Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether the immune response causing celiac disease is related to the autoimmune response causing type-1 diabetes.
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 system would regulate glucose levels through the infusion of two hormones: insulin and glucagon. The objective is to compare the efficacy of single-hormone closed-loop strategy and dual-hormone closed-loop strategy at regulating glucose levels during continuous exercise and interval exercise. The investigator hypothesized that dual-hormone closed-loop strategy is superior to single-hormone closed-loop strategy in regulating glucose levels during exercise periods.

A dual-hormone closed-loop system would regulate glucose levels through the infusion of two hormones: insulin and glucagon. The objective of this project is to assess whether a dual-hormone closed-loop strategy would alleviate the burden of carbohydrate counting from patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) without a significant degradation in post-meal glucose control. Our primary hypothesis is that meal-announcement strategy (pre-meal CHO-independent bolus) is equivalent to meal-and-carbohydrate-announcement strategy (full CHO-matching bolus) during closed-loop regulation of glucose levels in adults with T1D. Our secondary hypothesis is that closed-loop strategy with meal-announcement strategy (pre-meal CHO-independent bolus) or meal-and-carbohydrate-announcement strategy (full CHO-matching bolus) is better than conventional pump treatment in regulation of glucose levels in adults with T1D.
A small, pilot, randomised, cross over trial that investigates the potential for DPPIVi therapy to reduce insulin requirements in type 1 diabetes was studied. We investigated whether this drug reduces daily insulin doses, leads to weight reduction, reduces blood glucose fluctuation and improves glucose control. Through reduction of blood glucose variability, we want investigated, whether it has the capability of improving the magnitude of epinephrine responses at 2.5mmol/L by performing a hyperinsulinaemic, hypoglycaemia clamp study after each arm. A successful outcome would then lead to an application for funds for a larger, multicentre intervention study. The benefits of this therapeutic advance are clear and this has the potential to make a dramatic improvement to the lives of people with type 1 diabetes in our community.
This study will be conducted in a Clinical Research Center (CRC) setting and recruiting type 1 diabetes that are currently using an insulin pump.
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 system would regulate glucose levels through the infusion of two hormone: insulin and glucagon. The main objective of this project is to compare the efficacy of single-hormone closed-loop strategy, dual-hormone closed-loop strategy and pump therapy to regulate overnight glucose levels in a out-patient study in adults and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. The investigators hypothesized that dual-hormone closed-loop strategy is more effective in regulating overnight glucose levels in adults and adolescents with type 1 diabetes compared to single-hormone closed-loop strategy, which in turn is more effective than the conventional pump therapy.
The MDLAP (MD-Logic Artificial Pancreas)system is as an automatic system to regulate glucose levels by delivery of insulin operable in clinical trial settings. The safety of the system was proved in previous inpatient and outpatient trials in large number of patients. In the current study we aim to optimize post-prandial closed-loop glycemic control by developing an automated MD-bolus calculator and to evaluate its safety and efficacy in controlling postprandial blood glucose when used together with the MD-Logic artificial pancreas system in type 1 diabetes patients. The study will consist of a pilot study with two segments and a main study segment. The aim of each segment is detailed below: 1. Pilot Study - Segment 1 - Hybrid meal bolus ratio The aim of this segment is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of different pre-meal bolus dosing compared to full closed-loop operation with no meal announcement. 2. Pilot Study - Segment 2 - Insulin dosing during meal In this segment we would like to test the optimal distribution of insulin delivery during the meal. 3. Main study - Segment 3 - Automatic bolus calculator In this main segment of the study we will use the results and conclusions from the previous two pilot segments to develop the MD-Bolus Calculator for closed-loop control use. The safety and efficacy of this automated insulin bolus calculator will be tested in a randomized cross-over study that will compare postprandial glycemic control under MDLAP with and without the use of the MD-Bolus Calculator.
The purpose of this 18-month randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to find out if (1) a set of psychoeducational materials for teens with type 1 diabetes and (2) text message reminders to check blood glucose levels can help improve blood glucose levels in teens with type 1 diabetes.
The purpose of the study is to assess the relevance of the advices provided by the IPRA© smartphone application for guiding the responses of insulin pump treated type 1 diabetes patients using real-time continuous glucose monitoring.
The objective of the proposed research is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the use of metformin in addition to standard insulin therapy in overweight and obese children and adolescents, age 12-<20 years, with type 1 diabetes for at least 1 year. Secondary objectives are to assess the effect of metformin on C-peptide levels, a measure of how much insulin is still being produced by the beta cells of the pancreas, and on vascular dysfunction. In addition, an ancillary study is planned to assess if metformin will improve tissue-specific insulin resistance in type 1 diabetes using a hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp.
