Filter by:The overall aim of this study is to confirm the utility of corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) as a new technique to rapidly and non-invasively assess diabetic neuropathy (DN) in children. This study will be divided into two phases: Phase 1 will be a cross-sectional study of children with type 1 diabetes and normal controls, while phase 2 will be a longitudinal assessment of a subgroup of children with type 1 diabetes recruited during Phase 1.
Hypothesis: To address the role of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)on nocturnal glycemia in patients having type 1 diabetes and sleep apnea syndrome. Investigators make the hypothesis that sleep apnea syndrome impacts nocturnal glycemia in type 1 diabetic patients and that continuous positive airway pressure treatment will permit to improve the nocturnal glycemic profile. Study design: Adult patients with type 1 diabetes will be recruited for an extensive study of sleep habits and assessment of sleep breathing disorders. When patients will present with severe sleep apnea syndrome (apnea-hypopnea index above 30 events/hour) and insufficient glycemic control (HbA1c > 7.5%), they will be randomized in continuous positive airway pressure treatment or sham-continuous positive airway pressure treatment group for three months. Main outcome: Nocturnal glycemic control will be assessed for 5 days before and after three months of the allocated treatment.
Closed-loop strategy 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. A dual-hormone closed-loop strategy would regulate glucose levels through the infusion of two hormones: insulin and glucagon. The main objective of this project is to compare the efficacy of single-hormone and dual-hormone closed-loop strategy to regulate overnight glucose levels in a in-patient study in type 1 diabetes adults with hypoglycemia unawareness and documented nocturnal hypoglycemia. The investigators hypothesized that dual-hormone closed-loop strategy is more effective in regulating overnight glucose levels compared to single-hormone closed-loop strategy.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Medtronic hybrid closed-loop (HCL) system utilizing the proportional-integral-derivative algorithm with insulin feedback (PID-IFB) optimized to function in a hybrid mode with closed-loop control operating during the day and night.
FL3X is an integrated diabetes self-management system that incorporates modern cell phone technology with behavioral modification approaches to improve diabetes self-management in high-risk youth. Utilizing such approaches will increase adherence to diabetes management behaviors and improve glucose control by providing increased autonomy over diabetes care.
Patients receive a standardized high-protein test meal at breakfast time. Insulin is given as bolus (normal or dual-wave (normal plus square) and basal rate using an insulin pump. The 3h post-meal glucose excursions will be recorded by self-blood glucose measurements (SMBG) (every 1 hour) and continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS). The intervention is taking part under in-patient clinical conditions.
Compared family-based skills training (aka, Behavioral Family Systems Therapy) to youth with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes and their parents either face-to-face or over SkypeTM. Examined the differential impact on the youth's adherence to the diabetes medical regimen and the youth's blood sugar control.
Primary Objective: To compare exposure and activity of SAR342434 to US-approved and EU-approved Humalog®. Secondary Objective: To assess the safety and tolerability of SAR342434.
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is the most common severe autoimmune disease worldwide and is caused by the body's immune destruction of its own insulin producing pancreatic beta cells leading to insulin deficiency and development of elevated blood sugars. Currently, medical management of T1D focuses on intensive insulin replacement therapy to limit complications (retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy); nevertheless clinical outcomes remain suboptimal. There are intensive efforts to design novel immunotherapies that can arrest the autoimmune process and thereby preserve residual insulin production leading to fewer complications and better clinical outcomes. Genetics are in part the cause of T1D and the majority of genes contributing to T1D produce proteins involved in immune regulation (called "tolerance"). A key player in immune tolerance is a molecule called interleukin-2 (IL-2) which enhances the ability of cells called T regulatory (Treg) cells to suppress the destruction the insulin producing beta cells. Aldesleukin is a human recombinant IL-2 product produced by recombinant DNA technology using a genetically engineered E. coli strain expressing an analogue of the human IL-2 gene. There is substantial data to suggest that ultra-low doses (ULD) of IL-2 (aldesleukin) can arrest the autoimmune mediated destruction of pancreatic beta cells by the induction of functional Treg cells. The former study "Adaptive study of IL-2 dose on regulatory T cells in type 1 diabetes" (DILT1D) (NCT 01827735) was a single dose mechanistic study designed to establish the doses of IL-2 (aldesleukin) required to induce a minimal Treg increase (0.1 fold from baseline) or to induce a slightly larger Treg increase (0.2 fold from baseline) (maximal increase). Following on from the DILT1D study, the goal of the DILfrequency study is to use an adaptive design to determine the optimal dose and frequency of ULD IL-2 (aldesleukin) to maximize Treg function by frequently injecting ultra-low doses of IL-2 (aldesleukin). The responsiveness of each T1D participant to a particular frequency of IL-2 (aldesleukin) administration informs the frequency of dosing given to the next patient. This strategy focuses on improving the function of regulatory T cells that are exquisitely sensitive to IL-2 (aldesleukin).
Glycaemic control is an important aspect of Type 1 diabetes (T1D) management for diabetologists and patients alike. Evidence suggests continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) is an effective method of achieving this. Among the advantages of CSII is the opportunity for patients to potentially discard relatively inflexible mealtimes and carbohydrate requirements imposed by other regimes such as multiple daily injections (MDI). There are also reported improvements in quality of life. Furthermore, in patients with good glycaemic control, such as those often assisted by CSII, various qualitative atherogenic lipid abnormalities may exist, despite the presence of a normal quantitative lipid profile; potentially leading to increased cardiometabolic risks. Literature examining the eating behaviours, quality of life and cardiometabolic risks of CSII patients over time after commencement of the therapy is sparse, frequently dated and worthy of further research.
