  • Developing and Testing a Self-Compassion Tool Kit to Improve the Care of Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    There is a high prevalence of anxiety and depression in patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). While past studies demonstrate the potential therapeutic effect of mindfulness-based interventions in patients with T2D, little is understood about the mode of delivery or quantity of the intervention necessary to experience benefits. This project aims to develop and implement a self-compassion tool kit based on the principles of mindfulness and meditation to better understand how self-compassion works to affect psychological health and wellbeing in patients with T2D. The investigators will study the impact of a self-compassion tool kit - including mindfulness meditation, exercise, journaling and sleep parameters - on T2D. Enhancing emotional well-being could complement current T2D treatments to facilitate improved quality of life.

  • Test Vicadrostat (BI 690517) Taken Together With Empagliflozin in People With Type 2 Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, and Cardiovascular Disease

    Sorry, not currently recruiting here

    This study is open to adults with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease. People can join the study if they have these conditions and do not have a history of heart failure. The purpose of this study is to find out if a medicine called vicadrostat, when taken with empagliflozin, helps reduce cardiovascular risk in people with these conditions. The study will compare this combination to a placebo version of vicadrostat with empagliflozin. Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. One group takes vicadrostat and empagliflozin tablets, and the other group takes placebo tablets with empagliflozin. Placebo tablets look like vicadrostat tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants take a tablet once per day for 2 and a half years and up to 4 years and 3 months. All participants also continue their medication for type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease. Participants have an equal chance of receiving the study medicine or placebo. Participants are in the study for up to 4 years and 3 months. During this time, they visit the study site regularly. During these visits, doctors collect information about participants' health and take blood samples. The doctors document when participants experience cardiovascular events. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

  • Artificial Intelligence-based Methods to Predict Disease Progression in Youth With Type 2 Diabetes

    Sorry, not yet accepting patients

    Currently, clinicians are unable to predict a patient's risk of long-term disease progression and development of a long-term complication based on the data that is available to them. The first aim of this is to develop and validate an Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered prediction model for Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) disease progression using existing data from previously collected studies and real-world electronic health medical data. Investigators will use clinical, pharmacologic, and genomic factors to develop the prediction model based on the most relevant clinical outcomes of change in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and the development of a microvascular complication. Despite the availability of newer medication options, lifestyle intervention is not effective in most youth and current therapeutic options are ineffective at producing sustained glycemic control. Newer and innovative methods are needed to identify the youth at highest risk of progression in terms of increase in HbA1c and development of long-term complications and to motivate behavioral change in youth. The goal of this aim is to create an AI-powered digital twin model for 50 youth with T2D using their baseline clinical, genetic, pharmacologic and lifestyle data and utilize AI algorithms developed in Aim 1 to simulate disease progression and treatment response. Investigators will then evaluate the digital twin model in an randomized controlled trail and prospectively compare the generated digital twin data to observed values over one year. Investigators will also measure whether knowledge of the digital twin prediction with targeted healthcare recommendations influence medication and lifestyle change adherence in the digital twin arm (n= 25) compared to the control arm (n= 25).

  • Food Referrals for Equity and Sustained Health

    Sorry, not yet accepting patients

    Food insecurity (FI) disproportionately affects those who have been historically marginalized and significantly contributes to poor health outcomes. In children, FI is associated with lower psychosocial functioning and academic achievement. It also contributes to the development of adverse health outcomes such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), cardiovascular disease (CVD), and Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD). Improving the diet quality of children (e.g., decreasing fat intake, increasing fruits and vegetables (FV) and fiber intake) has been associated with lower fasting serum glucose, insulin, LDL cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol, and reduced risk of CVD later in life. Increasing awareness and access to programs that promote food equity by providing affordable healthy produce is a promising way to improve health outcomes and empower patients and communities to achieve better health and well-being. The goal of this proposal is to refine and optimize implementation strategies that connect families to community-based food security nutrition support programs through health care systems or medical clinics. The investigators will develop a multi-disciplinary, cross-sector collaboration to optimize current processes and workflows that integrate food security nutrition support programs into the healthcare system. The investigators will also work to develop a closed-loop communication system between the healthcare and healthy food access systems to support greater patient autonomy and self-efficacy to obtain, prepare, and consume healthy foods.
