Filter by:Most children with type 1 diabetes have a drop in the blood sugar during exercise. This drop in the blood sugar can result in hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). In children using an insulin pump, there is an opportunity to reduce the basal insulin rate during exercise. This study is being conducted to determine if decreasing the insulin that is received during exercise will reduce the risk of hypoglycemia. We hope to learn more about how the body responds to hypoglycemia and to hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) when it occurs. As part of the study, children will have a visit on two different days. During each visit, children will exercise on a treadmill for about 60 minutes. During one of the visits, the children's basal rate will be continued during the exercise. During one visit, the basal insulin will be stopped. The blood sugar will be checked frequently during the exercise.
Compared to standard treatment goals achieving lower targets for LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and blood pressure in people with diabetes will slow the progression of atherosclerosis as measured by carotid artery thickness, and reduce clinical cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. This study is a randomized 3-year trial. The primary endpoint will be a combination of various measures of the carotid artery, (which is an easy, non-invasive way to detect cardiovascular disease) and events such as heart attacks and strokes. The study will also look at secondary endpoints such as how well the heart pumps, fat,protein and inflammatory markers in the blood,and kidney function. The study enrolled 549 American Indian men and women with diabetes, > 40 years of age and is being conducted in four field centers involving Indian Health Service/Tribal primary care facilities in Phoenix/Sacaton, Arizona; Chinle, Arizona; Rapid City/Pine Ridge, South Dakota; and Lawton, Oklahoma, with input from American Indian physicians and community members.
The optimal insulin regimen for children and adolescents with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes remains unknown. The purpose of this study is to determine whether a split evening injection regimen (insulin injections before breakfast, supper and bedtime) leads to better glucose control and quality of life than twice daily insulin in children and adolescents with new onset diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to provide information on the risks and benefits of routine blood pressure lowering (regardless of blood pressure level), and intensive lowering of blood glucose levels, in patients with Type 2 diabetes at high risk of cardiovascular events. The major outcomes of the study will be cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke or dying as a result of cardiovascular disease), as well as new or worsening diabetic eye and kidney disease.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether chromium (yeast), is effective in improving glycaemic control and insulin resistance.
To examine the lung when people with diabetes take an inhaled form of insulin, compared to subcutaneous insulin.

The AFORRD trial is asking three important questions: What proportion of people with Type 2 Diabetes are likely to be treated satisfactorily with a fixed dose of a statin that lowers blood cholesterol levels to help reduce the risk of heart disease? To what extent do omega-3 fatty acids lower blood triglyceride levels when given with or without a statin? Are there simple techniques that can help people to take their tablets on a regular basis?
1. To determine and compare the efficacy of Tacrolimus/Rapa versus Tacrolimus/MMF-based immunosuppression (in conjunction with initial short-term steroids and polyclonal antibody administration) in Type 1-diabetic patients undergoing simultaneous pancreas/kidney allograft transplantation. 2. To evaluate the safety of Tacrolimus/Rapa versus Tacrolimus/MMF in terms of drug-related complications and overimmunosuppression-associated complications, particularly under monitoring of the pharmacokinetic profile of all drugs administered.
This is a questionnaire based study (no study drug is involved) that asks if more patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes on diabetes pills will choose insulin as the next treatment choice if inhaled insulin were available in addition to all currently available treatments, compared with if inhaled insulin was not available as part of currently available treatments. This study will also ask if patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes currently managed on diabetes pills + once daily insulin will choose as the next treatment choice to take insulin multiple times a day if inhaled insulin were available in addition to all currently available treatments, compared with if inhaled insulin was not available as part of currently available treatments.
