Diabetes Paid Clinical Trials in Minnesota

Approximately 92 million U.S. adults (\~38% of population) have prediabetes (PreD). Because people with PreD are at high risk CMD, they are a target population for diabetes prevention programs. The focus is people with PreD because of their high risk for developing CMD and large numbers, providing an opportunity to investigate behavioral and environmental approaches as preventive measures in a well-defined population. Urbanization affords challenges and opportunities to public health that include exposure to obesogenic environments, air pollution, and psychosocial stressors. In healthy adults suggest exposure to nature has health benefits relative to exposure to built environments. Hypothesized mechanisms for health benefits of Greenspace exposure include increased physical activity (PA), attention restoration, stress reduction, and reduced exposure to pollution. Many of the health benefits are associated with reduced psychological and physiological stress leading to better autonomic functioning as assessed by heart rate variability (HRV) and other biomarkers. Multiple studies suggest that PA and exposure to natural environments may act together to improve health. Yet, aside from our preliminary studies, we are not aware of any studies that examined how physical activity may interact with exposure to urban Greenspace ('Green') compared with built urban environments ('Gray'), to reduce stress and improve health. The purpose of this proposed study is to conduct a randomized crossover trial comparing differences in the psychosocial and physiological effects of walking in urban Green and Gray spaces in adults with PreD.

Nutrition guidelines state that multiple eating patterns are effective for type 2 diabetes and that therapy should be individualized. Yet many nutrition plans fail to account for interpersonal variability in blood glucose response to meals. This diminishes the ability of dietary interventions to optimize glycemic control and may lessen patient satisfaction, self--efficacy, and adherence. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) can facilitate behavior change in type 2 diabetes and has been associated with improved outcomes in nutrition intervention studies; this literature is limited by small study sample sizes and heterogeneity of study design and outcomes, and more data are needed. CGM could be a powerful tool for adapting a nutrition plan based on blood glucose response at an individual level. This study will test the use of CGM to personalize nutrition therapy compared to nutrition therapy alone (without CGM) for participants with type 2 diabetes who are not meeting glycemic treatment goals.

Fasting hyperglycemia contributes disproportionately to nonenzymatic glycosylation and the microvascular complications of type 2 diabetes. However, little is known about the regulation of glucose concentrations in the fasting state relative to what is known about the postprandial state. The proposed experiment is part of a series of experiments designed to establish how glucagon and insulin interact with their receptors to control fasting glucose in health and in prediabetes.

This is a multi-center, prospective, non-interventional study that focuses on the long- term effects following participation in selected ITN new-onset Type1 Diabetes Mellitus studies with immunomodulatory agents (T1DM, T1D). This observational study will: * follow participants to determine how long they continue to produce insulin, and * will also assess how changes in the immune system over time relate to the ability to produce insulin. This information could help design better therapies for type 1 diabetes in the future. Read Less

The study is being conducted to understand if the hemoglobin A1c, a measurement of control of blood sugars over a 3-month time, is valid in patients with Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADs) in place. To understand whether it is an adequate measurement, the investigators will compare the A1c to results from a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) measurement of blood sugars. By monitoring blood sugars continuously, the investigators will also assess whether they can get better control of blood sugars with a CGM, including avoiding low blood sugars. Read Less

Hyperglycemia in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is initially treated with metformin coupled with intentional caloric restriction, which is difficult to sustain due to multiple barriers, including acquiring the necessary knowledge, teaching the intervention, cost of delivery and potential burden on quality of life. In contrast to intentionally restricting calories, time restricted eating (TRE), presents a simplified view of eating focused on restricting the eating window, which allows ad libitum intake per a person's dietary preferences during a daily fixed eating window. This study proposes a 24 week feasibility study to test if TRE is a viable alternative to Caloric Restriction in improving glycemic measures while accounting for weight loss in overweight/obese patients \[BMI:25-45 kg/m2\] with metformin-only treated Type 2 diabetes.

This study is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic intestinal re-cellularization therapy in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) inadequately controlled on non-insulin glucose-lowering medications. Read Less

The purpose of this trial is to test and refine the PACTAID smart phone application in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus to help manage exercise while on automated insulin delivery systems with the goal of improving glycemic control during and after exercise as well as improving multiple other cardiovascular risk factors.

This will be a placebo-controlled, randomized, double blind, crossover study with a 4 week wash out period. Collect pilot data on the safety, tolerability, and feasibility of empagliflozin therapy in overweight/obese patients with CFRD to support a future larger randomized controlled trial. Read Less

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effect of a wearable insulin pump on blood sugar levels during sleep. The study device works with continuous glucose monitors (CGM) to calculate and deliver rapid-acting insulin doses during sleep. The study device does not replace long-acting, correction, or mealtime insulin. The study will involve applying the study device before bed for a period of 13 weeks. The overall study length is approximately 17 weeks. The study aims to evaluate whether the study device is safe and if it lowers blood sugar levels in people who have consistently high blood sugar during sleep and at wake. Read Less
