DECIDE: A Comparative Effectiveness Trial of Metformin Versus Insulin for the Treatment of Gestational Diabetes
Description

This is a non-inferiority patient-centered and pragmatic comparative-effectiveness pregnancy randomized controlled trial (RCT) with postpartum maternal and child follow-up through 2 years of 1,572 individuals with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) randomized to oral metformin versus injectable insulin. This study will determine if metformin is not inferior to insulin in reducing adverse pregnancy outcomes, is comparably safe for exposed individuals and children, and if patient-reported factors, including facilitators of and barriers to use, differ between metformin and insulin. A total of 1,572 pregnant individuals with GDM who need pharmacotherapy will be recruited at 20 U.S. sites using consistent treatment criteria to metformin versus insulin. Participants and their children will be followed through delivery to two years postpartum.

Measurement of Insulin Levels in the Cerebrospinal Fluid of Healthy Adults After a Single Intranasal Dose - Middle Age
Description

The purpose of this study is to find out whether insulin, a drug approved by the FDA for the treatment of diabetes mellitus, reaches the brain and spinal cord when delivered as a nasal spray (intranasally). Intranasal insulin has been shown to improve memory and mood in patients with neurological diseases such as mild cognitive impairment and dementia, but more evidence is needed to support the ability to effectively target the brain through intranasal routes. 18 healthy middle-aged adults will be randomly assigned to receive a single intranasal dose of 40 units insulin ("low dose" group), 80 units insulin ("high dose" group), or saline (placebo, or control group). Participants will undergo an image-guided lumbar puncture (spinal tap) performed by a study clinician. Samples of cerebrospinal fluid (a fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord) and blood will be collected at 5 timepoints during the lumbar puncture: once prior to the administration of intranasal insulin, and again at 10, 20, 30, and 40 minutes after the dose is given. Samples will be tested to determine the level of insulin detected in the cerebrospinal fluid and blood at each time point. Results of this study will provide essential information about the ability of insulin to reach the brain after intranasal administration.

Role of Insulin Action in Psoriasis Pathogenesis
Description

The goal of this study is to collect more information from people with plaque psoriasis and to determine if insulin plays a role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. The main question it aims to answer is if insulin action is preserved or even enhanced in psoriatic lesions despite insulin resistance elsewhere. Participants with plaque psoriasis will have punch biopsies taken of lesional and non-lesional skin after an overnight fast and then during an oral glucose tolerance test. Biopsy specimens will then be assessed for markers of insulin action.

Effects of Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation on Obesity and Insulin Resistance
Description

Being overweight or obese has been associated with insulin resistance contributing to an increased risk for the development of type II diabetes. Food intake, metabolic rate, and blood glucose levels are regulated by the autonomic nervous system, including the vagus nerve. This study evaluates the hypothesis that non-invasive transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) affects hormones that regulate food intake and blood glucose levels in a way that is consistent with reduced food intake and lower blood glucose levels. The investigators further hypothesize that these effects of taVNS depend on body weight. In a cross-over design generally healthy study participants will receive either taVNS or a sham intervention for 30 minutes on two separate study days. The order of the intervention on the two study days will be randomized and the two study days are at least one week apart. Based on body mass index (BMI) study participants are assigned to either a normal weight (BMI\<25), overweight (BMI\<30), or obese (BMI\>30) group. Capillary blood samples taken by finger prick before and after the intervention on each study day will be analyzed for blood glucose concentration and hormones that are linked to food intake and blood glucose levels. In addition, autonomic function will be assessed by heart rate variability analysis of ECG recordings obtained before, during, and after the intervention on each study day.

COMPLETED
Food Intake and Intra-Nasal Insulin for African American Adults (FIINAAL)
Description

The purpose of this research study is to investigate brain insulin's relationship with food intake in African Americans. Facilitating insulin's entrance into the brain through a nasal spray is currently being studied as a way to prevent or treat Alzheimer's disease. However, brain insulin may also have an impact on food intake. This study is designed to help researchers understand how different factors related to Alzheimer's disease (i.e. APOE genotype and cognitive functioning) influence brain insulin's relationship with food intake.

A Study of Rapid-Acting Mealtime Insulin in Children and Adolescents With Newly Diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Description

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a challenging medical disorder, especially in children and adolescents. In order to prevent the chronic complications of hyperglycemia, the maintenance of near-normal glycemic control must be balanced with minimizing hypoglycemia. Although many pediatric endocrinologists provide an ICR plan for their newly diagnosed patients with T1DM, fixed dosing and other forms of insulin delivery are available. This proposal is designed to compare children and adolescents with newly diagnosed T1DM using a fixed insulin dose for fixed carbohydrate mealtime regimen (FIXED group) to children and adolescents with newly diagnosed T1DM using an ICR with variable carbohydrate intake (ICR group) mealtime regimen. In addition to determining the feasibility for a subsequently larger clinical trial, the aims of this investigator-initiated, prospective proposal, is twofold. The first is to determine if the caregivers of diabetics using a fixed insulin for fixed carbohydrate regimen (FIXED group) experience less anxiety than the caregivers of those using an ICR with variable carbohydrate intake regimen (ICR group) at 1- and 4-months post-randomization. The second is to determine if diabetics utilizing a fixed insulin for fixed carbohydrate regimen (FIXED group) have decreased glycemic variability (GV) than those using an ICR with variable carbohydrate intake regimen (ICR group) at 1- and 4-months post-randomization.

Use of NPH Versus Basal Bolus Insulin for Steroid Induced Hyperglycemia
Description

Glucocorticoids are known to cause an increase in insulin resistance, leading to hyperglycemia, in both diabetic and non-diabetic patients. In both the inpatient and outpatient setting, steroids are used for their anti-inflammatory property to treat a variety of conditions. There is a paucity of information regarding the best way to treat steroid-induced hyperglycemia. In this study we will compare (1) the addition of NPH insulin, an intermediate-acting insulin, given at the time of steroid administration to the patient's standard basal/bolus insulin to (2) modification of the standard basal-bolus insulin regimen which will consist primarily increasing the prandial doses at lunch and supper in order to determine which regimen is superior for glycemic control.
