ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how well blood sugar levels, specifically the time patients spend in a healthy range, affect certain immune cells known as monocytes in people with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The researchers want to see if high blood sugar levels lead to problems in the kidneys and if treatment with a specific medication, called a GLP-1 agonist, can help reduce these issues.

To participate in this study, you need to be an adult between the ages of 18 and 65 with T1D and CKD, or a T1D patient without CKD serving as a control. Participants will be divided into two groups based on their blood sugar levels. If you join, you can expect to undergo evaluations to assess your blood sugar control and its effects on your health. The trial is currently not recruiting participants, so it’s important to check back for updates if you’re interested.
