Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess whether the short-term use of professional continuous glucose monitoring (Pro-CGM) at the Parkland Diabetes Clinic in selected patients with poorly-controlled diabetes due to hyper- and/or hypoglycemia leads to improvements in patients' glycemic control within 3-6 months, subjective understanding of how food, activity, and medications affect blood sugar levels, and diabetes self-care practices. The study will be a prospective cohort study that assesses patients glycemic control and diabetes self-care practices before and 3-6 months after utilization of a Pro-CGM for 10 days. Glycemic control and diabetes self-care practices will be assessed based on hemoglobin A1c measurements and glucose data download from glucometer and Pro-CGM. A short survey will be administered at the end of the 10 days Pro-CGM use to assess whether the Pro-CGM use had a positive impact on patients' understanding of how different activities affect their blood sugar and diabetes self-care practices. Parkland Diabetes Clinic serves an ethnically diverse, low socioeconomic patient population, the majority of whom do not have access to diabetes technology like continuous glucose monitoring. CGM measures sugar levels every 5 to 15 minutes and have been shown in clinical studies to improve glycemic control. Establishing a professional CGM program at the clinic will provide short-term access to this technology. One of the main reason for conducting this study is to determine if Pro-CGM would be a useful intervention to integrate into the clinic's routine practice in the future.
The prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in the world is currently around 9.3% of adults aged between 20 and 79 years, which corresponds to 463 million people living with DM, and about 80% of these people are found in developing countries. In Brazil, fourth in the number of patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM2) in the world, the prevalence of DM is around 12%, with a significant increase in the last three decades. Non-adherence to DM treatment is known as a problem in the scenario and internationally, as it impairs the physiological response to the disease, increasing the direct and indirect cost of treatment. Pharmaceutical care is a practice model characterized by the provision of pharmaceutical services that optimize treatment, improve the process of medicines used, and aim at their best use. With the calamity situation arising from the COVID-19 pandemic created in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, the Pharmaceutical Telecare service was implemented. Dapagliflozin was recently incorporated into the Brazilian public system for the treatment of type 2 DM. Considering that there are no studies in Brazil to date on the use, treatment adherence, and problems related to pharmacotherapy (PRM) associated with dapagliflozin, and also considering that the guidance and monitoring of patients remotely have become more frequent and necessary, the purpose of this protocol is to describe a clinical trial that will evaluate the impact of a pharmaceutical telecare service in aspects related to treatment adherence, disease control, and costs, offered to people with DM2 using dapagliflozin. The hypothesis that will be tested is that Pharmaceutical Telecare can be as effective as standard care for type 2 diabetes and assess the associated costs related to teleconsultation in public health settings.
The study is to compare the effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors and other oral hypoglycemic agents in patients with coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
About 80% of patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma have aberrant fasting blood glucose at the time of diagnosis. The consistent association between pancreatic cancer and diabetes mellitus has long been recognized and even been termed as "chicken and egg". Many reports have found that pancreatic cancer can result in diabetes, which is called type 3c diabetes. New-onset diabetes is commonly observed in pancreatic cancer patients and has been considered as a potential screening sign. Moreover, diabetes has been found as a predictor of poor outcome in pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer cells have a strong dependence on glucose and they are well-known for their sweet teeth. High glucose is associated with impaired immunologic reaction, intolerability to chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other major treatments, an increased risk of pancreatic surgery. Given the linkage between pancreatic cancer and diabetes or high blood glucose, a clinical trial is needed to validate the effect of metformin and insulin on regulating blood glucose in type 3c diabetes.
The aim of this study is to understand if the timing of exercise around food intake can help improve blood sugar management in pregnant individuals with diabetes.
To characterize the System performance with respect to Yellow Springs Instrument (YSI) reference venous plasma measurements. Safety of the investigational device will be characterized by Adverse Device Effects and Serious Adverse Device Effects experienced by study participants.
incidence of AKI in diabetic patients seems to be influenced by multiple risk Factors like severe infections, elderly, poor diabetic control, previous AKI, chronic kidney disease and drugs like SGLT2-I increase risk of AKI in diabetic patients.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the performance of the Nova StatStrip A Glucose/Creatinine Meter System in the hands of the subject (lay user) and compare the result to an accepted Glucose/Creatinine reference method in the hands of a trained technician.
This is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, single-arm study intended to characterize the safety of the FreeStyle Libre 2 Flash Glucose Monitoring System when used to manage diabetes in pediatric and young adult patient populations.
Ongoing prospective cohort of type 2 diabetes individuals.
