Filter by:The inclusion of "Timing of premeal insulin administration (Timing)" in an Intensive Insulin Therapy regimen will reduce A1C by an average of 1% in type 1 diabetic patients who have initial A1C's between 7.0% and 9.0%.
This is a phase I study to assess the safety and tolerability of infusing expanded stem cells into the pancreas of patients with type I diabetes and a successful renal transplant. The stem cells used in this study occur naturally in the body and are collected from each recipient by a procedure called leukapheresis. The cells are then expanded and differentiated into insulin-like cells in a sterile suite before being injected into the body or tail of the pancreas of the recipient.
The long-range goal of this project is to determine the effects of diabetes and the hypoglycemic consequences of intensive therapy on in vivo brain glucose metabolism in humans. We will measure brain glycogen turnover and content in normal controls and subjects with diabetes under conditions of modest hyper-and hypoglycemia.
This study is aimed at determining if the drug Atomoxetine (Strattera-used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD) has effects on the body's ability to defend itself against low blood sugar.
The investigators hypothesize that PET scans will be able to differentiate between normal, reduced or increased BCM in human subjects. Subjects with normal BCM will be recruited from among normal weight nondiabetic people with plasma insulin levels within the normal range. Subjects with predicted reduced BCM will be recruited from among patients with T1DM who have with low or not measurable insulin levels. If results from the nondiabetic subjects and the subjects with T1DM are found to differ significantly, subjects with increased BCM will be recruited from among patients with hyperinsulinemia including those with obesity and the metabolic syndrome. PET scan measurements of the pancreas will be obtained and compared in people predicted, on the basis of biochemical testing, to have normal or reduced, or increased BCM.
We aim to study if the administration of medications to increase the secretion of hormones from the intestines can improve glycemic control, reduce insulin use and promote β-cell regeneration/expansion in subjects with type 1 diabetes following islet transplantation who are back using small doses of insulin because of early graft dysfunction. We believe that the results will enable us to understand whether these drugs could be useful in islet transplant recipients, particularly if glycemic control deteriorates.
It has been found that in some cases, when a person with Diabetes Mellitus has an episode of low blood sugar,or hypoglycemia, and then later exercises, he or she is vulnerable to another bout of hypoglycemia during that exercise. The purpose of this study is to determine what factors during the previous bout of hypoglycemia might cause another bout of hypoglycemia while exercising later.
The main purpose of the trial is to evaluate pulmonary function in subjects who had completed any one of the 4 MKC parent trials (MKC-TI-009, MKC-TI-102, MKC-TI-103, or MKC-TI-030) for an additional 2-month safety follow-up.
Study hypothesis: Waking up in response to an alarm clock may evoke a stress reaction that leads to rising glucose concentrations. The purpose of this study was to prove this hypothesis with continuous glucose monitoring over three nights. Night (a) with an alarm clock set at 2 h intervals for glucose self monitoring, Night (b) with a nurse performing blood glucose determinations, and Night (c) with the patients left undisturbed.
We hypothesize that quantitative measurements of the beta cell mass within the endocrine pancreas can be obtained by PET via targeting of vesicular monoamine type 2 transporters with the radioligand [11C]DTBZ. and that there will be significant differences in [11C]DTBZ uptake in the anatomical space of the pancreas between normal individuals and those with BCM predicted to be greater or less than normal based on the measurement of insulin secretion.
