Filter by:Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is a tool used in the treatment of patients with type 1 diabetes. A continuous glucose monitor (CGM) is a subcutaneous tissue sensor, which provides a tissue fluid glucose measurement every 1 to 5 minutes. Since CGM measure the glucose level by a sensor in subcutaneous tissue, there is uncertainty in the estimation of blood glucose levels. The accuracy of a certain CGM system can be assessed by comparing the glucose levels estimated by CGM with measured glucose levels in plasma. In the current study, we will compare the accuracy of the 2 CGM systems available on the market for clinical use in patients with type 1 diabetes. The aim of the current study is to evaluate effectiveness, safety and treatment satisfaction with 2 different CGM systems among adult type 1 diabetic patients.
Blood sugar and insulin levels after a meal may be altered by the food and beverages a person consumes. Keeping a healthy blood sugar level may help prevent and manage type 2 diabetes and related diseases. This study will look at how drinking different common beverages (milk, low-fat milk, nonfat milk, orange juice, coffee, and water) with a meal changes blood sugar and insulin levels.
The study uses a randomized, placebo-controlled experimental design consisting of 4 different test treatments matched on carbohydrate (CHO) content. The three beans are similar in their CHO content amount for ½ cup at ~20 grams CHO. Each of the bean varieties will be served in a ~½ cup serving size with ~ ½ cup of plain steamed white rice (30 grams CHO) for a total of 50 grams of CHO per meal for each of the three test treatments. The 4th placebo or control treatment consists of ~ 7/8 cup of rice alone, an amount consistent with the CHO content of the test meals. Most diabetic meal plans recommend no more than 45-60 grams of CHO per meal. Fifty grams of CHO is a standard amount for glycemic response testing in general. The investigators hypotheses were: - The test meals containing the three bean types in combination with white rice will decrease the participants' glycemic response when eaten as part of a meal. - The reduction in post-prandial glycemia will not differ between bean types in the elicited responses among individuals with type 2 diabetes.
This research study is designed to better understand post-operative complications as related to the tightness of blood sugar control. It is also hoped that we may learn that a more liberal control of your blood sugars is not inferior to the current strict glucose control. Our ultimate goal is to evaluate if there is any change in the rates of complications between the two groups. We will be comparing the current strict blood glucose control with a more liberal target for blood sugars.
Newly diagnosed hyperglycemia (NDH) and stress hyperglycemia (SH) during acute illness is reported as a non-physiological condition in hospitals. The investigators aim is to determine the rate of NDH and SH among cases admitted to coronary ICU with acute coronary disease and to inquire the relationship of SH with disease severity and functional outcomes such as longevity of ICU stay.
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of flaxseed on atherogenic lipids, plasma inflammatory markers, and insulin sensitivity. We hypothesize that flaxseed omega-3 fatty acids will improve the lipid profile (decrease triglyceride, total and LDL-cholesterol and increase HDL-cholesterol). Flaxseed is the richest dietary source of lignan secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG). Lignans are estrogens found in plant sources that behave similar to endogenous estrogens and have been associated with cardiovascular benefits due to their antioxidant activity. Therefore, we also hypothesize that flax-lignans will cause a significant decrease in LDL oxidation and in inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1B, serum fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP-4), and serum amyloid attached to high density lipoprotein (HDL-SAA).
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the performance and safety of the intravenous blood glucose (IVBG) System relative to point of care (POC) meter performance when each method is compared to the Yellow Springs Instrument (YSI) under various conditions in the operating room (OR), ICU and general ward (GW) in subjects undergoing elective or non-emergent surgery as well as subjects admitted to the medical/surgical ICU. POC meter systems are currently used in the hospital environment to measure blood glucose values. The YSI is an accepted reference standard for assessing POC meter accuracy. The secondary objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of the IVBG System as compared with the YSI under various conditions in the operating room (OR), intensive care unit (ICU) and general ward (GW) in subjects undergoing elective or non-emergent surgery as well as subjects admitted to the medical/surgical ICU.
Primary study endpoint: blood sugar values Patients: Patients admitted to an ICU 5 steps: 1. Routine treatment, 2. Implementation of SOP for blood sugar monitoring and intervention, 3. Education of intensive care nurses, 4. 6 months free interval without further education or check-up of SOP implementation, 5. Check of SOP implementation and clinical outcome concerning range of blood sugar
The principal objective of this single-center 2-period study is to evaluate the glycemic control of in-patients in 3 hospital departments (Diabetology, Cardiology and Pulmonary Care) as the rate of capillary blood glucose measurements within a pre-define target range, and to compare results during the period I (warning of the Accu-Check Inform glucose meter on glucose levels not activated) and period II (warning activated).
Randomized controlled trial to compare blood glucose control by the model predictive control algorithm with variable sampling rate (eMPC) with routine glucose management protocol (RMP) in peri- and postoperative period in cardiac surgery patients.
