Diabetes Clinical Trials in Atlanta, GA

The goal of this study is to determine the extent to which excess dietary sugars serve as a precipitating factor in glucose intolerance in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF), a population at especially high risk for a unique form of diabetes (CF-related diabetes, CFRD) and with standard-of-care dietary recommendations (high-calorie, high-fat) that conflict with recommendations for other forms of diabetes. This trial will investigate if the typical high-sugar, high-fat CF diet plays a role in diabetes risk and visceral fat accumulation in people with CF. A total of 30 participants will get a low-added sugar, high-fat diet and the other 30 will get a standard CF diet with no sugar restrictions. Participants will be randomized to the diet group they are assigned. All foods will be provided for 8 weeks. Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness of using a freeze-dried wild blueberry powder on cardiometabolic health, cognitive function, and gut microbiota composition in adult women with prediabetes. Read Less

Diabetes distress has been identified as one of the largest contributors to the racial disparity in glycemic control that disproportionately burdens Black patients ages 18-30 years with type 1 diabetes (T1D). In order to combat this issue, this study assesses the feasibility of the culturally tailored intervention T1DES and evaluates the effect of the T1DES intervention on diabetes outcomes in a pilot randomized clinical trial among Black young adults with T1D.

The overall objective of this 13-month randomized crossover study is to seek evidence demonstrating that daily consumption of peanuts and peanut products improve cardiometabolic, cognitive, and intestinal health in a racially diverse prediabetes population. Read Less

The goals of this study are to: 1. Co-develop a user-friendly word game-based workbook format for patients with diabetes to understand how to manage their diabetes. For this study, the first section of the workbook will be developed to teach carbohydrate management. 2. Assess the feasibility and acceptability of the workbook. 3. Understand the implementation challenges that will be important for improving the workbook and preparing it for larger-scale effectiveness research. Participants will be asked to: * Complete the workbook during their waiting time in the clinic or at home. * Engage in word games designed to teach diabetes management vocabulary and concepts. * Attend follow-up sessions to assess changes in self-efficacy and glycemic control.

This randomized controlled trial will test the efficacy and safety of automated insulin delivery (AID) in hospitalized patients with diabetes (type 1 or type 2) requiring insulin therapy who are admitted to general medical/surgical floors. The main objectives of this study are: * To test the efficacy and safety of AID versus multiple daily insulin injections (MDI) + CGM in the inpatient setting * To determine differences in CGM-derived metrics between AID and MDI plus CGM in the hospital and explore differences in treatment effect according to individual characteristics. Participants will be: * Randomized to AID + remote CGM (intervention) or multiple daily insulin injections (MDI) + CGM (control group) * Followed for a total of 10 days or until hospital discharge (if less than 10 days).

The goal of this study is to quantify day-to-day changes in blood glucose during treatment towards remission in ketosis-prone diabetes (KPDM) and describe them using a mathematical model of KPDM pathogenesis and remission. Read Less

This study aims to test the use of an adapted collaborative care model for improving the health outcomes of adults diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The duration of the study is 18 months with 4 study survey points. Participants will fill out an online survey regarding their psychosocial health and chronic disease management behaviors once every six months over the 18 months, and individuals who are randomly assigned to the study intervention will also consult at least once with a behavioral health consultant during the first year (active intervention period).

This randomized controlled clinical trial will assess whether continuation of home oral antidiabetic agents during hospitalization can be used as a safe and effective alternative to insulin therapy in the management of diabetes in the hospital. The primary outcome of the study is to determine differences in glycemic control as measured by mean daily blood glucose concentration between oral antidiabetic medications and basal bolus therapy in hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

The goal of this study is to see if directing insulin to the liver will improve the low blood sugar that sometimes happens when injecting insulin in Type 1 diabetes patients. Participants will use continuous glucose monitoring to measure the sugar levels in their blood, and work with the doctor to find the best doses. One group of patients will get the liver targeting insulin, and the other group will use insulin they normally use for treating Type 1 diabetes. The participant will be part of the study for up to 32 weeks. Read Less

A multi-center, placebo-controlled, double blind, 1:1:1 randomized control clinical trial testing two different JAK Inhibitors abrocitnib, ritlecitinib, and placebo in subjects with recent onset Stage 3 Type 1 Diabetes within 100 days of diagnosis. Read Less
