Background: A composite metric for the quality of glycemia from continuous glucose monitor (CGM) tracings could be useful assisting with basic clinical interpretation CGM data. Methods: We assembled a data set 14-day 225 insulin-treated adults diabetes. Using balanced incomplete block design, 330 clinicians who were highly experienced analysis and ranked best to worst glycemia. used principal component multiple regressions develop model predict clinician ranking based on seven standard...
An error grid compares measured versus reference glucose concentrations to assign clinical risk values observed errors. Widely used grids for blood monitors (BGMs) have limited value because they do not also reflect accuracy of continuous (CGMs).
Summary Background TZP‐101 is a synthetic, selective ghrelin agonist in development for gastroparesis. Aim To assess safety and effects of diabetes patients with symptomatic Methods Adults type 1 or 2 mellitus received placebo (80, 160, 320 600 μg/kg) infusions cross‐over manner following radiolabelled meal. Blood glucose levels were stabilized using hyperinsulinemic‐euglycemic clamp. Primary endpoints gastric half emptying latency times. Secondary measures included assessment gastroparesis...
Background Gastroparesis, a chronic disorder of abnormal gastric motility, is common in patients with diabetes mellitus. A synthetic, selective ghrelin receptor agonist, TZP-101, clinical development for treatment gastroparesis. This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study evaluated the safety and efficacy multiple TZP-101 doses moderate to severe symptomatic diabetic Methods Patients were admitted hospital adaptively randomized receive single 30-min intravenous infusion 20, 40,...
There is limited evidence on how intensive multifactorial treatment (IT) improves outcomes of diabetes when initiated in the lead time between detection by screening and diagnosis routine clinical practice. We examined effects early IT type 2 primary care prevalence diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) arterial disease (PAD) 6 years later a pragmatic, cluster-randomized parallel group trial.A stepwise program 190 general practices Denmark was used to identify 1,533 people with diabetes....
Abstract Background TZP ‐102, a potent, oral, ghrelin receptor agonist, improved diabetic gastroparesis symptoms in Phase 2a. Methods Patients with type 1 or 2 diabetes, delayed gastric half‐emptying (T 1/2 ), and ≥3 months randomized : to double‐blind placebo, 10‐mg, 20‐mg ‐102 once daily for 12 weeks (Study ‐102‐ CL ‐G003). Study ‐G004 patients 10‐mg ‐102:placebo three‐times‐daily. Primary endpoint was change‐from‐baseline through Weeks 11–12 Daily Diary of Gastroparesis Symptoms...
Abstract Background Gastroparesis causes significant morbidity and treatment options are limited. TZP‐102 a novel, macrocyclic, selective, oral ghrelin receptor agonist, was evaluated in randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial patients with diabetic gastroparesis. Methods A total of 92 outpatients were randomized to once‐daily administrations 10‐mg ( n = 22), 20‐mg 21), 40‐mg 23) or placebo 26). The primary endpoint the change from baseline gastric half‐emptying time T ½ )...
Summary Aims Observations are made on four Type 1 diabetic patients with the rare syndrome of intractable vomiting from confirmed gastroparesis, to determine whether radical surgery would alleviate their symptoms and subsequently examine in detail gastric histopathology. Methods The surgical approach consisted an ≈ 70% resection stomach, including antrum pylorus, closure duodenum restoration gastrointestinal continuity a 60‐cm Roux‐en‐Y jejunal loop. Four longstanding were examined treated...
Aliment Pharmacol Ther 2011; 33: 679–688 Summary Background Limited therapeutic options exist for severe gastroparesis, where nausea and vomiting can lead to weight loss, dehydration malnutrition due inadequate caloric fluid intake. TZP-101 (ulimorelin) is a ghrelin receptor agonist that accelerates gastric emptying improves upper gastrointestinal symptoms in diabetic patients with gastroparesis. Aim To assess effects of gastroparesis nausea/vomiting baseline severity scores ≥3.5 (range:...
This study evaluates whether diffusion tensor imaging magnetic resonance neurography (DTI-MRN), T2 relaxation time, and proton spin density can detect grade neuropathic abnormalities in patients with type 1 diabetes. Patients diabetes (n = 49) were included—11 severe polyneuropathy (sDPN), 13 mild (mDPN), 25 without (nDPN)—along 30 healthy control subjects (HCs). Clinical examinations, nerve conduction studies, vibratory perception thresholds determined the presence severity of DPN. DTI-MRN...
Abstract Aims To evaluate physical activity in people with newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetes using objective measures. Methods We analysed data from a study aimed at assessing carotid femoral pulse wave velocity which piezoelectric accelerometer was worn by 100 and age‐ sex‐matched control subjects. Differences patterns were investigated. Results Compared the group, spent significantly more time engaged sedentary or lower level activities during day, mean ( sd ) of 926 (44) vs 898 (70) min, P...
To evaluate if diffusion tensor imaging MR neurography (DTI-MRN) can detect lesions of peripheral nerves in patients with type 1 diabetes.Eleven diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN), 10 without (nDPN), and healthy controls (HC) were investigated a 3T MRI scanner. Clinical examinations, nerve-conduction studies, vibratory-perception thresholds determined the presence DPN. DTI-MRN (voxel size: 1.4 × 3 mm3 ; b-values: 0, 800 s/mm2 ) covered proximal (sciatic nerve) distal regions lower extremity...
OBJECTIVE—This study examines whether autonomic nerve autoantibodies (ANabs) are associated with development of neuropathy using a prospective design. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—A group type 1 diabetic patients were followed prospectively regard to function on four occasions. At the third examination, 41 tested for ANabs (complement-fixing sympathetic ganglion, vagus nerve, and adrenal medulla), results related cardiac (heart rate variation during deep breathing [expiration/inspiration...

In this study we aimed to investigate the functional connectivity of brain regions involved in sensory processing diabetes with and without painful painless diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) association nerve function pain intensity.In cross-sectional used resting-state MRI (fMRI) 19 individuals type 1 DPN, 18 20 healthy control subjects. Seed-based analyses were performed for thalamus, postcentral gyrus, insula, z scores correlated measurements scores.Overall, compared those DPN...
Abstract Introduction Previous studies suggest that cognitive impairment is more prevalent in individuals with painful and painless diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). However, the current evidence not well described. This study investigated function adults type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) association to painful/painless DPN clinical parameters. Methods cross‐sectional, observational, case–control included 58 participants T1DM, sub‐grouped into 20 T1DM DPN, 19 without healthy controls were...
