In this study, the investigators are testing the effectiveness and implementation of the Community Health Workers (CHW)-delivered PILI Pasifika Program (PPP) Standard Facilitation or Enhanced Facilitation across 3 regions, the U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPI), the continental U.S., and Hawai'i, among 600 Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) participants in two settings, (clinical and non-clinical) over a 3-year period. The PPP is a 3-month lifestyle intervention that includes a Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) component and was NHPI-adapted from the Diabetes Prevention Program's Lifestyle Program, renamed to the PILI Lifestyle Program (PLP), which demonstrated effectiveness in improving weight, blood pressure, physical activity, and diet among NHPIs. The PPP consists of 8 lifestyle lessons and 4 SDOH activities delivered over a 3-month period. The investigators will conduct an effectiveness-implementation hybrid type 2 trial using a 3 (Region) x 2 (Setting) x 2 (Delivery Mode) factorial design. The long-term objective of this study is threefold: 1. To conduct an effectiveness-implementation hybrid 2 trial to test the effects of the PPP implementation strategies across different settings and modes of delivery among 600 NHPIs at risk for cardiometabolic-related conditions using an NHPI-approved and adapted evaluation framework. The investigators will also assess and compare the cost-effectiveness of the CHW-delivered PPP-Standard Facilitation and PPP-Enhanced Facilitation to support long-term sustainability. 2. To conduct a longitudinal Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) survey embedded within the trial to examine the reliability and validity of indices from 5 adapted SDOH instruments and to assess the associations between SDOH variables and chronic disease risk among NHPIs. 3. To implement and evaluate the contextually-based CHW training program on PPP delivery.

This study will determine the effects of consuming whole fruit on blood sugar control, liver fat, and cardiovascular health in adults with type 2 diabetes who are not treated with insulin.

Diabetes becomes epidemic in worldwide countries. Diabetes Canada indicated that 30% of adults in Manitoba are diabetes or prediabetes. Nine out of ten diabetic patients are type 2 diabetes (T2D). T2D is characterized by insulin resistance and obesity. Uncontrolled diabetes leads to serious consequences including heart attack, stroke, chronic renal failure, liver failure, blindness and low limb amputation. Most of hypoglycemic medications have certain side effects. Natural foods or nutraceuticals with hypoglycemic potential are expected to provide a safer management for diabetic patients. Saskatoon berry is a popular fruit in Canadian Prairie and Northern states in USA. Previous studies in the investigator's group demonstrated Saskatoon berry (SB) powder attenuated hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance, inflammation, liver steatosis and gut dysbiosis in diet-induced insulin resistant mice, a model for T2D. The findings of the glucose and lipid lowering or liver protective effects of SB powder have been supported by another group in Australia in high fat fed rats. Preliminary studies by the investigators in 20 healthy subjects demonstrated that dried whole SB (40 g/day for 10 weeks) significantly reduced fasting plasma glucose, total and LDL-cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, and increased plasma glucagon-like peptide compared to baseline, which was associated with increased intake of total fiber and decreased intake of saturated fat. The changes in metabolic and vascular variables significantly correlated with the alterations in gut microbiota The combination of findings suggest that SB is good candidate of prebiotic functional food as a supplemental remedy for reducing the risk for metabolic syndrome and preventing or managing T2D. The effect of Saskatoon berry and its products on metabolic disorders have not been studied in diabetic subjects. The investigators propose to examine the effects of oral administration of freeze-dried whole SB on glucose metabolism, insulin resistance and gut microbiota in untreated prediabetes and new type 2 diabetic patients compared to a control dried fruit in a randomized controlled trial.

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the safety of a new U500 insulin formulation and to determine how rapidly it is absorbed and how long it takes to act when administered intraperitoneally. The trial will be conducted in people with Type 1 Diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is the drug safe and tolerable when administered intraperitoneally? How fast is it absorbed, and how long does it take to act? Researchers will compare the investigational product (PI-U500) with Humulin R U500 administered intraperitoneally and Lyumjev U100 administered subcutaneously. Participants will undergo a 12-hour clamp procedure in which their blood glucose will be maintained stable via glucose infusion at variable rates after a single intraperitoneal injection of the insulin formulation.

This is a single-arm pragmatic clinical trial of time-restricted eating in patients with type 2 diabetes. Patients will be recruited from the University of Kentucky Barnstable Brown Diabetes Center. Subjects will participate in a 10-hour time-restricted eating intervention for 1-year.

When you live with type 1 diabetes (T1D), it is easy to feel alone. Managing your own T1D or your child's T1D takes constant effort that is invisible to most people. Often, the only people who really understand what you are going through are other people in similar situations, but it's hard to find those people, especially when there are other aspects of your life that might be different from others with T1D. For example, you might have a very young child with T1D, you might be racialized and deal with racism in health care on top of T1D, you might be going through menopause with T1D, you might be aging out of provincial or parental device coverage, you might speak a different language from most people around you with T1D, or any one of many other things that make your situation unique. This project aims to create regular, small online meetings via Zoom or similar technologies to bring together people across Canada who are managing T1D (their own and/or their child's) who have other things in common. We will create these small groups that will meet monthly as well as larger monthly webinars covering topics of interest. We will track how people like the groups, how they feel, what they like and don't like, and adjust the program accordingly. This project is led by researchers and others who themselves live with T1D. We believe that this kind of peer support can be extremely helpful to people with T1D and it will provide needed mental health support.

CAPTAIN-T2D will take place in two parts. Part 1 (Screening) will evaluate patients with type 2 diabetes and elevated cortisol risk factors for trial eligibility and the presence of elevated cortisol. Participants deemed eligible from Part 1 will be randomized to either clofutriben or placebo in the double-blind (participant and investigator), dose-ranging, interventional Part 2 (Treatment).

PRISM-TID is a single center non-inferiority randomized controlled trial of permissive intrapartum glucose management (intervention) versus strict intrapartum glucose management (standard of care) among pregnant individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) using hybrid closed loop therapy (HCL) who are admitted for labor management. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to one of two intrapartum glycemic control options: permissive (70-140 mg/dL) or strict (70-110 mg/dL). The primary aim of this trial it to demonstrate that permissive intrapartum glucose management is not associated with an increased risk of neonatal dysglycemia compared with strict intrapartum glucose management.

This research study is testing whether a weekly medication called tirzepatide can help adults with type 1 diabetes use their insulin pump more easily, specifically by reducing or eliminating the need to count carbohydrates at meals. People with type 1 diabetes must take insulin for life, and even with advanced insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors, many still struggle to keep blood sugar within the target range. One of the biggest challenges is carbohydrate counting, which requires estimating the amount of carbohydrates in every meal to give the correct insulin dose. Tirzepatide is a medication currently approved for type 2 diabetes and weight management. Early research suggests it may also help people with type 1 diabetes by lowering appetite, slowing digestion, reducing insulin needs, and smoothing after-meal blood sugar rises. This study will include 105 adults with type 1 diabetes at centers in Canada and Switzerland. Everyone will use the Tandem Control-IQ insulin pump with a Dexcom G7 continuous glucose monitor. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups: Tirzepatide group: Participants receive weekly tirzepatide injections. After the dose is gradually increased over 12 weeks, they will eventually try using their insulin pump without entering carbohydrate amounts at meals. Control group: Participants continue their usual therapy and keep counting carbohydrates for their mealtime insulin doses. The main goal of the study is to learn whether people taking tirzepatide can safely maintain good blood sugar control without counting carbs, compared with standard care. All participants will attend several clinic visits and share their glucose, insulin, and health data throughout the 32-week trial. Some centers will also conduct heart/fitness, or body-composition tests. As with any medication, tirzepatide may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or decreased appetite. Rare but serious risks like gallbladder disease or pancreatitis are also monitored. Pregnancy must be avoided during the trial. Overall, this study aims to understand whether adding tirzepatide to automated insulin delivery can simplify diabetes management, reduce burden, and maintain safe and effective glucose control for adults living with type 1 diabetes.

This is a phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of GL0034 among type II diabetes mellitus subjects who are obese or overweight with weight-related comorbidities. Subjects will be put on either one of the four treatment arms (GL0034, once a week, subcutaneous injection) or placebo arm (once a week, subcutaneous injection) following initial dose-up titration that takes up to approximately 20 weeks. The primary end point is change in HbA1c levels from baseline (Week 0) to Week 36 following treatments in all participants.

The purpose of this study is to learn more about a smartphone application (app) called DailyDose, an investigational decision support tool that may help in managing your diabetes. DailyDose tracks your continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data, insulin use, and exercise, and uses this information to provide personalized recommendations for insulin dosing and carbohydrate intake during exercise or low blood sugar events. We want to find out if DailyDose can help lower blood sugar levels as measured by the hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test.

The investigators will examine the feasibility, acceptability, and effect of an adaptive dietary intervention over 24 weeks (12-week intervention, 12-week follow-up) among Asian Americans with Type 2 diabetes. Participants (N=120; 60 Chinese Americans and 60 Vietnamese Americans) will be 2:1 randomized to one of two arms: adaptive dietary intervention or standard of care (SC). The intervention will begin with continued glucose monitoring (CGM) use only during weeks 0-4. At week 4, participants who achieve the glycemic control goal (at least an 8% increase in time in range \[TIR\] from baseline) will continue with the CGM alone during weeks 4-12 ("CGM Alone"); otherwise, culturally and linguistically adapted glucose excursion minimization (GEM) will be augmented with CGM ("CGM-GEM").
