Filter by:Type 2 diabetes (T2D) in youth is increasing in prevalence in parallel with the obesity epidemic. In the US, almost half of patients with renal failure have DKD, and ≥80% have T2D. Compared to adult-onset T2D, youth with T2D have a more aggressive phenotype with greater insulin resistance (IR), more rapid β-cell decline and higher prevalence of diabetic kidney disease (DKD), arguing for separate and dedicated studies in youth-onset T2D. Early DKD is characterized by changes in intrarenal hemodynamic function, including increased renal plasma flow (RPF) and glomerular pressure with resultant hyperfiltration, is common in Y-T2D, and predicts progressive DKD. Studies evaluating the two currently approved medications for treating T2D in youth (metformin and insulin) have shown these medications are not able to improve β-cell function over time in the youth. However, recent evidence suggests that bariatric surgery in adults is associated with improvements in diabetes outcomes, and even T2D remission in many patients. Limited data in youth also supports the benefits of bariatric surgery, regarding weight loss, glycemic control in T2D, and cardio-renal health. While weight loss is important, the acute effect of bariatric surgery on factors such as insulin resistance likely includes weight loss-independent mechanisms. A better understanding of the effects of bariatric surgery on pancreatic function, intrarenal hemodynamics, renal O2 and cardiovascular function is critical to help define mechanisms of surgical benefits, to help identify potential novel future non-surgical approaches to prevent pancreatic failure, DKD and cardiovascular disease. The investigators' overarching hypotheses are that: 1) Y-T2D is associated with IR, pancreatic dysfunction, intrarenal hemodynamic dysfunction, elevated renal O2 consumption and cardiovascular dysfunction which improve with bariatric surgery, 2) The early effect of bariatric surgery on intrarenal hemodynamics is mediated by improvement in IR and weight loss. To address these hypotheses, the investigators will measure GFR, RPF, glomerular pressure and renal O2, in addition to aortic stiffness, β-cell function and insulin sensitivity in youth ages 12-21 with T2D (n=30) before and after vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG). To further investigate the mechanisms of renal damage in youth with T2D, two optional procedures are included in the study prior to vertical sleeve gastrectomy: 1) kidney biopsy procedure and 2) induction of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to assess morphometrics and genetic expression of renal tissue.
Focusing on patients with diabetes complicated with pulmonary infection, the purpose of this study is: 1) to identify the epidemiology, etiologic spectrum and status of diagnosis and treatment; 2) to develop a symptom score scale , clarify the risk factors and create a precise warning model; 3) to develop a rapid detection of pathogen of lower respiratory infection, to establish clinical pathways of early diagnosis and treatment of diabetes complicated with pulmonary infections (including bacterial, tuberculosis and fungal infections) and then make an application in clinic.
The overall goal of this study is to develop a new and practical way to prevent the development of Hypoglycemia Associated Autonomic Failure (HAAF), which is unawareness of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) in individuals with diabetes. Previous studies suggest that two medications, naloxone and diazoxide, may increase the body's ability to respond to episodes of low blood sugar and prevent the development of HAAF (or hypoglycemia unawareness). Only healthy subjects are being recruited for this study. The study has three distinct phases. In the first phase, healthy, non-diabetic individuals who are susceptible to developing HAAF are identified. Only these individuals will be studied in the second and third phases. The second phase of this study evaluates the effect of using a naloxone nasal spray versus a placebo nasal spray in improving the body's response to episodes of low blood sugar and in preventing the development of HAAF. The third phase of this study evaluates the effect of using naloxone nasal spray and diazoxide in combination, compared to naloxone nasal spray plus a placebo (for diazoxide) or diazoxide plus a placebo (for naloxone) in improving the body's response to episodes of low blood sugar and in preventing the development of HAAF.
This work will test a set of strategies for helping community health centers (CHCs) routinely identify and take action on the SDH-related needs of patients with / at risk for DM using a stakeholder-driven process to develop EHR-based SDH data collection / summary tools for CHCs.
The study aims to investigate the validity of 2 hour post-prandial UCPCR test in paediatric and adult patients with diabetes duration greater than 2 and 5 years, respectively, for the purposes of distinguishing between patients with type 1 diabetes and MODY in the UAE population.
In this study, the investigators will compare the effectiveness of patient-driven diabetes Shared Medical Appointments (SMAs) to standardized diabetes SMAs. The curriculum to be used is Targeted Training for Illness Management (TTIM), a 6-session modular group intervention for chronic illness self-management, and has been tested in diabetes. The standardized group visit model will consist of diabetes SMAs with the full TTIM 6-session curriculum, led by a health educator.
Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a very frequent pathology, which can lead to renal failure and the need for renal replacement therapy. In people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes mellitus (DM), glycemic control is very important for the prevention of microvascular injury. In this context, the Nursing Process (NP) is the instrument to guide care, contributing to the attention of individuals' needs. Objective: To evaluate the results of Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC), obtained through interventions of the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) for the glycemic control, in patients with diabetes in renal replacement therapy, with a diagnosis of Unstable Glycemia, of the North American Nursing Diagnosis - International (NANDA-I). Method: Randomized clinical trial in three dialysis services in southern Brazil. Population: Type I and II diabetes patients on hemodialysis. Sample: Over 18 years old, literate, who accept to participate in the study by signing a Term of Consent Free and Clarified. Exclusion criteria: severe uncorrected deficiency in hearing, speech, total amaurosis, degenerative neurological diseases, or score less than 20 in the Mini Mental State Examination. Randomization occurred by clusters, considering dialysis shifts. The CG followed routine treatment and guidelines, while the IG received nursing interventions on a monthly basis for 6 months. Variables related to NOC scores and the knowledge, attitude and self-care tests for DM were applied before and after the intervention period. After the intervention period, a washout period of 06 months will occur, after which the variables will be collected.
The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) guidelines have not made any specific recommendations regarding dietary pulses. To update the recommendations, the Diabetes and Nutrition Study Group (DNSG) of the EASD commissioned an umbrella review and updated systematic review and meta-analysis using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach to summarize the available evidence from prospective cohort studies of the association between dietary pulses/legumes and cardiometabolic disease outcomes (incident cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, hypertension and overweight/obesity).
The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) guidelines have not made any specific recommendations regarding the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, a dietary pattern that emphasizes fruits and vegetables, low-fat or non-fat dairy, limiting saturated fat intake and usually also recommends limiting sodium intake. To update the recommendations, the Diabetes and Nutrition Study Group (DNSG) of the EASD commissioned an umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach to summarize the available evidence from recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses of prospective cohort studies and randomized and non-randomized controlled trials of the relationship between the DASH dietary pattern and cardiometabolic risk.
The objective of this pilot study is to compare breast milk composition in mothers of three different metabolic states (normal weight, obese, and gestational diabetic) and to determine the extent to which breastmilk components are transmitted to the infant gut and are associated with the anthropometric and body composition changes in their infants during the first 6 months of life. It is hypothesized that 1) different maternal metabolic states will be associated with differences in breastmilk microbial communities and breastmilk biochemical features, 2) differences in these breastmilk biomarkers will be transmitted to infants and 3) breastmilk microbial and metabolic features will be associated with infant growth outcomes.
