Filter by:The investigators hypothesise that reducing rapid-acting insulin dose after exercise will help prevent Type 1 diabetes individuals experiencing hypoglycaemia.
This study is a pilot behavioral intervention trial, designed to initially examine cognitive behavioral therapy for medical adherence and depression (CBT-AD) in patients with depression and poorly controlled type 1 diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of using FreeStyle InsuLinx (a blood glucose meter with a built-in insulin calculator) on glucose control in people with 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 dosage 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 main goal 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. Each patient will be admitted twice to a clinical research facility. In one visit, patients will eat a morning meal accompanied with a matching insulin bolus (depending on the carbohydrate content of the meal) and glucose levels will be subsequently regulated using dual-hormone closed-loop system. In the other visit, patients will eat the same meal but will inject only a partial insulin bolus (not depending on carbohydrate content of the meal) and the remaining needed insulin will be delivered based on glucose sensor excursions as part of closed-loop operation. If post-meal glucose levels were indifferent between the two visits, then this would suggest that carbohydrate counting may not be necessary during closed-loop operation as the closed-loop system will give any remaining insulin needed to cover the glucose absorbed from the meal. Twelve subjects will be enrolled in this study.
Hypothesis: Parents who receive Parent Education Thru Simulation-Diabetes (PETS-D) will have significantly higher diabetes knowledge (cognitive visual schemata), better technical and problem-solving competence and confidence, and lower fear and stress/anxiety levels; and provide better diabetes management at 14 weeks compared to those parents receiving standard diabetes education.
The purpose of the study is to investigate how people with type 1 diabetes experience and manage their diabetes, eating, and weight. Summary of the Study: If you choose to participate, you will complete a set of questionnaires and a structured interview. You will then wear a continuous glucose monitor and use your cell phone to answer study questions for a period of 3 days. The questions come in the form of regular phone calls between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Each call takes only a minute or two to complete. You will also be asked to call in and answer study questions at other times during the day, especially after eating. The study involves a minimum of 2 clinic visits to Duke. Participants who live greater than 1.5 hours from Duke can be approved to take part in the study by phone/Skype. Participants will receive and return study materials through the mail.
Functional Insulin Therapy (FIT) is an heath care method proposed to type 1 diabetic patients which focuses on patient autonomy, carbs counting and insulin dose adaptation. The hypothesis is that FIT should lead to better glycemic control (HbA1c), less hypoglycemia and better quality of life. 60 patient will be enrolled and followed during one year.
The investigators have developed a unique Remote & Safety diabetes management system (MDRS) that offers real-time remote monitoring and control of glucose levels. The system allows the supervising personal to alarm the patient and intervene in cases such as pending hypoglycemia, long standing hyperglycemia or technical faults.The aim of this feasibility study is to evaluate the efficacy of the MDRS system in preventing nocturnal hypoglycemia in children and young adults with type 1 diabetes.
Diabetes(both types) are recognized by high levels of glucagon in the circulation. Glucagon is known to increase blood glucose, and might therefore contribute to the respective diseases. Under some circumstances the gut hormone GLP-1 inhibits the glucagon secretion. The investigators aim to identify the impact of GLP-1 on the glucagon secretion, at increasing blood glucose levels in healthy subjects, in patients with type 2 diabetes, and in patients with type 1 diabetes. The investigators think that the effect of GLP-1 on the glucagon secretion might be dependent of blood glucose levels.
Introduction: The purpose of the pivotal In Home study is to collect clinical data on the safety and efficacy of the Paradigm LGS System in the actual use environment and by the intended use population. ASPIRE is a multi-center, in home, randomized parallel adaptive study design with type 1 diabetes. The study will compare A1C and CGM based nocturnal hypoglycemic events in a treatment arm to a control arm. Arms are defined as: - Treatment Arm (LGS ON) using Paradigm® VEO™ Pump - Control Arm (NO LGS FEATURE ) using Paradigm® Revel™2.0 Pump The study's objectives are two-fold: 1. The first study objective is to demonstrate that home use of Low Glucose Suspend (LGS) is safe and is not associated with glycemic deterioration, as measured by change in A1C from baseline to end of study participation. 2. The second study objective is to demonstrate that home use of Low Glucose Suspend (LGS) is associated with reduction in nocturnal hypoglycemia when patients fail to respond. Primary Safety Endpoint: The change in A1C from randomization to the end of the treatment period will be used to demonstrate that the automatic insulin delivery suspension (LGS ON) does not result in an unacceptable worsening of glycemic control.
