Filter by:Vaccines for COVID-19 are an essential part of combating the coronavirus pandemic. Vaccines "prime" the immune system against an invader (in this case the SARS-CoV-2 virus) by causing a temporary increased immune or inflammatory response. Inflammation can temporarily increase sugar levels and/or insulin requirements among patients with diabetes. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the "booster" COVID-19 vaccine dose causes temporarily increased sugar levels and/or insulin dose requirements among patients with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a lifelong disease which stops the body from producing insulin - an important hormone that controls blood sugar (glucose) levels. People with T1D use insulin replacement therapy, usually in the form of injections, to help control blood glucose levels, however keeping glucose levels within normal ranges is usually a challenge. Mealtime glucose control is fundamental to good diabetes management and are an important contributor to long-term diabetes complications. However, many individuals experience variability in glucose levels around mealtimes. The objective of this study is to establish whether and which parameters are important predictors of mealtime glucose levels in people with T1D. The investigators will monitor glucose levels using the latest glucose monitoring technology and collect blood samples to: 1. Characterise changes in glucose levels in individuals with T1D in response to different meals 2. Determine whether and what food characteristics and personal factors are linked to individual glucose responses to different meals. The investigators will recruit 150 individuals with type 1 diabetes. Firstly participants will attend a preliminary visit, where a blood sample will be donated to study laboratory blood markers of vascular and metabolic health accompanied by a full medical examination in which body composition will be established. During this visit participants will also complete questionnaires about their lifestyle, and be fitted with two wearable devices to monitor glucose levels and physical activity levels under free-living conditions. After 4-weeks of wearing the devices, participants will attend two experimental laboratory visits where breakfast and lunch will be served and blood samples taken. This will enable us to observe glucose and metabolic responses to feeding under controlled conditions.
In this study, we will determine the feasibility of an innovative care model for young adults with diabetes and compare the primary and secondary outcomes in the innovative model to those in the usual care model for adult diabetes management at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Diabetes Center.
This global study (US, Canada, and Australia) will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the MiniMed 780G system in type 1 adult and pediatric subjects utilizing Fiasp (insulin aspart injection) in a home setting.

Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is a chronic autoimmune disease, with a genetic background, resulting from the immune-mediated destruction of beta cells of the pancreas. It can lead to fatal short-term and long-term complications, especially if it is diagnosed late. Three stages of the disease can be identified: Stage 1 is defined by the presence of two or more anti-islet autoantibodies (GAD65, ICA, IA-2, ZnT8) with normoglycemia, Stage 2 shows progression to dysglycemia (impaired glucose tolerance) in the setting of two or more anti-islet autoantibodies, Stage 3 occurs when a patient meets ADA criteria for the diagnosis of diabetes. It's been demonstrated that Teplizumab (an Fc receptor nonbinding anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody) delays the transition from pre-symptomatic T1D (stage 2) to overt T1D (stage 3). Also Sitagliptin, a DPP4 inhibitor, has been proved effective in inhibiting inflammation in T1D both in vitro in T1D mice, and in vivo in Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) patients. Furthermore, it has been confirmed that Sitagliptin reduces the prevalence of worse forms of acute GVHD after myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation. The study aims to investigate if Sitagliptin can have a delaying effect on progression to overt T1D, on the account of its anti-inflammatory properties. The cohort is made of screened relatives of T1D patients, who are classified as high-risk of developing T1D. Screening relatives of T1D patients for dysglycemia and anti-islet autoantibodies. Selecting the patients in Stage 2 Pre-symptomatic T1D (dysglycemia and at least two types of autoantibodies) and then beginning therapy with Sitagliptin, while monitoring their glucose metabolism with a Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) system.
The objective of this study is to test the early effects and implementation of an enhanced community health worker (CHW) model (T1D-CATCH) that encourages and supports diabetes technology use in young adults from underrepresented minority groups (YA-URMs) with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The investigators will conduct a 9-month randomized controlled trial in which YA-URMs will be randomized to T1D-CATCH or usual care. The investigators will recruit from adult and pediatric endocrinology and primary care practices in a large safety-net health system in the Bronx, New York. Our specific aims are to 1) evaluate T1D-CATCH effects on technology initiation and continued use over 6 months and 2) evaluate T1D-CATCH implementation using Proctor's Taxonomy of Implementation Outcomes: feasibility, adoption, fidelity, and cost.
A closed-loop insulin system, also referred to as the "artificial pancreas" (AP), is made up of an insulin pump, a continuous glucose monitor, and an application communicating between the two to adjust insulin administration based on glucose control. This is meant for the treatment of type 1 diabetes. The McGill Artificial Pancreas (MAP) has been used previously in type 1 diabetes with significant benefits. Though prior studies have shown significant benefit with this system, some challenges still exist. Semaglutide is used in type 2 diabetes and obesity; it is a once-weekly injectable medication that increases levels of a gut hormone called Glucagon-Like Peptide-1, which modifies gastric emptying, suppresses glucagon, and suppresses appetite. Though its use is not approved in type 1 diabetes in North America, it (along with similar drugs) has been used in studies as adjunctive therapy with insulin with benefits on blood sugar control. Similar medications have been used in type 1 diabetes (such as liraglutide and exenatide), but are not as strong in glucose effect even in type 2 diabetes as compared with semaglutide. The purpose of our study is to see if semaglutide administered weekly at the maximum tolerated dose in those with type 1 diabetes will have improved glucose control (as per time in target range from continuous glucose monitoring data) compared to placebo, while using a closed-loop insulin system.
