There is a fundamental gap in understanding the maternal and neonatal effects of antenatal corticosteroid (ACS) administration in women with threatened preterm birth (PTB) who have diabetes. Since the initial discovery of ACS for neonatal benefit in 1972, more than 40 randomized controlled trials have been performed evaluating its efficacy. However, none of these trials have included women with T2DM, and there is limited data among women with gestational diabetes. While ACS have been shown to reduce neonatal morbidity associated with PTB in non-diabetic women, the side effects of ACS (maternal hyperglycemia and fetal hyperinsulinemia) may mitigate the neonatal benefit of ACS in women with diabetes. Before neonatal benefit of ACS can be evaluated in this population, the first step is to optimize maternal glycemic control after ACS. Previous studies evaluating maternal hyperglycemia after ACS have been limited by small sample size, retrospective study design, or insufficient glucose data. Use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in a randomized clinical trial provides a unique opportunity to overcome these challenges. Our long-term goal is to improve maternal and child health among women with diabetes as an independently funded clinical researcher. The research objectives of this proposal are to test the efficacy of three treatment strategies at achieving maternal glycemic control after ACS and evaluate the association between maternal glycemic control and neonatal outcomes. Our central hypothesis is that treatment with a continuous insulin infusion will improve maternal glycemic control, which is key to improving neonatal outcomes, but at the cost of less patient satisfaction and more health resource utilization. This hypothesis will be tested by pursuing the following specific aims: 1) Test the efficacy of three treatment strategies (addition of sliding scale insulin, up-titration of home insulin, and continuous insulin infusion) at achieving maternal glycemic control after ACS and 2) Quantify the association between maternal glycemic control after ACS and neonatal morbidity. Completion of these aims will determine the optimal strategy to achieve maternal glycemic control after ACS and inform a larger, multicenter trial to improve neonatal outcomes among women with diabetes and threatened PTB.

This study tests whether providing cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) to people with prediabetes results in a reduction in glucose levels compared to a patient education control program. Read Less

This is a single-center, open-label, crossover trial with two arms and two periods (2x2) and one-week washout period. The study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of an AI-based bedtime smart snack intervention in reducing nocturnal low glucose in people living with T1D on MDI therapy compared with traditional CGM-augmented MDI therapy as the control.

The overall purpose of this study is to identify how empagliflozin (a drug commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes) impacts skeletal muscle metabolic health among adults with prediabetes. Our aims are to: 1) Test the ability of empagliflozin to improve regulation of glucose metabolism (i.e., blood sugar) among overweight and obese individuals at risk for diabetes, and 2) Identify mechanisms to explain how empagliflozin may improve skeletal muscle glucose metabolism. We hypothesize empagliflozin will improve regulation of glucose metabolism due to changes in whole-body and skeletal muscle metabolism (e.g., increased rates of whole-body fat oxidation, evidence of impaired skeletal muscle mitochondrial respiratory function and increased energetic stress, lower accumulation of skeletal muscle lipids and improved skeletal muscle insulin signaling compared with placebo treatment).

The purpose of this Research Study is: To determine the reliability and performance of the Dexcom G6® continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system in patients with diabetes undergoing hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) exposure. The study-specific blood glucose meter and CGM system are approved by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration). To determine whether HBO2 exposure causes blood glucose to drop as a result of the treatment. To determine whether HBO2 causes a change in blood glucagon (a hormone that raises blood glucose). Investigators will be comparing changes in blood glucose and glucagon in volunteers with diabetes who will be exposed to a single hyperbaric oxygen treatment (pressurization to 2.4 atmospheres absolute for 90 minutes) to a control period of 2 hours where volunteers will simulate a hyperbaric treatment while sitting in an examination room breathing room air at sea level pressure. Investigators will be measuring blood glucose with a variety of devices including a continuous glucose monitor, two point-of-care glucometers, and the hospital inpatient laboratory measurement of venous blood.

Gestational diabetes (GDM) impacts 1 in 10 pregnancies; hyperglycemia and hypertriglyceridemia are common features of the condition. Women are recommended to do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity a week during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Exercise both during and out of pregnancy has been shown to be an effective non-pharmacologic tool to reduce glucose and lipid profiles. The goals and purpose of this pilot study is to 1) determine the influence of exercise and the timing of exercise surrounding a meal on glucose and lipid metabolism in pregnant women with GDM and 2) determine the feasibility of low-resistance and aerobic activity and measuring exercise metrics during pregnancy. The overarching objective of this study is to determine the effects of low-resistance and aerobic exercise on glucose and lipids following a meal in pregnant women with GDM. Read Less
