Filter by:The objective of the study is for clinical staff to gain experience using the proposed artificial pancreas system named inControl and the inControl Cloud and assess 24/7 in-home usability prior to initiating a large randomized controlled trial.
Primary objective is to assess the impact of different reference glucose measurement methods on the measured performance of a CGM system, aiming at further standardization for the assessment of CGM systems. Secondary objective is to describe the relationship between glucose concentration of venous, capillary and arterialized-venous measurement samples. Study design: Open-label trial. Study population: Nineteen patients with type 1 diabetes aged 18 years and older will be included. Intervention: The study will use the Dexcom G5 Mobile CGM. The participant will visit the clinical research center (CRC) twice during a 6 day period. These visits will have a duration of 8 hours. Blood will be drawn for the determination of glucose concentrations using venous, arterialized-venous and capillary sampling techniques. The patient will receive his usual breakfast and an increased insulin bolus will be administered to correct the breakfast glucose excursion with the aim of inducing a period of minor hypoglycemia. Blood sampling will continue until the end of the admission. The sensor will be worn until the end of the second 8-hour CRC session, which will be planned on day 6 or earlier depending on patient preference. The sensor will be removed and their sensor and blood glucose meter data downloaded from the devices. In the case of sensor failure before the first CRC session, patients will be instructed to insert a new sensor per the manufacturer's instruction and to notify study staff of the event. In case of failure of the sensor after the first CRC session but before the second CRC session, patients will return to the CRC for sensor removal and for data download.
Primary objective of this study is to compare diabetes-related healthcare utilization and costs in patients initiating exenatide once weekly vs insulin glargine.
This is a single center study to assess metabolic effects in subjects after a Jejunal to Ileal Diversion procedure was performed using colonoscopes.
The investigators have identified a support group on social media with ~1500 members (children and adults), the majority of whom have T1DM and follow a carbohydrate-restricted diet. Many participants report exceptionally low HbA1C and insulin requirements. If these anecdotal reports are reflective of a large group of people with type 1 diabetes, a clinical trial would be warranted. The investigators propose to survey the above-mentioned group and their professional diabetes care providers to characterize glycemic control and explore associated dietary and diabetes care factors.
Arterial calcification is an independent predictor of coronary events associated with a 3-4 fold increased risk of cardiovascular events. Currently, no effective intervention exists to reduce arterial calcification. However, recent studies showed that vitamin K may reduce ongoing calcium deposition in the arteries, and thereby inhibit arterial calcification. The primary objective is to determine if MK-7 supplementation leads to stabilization or attenuation of ongoing calcium deposition in the femoral artery as quantified by 18F-NaF PET/CT imaging in patients with type 2 diabetes and arterial disease.
Primary Objective: -To test the hypothesis that higher initial dose of basal insulin (0.3 U/kg) is non inferior to standard initial dose (0.2 U/kg) based on the percentage of patients with at least one episode of hypoglycemia (≤3.9 mmol/L or severe) during the 16 weeks of treatment in overweight and obese type 2 diabetic patients uncontrolled with oral anti-diabetes drugs (OADs). Secondary Objective: - To evaluate the percentage of patients achieving glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) <7%. - To evaluate the percentage and accumulated percentage of patients achieving fasting plasma glucose (FPG) target (<5.6, <6.1, and <7.0 mmol/L). - To assess the changes in HbA1c, FPG, and postprandial glucose (PPG). - To evaluate the insulin doses change. - To evaluate the weight change. - To evaluate overall hypoglycemia, nocturnal hypoglycemia and severe hypoglycemia occurrence. - To descriptively evaluate the safety profile. - To assess patient and physician satisfaction and adherence (drop-out rate and the percentage of patients who can follow the treatment and insulin titration). - Subgroup analysis on efficacy (control rate, control rate without confirmed hypoglycemia, and changes in HbA1c, FPG and PPG) and safety data according to: - Age - Duration of diabetes - Baseline treatment (OAD) - Baseline HbA1c, FPG and PP
The investigators seek to apply a shared medical visit model and interdisciplinary approach to Spanish-speaking patients. The investigators will evaluate the patient's hemoglobin A1c as a marker of glycemic control and evaluate their mood with PHQ screening tools. The investigators seek to improve diabetes care for this group of underserved patients. Potential participants will be selected from the UNMC diabetes registry. Eligibility criteria includes adult patients over the age of eighteen years old with Type 2 diabetes, HgbA1c greater than 8%, whose preferred language is Spanish. Exclusion criteria include pregnancy, residency at a nursing home or other facility, substance abuse, and physician recommendation that study is not appropriate for the patient.
Community Paramedicine @Home (CP@Home) is a novel community paramedicine health assessment program for high users of Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Individuals who have been identified as active callers to EMS, individuals who have called EMS for lift-assists, and direct paramedic referrals are referred into the community paramedicine home visit program. The program will focus on in-home chronic disease management, community health service connections, and EMS usage education. Aside from chronic disease management, aspects of the program include health-related quality of life, social isolation and other social determinants of health. Participants in the program will have up to 3 one-on-one home visits from a community paramedic to ultimately reduce repeat EMS calls and improve their overall health.
The purpose of this study is to collect data that will help researchers better understand the various causes of obesity and diabetes; particularly to understand how consumption of NCASs affects the way the body uses nutrients.
