Diabetes Paid Clinical Trials in California

The objective of the Gestational Diabetes Genetic Socioeconomic Risk Study is to generate genome wide association study data (GWAS) to calculate polygenic risk scores (PRS) for the development of gestational diabetes in pregnant women. Oshun Medical's GWAS study will be conducted by collecting DNA samples alongside medical and socioeconomic data and applying data science methodology to generate a polygenic risk score algorithm for gestational diabetes. Our hypothesis is that key genetic variants linked to gestational diabetes will be identified, and sociodemographic characteristics may impact epigenetic factors which further contribute to this risk of gestational diabetes. The PRS generated through our study will be combined with an analysis of epigenetic factors to produce a new method for predicting risk of developing gestational diabetes during pregnancy. Read Less

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is an emerging field for diabetes management. CGMs are small devices primarily placed on a patient's upper arm that allow providers and patients to individualize therapy by looking at real time glucose levels. While the accuracy of these devices is extensively researched, there are no large-scale studies evaluating the differences between left and right arm glucose readings in the diabetic population. Additionally cinnamon and aloe vera are supplements commonly used by diabetic patients to help improve glycemic control. However, there remains a shortage of studies researching the effects of cinnamon and aloe vera on diabetic patients' glycemic control. The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference between glucose levels in the right arm and left arm in diabetic patients and to evaluate if cinnamon and aloe vera supplements impact glycemic control in diabetic patients.
