Filter by:The DreaMed Advisor Pro is a software which automatically analyses treatment information, learns patient's needs and accordingly suggests adjustments in insulin dosing. The DreaMed Advisor Pro uses information gathered from glucose monitoring (sensor readings or capillary blood glucose measurements), insulin dosing and meal data during daily routine home care. Following a 5-minute data collection and analysis, the algorithm learns and suggests pump-setting changes for optimization of glucose control The algorithm is designed as an advisory tool and has three main components: 1. A statistical analysis of the insulin pump and sensor data: insulin delivery, bolus-calculator rate of use, sensor glucose variables, hypoglycemic and hyperglycemia patterns. 2. Practical recommendations, alert messages based on aforementioned data 3. Recommendation for new insulin pump settings: including basal intervals and rate, different carbohydrate ratio according to time of day, correction factor and insulin sensitivity time. The main goal of the DreaMed Advisor Pro is to improve diabetes management for subjects with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) by using an innovative Advisor to determine insulin dosing for pump users. The main objective of the proposed study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of using the DreaMed Advisor Pro algorithm versus medical guided recommendation to determine insulin dosing for sub-optimal controlled subjects with type 1 diabetes using pump therapy.
The objective of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of home use of a Control-to-Range (CTR) closed-loop (CL) system.
Primary Objective: To demonstrate bioequivalence between insulin glulisine given as 300 Units/mL test formulation and insulin glulisine 100 Units/mL reference formulation after a single subcutaneous (SC) dose. Secondary Objectives: - To assess the pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles and further pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics of insulin glulisine U300 in comparison to insulin glulisine U100 after a single SC dose. - To assess safety and tolerability of the test and the reference formulation of insulin glulisine.
The pancreas is an organ that plays major roles in the digestion of food. A part of the pancreas called islet beta-cells produces insulin, which regulates the amount of glucose (a sugar) present in the blood at all times. Type-1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM), an autoimmune disorder characterized by destruction of pancreatic islet beta-cells (the cells that produce insulin), affects at least a million individuals in the US alone. In T1DM, a type of white blood cells called T lymphocytes attacks and destroys the pancreatic islet beta-cells, leading to a loss of insulin, an increase in blood glucose, and a dependence on insulin injections for survival. Despite rigorous control of blood sugar, the majority of diabetic patients develop serious complications including retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, microangiopathy and strokes. Non-invasive methods to monitor pancreatic beta-cell loss associated with type-1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) could improve early diagnosis, provide tools to measure responsiveness to new therapies, and evaluate the efficiency of pancreatic transplantation and graft survival. Our goal is to develop a non-invasive PET-CT imaging method based on binding of a molecule (18F-fallypride) for tracking beta-cell loss during the progression of T1DM. In preliminary studies we demonstrated specific binding of 18F-fallypride to D2 receptors in rat pancreatic sections and we demonstrated that the loss of pancreatic beta cells in streptozotocin-treated rats was associated with a corresponding decrease in 18F-fallypride binding to pancreatic sections. A preliminary 18F-fallypride PET-CT study done by a collaborator in Ohio on a healthy volunteer, revealed 18F-fallypride-uptake by the pancreas that was distinguishable from surrounding tissues. Aim-1 of our project will measure the variability of 18F-fallypride PET-scanning of the pancreas in six healthy volunteers scanned twice with an interval of 4-6 weeks. In Aim-2 of our project, we will compare fallypride PET-CT scans of 12 patients with long-standing T1DM (nearly all beta cells destroyed) with 12 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers. If we are able to distinguish between the two groups, we will in future (a) optimize the method so as to be able to detect a 20-30% loss of beta cells, and (b) perform PET-CT studies in new-onset T1DM patients and in at-risk first degree relatives of T1DM patients.
