Filter by:The hypothesis is that an optimal formulation of fast acting and intermediary acting insulin analogues will improve post prandial glycaemic control in patients with type 1 diabetes. OBJECTIVE: The objective is to describe pharmacodynamic (PD) and pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of Insulin Aspart (IAsp), Biphasic Insulin Aspart (BIAsp) 30, 50 and 70 for a period of 12 hours following a standard test meal on four days respectively in subjects with type 1 diabetes.
Patients with type 1 diabetes trained in multiple daily insulin injection were treated with two diffferent kinds of long acting insulin preparations. The two insulin preparations were glargine and ultralente insulin. Patients were randomized to receive one of the two insulin preparations for the first 4 months followed by the second preparation for a further four months. Short acting insulin used was the same during both periods. We found that glargine insulin was better than ultralente insulin in our study.
The primary objective is to determine whether candesartan, compared to placebo reduces the incidence of diabetic retinopathy in normotensive, normoalbuminuric type 1 diabetic patients without retinopathy. The secondary objective is to determine whether candesartan, compared to placebo, beneficially influences the rate of change in urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER). This study is part of the DIRECT Programme also including secondary prevention studies of diabetic retinopathy in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The primary objective for all three pooled studies is to determine whether candesartan, compared to placebo, reduces the incidence of microalbuminuria in type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients.
The primary objective is to determine whether candesartan, compared to placebo reduces the progression of diabetic retinopathy in normotensive, normoalbuminuric type 1 diabetic patients with retinopathy. The secondary objective is to determine whether candesartan, compared to placebo, reduces the incidence of clinically significant macular oedema (CSME) and/or proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and beneficially influences the rate of change in urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER). This study is part of the DIRECT Programme also including a primary prevention study of diabetic retinopathy in type 1 diabetes and a secondary prevention study in type 2 diabetes. The primary objective for all three pooled studies is to determine whether candesartan, compared to placebo, reduces the incidence of microalbuminuria in type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether E1 and G1 are safe and effective in the treatment of type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, in which the immune system attacks pancreatic beta cells. These cells produce insulin, which regulates blood glucose. The mainstay of current treatment for type 1 diabetes is dietary control and daily parenteral administration of insulin. Recent diabetes research has increasingly focused on pancreatic islet cell replacement, either by islet cell transplantation or by endogenous regeneration of islet cells. During fetal development, islet precursor cells proliferate and differentiate into mature beta cells capable of producing insulin. This process is known as islet cell neogenesis. Islet cell neogenesis normally ceases around birth, however, the adult pancreas still retains significant potential for islet regeneration, as shown by tissue repair following pancreatic injury. Pre-clinical studies have shown that E1 and G1 can re-establish islet cell neogenesis and increase pancreatic insulin production in diabetic animal models. It is therefore postulated that treatment with E1 and G1 may produce islet cell regeneration in type 1 diabetic patients.
Children born in Turku, Oulu and Tampere university cities in Finland are screened at birth for HLA alleles that carry increased risk to or protection from development of type 1 diabetes. Children carrying increased risk are followed at 3-12-month intervals for development of diabetes-associated autoantibodies. Children having at least two types of autoantibodies (of the four measured) in at least two consecutively drawn samples are randomized to receive daily intranasal insulin or placebo in a double-blinded 1:1 trial. Hypothesis is that intranasal insulin delays or prevents development of clinical type 1 diabetes. The primary outcome measure is development of clinical diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to assess a novel approach to immunosuppression in allogenic pancreatic islet cell transplant recipients. In addition, the study aims to assess remote site islet processing with culture for pancreatic islet cell transplantation in human subjects.
Our hypothesis is that a successful clinical islet transplant program can be established at the University of Wisconsin using a steroid -free, sirolimus- and low dose tacrolimus - based immunosuppressive drug regimen (Edmonton protocol). We intend to answer the following research questions: 1) will treatment of islet transplant recipients with thiazolidinediones (i.e. pioglitazone) enhance post-transplant islet function and reduce the number of islets necessary to achieve adequate metabolic control? 2) which type 1 diabetic patients are optimal candidates for islet transplantation (i.e. islet transplant alone or islet after kidney transplantation)? 3) Can cadaver donor pancreases, which are ordinarily discarded and not used for pancreas transplantation be used for islet transplantation?
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of insulin delivered in the peritoneum (abdomen)by an implantable pump in Type 1 diabetics.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Type 1 Diabetic subjects using the Paradigm 722 System, which is a glucose sensor-augmented insulin pump, can improve glycemic control when compared to subjects using the Paradigm 715 insulin pump only.
