Filter by:To evaluate the technical performance of the hyposafe H02 during everyday activities and during insulin-induced hypoglycaemia, in addition to safety issues associated with the implantation and use of the hyposafe H02 in subjects with type 1 diabetes.
A single center pilot study assessing the Vigilant Diabetes Management Companion for the prevention of recurrent nocturnal hypoglycemia in type I diabetes patients.
Surgery on the gastrointestinal (GI) tract results in profound changes to the metabolic profile. This is well described, including the rapid resolution of diabetes seen after bariatric surgery. The underlying pathophysiology, and incidence in lean patients undergoing surgery for cancer, is somewhat less described. The investigators plan to assess the symptomatic and glycaemic profile, as well as causative pathways, for metabolic symptoms in patients after surgery on the GI tract. The investigators will use glucose tolerance tests, physiological challenges with somatostatin analogues and antibiotics, and assess tissue transcriptomic changes.
Hypoglycemia is an increasingly recognized complication of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) that is poorly understood and difficult to treat. Investigators hypothesize that after RYGB some patients have incomplete carbohydrate absorption in the small intestine which leads to inconsistent glucose levels and hypoglycemia during oral consumption of a meal. Investigators further hypothesize that pancreatic enzyme supplementation with (Creon) during meals and snacks will improve carbohydrate absorption and lead to more stable glucose levels in patients with post-RYGB hypoglycemia.
This is a single center, single-blind randomized cross over design trial that will compare the impact of intra-nasal naloxone vs. intra-nasal saline administration during experimental hypoglycemia on day one on responses to experimental hypoglycemia on day two. Investigators intend to enroll 18 individuals to obtain the complete data sets from 15 participants. Expected duration of subject participation is 10-12 weeks. This study will consist of two 2-day intervention visits separated by approximately 8 weeks.
A single center pilot study assessing the Vigilant Diabetes Management System for the prevention of recurrent mild to moderate hypoglycemia in type I diabetes patients.
This exploratory double blind randomized active controlled study is designed to assess the effects of a treatment with therapeutical dosage of sitagliptin versus therapeutical dosage of glimepiride as add on therapy in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) patients inadequately controlled on metformin monotherapy.
Glycogen storage disease (GSD) patients frequently experience periods of hypoglycemia, putting them at risk for several complications, such as hepatomegaly, adenomas, and cirrhosis. As of now, glycogen storage disease patients are limited to using finger stick glucose meters to monitor their glycemia at home. Diabetes Sentry, a non-invasive hypoglycemia detector designed like a watch, has been available for diabetic patients to non-invasively alert for hypoglycemia, but has never been tested in a GSD population. The investigators propose to test the accuracy of the Diabetes Sentry on patients with GSD types 0, I, III, VI, and IX, by measuring their metabolic markers every two hours, as well as whenever the device alerts for hypoglycemia. If accurate, it could be a useful tool for GSD patients in managing hypoglycemia, both clinically and at home.
Our aim is to determine the feasibility of using continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) in infants with low blood glucose to improve how we care for these infants. To do this we plan on monitoring blood glucose levels with CGMs (instead of only with intermittent bloodsampling) in late-preterm and term infants admitted to the NICU who have had hypoglycemia. To see if using CGMs helps us prevent low blood glucose levels and allows us to find a diagnosis and treat sooner, we will randomize patients into one of two groups: a "CGM group" where the CGM information is made available to the NICU team and a "Standard of Care" group where the CGM information will only be available to the research team. However, if infants in the "Standard of Care" group are noted to have three unrecognized severe low blood glucose levels then the research team will inform the NICU team that this has occurred.
The goal of the current study is to determine difference in glycemic control between traditional split mix regimen with Neutral Protamine Hagedorn (NPH) and regular insulin vs basal bolus regimen with glargine and humalog in a population of type 2 diabetes commonly encountered in the investigators county hospital setting which include newly diagnosed type 2 patients and patients on relatively high dose of insulin (dose >0.4 units/kg body weight. Primary outcome of the study is to determine differences in glycemic control between treatment group as measured by the mean daily blood glucose. Secondary outcome is to measure number of hypoglycemic events, number of severe hypoglycemia and length of hospital stay.
