NCT02181127
This study will test the hypothesis that a wearable automated bionic pancreas system that automatically delivers glucagon only can prevent or treat hypoglycemia vs. usual care for people with type 1 diabetes \> 21 years old.
NCT01698528
The purpose of this study is to determine if using a diabetes management technology system, including a tablet computer, to track diabetes care and communicate with a clinician coach (a doctor or nurse from the Joslin Clinic) makes starting and adjusting insulin easier and safer for people with type 2 diabetes. Hypothesis: The use of a diabetes management technology system with a clinician coach helps more individuals starting basal insulin achieve better glycemic control with less hypoglycemia compared with standard clinical practice at Joslin Diabetes Center.
NCT00153179
This study will test the hypothesis that reduction in release of free fatty acids from adipocytes will restore insulin-mediated endothelium-dependent vasodilation and skeletal muscle glucose metabolism in subject with type 2 diabetes.
NCT01421225
The investigators are conducting this study to find out whether a new device can control blood sugar levels in children who have Type 1 diabetes. In Type 1 diabetes, children have high blood sugar levels because they do not make enough insulin. The standard treatment is to give insulin either by shots or using an insulin pump. A new device, called closed-loop insulin therapy, uses a continuous glucose monitor (CGMs) linked to an insulin pump by a computer. The CGM will send the sugar levels to a computer which automatically figures out how much insulin to give and then gives that amount of insulin through the insulin pump. It will give the child insulin to bring sugar levels down if they are high, and will give less insulin if the child's blood sugar is getting lower. Earlier research using closed-loop insulin therapy has shown the ability for it to improve diabetes care in adults and older children, but there has been no research of closed-loop insulin therapy in young children. This study will compare children's current insulin therapy with the closed-loop system. The knowledge that the investigators gain from this research will help us to figure out whether closed-loop therapy can work in young children, hopefully leading to better Type 1 diabetes care.
