Iatrogenic hypoglycemia is the most prominent barrier to the safe, effective management of blood sugar in people with type 1 diabetes due to periodic over-insulinization. During insulin-induced hypoglycemia, glucagon secretion is diminished in type 1 diabetes which, in turn, reduces hepatic glucose production and increases the depth and duration of hypoglycemic episodes. We have observed that the naturally occurring protein C-peptide increases glucagon secretion in dogs during insulin-induced hypoglycemia, which increases hepatic glucose production; the experiments in this application will shed light on the translation of this finding to the human.

Iatrogenic hypoglycemia is still considered to be the number one barrier to effective glycemic control in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). In a previous study, it was observed in people without diabetes that fasting can be detrimental to the hormonal and hepatic responses to insulin-induced hypoglycemia. In the experiments described herein, the impact fasting has on hypoglycemic counterregulation in people with T1D will be determined.

A mobile health program "HypoPals", which incorporates data from continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGMs) and sends personalized text messages to help people sharpen their low blood sugar symptom detection skills, and help people consider how they think of low blood sugar, was devised. The goal of the current study is to make sure that HypoPals runs smoothly, users find the intervention useful, and the way the researchers conduct the final study will be correct (i.e., there is a need for 'pilot testing' the developed technology and research methods). All participants will receive basic hypoglycemia education text messages, and then be randomized to one of the four experimental conditions: Hypoglycemia Symptom Detection Training, Education Plus, both Symptom Detection Training and Education Plus, and usual care. Participants may receive additional interventional text messages based on the experimental condition participants are assigned to. The study may terminate after collecting sufficient data to evaluate the primary outcome (i.e., determining the number of participants recruited to reach 20 participants who complete the intervention).

Smartphone App for Type 2 Diabetes

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
This is a clinical trial that includes a run-in period, a 90 day micro-randomized trial, and a 90-day observational period. The goal of this study is to evaluate whether providing paired real time glycemic and health behavior data in a smartphone app leads to better glycemic control among adolescents and young adults with T2D. Glycemic control will be monitored using Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM), and health behavior data will be collected via a Fitbit activity tracker and a research app (Healthmine). Participants will be prompted to view and reflect on glycemic trends and health behavior data (Fitbit data, logging of diet and medication adherence) during the 90-day micro-randomized trial period, then observed for ongoing use of the Healthmine app and engagement with CGM in the following 90-day observation period.

Strategies to reduce sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) have become one of the leading public health targets to address the epidemics of obesity and diabetes. National food, nutrition, and health policies and programs have positioned low-fat milk as the preferred caloric replacement strategy for SSBs. This strategy derives from evidence that replacement of SSBs with low-fat milk is associated with reductions in weight and incident diabetes in prospective cohort studies and reduces liver fat (an important early metabolic lesion linking obesity to diabetes), as well as triglycerides and blood pressure in randomized trials. Whether these benefits hold for soy milk alternatives is unclear. There is an urgent need for studies to clarify the benefits of soy milk as an alternative to cow's milk. Our overarching aim is to produce high-quality clinical evidence that informs the use of soy as a "public health intervention" for addressing the dual epidemics of obesity and diabetes and overall metabolic health. To achieve this aim, we propose to conduct the Soy Treatment Evaluation for Metabolic health (STEM) trial, a large, pragmatic, randomized controlled trial to assess the effect of using 2% soy milk (soy protein vehicle) versus 2% cow's milk (casein and whey vehicle matched for protein and volume) as a "public health intervention" to replace SSBs on liver fat and key cardiometabolic mediators/indicators in an at risk population.

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of time-restricted eating (TRE), which is a form of intermittent fasting. When performing TRE, individuals consume all of their calories within a specific time window and then only consume water or other no calorie drinks the rest of the day. TRE is performed each day. There is no restriction on the quality or amount of food that people can consume during their eating window (ad libitum eating) with TRE, which can last anywhere from 4 to 12 hours. We are comparing three different 9-hour eating windows to determine whether the start and stop time of the eating window impact blood sugar control in individuals with obesity who also have or are at risk for type 2 diabetes. We also aim to determine if there are differences in the effects of the timing of eating window between males and females.

Zinc for Prediabetes

Lancaster, Pennsylvania
The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate the impact of zinc supplementation on fasting glucose levels, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and other indices of glucose homeostasis in individuals with prediabetes. The investigators hypothesize that prediabetic subjects receiving zinc will demonstrate a greater decrease in HbA1c and blood glucose compared to prediabetic subjects receiving placebo. Specific Aim: Conduct a prospective, double-blind randomized clinical trial comparing the effects of 12 months of zinc supplementation (zinc gluconate 30 milligram \[mg\] per day) versus placebo on glucose homeostasis. Based upon expected effect size and power calculations, and anticipating a 20% drop-out rate, the investigators will study 200 prediabetic subjects (100 per group) using a 1:1 randomization design. HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose, and other measures will be obtained at 0, 6, and 12 months and will be compared between zinc supplementation and placebo groups.

To determine the effect of sympathetic neural and hormonal (epinephrine) input on islet cell hormonal responses to insulin-induced hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetic recipients of intrahepatic islet transplantation. We hypothesize that α-adrenergic (neural) blockage will abolish insulin-mediated suppression of C-peptide, attenuating α-cell glucagon secretion during hypoglycemia, and that β-adrenergic (hormonal) blockage will have no effect. Glucose counterregulatory responses will be measured during hyperinsulinemic euglycemic-hypoglycemic clamps on three occasions with randomized, double-blind administration of the α-adrenergic blocker phentolamine, the β-adrenergic blocker propranolol, or placebo. The demonstration of neural rather than hormonal regulation of the transplanted islet cell response to hypoglycemia is critical for understanding the mechanism for protection from hypoglycemia afforded by intrahepatically transplanted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to increase Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus knowledge and awareness among patients who present to the Emergency Department with hyperglycemia. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How do patients view their risk of developing type 2 diabetes based on their demographics and behaviors? * Does giving patient education increase patient knowledge, leading to healthier behaviors? Researchers will assess if the educational intervention increases diabetes knowledge and positive health behaviors among Emergency Department hyperglycemic patients. Participants will: * Receive the educational packet (intervention) alongside standard Emergency Care. * Take pre-survey at time of Emergency Department visit and post- survey two weeks later.

The goal of this clinical trial is to improve the processes of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) care coordination and treatment in the emergency department (ED) by utilizing clinical decision support mechanisms in the electronic health record (EHR). The main question is whether electronic prompts triggered by hyperglycemia and elevated A1c results in providers providing earlier treatments and faster time to subsequent primary care appointment and greater reduction in hemoglobin A1c (HA1c). ED clinicians will receive alerts called Our Practice Advisories (OPA's) through the EPIC EHR. The 1st OPA triggers when a random point-of-care (POC) glucose is ≥250 mg/dL, prompting a suggested additional HA1c order. A 2nd OPA triggers if the resulting HA1c is ≥10%, prompting consideration of further care coordination in the Observation Unit. Investigators will compare the outcomes post-intervention compared to pre-intervention.

The purpose of the study is to determine how blood sugar levels in individuals with and without hypoglycemia after bariatric surgery respond to different doses of glucagon, a hormone that is usually present in your body that regulates blood sugar levels. In this study, there will be 4 visits to the clinical research center. In the first visit, medical history and physical exam will be performed, and blood samples will be taken to assess overall health. During visit 2, a continuous glucose monitor will be placed under the skin. (This may be combined with visit 1, depending on the schedule of visits.) In visit 3, we will test the effect of a total of 4 different doses of glucagon, in increasing doses. In visit 4, we will test the effect of a total of 3 doses of glucagon, in decreasing doses. For both visit 3 and 4, we will infuse labeled stable glucose to allow us to measure how much glucose the body is making, and will measure levels of hormones which regulate glucose, such as insulin and glucagon.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Blood Sugar clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Blood Sugar clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Blood Sugar trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Blood Sugar is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Blood Sugar medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Blood Sugar clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Continuous Glucose Monitoring for Diabetic Ketoacidosis, Smartphone App for Type 2 Diabetes and Dichloroacetate for Type 1 Diabetes to the Power online platform.
