Filter by:This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of individual insulin use training given to patients with type 2 diabetes using insulin on safe drug administration, pain level and perception of treatment. The study was conducted between October 2022 and March 2023 with a randomized control group.
The benefits of Therapeutic Patient Education (TPE) have long been proven, but its implementation remains insufficient. It is only accessible to a part of the population and is too often limited to the acquisition of knowledge. TPE consists of supporting the patient in making decisions about his or her health, managing his or her life with the disease and treatment through the acquisition or maintenance of skills. Simulation is a pedagogical method of creating fictional or reconstructed environments in order to develop skills, know-how and abilities for which direct instruction is impossible for ethical, economic or technical reasons. To date, it is recommended for the development of caregiver skills, and has been the subject of two studies among family caregivers. It seems likely that simulation will add value to the methods currently used in TPE. To our knowledge, no studies have been conducted on simulation-based TPE (S-TPE) with patients. A consensus conference, which is a rigorous method of comparing the opinions of experts in TPE, simulation, patient experts and caregivers, was held in order to determine the learning that could be developed through simulation and the conditions of use. However, since the patient is a specific type of learner, we hypothesize that there may be some additional conditions for the use of S-TPE. And the value of this approach remains to be demonstrated. Since the use of S-TPE has never been studied with patients, a feasibility test would make it possible to evaluate, in the context of care, the possibility of its use and its acceptance by both patients and caregivers. This is necessary before considering a multicenter trial that demonstrates an interest in developing patient skills. It was decided to carry out this study in patients with diabetes, a condition for which TPE is a precursor. Caregivers will be able to objectify the advantages and limitations of using S-TPE.
The objective of DIAGNODE-2 is to evaluate the efficacy of Diamyd compared to Placebo, upon administration directly into a lymph node in combination with an oral vitamin D/Placebo regimen, in terms of preserving endogenous insulin secretion as measured by C-peptide.
This will be a pilot, 12-month phase II, open label, randomized, two-arm, single-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel clinical trial of individuals undergoing TPAIT (Total Pancreatectomy and Autologous Islet Transplantation) for treatment of chronic pancreatitis (CP). The two study arms consist of HCQ-treated (Hydroxychloroquine) and placebo-treated individuals. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of HCQ administration compared to placebo on islet cell function post-autologous transplantation.
To demonstrate point accuracy of the Abbott Sensor Based Glucose Monitoring System (System) interstitial glucose results against venous glucose reference and capillary fingerstick using the Consensus Error Grid over the wear duration. During the course of the wear duration, the subject is required to be testing fingerstick glucose measurement at least 8 times a day for capillary reference glucose measurements and three in-clinic visits of maximum 10 hours each for venous reference glucose measurements. With every reference measurement, the subject or study staff will perform a measurement on the System.
Patients with end-stage cystic fibrosis (CF) and severe CF-related diabetes (CFRD) may benefit from combined lung-pancreatic islet transplantation. A recent case series showed that combined bilateral lung and pancreatic islet transplantation is a viable therapeutic option for patients with end-stage CF and CFRD. The use of different organs from a single donor may lead to reduced immunogenicity. As the prevalence of CFRD has increased dramatically with the improved life expectancy of patients with CF, islet transplantation should be considered at the end-stage CF. By restoring metabolic control, the investigators hypothesize that islet transplantation may improve the management of CF patients undergoing lung transplant and decrease the complication rate in the early postoperative period.
