Diabetes Clinical Trials in Ann Arbor, MI

The Michigan Men's Diabetes Project III: Mind \& Motion is an 7-month pilot randomized clinical trial. The investigators are looking to recruit 80 Black men with type 2 diabetes (T2D) (need to have diagnosis for at least one year) that are over the age of 18. Participants also must be under the care of a physician for their diabetes, self report an Hemoglobin A1c (A1C) of 7.0% or more in the last year, be willing to participate in study events (weekly physical activity, exercise and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) sessions, group discussion sessions, and in-person health assessments), have reliable internet access (steady internet connection or unlimited data) that will allow them to use a tablet/phone/computer to complete study related tasks, live in the Wayne or Washtenaw County, and have reliable transportation to in-person events. All participants will receive 8 hours/sessions of cognitive behavioral therapy. Participants randomized to the intervention arm will also receive 8 sessions of guided exercise at the same time. Following that they will also receive 8 group discussion sessions that will serve as on-going support. All sessions will be help via Zoom. Additionally, all participants will participate in The 4 health assessments will take place at baseline, 10 weeks, 18 weeks, and 30 weeks. Read Less

The device being studied, the Transcutaneous Electrical Accustimulator (TEA), will deliver weak electrical current at two specific points, one at the leg and the other at the arm at settings known to improve symptoms involving the digestive system. The study team would like to test if the device will impact the gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and gastric motility in study participants with gastroparesis. Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial pilot study is to test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a combined intervention strategy of 1) technology-supported financial navigation to address economic burden of disease and 2) peer support both to facilitate linkages to clinical care and community resources to address social risks and improve participants\' diabetes self-management. The main aims of this pilot study are: * To examine the feasibility and acceptability of technology-supported financial navigation and financial navigation with peer support * To examine trends in preliminary efficacy of technology-supported financial navigation and peer support versus financial navigation-alone on 1) A1c and blood pressure (primary outcomes), and 2) out-of-pocket costs, treatment-related financial stress, cost-related non-adherence behaviors, diabetes distress, diabetes self-care behaviors, and uptake of social care assistance (secondary outcomes). The investigators will assess whether a combined intervention of technology-supported financial navigation and peer support will produce trends in superior diabetes and social care outcomes to financial navigation alone via a 2-arm randomized controlled trial. Participants will * Complete 3 survey appointments at baseline, and 3 and 6 months. Each appointment will consist of a survey assessment, an HbA1C test, and two blood pressure readings over the phone. * Be randomized to either financial navigation only or financial navigation and peer support.

The investigators will conduct an acceptability, feasibility, preliminary effectiveness trial of a 4-month, online, very low-carbohydrate breakfast-focused program in 120 adults with type 2 diabetes. The investigators will measure acceptability and feasibility, plus critical efficacy outcomes, such as changes in HbA1c, anti-hyperglycemic medications, glycemic variability, body weight, blood pressure, and lipids.

This single site investigator-initiated prospective observational study will enroll up to 150 participants 13-26 years of age with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and utilize ecological momentary assessment methods (EMA) to examine associations between different diabetes psychological domains (distress, anxiety, and depression) in real-time on self-efficacy, self-management behaviors, and glycemic outcomes.

The goal of this study is to improve the therapeutic management of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). The main questions to answer are if a program of non-weight bearing exercise helps the DFU heal faster than standard wound care. This randomized clinical trial will determine how blood flow to the ulcer and whole body metabolism may be improved with exercise. Participants will be randomized to either exercise + standard wound care or standard wound care alone and undergo testing for leg blood flow, fitness and measures of metabolism through blood draws. The intervention period is 6-weeks. Eligible participants must have an existing foot ulcer uncomplicated by infection and be medically cleared to exercise. Read Less

The goal of this open-label, non-randomized clinical trial is to determine what effects, if any, an FDA-approved drug class known as SGLT2 inhibitors (Canagliflozin or INVOKANA) has any protective effects on kidney function in Type 2 diabetes. We are looking for participants 18-80 years of age, who have had a clinical diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes for ≥ 3 years. Participants will be asked to sign a consent and complete a screening visit prior to study entry including the following procedures for this study: Consent and Screening: * Laboratory tests to determine baseline health * Ultrasound to measure kidney size and ensure presence of 2 functioning kidneys Month 0: * Study entry kidney MRI (day 0) * Study entry kidney biopsy (within 30 days of MRI) * Study entry visit for dispensing 100 mg/daily Canagliflozin medication 3 month supply Month 3: * Study visit to dispense remaining 3 months of 100 mg/daily Canagliflozin medication * Review of systems Month 6: * Follow-up kidney MRI * Follow-up kidney biopsy Study participants will also be requested to provide blood and urine samples for biobanking purposes. They will also be provided the opportunity to provide a stool sample at two time points, as well as the option to participate in a related study collecting samples to create induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs). Participants will be compensated for their time and loss of work time, additionally, a nominal additional compensation for optional stool and iPSC samples. Read Less
