Filter by:Despite major technological advances, management of type one diabetes mellitus (T1D) remains suboptimal, putting millions of people at risk for immediate and long-term complications. After meals, a mismatch between carbohydrate absorption rate and insulin action typically leads to alternating periods of hyper- and hypoglycemia. A conceptually promising approach to control both problems is dietary carbohydrate restriction to reduce postprandial blood glucose changes and insulin needs. In a prior survey study, the investigators documented exceptional glycemic control (HbA1c 5.67%) and low acute complication rates among 316 children and adults with T1D consuming a very-low-carbohydrate diet. To test the feasibility of this approach, the investigators will conduct a randomized-controlled feeding study involving 32 adults and adolescents with T1D. Participants will be randomized to receive a very low carbohydrate vs. standard carbohydrate diet. Participants will be in the study for 12 weeks and receive all their meals by meal delivery.They will share continuous glucose monitoring data with the study team and be in close communication to adjust insulin doses as needed. All participants will have a screening visit, an individual or group education session, and 3 study visits to evaluate diabetes control and metabolic health. Some of these visits will have a fasting blood draw. Two of the visits will also comprise additional metabolic studies to assess glucagon response and brain function during hypoglycemia by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Participants will have IV catheters placed and receive IV insulin to drop blood glucose levels to 50 mg/dl for up to 30 minutes. The primary outcome will be HbA1c change from baseline. Secondary outcomes include detailed measures of glycemic variability, metabolic health, and quality of life.
The purpose of this study is to gain more information about the step-by-step process that causes someone to develop type 1 diabetes. Scientists think that a person's own immune system, directed by genetic and environmental factors play a major role in its development. Participation involves a blood draw, a brief medical history questionnaire and measurements of height and weight. Some participants will be asked to return for annual follow-up visits for 10 years.
Endothelial dysfunction and vasoreactivity disorders are early subclinical complications of type 1 diabetes (T1D). In a preventive setting, in T1D patients still free of complications, the research of non-pharmacological interventions to improve endothelial function appears fundamental. In this randomized controlled trial, the effects of exercise training on endothelial function will be evaluated in T1D adults. Secondary objectives are to evaluate the exercise training effects on the micro and macrovascular function and exercise-induced tissue vasoreactivity and their possible neurometabolic consequences. An improvement in vascular function, particularly endothelium-dependent, as well as in neurometabolic profile, through this non-pharmacological strategy is expected
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of insulin therapy when the bolus dose of insulin is calculated on the basis of protein and fat content in food intake, in addition to that of carbohydrates in T1D patients treated by insulin pump. The study is planned to recruit 150 patients with type1 diabetes already practicing functional insulin therapy based on carbohydrate counting in meals. We will therefore study the effect on continuous glucose measured by subcutaneous sensor, of meal bolus adjustments by comparing two groups of T1D patients: - Groupe A takes into account the lipid and protein content in addition to the carbohydrate content - Group B takes into account the carbohydrate content only At randomization, all patients receive dietary and adjustment of bolus doses instructions according to the randomization group. They have to apply these instructions for 3 months. At the end of 3 months, the study groups will be under glucose monitoring during two weeks in the Outpatient Clinic but returns to the investigational site in hospital to download data from the continuous measurement of glucose. In addition, we propose a period of extension similar to that of the main period, namely 3 months of application of dietetic and adaptation of bolus doses instructions and 2 weeks of continuous measurement of glucose. During each 2 weeks period will be assessed specific glucose parameters in the post-prandial period over 4hours (glycemic sensor values in the glucose range between 70-140 mg / dl, glycemic sensor values in the glucose range between 140 -180 mg /dl and > 180 mg /dl) after taking each meal during the 13 days of Glucose Continuous Measurement (GCM), average daily glucose per meal, average blood glucose over the 13-day period after each meal.
