Filter by:Data suggest that intestinal microbiota might be critically involved both in autoimmunity and in glucose homeostasis. An acetylated and butyrylated form of high amylose maize starch (HAMS-AB) that increases beneficial short chain fatty acid (SCFA) production has been safe and effective in disease prevention in mouse type 1 diabetes (T1D) models. The objective of this application is to assess the effect of administering a prebiotic, such as HAMS- AB, on the gut microbiome profile, glycemia and β-cell function in humans with T1D.
In the effort of better understanding the glucose control in people with type 1 diabetes, in-depth insight into the physiology of hepatic glucose production and its influencing factors is essential. Previously, a number of potential influencing factors of hepatic glucose production have been investigated, including insulin-on-board, low carbohydrate diet, preceding ethanol intake, exercise and multiple stimulations of hepatic glucose production. Previous post-hoc analysis of dual-hormone closed-loop systems has indicated that the rate of fall in blood glucose influences the following stimulation of hepatic glucose response. However, the rate of fall in blood glucose is highly related to insulin levels, which may explain those findings. Thus, in this study the investigators want to examine whether the different rates of fall in blood glucose with similar insulin levels on board affect the hepatic glucose response in individuals with type 1 diabetes. In the study, which will be conducted at Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen, participants will complete two study visits. On each visit, a hypoglycemic clamp technique will be used to lower the blood glucose levels of the participants (using either a rapid or slow decline rate), whereupon hepatic glucose production will be stimulated using low-dose glucagon. The study days are divided into four phases: 1) preparation phase, 2) hyperinsulinemic euglycemic phase (stabilization of blood glucose), 3) hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemic phase (rapid or slow decline in blood glucose) and 4) post-glucagon administration phase. This design will allow the investigators to examine whether differences in hepatic glucose response exist depending on preceding rate of fall in blood glucose. We hypothesize that the rate of fall in blood glucose does not affect the hepatic glucose production.
A single-arm, multi-center, clinical study to assess the safety profile of the Tandem t:slim X2 with Control-IQ system in children with T1D aged 2-6 years old under free living condition
This prospective, open-label pilot/feasibility study of 10 youth with T1D is to evaluate glycemic and metabolic changes taking place with a very low carbohydrate diet.
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a complex metabolic disorder with many pathophysiological disturbances including insulin resistance (IR) and mitochondrial dysfunction which are causally related to the development of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and which contribute to reduced life expectancy. Renal hypoxia, stemming from a potential metabolic mismatch between increased renal energy expenditure and impaired substrate utilization, is increasingly proposed as a unifying early pathway in the development of DKD. By examining the interplay between factors responsible for increased renal adenosine triphosphate (ATP) consumption and decreased ATP generation in young adults with and without T1D, this study hopes to identify novel therapeutic targets to impede the development of DKD in future trials. The investigators propose to address the specific aims in a cross-sectional study with 30 adults with T1D and 20 controls without a diagnosis of diabetes. For this protocol, participants will complete a one day study visit at Children's Hospital Colorado. Patients will undergo a Dual-energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA) scan to assess body composition, renal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to quantify renal oxygenation and perfusion, and a Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) scan to quantify renal O2 consumption. After the PET and MRI, participants will undergo a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp to quantify insulin sensitivity. Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) and Effective Renal Plasma Flow (ERPF) will be measured by iohexol and PAH clearances during the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp. To further investigate the mechanisms of renal damage in T1D, two optional procedures are included in the study: 1) kidney biopsy procedure and 2) induction of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to assess morphometrics and genetic expression of renal tissue.
The main objective of this study is to determine whether home use of day and night closed loop insulin delivery under free living conditions applying faster insulin aspart (FiAsp) is non-inferior to home use of closed-loop applying standard insulin aspart. This is a double-blind, multi-centre, randomised, crossover design study, involving a run-in period followed by two study periods during which glucose levels will be controlled either by an automated closed-loop system using standard rapid acting insulin analogue or by an automated closed-loop system using faster insulin aspart in random order. Subjects will receive appropriate training in the safe use of closed-loop insulin delivery system. Subjects will have regular contact with the study team during the home study phase including 24/7 telephone support. The primary outcome is time spent in target range between 3.9 and 10.0 mmol/L as recorded by CGM during home stay. Secondary outcomes are the HbA1c, time spent with glucose levels above and below target, as recorded by CGM, and other CGM based metrics.
Despite recent pharmacological and technological advantages, hypoglycemia remains to be the key limiting factor in achieving optimal glycemic control in people with type 1 diabetes. State-of-the-art treatment for type 1 diabetes is insulin in pens or pumps that focus on reducing hyperglycemia after relative insulin deficiency e.g. after food intake. In recent years, we focused on adding low-dose glucagon to insulin therapies for the treatment and prevention of hypoglycemia - referred to as "dual-hormone treatment". We have shown that low-dose glucagon is efficient in treating mild hypoglycemia and that several factors may affect its glucose response. Our next step is to test whether the combined delivery of insulin and glucagon can improve glucose control in individuals with type 1 diabetes. In this proposal, we want to test the efficacy, safety and feasibility of a dual-hormone closed-loop system, also known as an artificial pancreas. The closed-loop system involves automatic infusion of glucagon and insulin based on continuous glucose measurements. The system will be tested in a 33-hour in-clinic study comparing the glucose control by the combined automatic delivery of insulin and glucagon with the automatic delivery of insulin-only. The study is performed at Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen (SDCC) in collaboration with the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). We expect that the study will clarify whether low-dose glucagon added to insulin therapy can improve the glucose control in adults with type 1 diabetes. We believe that the utilization of glucagon will allow for a weight neutral optimization of glucose control, reduce risk of hypoglycemia and reduce disease burden that will reduce diabetes complications and cardiovascular diseases.
The purpose of this study is to 1) convene African American and Latino Community Coalitions to adapt Family Teamwork (FT) for school-age youth, and integrate FT with the Smart and Secure Children (SSC) program community-based, peer delivery format, 2) identify facilitators and barriers to parental involvement in diabetes management for African American and Latino parents of children (5-9 years) with T1D to refine, with Community Coalitions the adapted and integrated Family Teamwork- Peer Delivery (FT-P), and 3) evaluate the feasibility, satisfaction, and preliminary outcomes of the FT-P program among African American and Latino parents of school-aged children (5-9 years) withT1D. A randomized pilot trials will be conducted with African American and Latino families to examine the feasibility, parent satisfaction, and preliminary outcomes of FT-P. Families will be stratified by race/ethnicity, age, and HbA1c strata, and randomized to FT-P plus standard diabetes care or to standard diabetes care alone after completion of baseline assessment using a random numbers table generated by a program created through Baylor College of Medicine's Institute for Clinical Training and Research data management specialists.
Observational study of patients at Boston Childrens Hospital with type 1 diabetes (T1D) who elected to treat their diabetes with the Medtronic 670 G hybrid closed loop insulin pump.
Postprandial glycemic excursions are major determinants of overall glycemic control in type 1 diabetes. Carbohydrate content of ingested meals is the main determinant of post-meal glucose excursion. Accurate carbohydrate counting is a critical aspect of managing postprandial blood glucose levels. accurate carbohydrate counting is considered by patients as a significant burden and frustrating task. The closed-loop system (CLS) is composed of three components: glucose sensor to read glucose levels, insulin pump to infuse insulin and a dosing mathematical algorithm to decide on the required insulin dosages based on the sensor's readings. The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of two strategies to regulate glucose levels in outpatient settings in adults with type 1 diabetes: 1) single-hormone CLS with rapid acting insulin analogue combined with carbohydrate counting; 2) single-hormone CLS with rapid acting insulin analogue combined with simplified qualitative meal-size estimation. A sub-study will also be proposed to participants. Postprandial exercise combines two situations complicating CLS operation: a high plasma insulin due to insulin on-board related to meal boluses and rapid blood glucose changes (postprandial blood glucose excursion and then drop during exercise) making input from the glucose sensor less accurate. The objective of this sub-study will be to explore the safety and efficacy of the CLS using the combined strategy of pre-meal exercise announcement and meal bolus reduction of 33% when exercise is performed 1 hour compared to 2 hours post meal time.
