Filter by:Advanced glucose monitoring systems have revolutionized diabetes care and enabled people with diabetes to achieve better diabetes control with reduced risk of hypoglycaemia. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems provide real-time glucose monitoring and alarms when glucose approaches extreme readings (hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia) or when the change in glucose is rapid. All available CGM systems, except Dexcom G6, require daily calibrations with capillary glucose readings in order to attain accuracy of glucose readings. Decom G6 system is not widely accessible and only available in certain countries. Flash glucose monitoring systems (Flash) provide glucose readings when users actively scan their sensors. FreeStyle Libre (FSL) is the only Flash glucose monitoring system currently available in market. FSL is factory calibrated and sensors are ready to use after placement and initiation. The two main differences between Flash and CGM are user interaction and the alarm facility. While CGM provide real-time glucose readings, Flash is user-dependent for actively scanning and understanding the readings. Moreover, CGM systems provide alarms for low or high glucose and for rapid glucose changes, while Flash does not routinely provide alarms. This is particularly relevant when patients have impaired or lost hypoglycaemia awareness. CGM systems are costlier compared to Flash, which has contributed to the wider adoption of FSL. Several Bluetooth adjuncts have been introduced to market for FSL. These devices attach to Libre sensor and connect to the user's mobile phone via Bluetooth. This enables continuous and real-time feed of glucose readings from the sensor to patient's mobile phone, which enables a wide range of customizable alarms for high and low glucose levels and for rapid glucose changes. This setup also enables calibration of Libre sensor with capillary glucose which, anecdotally, has been reported to improve sensor accuracy. None of these adjuncts have been validated clinically. FSL with Bluetooth adjunct such as MiaoMiao remain cheaper than current CGM options and could be more accessible in some countries than CGM. However, without robust evidence to support effectiveness and safety of such setup it is not possible to recommend this. The Objective of this study is to determine whether FSL with Bluetooth Adjunct is superior to FSL alone in accuracy and reduction of hypoglycaemia burden.
BOL-DP-o-05 as an Add-On Treatment for Preservation of Beta-Cell Function in Subjects With Newly-Diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM)
Approximately 80 patients will be enrolled in the study from China and randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of the 2 treatment arms:diabetes diet+highland barley diet; or diabetes diet. Study treatment will continue for 12 weeks. The primary efficacy measure is the change in MAGE from continuous glucose monitoring system at 12 weeks. The study consists of 3 periods: a 1-week screening (period A), a 8-day run-in period (period B) and a 12-week treatment period (period C). Continuous glucose monitoring system will be used in baseline and endpoint.
A study is to see if methyldopa can change the immune system's attack on insulin producing cells in people at early stages of type 1 diabetes.
