NCT01410097
Obesity is associated with physical disability through both direct pathways (e.g., lower extremity pain, insufficient muscle strength) and indirect pathways (obesity-related comorbidities and inflammation). Furthermore, diabetes, a major obesity-related health condition, is associated with increased risk of disability and accelerated declines in physical and cognitive function. The investigators preliminary data suggest that intentional weight loss improves physical function, and there is strong circumstantial evidence that it would also benefit cognitive function. To evaluate the role of intentional weight loss on physical and cognitive function, the investigators propose an ancillary study to the on-going Look AHEAD (Action for Health in Diabetes) trial. Look AHEAD is a multi-center, randomized clinical trial to examine the effects of a 4-year lifestyle intervention designed to achieve and maintain weight loss through decreased caloric intake and exercise in overweight or obese men and women aged 45-74 years with type 2 diabetes. The investigators propose to add validated and well-established measures of physical and cognitive performance to the year 8 follow-up visit - during the trial's weight maintenance phase - in \~1000 participants at 4 of the 16 Look AHEAD field sites (Colorado, Memphis, Pennington and Pittsburgh). The specific aims of this ancillary study are: 1) To determine the long-term effects of a lifestyle intervention designed to achieve and maintain weight loss on physical function; and 2) To determine the long-term effects of a lifestyle intervention designed to achieve and maintain weight loss on cognitive function. In addition, the investigators hypothesize that in the intervention group, larger initial weight loss, better weight loss maintenance, and higher physical activity will be associated with better physical and cognitive function. The investigators also hypothesize that in the control group weight loss will be associated with worse physical and cognitive function than in those who are weight stable or who have gained weight. The number of obese older adults is rising rapidly and there are few data to guide an evidence-based clinical response to their management. The results of this study will provide the first direct evidence of the role of long-term intentional weight loss on the maintenance of physical and cognitive function in older obese adults with diabetes. Since this study is being done as an ancillary study to an on-going trial it can be done in a timely and cost-efficient manner.

NCT02523131
The main study objective is to determine whether day and night automated closed loop glucose control combined with pump suspend feature will improve glucose control and reduce the burden of hypoglycaemia compared to sensor augmented insulin pump therapy alone. This is an open-label, multi-centre, multi-national, single-period, randomised, parallel group design study, involving a three-month period of home study during which day and night glucose levels will be controlled either by a closed loop system combined with pump suspend feature (intervention group) or by sensor augmented insulin pump therapy (control group). It is expected that up to 100 subjects, aiming for 84 randomised subjects \[42 youth (6 to 21 years), and 42 adults (22 years and older)\], with type 1 diabetes will be recruited through paediatric and adult outpatient diabetes clinics in each of the investigation centres. Subjects who drop out within the first four weeks of the intervention may be replaced. Participants will all be on subcutaneous insulin pump therapy and will have proven competencies both in the use of the study insulin pump and the study CGM device. Subjects in the intervention group will receive appropriate training in the safe use of closed loop insulin delivery system and pump suspend feature. All subjects will have regular contact with the study team during the home study phase including 24/7 telephone support. The primary outcome is between group differences in the time spent in the target glucose range from 3.9 to 10.0 mmol/l (70 to 180mg/dl) based on CGM glucose levels during the 12 week free living phase. Secondary outcomes are HbA1 at the end of treatment period, the time spent with glucose levels above and below target, as recorded by CGM, and other CGM-based metrics. Safety evaluation comprises assessment of the frequency of severe hypoglycaemic episodes.
