Food is Medicine in Pediatric Patients With Diabetes

Type I Diabetes Pediatrics Food Insecurity

The objective of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effect of novel Food is Medicine Programming in the form of medically tailored pre-packaged meals for pediatric patients with Type 1 Diabetes. The provision of medically-tailored meals to children and adolescents with diabetes that have potential food security or access concerns in addition to nutrition counseling will improve clinical outcomes, decrease healthcare utilization, and improve health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Consulting with a Registered Dietician is the established multidisciplinary standard of care for pediatric patients with diabetes at UMass. Community Servings provides a medically-tailored pre-packaged meal plan designed for pediatric patients with Type 1 Diabetes. The addition of Community Servings to the current standard of care in pediatric patients with potential food security or access concerns will further improve clinical, decrease healthcare utilization, and improve HRQOL outcomes in pediatric patients with Type 1 Diabetes.

MEDITERRANEAN DIET AND OXIDATIVE STRESS IN TYPE 1 DIABETES

Type 1 Diabetes (Juvenile Onset) Continuous Glucose Monitoring System Oxidative Stress

Achieving optimal glycemic control in type 1 diabetes requires a holistic approach that includes individualized medical nutrition therapy in addition to appropriate insulin therapy. When diabetes is poorly managed, metabolic control is impaired. Hyperglycemic events increase oxidative stress in the body and can lead to complications. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of a 12-week Mediterranean diet on oxidative stress markers in children with type 1 diabetes who do not meet the metabolic target (HbA1c \> 7%) and whose adherence to the Mediterranean diet is "poor" and "needs improvement". The study, planned between March 2026 and March 2027, will be conducted with girls aged 10-18 years with type 1 diabetes who are followed up at the Department of Pediatric Endocrinology, Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, Istanbul University. In the first phase, participants were divided into groups based on their HbA1c levels: those with HbA1c ≤ 7 met the metabolic target (Group A); Those with HbA1c \> 7 will be divided into two groups: those not meeting the metabolic target (Group B). In the second stage, the intervention group will be determined according to the results of the KIDMED, the pediatric Mediterranean diet adherence scale. Those in Group B who did not meet the metabolic targets and those with "poor" and "need improvement" KIDMED results will form the intervention group (Group C). Adolescents in Group C will receive a 12-week Mediterranean diet intervention. Information will be collected from participants using questionnaires, scales, and experimental methods. This includes completing the 'Personal Information Form', 'Biochemical Parameters Form', '3-Day Nutrition Questionnaire', 'KIDMED scale', and 'Sensor Data Form'. The obtained data will be analyzed both individually and before-and-after using SPSS 26. The findings are expected to show improvement in OS markers in the intervention group. Improvement in glycemic control markers is also predicted. A decrease in HbA1c levels, a reduction in blood sugar fluctuations, and an increase in the duration of staying within the target range are expected. This study is expected to contribute to the literature by revealing the effects of the Mediterranean diet on oxidative stress and metabolic control parameters in type 1 diabetes. It is anticipated that the findings will support the potential role of dietary approaches with antioxidant properties not only in glycemic control but also in oxidative stress levels and long-term complication risks.

Qatar Cardiometabolic Retrospective Cohort-Analysis Using Artificial Intelligence

Cardio Vascular Disease Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) Type 2 Diabetes Pre Diabetes +1

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, and individuals with diabetes or other cardiometabolic conditions are at increased risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Although advances in prevention and treatment have reduced cardiovascular events globally, cardiometabolic disease continues to represent a significant health burden, particularly in regions with high diabetes prevalence. In Qatar and other Gulf Cooperation Council countries, the prevalence of diabetes and obesity is increasing, contributing to a high proportion of participants presenting with acute coronary syndrome who have type 2 diabetes or prediabetes. This observational study will use electronic medical record data from patients hospitalized at the Heart Hospital with acute coronary syndrome and a concomitant diagnosis of diabetes or prediabetes. The study will assess trends in cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular events, including readmission and mortality. An artificial intelligence component will be used to develop and validate machine learning based risk prediction models to forecast adverse cardiovascular outcomes in participants with cardiometabolic disease. These models will integrate clinical, biochemical, imaging, and other non-invasive data routinely collected during participants care to identify predictors of cardiovascular events.

Evaluation of the Clinical Spectrum of Diabetes and Obesity in Youth and Adults

Obesity Diabetes Metabolic Disorders

Background: Diabetes and obesity are chronic diseases. They can affect blood flow and how the body processes nutrients, and complications over time can lead to early death. Diabetes can affect children as well as adults, but the disease seems to be more severe and to progress faster when it appears in younger people. Researchers want to understand more about how diabetes and obesity develop and change over time. Objective: To collect data and samples regularly from people with obesity and diabetes. Eligibility: People aged 8 to 65 years. They must be overweight or obese; or have high blood sugar; or have problems with how their body uses food for energy. Design: Participants will have additional procedures during routine care visits at the NIH clinic. Data collected for the study will include the following: Information from the participant s medical chart will be kept for research. Questionnaires will ask about participant s eating habits, feelings, sleep, and substance use. They will take 30 to 60 minutes. Care providers will address any issues revealed in these surveys. Blood, saliva, urine, and stool samples will be collected. Samples may be used for genetic tests. Data and samples will be kept for future research. Participants may remain in the study up to 30 years.

Developing a Colonoscopy Preparation Protocol for Patients With Diabetes

Hypoglycaemia Diabete Mellitus Colonoscopy (Ambulatory Patients)

Patients with diabetes have less effective colonoscopy preparation when compared to nondiabetic patients. This leads to the possibility of missed polyps, longer procedural time and patient dissatisfaction. Furthermore, the peri-colonoscopy period has been associated with increased risk of hypoglycemic events given the required change in diet and possible changes in antihyperglycemic medication regime, though this area is not well studied. Studies have found that same day preparation for colonoscopy allowed for comparable bowel visualization to split dosing. Pairing this with a low fiber diet permitted the day prior to colonoscopy, the extent of changes to routine and diet within a patient with diabetes day for colonoscopy preparation is minimized and could reduce risk of side effects and hypoglycemia, while also ensuring adequate bowel preparation. This study tests the hypothesis that creating a diabetic specific protocol (permitting a low fibre diet the day prior to colonoscopy and using same day preparation) will result in fewer hypoglycemic events and more adequate quality preparation in comparison to a conventional 2L PEG split day preparation with dietary restrictions in patients with diabetes.

Long-term Follow-up of Diabetic Patients From the GLUTADIAB Study

Diabetes

Diabetes and related complications, particularly cardiovascular disease, are associated to exacerbated inflammation, which is characterized by an activation into a pro-inflammatory status of myeloid cells including blood monocytes and tissue macrophages. It is known that monocytes and macrophages sense, integrate and respond to their microenvironment and continually monitor the availability of nutrients in order to adapt their activity and metabolism accordingly. However, the molecular mechanisms driving their activation and switch to a pro-inflammatory phenotype in diabetes are not fully elucidated. The Tricarboxylic Acid cycle is a nexus for multiple nutrient inputs and the generation of Tricarboxylic Acid cycle metabolites is nowadays thought to orient macrophage polarization. Reduced glutamine concentrations have been reported in patients with type 2 diabetes compared to healthy individuals. Ex vivo studies (mainly performed in rodent models) have shown that glutamine catabolism (glutaminolysis) is involved in the activation of macrophages by generating Tricarboxylic Acid cycle intermediates that promote the pro-inflammatory polarization of macrophages. Yet, the link - glutamine catabolism, monocytes polarization and diabetes-related cardiovascular complications - remains unclear. The first phase of this project (GlutaDiab) aimed to clarify this association by quantifying glutamine metabolism in serum and monocytes activation of type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients and investigating the possible correlation with the risk of cardiovascular complications in a transversal cohort. The GlutaDiab2 is the second phase of this project and aims to further investigate the association between glutamine metabolism and cardiovascular risk by collecting follow-up data on cardiovascular events. This longitudinal data will also address the directionality of the association between glutamine metabolism, monocytes activation and cardiovascular risk.

Diabetes Prevention by Group Intervention and CGM Use in Pre-diabetic Adults

Pre Diabetic Hyperglycaemia (Non Diabetic)

This study is being done to find better ways to help people with prediabetes prevent or delay the development of type 2 diabetes. Prediabetes means your blood sugar is higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed with diabetes. It is often silent, but without changes in diet and activity, many people progress to a diagnosis of diabetes within a few years. The study combines two strategies: 1. Group visits - small, regular meetings where patients learn about healthy eating, physical activity, and stress management. 2. Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) - small wearable sensors that measure blood sugar all day and show how food, movement, and sleep affect it in real time. By bringing these two tools together, the research hopes to help participants better understand their own bodies and make lasting lifestyle changes. What is the purpose of this research? The purpose of this research is to find out whether using a CGM device together with group sessions can help people with prediabetes lower their average blood sugar (measured by A1C) and improve confidence in managing their health.

Integrating Care for Hypertension-Diabetes MULTImorbidity in Guatemala Through HEARTS Implementation

Hypertension (HTN) Type 2 Diabetes

The purpose of this study is to find out whether a program called HEARTS can improve care for people who have both high blood pressure and diabetes. HEARTS was created by the World Health Organization to help primary care clinics deliver better treatment. It includes training for health workers, simpler treatment guides, better access to medicines, teamwork among clinic staff, and tracking systems to monitor patient care. In this study, 36 public primary care clinics in Guatemala will be randomly assigned to either use the HEARTS program or continue with their current care. About 1,440 adults who have both high blood pressure and diabetes will take part. Participants will be assessed at the start of the study and again after 12 months. The main measures are blood pressure and hemoglobin A1c (a blood test that shows average blood sugar levels over the past 2 to 3 months).

SPARK-CGM Implementation

Diabetes Mellitus

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is a technology that helps individuals with diabetes track their sugar levels in real-time, leading to more in-range blood sugars, fewer episodes of dangerously low blood sugar, and improved quality of life. Despite these benefits, CGM is not widely used in primary care settings, where most people receive their diabetes care. The investigators aim to make CGM more accessible and equitably prescribed in primary care practices. The study team will support primary care to increase CGM use with a program called SPARK-CGM (Supporting Primary Care Adoption, Resources, and Knowledge for CGM) across a large network of primary care clinics at Montefiore Medical Center. This program will provide primary care providers (PCPs) with education, tools, and support to incorporate CGM into their routine care for people with diabetes. Investigators plan to test SPARK-CGM to evaluate whether it increases CGM prescriptions who are eligible to receive this technology.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Type 1 Diabetes

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

BACKGROUND Functional ovarian hyperandrogenism, including the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), is very prevalent in women with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The pathogenic mechanisms of this association remain unclear. HYPOTHESIS Individual factors expose or protect women with T1D to/from the development of androgen excess and PCOS. Such androgen excess in women with T1D may increase their cardiometabolic risk. MAIN OBJECTIVE Unveiling the pathogenic mechanisms behind functional hyperandrogenism in women with T1D from a sex/gender-medicine and sexual dimorphism perspective. MATERIAL AND METHOS We have designed a cross-sectional comparative clinical study, including 5 groups of study subjects with 12 participans per group: i) Women with T1D \& PCOS. ii) Women with T1D without PCOS. iii) Men with T1D and normal gonadal function. iv) Women with PCOS without diabetes mellitus v) Non-hyperandrogenic control women without T1D. All groups will show similar age and body mass index. T1D groups will be matched for duration of disease. OUTCOMES 1.1 Insulin sensitivity (hyperinsulinaemic euglycaemic clamping). 1.2 Body composition (dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, bioelectrical impedance analysis \& sonographic studies). 1.3 Ovarian and adrenal steroidogenesis. 2.1 Differential pattern in genetic variants related with insulin signalling and response, inflammation, adiposity, gonadal function, steroidogenesis, and PCOS itself by whole exome sequencing. 2.2 Microbiopsy studies in deep subcutaneous adipose tissue and skeletal muscle tissue: 2.2.1 Differential DNA methylation patterns in genes associated with PCOS. 2.2.2 Differential transcriptomic pattern in genes associated with PCOS. 2.2.3 Differential proteomic patterns in adipose and muscle tissues. 3. Interaction between T1D and PCOS on parameters of metabolic control (intersticial blood glucose monitoring) and morbidities associated with T1D itself.

Evaluating Safe Ketone Thresholds To Minimise Ketosis in People With Type 1 Diabetes Using Dapagliflozin

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a type of medicine that help the kidneys get rid of extra sugar in the blood through urine. In people with type 2 diabetes (T2D), these medications help lower blood sugar levels, help people lose weight and improve heart and kidney health. SGLT2 inhibitors are mainly used in T2D, however some studies show they might also help people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The same health benefits observed in people with T2D the investigators anticipate may help those with T1D. Currently, there is a safety concern that people with T1D using these medicines can raise the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). DKA occurs when the body doesn't have enough insulin (a hormone made in the pancreas that helps your body use sugar (glucose) for energy), it starts to break down fats as a source of energy. This breakdown of fats produces ketones. Very high levels of ketones in the blood can make the blood acidic (toxic) and lead to DKA. If not treated in time, this can make the person living with T1D very ill and can be life-threatening. Because of this risk, health agencies like the FDA in the U.S., and the TGA in Australia have not approved use of SGLT2 inhibitors for people with T1D. Still, some experts believe SGLT2 inhibitors may safely be used alongside insulin in T1D if DKA risk is carefully managed. This might be possible with early detection and treatment of rising ketone levels. One approach is using continuous ketone monitors, which track ketone levels in real time and can alert users early. People would also need proper education on what to do if ketone levels start rising. To date, there's no official agreement on the exact ketone level that should trigger action. Some suggest action when ketone levels reach 1.0 or 1.5 mmol/L. A lower limit like 1.0 mmol/L may be safer, but it could also lead to too many alarms and extra stress, or unnecessary eating to bring ketones down. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess if initiating responses to elevated ketone levels at a threshold of 1.0 mmol/L, compared to a threshold of 1.5 mmol/L, will reduce the risk of DKA in people with T1D using Dapagliflozin. The investigators will recruit 115 adults with T1D and provide Dapagliflozin (SGLT2 inhibitor) and continuous glucose and ketone monitoring (DGK) devices. Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups. Group 1 will wear a DGK with alarms set at ketone level of 1.0 mmol/L and receive education about taking action when ketone levels are ≥1.0 mmol/L. Group 2 will wear a DGK with alarms set at ketone level of 1.5 mmol/L and receive education about taking action when ketone levels are ≥1.5 mmol/L. Participants will be assessed for time spent with critically high ketone levels, incidence of DKA, glucose and person reported outcomes. Findings from this study will provide real life data and clinical evidence to help guide safe use of SGLT2 inhibitors in people with T1D by informing protocols for monitoring and managing associated DKA risks.

APOs Associated With Respiratory Viral Infections Before and During Early Pregnancy

Respiratory Viral Infections Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes

Adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) are a collection of conditions that have short-term and long-term effects of complications related to pregnancy and childbirth on pregnant women and their fetuses, including hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, gestational diabetes, preterm birth, large for gestational age, among others. Nearly 30% of all women experience an adverse pregnancy outcome during their reproductive years. Although, respiratory viral infections with epidemic and pandemic potential pose an omnipresent threat to public health, research focusing specifically on the maternal-infant population remains relatively scarce. Studies conducted in USA found that among pregnant women infected with influenza, the proportion of those with gestational hypertension or diabetes was higher than in pregnant women without influenza infection (13.9% vs. 11.1%). Research on the impact of respiratory viral infections on perinatal outcomes in China is limited, and we aim to establish of a large-scale, retroprospective maternal-child cohorts. This cohort study will systematically collect longitudinal data (e.g., detailed clinical history, timing of infection/vaccination, complication of pregnancy, and APOs) to assess the risk of respiratory viral infections to APOs, as well as facilitate multidisciplinary research.

Exercise to Improve Neurovascular Function in Breast Cancer Survivors

Breast Cancer Survivorship

Study Rationale: Breast cancer survivors are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease (CVD) or neurocognitive disease than age-matched counterparts without a history of cancer diagnosis. Some anti-cancer treatments cause damage to the cells of heart and the walls of blood vessels, which may exacerbate neurovascular dysfunction and cancer-related cognitive impairment (symptoms such as 'chemo-brain'), as well as accelerating the onset of neurocognitive disease. Therefore, effective policies and therapeutic strategies are needed to minimize neurovascular dysfunction and neurocognitive disease in at-risk populations like breast cancer survivors. Regular exercise training is effective in slowing or preventing the development of CVD. Furthermore, higher fitness levels are associated with lower dementia risk in older adults, which may be due to better neurovascular function. However, whether exercise training incorporated into a Cardio-Oncology Rehabilitation and Exercise (CORE) programme can improve neurovascular function in breast cancer survivors is currently unknown. Therefore, the primary aim of this study will be to determine the effect of a CORE programme on neurovascular function in long-term breast cancer survivors. Study Description: This study will be a randomised controlled trial to investigate the effect of a CORE programme on neurovascular function in long-term breast cancer survivors. Participants will complete a series of baseline assessments, including lifestyle questionnaires, a cognitive function assessment, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), ultrasound assessments of arterial stiffness and vascular function, and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Furthermore, participants will wear a blood pressure monitor at home for 24 hours, and a physical activity monitor for seven days. Following completion of baseline assessments, participants will be randomised to either the CORE program or a 'usual care' group. The CORE program will include a 6-month exercise training program supervised by an Exercise Physiologist at the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute. The usual care group will carry on with healthcare from their usual healthcare provider(s) for 6 months. Participants will then complete two follow-up study visits following completion of the 6-month intervention period, with identical procedures to the baseline study visits. Study Duration: This study involves two baseline study visits in month 1, followed by two study visits in month 7. Participants randomised to the CORE program will be asked to attend the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute on a weekly basis for supervised exercise training sessions. However, the supervised exercise training sessions will be provided by a mix of in-person, video-conferencing and tele-health modes depending on each participants availability and needs.
