Filter by:Stigma due to health conditions increases disease burden and adversely impacts health. The internalization of health-related stigma is associated with impaired mental health and quality of life. The current project will test the effects of a novel, transdiagnostic, group counseling intervention, and peer support, to determine the optimal method for helping patients cope with health-related stigma, reducing its internalization, and enhancing patient quality of life.
The proposed study will be a randomized, prospective, non-blinded study of 120 participants with type 1 or type 2 diabetes that are new-to-insulin on hospital discharge. On hospital discharge, participants will be assigned to either the intervention of wearing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for 2 weeks or blood glucose monitoring (BGM) for 2 weeks. They will have a 2-week follow up visit, during which insulin doses will be adjusted as needed, and a 3-month follow-up visit, at which point HbA1c will be measured.
The purpose of this trial is to compare the impact of a fruit and vegetable access plus nutrition education intervention to a nutrition education-only control on the health, well-being, and food security of early care and education (ECE) professionals. The intervention, called Nurturing Healthy Teachers, combines strategies from two evidence-based programs - Create Healthy Futures (CHF) and Brighter Bites (BB).
Preoperative carbohydrates (CHO) supplement has been shown to alleviate postoperative insulin resistance (IR) in nondiabetic patients undergoing a variety of surgeries. However, it remains controversial whether preoperative CHO could yield similar effects in diabetic patients. Thus, the investigators design a randomized controlled trial investigating the impact of preoperative CHO on postoperative IR and clinical outcomes in diabetic patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The results of the study may give some clinical implications and further improve perioperative care for diabetic patients.
1. To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture on POD in diabetic patients undergoing surgery, to provide effective prevention and treatment measures of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine for reducing the incidence of postoperative delirium in high-risk groups, and to provide clinical basis for further promotion of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine anesthesia in the future. 2. To investigate the relationship between POD and rSO2 in diabetic patients undergoing surgery. To clarify the predictive value of intraoperative rSO2 monitoring on postoperative cognitive function in patients with diabetes, and to explore the effect of acupuncture on cerebral blood flow perfusion in patients with diabetes.
In this pilot clinical trial, the investigators will recruit and randomize 120 patients with diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease (CKD/DM) stages 3 to 5 to a patient-centered and flexible Plant-Focused Nutrition in Diabetes (PLAFOND) diet with >2/3 plant-based sources, which will be compared with a standard-of-care CKD diet, which is usually a low-potassium and low-salt diet, over a 6-month period. Through this study, the investigators will determine whether the plant-focused diet intervention is feasible for patient adherence, whether this diet is safe by avoiding malnutrition, frailty, and high potassium or glucose blood levels, and whether patient reported outcomes are favorably impacted.
This is a single-center, open-label, prospective study. Blood glucose was measured at different time points during oral glucose tolerance testing in healthy subjects and patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, using both venous plasma and multi-channel microspatial offset Raman scattering spectroscopy (mμSORS). Venous plasma glucose was set as gold standard.The two measurements were collected synchronously so as to calculate the mean absolute relative difference (MARD) and the consensus error grid (CEG). Accuracy of non-invasive blood glucose testing by mμSORS will be validated. MARD for two measurement methods in different blood glucose ranges and the effect of mμSORS on safety in the patient such as adverse events will also be assessed.
Diabetes mellitus affects roughly 8% of pregnancies and is associated with significant perinatal and maternal morbidity. Increasing numbers of women are either entering pregnancy with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) or are initiating use during pregnancy, with data emerging suggesting improved outcomes among those using CGM. Since the introduction of CGM in the late 1990s, there has been slow acceptance of their validation and use in the inpatient setting. The investigators propose an observational prospective cohort study to analyze the correlation of CGM data with traditional capillary glucose readings in the intrapartum and postpartum settings.
In the type 2 diabetic population, some patients are particularly at risk of developing early heart failure. Finding markers to identify these at-risk individuals is therefore an important scientific objective in order to avoid/delay the development of heart failure. The protocol will be proposed to type 2 diabetic patients hospitalized for insulin therapy upon admission to the diabetology department and healthy volunteers.
NuRISH is a suite of clinical trials for children from low-income families which will determine whether primary healthcare prescription for: 1) Optimal breastfeeding with support from a mobile lactation consultant vs. usual care and 2) High-quality childcare starting at 1 year vs. usual care can prevent childhood obesity, and improve cardiovascular, developmental and mental health at 2 years of age.
