Diabetes Prevention Trials |
||||
The Diabetes Prevention Trial is a national study to test if it's possible to prevent Type 1 diabetes. This DPT-1 study is still
recruiting for its oral insulin study. The injected insulin study (a separate study, but nevertheless the other half of the DPT-1) reported out in 2001 and was not successful. The URLs include
A study to prevent type 2 diabetes, called the Diabetes Prevention Program, has been concluded. It reported out a year early in August 2001 because its findings strongly conclude that type 2 diabetes can be delayed and possibly prevented by either lifestyle changes or medication.The URL is |

They are recruiting about 6000 families with a history of type 1 diabetes and expecting a baby. When babies are weaned from breastfeeding, they will receive infant formulas that contain no, or a reduced amount of, intact foreign food proteins typically found in baby formulas. TRIGR will enroll babies from across 17 countries. Recruitment will span two years, with follow-up for 10 years.

- The AIDA diabetes simulator development team has started a novel research
program to evaluate the educational usefullness of the freeware AIDA
diabetes simulator in small group diabetes clinic teaching sessions. The
approach involves making use of the diabetes simulator as a computer-based
"interactive blackboard" during diabetes education lessons. A randomized
controlled trial approach is being used where half a group of patients
receive lessons with the diabetes simulator and the other half receive
lessons with more standard (non-computer based) lectures. So far the
approach has only been tested with 24 patients, however a larger scale
study is planned, and any diabetes educators or
endocrinologists who might be interested in running such a study locally in
their own clinic(s) are invited to contact the AIDA authors via the AIDA
Web site. Further information about the freely available protocol and study
