Filter by:This study will test the hypothesis that a wearable automated bionic pancreas system that automatically delivers both insulin and glucagon can improved glycemic control vs. usual in the outpatient environment.
The investigators are doing this research study to find out if the type of needle used to administer them affects the speed with which insulin and glucagon get into the blood. The investigators will compare a traditional insulin needle to an injection device, called the MicronJet, that uses microneedles to deliver medication into the top layer of your skin.
This project will assess the independent predictors of impaired muscle and bone strength through a longitudinal observation of a cohort of subjects with type 1 and 2 diabetes consecutively attending an outpatients diabetes clinics for the annual screening of complications.
Type 1 diabetes results from the autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells of the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas. Initially, diabetes is usually clinically silent with immune cells invading the pancreatic islets, a process termed insulitis, which eventually leads to loss of beta cells in the islets. If enough beta cells are destroyed, the body can not make enough insulin to maintain blood sugars in the normal range and clinical diabetes develops. The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of magnetic resonance imaging with ferumoxytol to detect changes in the pancreas associated with the insulitis of type 1 diabetes.
The purpose of the study is to prospectively evaluate a noninvasive, near-infrared based method for measuring glucose concentration relative to invasive blood reference measurements. The initial phase of the study will be focused on procurement of the data needed to develop a robust, accurate calibration. The second phase will be focused on performance evaluation of the system.
The purpose of this study is to assess the glycemic response to cycling road races (using continuous glucose monitoring ) in elite athletes with type 1 diabetes and non-diabetic controls. The investigators will also assess the relationship between power/work during cycling (using a power meter) and the subject's glucose profile.
The major goals of this project are to determine whether primary intervention through delayed introduction of dietary gluten is feasible and could reduce the incidence of islet autoimmunity in high-risk first degree relatives of patients with type 1 diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is still associated with tremendous morbidity and premature mortality. Patients require multiple daily insulin injections throughout their lives as well as close monitoring of their diet and blood sugar levels to prevent complications. Unfortunately, there is presently no permanent cure for diabetes. Whole pancreas or islet cell transplantation is available only to a very limited number of patients and necessitates potential lifelong immunosuppressive therapy. Autologous stem cell transplants have been used successfully for ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia), AML (acute myeloblastic leukemia) and for the treatment of a variety of cancers including breast cancer and neuroblastomas, and more recently for the treatment of autoimmune disorders such as multiple sclerosis (MS), lupus-like disease, and rheumatic disorders. Recently it was shown that bone marrow-derived stems cells transplanted into diabetic mice led to reduced hyperglycemia within 7 days after transplantation and was sustained until they were sacrificed at 35 days post-transplantation. The investigators' goal is to transfuse autologous umbilical cord blood into 23 children (Germany 10 and 20 Controls) with T1D in an attempt to regenerate pancreatic islet insulin producing beta cells and improve blood glucose control. As secondary goals, the investigators aim to track the migration of transfused cord blood stem and study the potential changes in metabolism/immune function leading to islet regeneration.
The primary objective of this trial is to assess whether functional insulinotherapy decreases blood glucose variability at 3 months and 6 months, compared to initial values in type 1 diabetes patients. So, this study measures the impact of functional insulinotherapy on several blood glucose variability indicators in patients with type 1 diabetes. This trial also has a secondary objective: to measure the effect of functional insulinotherapy on oxidative stress and inflammation.
The purpose of this study is to find out if very tight blood glucose control from the onset of Type 1 Diabetes can preserve beta cell function. Study subjects will be randomly assigned to receive either standard diabetes management or intensive diabetes management, which involves several days of closed loop therapy followed by home use of a continuous glucose monitor and insulin pump.
