Type 1 diabetes clinical trials in New York

This is a 17 - week study consisting of a one - week run - in period and a 16 - week intervention. The 16 - week pilot interventions aims to increase hydration in those beginning GLP - 1 RA therapy. Investigators aim to increase hydration to potentially decrease side effect severity, amount of side effects, and drug discontinuation associated with GLP - 1 RA therapy. The investigators are piloting to assess feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the intervention through examining participant retention, participant feedback, researcher and participant adherence to protocols, impact on hydration biomarkers, and participant reported GLP - 1 RA side effects.

The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) Research Institute is performing this research to accelerate diverse disease research using cells from the body (such as skin or blood cells) to make stem cells and other types of cells, conduct research on the samples, perform genetic testing, and store the samples for future use. Through this research, researchers hope to identify future treatments or even cures for the major diseases of our time.

This is a prospective, interventional, cohort study, meaning that researchers will follow and observe a group of enrolled study participants over a period of time (one to two months) to gather information and record any developments of the outcomes in question. This study will recruit 125 participants with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) to: 1. Analyze the effect of reducing the cholesterol levels in the blood on platelet function. (Platelets are small cells in the blood which help form blood clots to slow or stop bleeding and to help wounds heal 2. Analyze the effect of reducing the cholesterol levels in the blood on While Blood Cell (WBC) gene expression, (White Blood Cells are part of the body's immune system which help the body fight infection and other diseases) and 3. Analyze the effect of reducing the cholesterol levels in the blood on vascular or blood vessel function.
