Diabetes Clinical Trials in Milwaukee, WI

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the role of autophagy on microvascular function in adults with Type 2 Diabetes. The main question it aims to answer are: Does presence of Type 2 Diabetes reduce autophagy and impair microvascular function? Does exposure to high glucose impair autophagy and subsequently microvascular function? Participants will undergo 2 study days. The primary outcome will be in vivo microvascular function testing. Following the first study day participants will undergo either supplementation with trehalose, an autophagy activator, or placebo for 14 days. The second study day will test in vivo microvascular function. Read Less

PRECIDENTD is a randomized, open label, pragmatic clinical trial designed to compare rates of the total number of cardiovascular, kidney, and death events among two alternative treatments for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and either established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or at high risk for ASCVD. To accomplish this objective, we will randomly assign 6,000 patients with established T2D and ASCVD or high-risk for ASCVD in a 1:1 allocation to sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA). Participants will be followed for the occurrence of the trial primary endpoint of the total (first and recurrent) number of episodes of myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, arterial revascularization, hospitalization for heart failure, development of end-stage kidney disease, kidney transplantation, and mortality, counting all events from randomization until end of study.

The overarching goal of this study is to understand facilitators and barriers to self-care, develop and refine a culturally tailored intervention to improve clinical outcomes, quality of life (QOL), and self-care behaviors in African American adults with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) experiencing multidimensional adversity (MDA) and living in the inner-city.

The purpose of this study is to gain more information about the step-by-step process that causes someone to develop type 1 diabetes. Scientists think that a person's own immune system, directed by genetic and environmental factors play a major role in its development. Participation involves a blood draw, a brief medical history questionnaire and measurements of height and weight. Some participants will be asked to return for annual follow-up visits for 10 years.

This study will test the preliminary efficacy of a nurse case-manager, telephone-delivered intervention that provides diabetes self-management education and skills training and resolves the unmet social needs of older African Americans with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes by randomizing 100 African Americans aged 50 years and older with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes to the Combined Diabetes Education/Skills Training and Social Needs Resolution (DM Social Needs) Intervention (n=50) and usual care (n=50) arms. The aims of this study are: Aim 1: Test the preliminary efficacy of the DM Social Needs intervention on clinical outcomes in older AAs with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes. Aim 2: Test the preliminary efficacy of the DM Social Needs intervention on patient reported outcomes in older AAs with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes. Read Less
