Filter by:The goal of this performance evaluation is to compare the blood glucose results obtained using the VerioVue Blood Glucose Monitoring system (BGMS) with those obtained from a validated comparator method (iSTAT 1 Analyser) using blood obtained from neonates. The main question it aims to answer is: •How accurate is the VerioVue BGMS when compared to a product that has already been confirmed as accurate (iSTAT 1 Analyser) when hospital staff test blood taken from neonates on these instruments? Participants (neonates) will have a small amount of blood taken from a heel prick (performed by a HCP for medical purposes) or from an existing arterial line.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the FreeStyle Libre 3 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System performance with respect to YSI reference venous plasma sample measurements.
The CLIMATE Observational Study examines to what extent chronically ill patients experience adverse health effects because of heat and whether the patients' specific efforts, somatosensory amplification, self-efficacy, health literacy and commitment to the GP, degree of urbanisation of the patients' administration district and characteristics of the patients' neighborhood are associated with these effects.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the accuracy and usability of the blood glucose meter in untrained participants, both with or without diabetes, as well as those with pre-diabetes.
This study is a case-control study, where the assumed different subtypes of type 2 diabetes in people of Tamil ethnicity and Swiss origin living in Bern, Switzerland will be examined by measuring the metabolite profiles and the corresponding genetic background as well as ethnic differences in fat distribution performed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The investigators aim to show that the specific metabolite profile and the fat distribution in the Tamil population is associated with the high prevalence of diabetes in this ethnicity. Fat distribution patterns are thought to determine the expression and severity of dysglycaemia. Additionally, the investigators aim to identify the key enzymes, their corresponding genes, and the respective polymorphisms relevant for these metabolic variations.
The purpose of this study is to find out if PF-07081532 ("the active study drug"), is safe and helps treat people with obesity without diabetes to lose weight, and people with diabetes to keep their blood sugar in good control. Individuals diagnosed with diabetes that are on metformin or individuals with obesity without diabetes will be included in the study. Those participating in the diabetes part of the study, will receive either active study drug, placebo, or an approved treatment called Rybelsus. Those in the obesity part of the study, will receive either active study drug or placebo. The study will last for about 36 weeks except for the first 25% of the participants that enter in which case the study will last for approximately 48 weeks. during this time there will be visits every 4 weeks with phone calls in between.
The primary objective is to assess the frequency of a wound healing complication, in a closed incisional wound in a "high risk" surgical incision when treated with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy versus a highly absorbent antimicrobial post - operative absorbent dressing.
A three month meal replacement dietary system which combines meal replacements and self-prepared meals which hypothetically will result in Diabetes remission in >30% of intervention subjects To assess the efficacy of which patients with Type 2 Diabetes (non insulin dependent) can be brought into a optimal A1C remission state without the use of medications by achieving clinically significant weight loss (>20-30 pounds) using a proprietary meal replacement system associated with a 3-month intensive lifestyle program.
Cardiovascular events remain a major driver of morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Diffuse coronary atherosclerosis, combined with impairment of the microcirculation are frequent even in asymptomatic patients and can lead to unfavourable outcomes. In recent years, novel classes of antidiabetic drugs have been introduced, with salutary effects on cardiovascular outcomes of diabetic patients. The sodium-glucose linked transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors - gliflozins - bind to the SGLT2 receptors of the proximal tubule of the nephron and cause glycosuria. They have been shown to have favourable cardiovascular effects by reducing deaths from cardiovascular causes in type 2 diabetic patients. Moreover, dapagliflozin reduces hospitalisation for heart failure in type 2 diabetic heart failure patients with and without reduced ejection fraction and reduces cardiovascular death and all causes mortality in those with reduced ejection fraction. It is currently unknown if this is mediated by improvement of coronary physiology both at the level of the epicardial coronary arteries as well as the coronary microcirculation. The purpose of the study is to explore the impact of dapagliflozin on the coronary and microcirculatory function of type 2 diabetic patients.
Pre-existing diabetes prior KT and Early Post-Transplant Hyperglycemia (PTRH) defined as a fasting blood glucose greater than or equal to 126 mg/dL or random glucose greater than or equal to 200 mg/dL or requirement of insulin during the first 45 days after KT has been associated with increased risks of post-transplant organ rejection. PTRH has also been associated to high infection rates, and in some cases, early mortality. The use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) compared with blood glucose meter monitoring in non-transplant patients with diabetes resulted in lower HbA1C by 0.4 to 0.5% within the first three months of use without major changes in patients' antidiabetic regimen, possibly due to patients become more conscious about their diabetes status and diet. CGM free style libre-2 measures the interstitial fluid every minute and their glucose sensors are replaced every two weeks. To our knowledge there are no studies that assess the role of CGM in improving glycemic and transplant outcomes in solid organ transplant patients, mainly because access to CGM is often limited by inadequate health insurance coverage or high out-of-pocket costs. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention will be feasible and acceptable to patients, and our overarching hypothesis is that patients who wear a CGM will have better glycemic control, using a proxy measure of lower fructosamine/albumin ratio and better CGM-parameters, compared to those who did not wear it. Fructosamine represents the average glycemia for the 2 to 3 weeks prior. It is useful in any situation where glycemic control needs to be assessed over a period shorter than a month and in cases involving interference in the HbA1C measurement such as in adults with KT due to shorter red blood cell lifespan related to anemia of chronic disease. Fructosamine values vary in relation to the serum albumin concentration, which makes the fructosamine/albumin ratio the ideal physiologic measure for this pilot study . The investigators also hypothesize that patients who wear a CGM will have less microalbuminuria compared to those who did not wear it.
