Filter by:The primary aim of the present study is to study the effect of adrenaline administration on inflammatory parameters (e.g. leukocyte phenotype, cytokines, inflammatory proteins). Secondary objectives consist of the effect of adrenaline on atherogenic parameters. - All participants will receive intravenous infusion of adrenaline for an hour - We will draw blood at 7 time points, not including screening - Participants will be asked to return for a total of 4 times Researchers will compare 2 groups, healthy individuals versus people with diabetes type 1 to see if the inflammatory reaction to adrenaline differs between these two groups.
Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are disorders in which there is a block at some point in the normal metabolic pathway caused by a genetic defect of a specific enzyme. The number of diseases in humans known to be attributable to inherited point defects in metabolism now exceeds 500.While the diseases individually are rare, they collectively account for a significant proportion of neonatal and childhood morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis is important not only for treatment and prognostication but also for genetic counselling and antenatal diagnosis in subsequent pregnancies.
Iatrogenic hypoglycemia is still considered to be the number one barrier to effective glycemic control in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). In a previous study, it was observed in people without diabetes that fasting can be detrimental to the hormonal and hepatic responses to insulin-induced hypoglycemia. In the experiments described herein, the impact fasting has on hypoglycemic counterregulation in people with T1D will be determined.
This is a single-center, open-label, crossover trial with two arms and two periods (2x2) and one-week washout period. The study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of an AI-based bedtime smart snack intervention in reducing nocturnal low glucose in people living with T1D on MDI therapy compared with traditional CGM-augmented MDI therapy as the control.
The breath analysis (BreathSpec® device) data of all participants that were included into the VAARA study (NCT05771090) will be analysed, this includes data from up to 40 breath samples from each of the 10 participants who underwent 2 insulin-induced hypoglycaemic episodes during two visits. The primary objective is to find a possible association between volatile organic compounds (VOCs) measured by the BreathSpec® device and blood glucose. For this we will use descriptive statistics, correlation coefficients, as well as a Principal Component Analysis and a partial least squares discriminant analysis. Furthermore, the time lag between hypoglycaemia onset and change in VOCs will be quantified.
The study is being conducted to understand if the hemoglobin A1c, a measurement of control of blood sugars over a 3-month time, is valid in patients with Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADs) in place. To understand whether it is an adequate measurement, the investigators will compare the A1c to results from a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) measurement of blood sugars. By monitoring blood sugars continuously, the investigators will also assess whether they can get better control of blood sugars with a CGM, including avoiding low blood sugars.
The Total duration of trial participation for each participant with post-bariatric hypoglycemia will be a maximum of 59 weeks, with the following duration of trial periods - 19 weeks for the Core Phase. It is composed of: - a Screening period: a maximum of 3 weeks - a Run-in period (no treatment): 4 weeks - a Blinded Treatment Phase: 12 weeks - 36 weeks Extension Phase = an open-label Treatment period - 4 weeks for the safety follow-up period (without any treatment).
This study will examine the effects of type II diabetes on cognitive functions and mood in middle-aged patients. In addition, the association between cognitive functions and glycemic controls is studied in patients. Sixty patients and sixty healthy controls will be recruited and assessed by a multiprofessional team (neuropsychologist, physician).
A mobile health program "HypoPals", which incorporates data from continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGMs) and sends personalized text messages to help people sharpen their low blood sugar symptom detection skills, and help people consider how they think of low blood sugar, was devised. The goal of the current study is to make sure that HypoPals runs smoothly, users find the intervention useful, and the way the researchers conduct the final study will be correct (i.e., there is a need for 'pilot testing' the developed technology and research methods). All participants will receive basic hypoglycemia education text messages, and then be randomized to one of the four experimental conditions: Hypoglycemia Symptom Detection Training, Education Plus, both Symptom Detection Training and Education Plus, and usual care. Participants may receive additional interventional text messages based on the experimental condition participants are assigned to. The study may terminate after collecting sufficient data to evaluate the primary outcome (i.e., determining the number of participants recruited to reach 20 participants who complete the intervention).
The purpose of this study is to learn more about changes in glucose levels in hospitalized infants with intestinal failure receiving parenteral nutrition or PN (nutrients delivered intravenously), as they transition from continuous PN (given 24 hours a day) to cycled PN (given less than 24 hours a day). There is an increased risk of glucose abnormalities with cycled PN, which can be harmful to infant growth and brain health. Continuous glucose monitors (CGM) will be used to measure interstitial glucose levels (in the tissue under the skin), which are similar to blood glucose levels. CGM is a small, minimally-invasive sensor worn on the thigh, which gives a glucose measurement every 5 minutes, and can help us understand changes in blood sugar levels without having to do a blood draw or fingerstick. CGM will be used during PN cycling for up to 30 days or until hospital discharge. CGM data will be hidden from the clinical team, there will be no change to routine clinical care. This study may help us understand how cycled PN affects glucose levels in infants with intestinal failure, which may help other children treated with cycled PN in the future.
