Filter by:The current study focuses on terms of use of Insulin Aspart, fast analogue of human insulin and commonly used in the treatment of type 1 diabetes, where it obtained the marketing authorization for this indication. In the patient who have an insulin pump, insulin Aspart is given daily like a pre-prandial bolus (just before the meal). However, many patients perform their bolus after the meal. However this insulin administration modality is not clearly studied in the literature.
T2D and cognitive impairment are two of the most common chronic condition found in persons 60 years and older. Diabetes type 2 increases with age and studies suggest that the diabetes is one of the risk factor for cognitive impairment and dementia. Although there is much recent research showing that diabetics at every age have more cognitive impairment and dementia than non-diabetics, relatively little attention has been paid to the implications of this complication in the management of T2D in terms of screening, prevention, education and treatment adherence. There are now guidelines for periodic evaluation of patients with diabetes as early detection of complications of the disease, but so far there are no similar assessment and monitoring of cognitive function. In this study the investigators examine cognitive function in young diabetic patients (from 20 to 55) using the MoCa test, that allows detection of mild cognitive impairment, and may be carried out during a visit, an annual advisory diabetes clinic.
Diabetes mellitus (DM) plays an important role in the occurrence of the cerebral infarction (CI). Clinical studies have demonstrated that the CI patients with DM had a poor prognosis compared with those without DM. Previous magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have shown that patients with DM had abnormalities in cerebral vessels, nerves and functions, similar with the findings in mice models. In this study, with multi-modal MRI technologies, investigators tend to observe structural and functional changes of the brain in both DM and non-DM CI patients and assess their neural rehabilitation using clinical scales in the following 6 months. Investigators also expect to find out dynamic changes of brain structure and function, to reveal the weights of factors including brain blood vessels, nerves and function remodeling related with stroke recovery, as well as the potential mechanism in CI patients with DM.
The purpose of this study is to compare the blood glucose control, glycaemic fluctuation and oxidative stress for Type 2 Diabetes between two therapies, one is glargine combined with oral drugs and the other is continuous subcutaneous insulin injection.
Assess postpartum diabetes screening in GDM patients with initiation of a reminder system in the postpartum period
This is a prospective, intervention, randomized, phase IV study. Patients will be included with 60 years or older, both sexes, with HbA1c >8.5% using oral antidiabetics agents and insulin and then we will be randomized by use syringe or pens device to use insulin NPH and regular. All patients will receive a blood glucose monitor, lancet tapes, capillary blood glucose tests (3 tests/day). HbA1c will be measured at baseline, 3 and 6 months. Patients will see monthly.
Lipoprotein (a) [Lp (a)] is an independent cardiovascular risk (CVR) both in the general population and in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM-2). Until now no effective treatment is known to decrease the levels of Lp (a) levels and thus achieve a reduction of CVR. Among the new antidiabetic drugs are GLP-1Receptor agonists(GLP-1R). In addition to lowering blood glucose, these drugs have other beneficial effects. In our laboratory we have demonstrated that both native GLP-1 and various GLP-1R agonsits reduce the synthesis of Lp (a) in hepatocytes. The objective of the study is to test in humans the results observed in vitro. We will analyze whether treatment with GLP-1R agonists (Liraglutide, Exenatide or Lixisenatida) will reduce serum levels of Lp (a) in patients with DM-2.
The purpose of the trial is to investigate the effects of three months' treatment with a CPAP-device versus control group on change in arterial stiffness in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with newly detected Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA).
Efficacy and Safety of Lobeglitazone versus Sitagliptin in inadequately controlled by Metformin alone Type 2 Diabetes mellitus Patients with Metabolic syndrome.
This study aims to use tissue from deceased organ donors to investigate organ physiology, developmental biology, as well as the development of future regenerative cellular therapies. It will investigate function and immune response to stem cells as well as their generation from adult cells and generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
