Genetics and prediction of type 2 diabetes:

• – Establishment of a computerized database (clinical and medical history, social-economic and biological data) and a DNA bank (6,000 patients) under the management of Prof. Froguel’s team in Lille, France.
• Sponsor of the Descendants program aimed at validating a method for detecting glycemic abnormalities at different ages in the children of people with type 2 diabetes.

Innovative technologies:

• Sponsor of clinical studies.
• Founding member of Diabeloop, a French consortium for the development of an artificial pancreas for glycemia control in diabetic patients.
• Modeling of postprandial glycemia in type 2 diabetes patients.
• Modeling of glycemia during different levels of physical activity.

Epidemiological cohort monitoring:

• Prospective monitoring of patients treated by insulin pumps in the southern Greater Paris area.
• European collaborative study to assess the quality of type 2 diabetes management and its coherence with existing recommendations in eight European countries.

Telemedicine:

• Development of algorithms to automatically calculate insulin doses; decision-making support and patient coaching via electronic blood glucose journals for type 1 (at the origin of the Diabéo system) and type 2 diabetes patients.
• Development of a shared information system for health professionals (ePEP software) permitting telemedical monitoring of patients using electronic blood glucose journals.

• COLLABORATION / CHAIRE

  Numerous collaborations over many projects in the fields of type 2 diabetes genetics and maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY):
  – development of innovative technologies,
  – scientific, industrial,
  – pharmacological and institutional collaborations,
  – reorganization of care provision.
