the OSA can contribute to increased insulin resistance or glucose intolerance; and, diabetes may worsen sleep-disordered breathing because of autonomic neuropathy8,9. The main link between OSA and Type 2 diabetes is central obesity, which triggers glucose intolerance/insulin resistance and is also an independent risk factor for OSA. Type 1 diabetes is generally not related to obesity; however, sleep-disordered breathing in these patients was described in few reports early as 1985 by pioneers such as Guilleminault5 and the prevalence of OSA is estimated at range 10 to 40% in type 1 diabetes patients. Few studies had evaluated the prevalence of sleep disorders in particular the sleep apnea syndrome in patients with type 1 diabetes and even less their influence on the glycemic control. This study will take place at the CHU of Amiens-Picardie during a one-night hospitalization. The investigators will study in 44 type 1 diabetes mellitus (IAH apnea hypopnea index ≥15) who underwent polysomnography and continuous glucose monitoring of blood glucose
Parents of children with long-term health conditions (LTCs) can experience shame related to parenting. Whilst self-compassion interventions (SCIs) can reduce parental shame, this has not been studied with parents of children with LTCs. Perfectionistic cognitions may also moderate the effects of SCIs. This study will test an online SCI with parents of children with type 1 diabetes, epilepsy or asthma. Parents will complete online questionnaires pre- and post a SCI/control intervention. Hypotheses will be tested using analysis of covariance and moderation analysis. Findings will enhance knowledge of vulnerability factors to distress for parents of children with LTCs, and inform interventions.
The objective of this study is to determine the percentage of children with genetic markers putting them at increased risk of developing type 1 diabetes, and to offer the opportunity for these children to be enrolled into a phase II b primary prevention trial.
