Filter by:The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate chlorhexidine gel associated with photodynamic therapy in the treatment of chronic periodontitis in diabetic participants. The main questions it aims to answer are: • To evaluate the clinical and microbiological response of conventional periodontal treatment associated with photodynamic therapy in diabetic participants. Participants will receive periodontal treatment carried out with the use of 2% chlorhexidine gel associated with 0.005% methylene blue and laser therapy, associated with conventional periodontal treatment, as well as the use of photodynamic therapy associated with conventional periodontal treatment in diabetic participants with periodontitis. So, twenty periodontitis patients will be selected and will separated in two groups compared with placebo. And, Clinical and microbiological parameters were evaluated at baseline and 3 months after periodontal treatment: Plaque Index, Bleeding On Probe, Probing depth, Gingival Recession and Clinical Attachment Level.
The addition of proactive nurse consultations was useful to older adults with diabetes mellitus in facilitating their chronic disease self-management. However, the service is time and resource-intensive. With the support of advanced technology, mhealth App seems to be a convenient way to support patients in managing diabetes.
The study will occur in ten selected schools within Azam Basti and Mehmoodabad, organized into five sequential phases. Phase I involves identifying NCD modifiable risk factors among younger peers (Classes 5 and 6 students) using structured diaries. Phase II includes qualitative interviews with youth (Classes 9 and 10 students), parents, and stakeholders to discuss intervention material and delivery. Phase III comprises a one-day workshop to co-create an intervention. Phase IV involves three-day training for youth to understand and deliver the intervention to their peers. Finally, Phase V assesses the intervention's feasibility using a pre-and post-test design approach.
Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure in the UK. Many people with diabetes and advanced kidney failure inject themselves with insulin and do finger-prick blood glucose tests. Managing diabetes in people with advanced kidney disease is hard, with fluctuating glucose levels and an increased risk of unsafe low glucose levels. There are currently continuous glucose monitors (CGM), which allow people to monitor glucose without painful fingerprick tests. CGM can be combined with insulin pumps to create automated insulin delivery systems (AID) that deliver insulin automatically to control glucose. AID systems are currently used in people with type 1 diabetes, but they are not used in people with type 2 diabetes. There is little information on how these systems might help people with diabetes and advanced kidney failure and on dialysis. This study will investigate whether automated insulin delivery can improve glucose levels and quality of life in people with diabetes treated with more than one insulin injection with advanced kidney failure and/or undergoing regular dialysis treatment. This study will be a feasibility study conducted in a single centre (Imperial College, London) and be of a cross-over design. The study will aim to complete 12 people. Participants will wear a glucose sensor at the start. In random order, half will start AID followed by the usual treatment, while the other half will start the usual treatment followed by AID treatment. The duration of each treatment stage is eight weeks. The study will last about 22 weeks for each participant. Investigators will compare the glucose levels in the AID group with the usual care group to see if there is a difference. Questionnaires and interviews will help us understand participants' experiences. Investigators will carefully monitor the safety of participants.
The investigators are piloting a 3 month community-based lifestyle medicine program that incorporates experiences and education in urban agriculture, nutrition, culinary arts, and physical fitness to test the hypothesis whether this improves clinical and socio-behavioral outcomes of participants with Cardiovascular Kidney Metabolic (CKM) syndrome (high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease, and obesity) in comparison to the current medical care model (usual care) or providing healthy produce (medically tailored groceries).
More than half of all new cases of type 1 diabetes (T1D) are diagnosed in the first decade of life. It has been reported that early onset T1D may be associated with deterioration in cognitive performance. It mainly affects working memory or the ability to perform complex tasks involving planning (executive functions) or decision-making. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has reported alteration brain growth alteration related to impaired cognitive performance. Exposure to hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia and glycemic variability are thought to be responsible for these structural changes, especially in younger patients. Those changes can be detected early after diagnosis. Automatized insulin delivery systems (AIDS) can dramatically improve glycemic profile in children with T1D by reducing the occurrence of hypo and hyperglycemia. However, in France, market authorization are limited to children with unbalanced T1D who have failed to respond to other therapies and to the reinforcement of diabetes education. It therefore does not concern newly diagnosed patients. 60% of patients under 10 diagnosed with T1DM for less than 3 years are not treated in France by these systems. The aim of this study is therefore to determine whether early treatment of patients with AIDS would have a positive impact on cerebral growth and and on cognitive function in pediatric patients with T1DM.
Diabetes technology has revolutionized T1D management, disparities in technology access are evident among racial-ethnic minorities, patients with lower socioeconomic status and those with poorly controlled T1D (A1c>9%). In order to examine whether diabetes technology can reduce diabetes care burdens and enhance outcomes among some of highest need patients, diabetes technology clinical trials must be expanded beyond the very select populations included in studies thus far (ie., mostly White, higher SES). Therefore, the investigators propose to perform a pilot RCT of hybrid closed-loop insulin pump therapy (HCL) in 40 diverse adult patients with poorly controlled T1D (HbA1c >9%) from the largest academic and safety net health systems in the Los Angeles region to determine the feasibility of a RCT in this population and identify facilitators and barriers of effective use of closed loop insulin pump therapy in patients with poorly controlled T1D.
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition that affects the body's ability to process sugar effectively, which over time can increase the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and kidney damage. Other chronic conditions include high cholesterol, obesity, and depression. Persons with diabetes mellitus and multiple chronic conditions (DMMC) face higher risks of losing physical or mental function, experiencing other chronic conditions, and death. Most of the residents of New Mexico (NM) belong to groups at risk for developing DMMC. Finding quality healthcare is a key factor, as NM also ranks among the largest, poorest, and most rural states. Primary care providers (PCPs) most often treat DMMC patients, but healthcare teams can lack confidence in managing these complex patients and struggle to keep up with recommended guidelines. This Project ECHO model (ECHO) for DMMC, a telehealth intervention for healthcare teams, can lead to lower blood sugar levels in DMMC patients being treated at NM primary care clinics. ECHO is a "telementoring" program that trains healthcare teams to provide specialized medical care at their local clinics. This is done by connecting healthcare teams with specialist mentors at academic medical centers through videoconferencing sessions. During ECHO program sessions, groups of healthcare teams hear lectures on key topics in DMMC care from experts, and then give presentations of anonymous patient cases by a healthcare teams for discussion and to receive recommendations. This clinical pragmatic trial aims to learn if the intervention will improve patient blood sugar levels in persons with DMMC who are being treated at selected health clinic sites throughout New Mexico. The study aims to answer: - Whether a 0.5% drop in HbA1c on average can be achieved in the group whose healthcare teams are receiving the ECHO intervention compared to the comparator group, whose providers will not receive the intervention. - Whether the rate of an individual's HbA1c was greater than 8.5% at the baseline will be reduced by 15% at the end of the intervention. Researchers will compare health data for patients empaneled to healthcare teams in the study and the usual care comparator group both before and after the intervention period to see whether the ECHO model has a positive influence on test results.
The UK MyREMEDY study investigates whether MyDiaMate, an online self-help program, can effectively improve the mental health of adults with type 1 diabetes compared to those receiving care as usual.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of the administration of a postbiotic on glycemic control, insulin resistance and microbiota composition in subjects with type 2 diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Study the evolution of biochemical variables related to glycemic metabolism: basal glucose, basal insulin, glycemic variability through sensors, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), HOMA-IR index, C peptide. - Perform a metagenomic analysis of intestinal microbiota in stool samples. - Perform a metabolomics analysis on blood samples. - Analyze the genetic profile in blood. - Evaluate the evolution of biochemical variables related to lipid metabolism: total serum cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides. - Assess the evolution of variables related to liver function: transaminases (ALT/AST). - Analyze the evolution of the blood count. - Evaluate the evolution of anthropometric variables (weight, height, waist and hip) and body composition. - Analyze the evolution of blood pressure. - Analyze eating and physical activity habits. - Evaluate adherence to treatment and adverse events. - Personalization on the use of postbiotics and other nutritional recommendations based on the genetic profile and the identification of patient clusters. For this purpose, a randomized, double blind parallel study has been designed. Target sample size is 158 subjects. Participants will be allocated in two groups for 12 weeks: - Experimental group (n=79): daily consumption of one postbiotic capsule. - Placebo group (n=79): daily consumption of one placebo capsule. Researchers will compare the consumption of a postbiotic supplement to a placebo. Participants will visit nutritional intervention unit at week 0, week 2, week 10 and week 12 of the study.
