Filter by:The aim of the study is to investigate, if resistant starch type III increases butyrate-producing bacteria in the gut of (pre-) diabetic subjects. Diabetic blood parameters are also of interest.
This study will be conducted in participants with type 1 diabetes mellitus to investigate how the human body processes LY900014, a new blood sugar lowering insulin, and its effect on blood sugar levels when it is delivered via an insulin pump. Side effects and tolerability will be documented. The study will last about 4 to 11 weeks for each participant.
There is growing evidence that central blood pressure is a better predictor of hypertensive end-organ damage and cardiovascular outcome than routine brachial readings. The investigators aimed to evaluate the accuracy of a novel device for the non-invasive determination of central blood pressure based on automated oscillometric radial pulse wave analysis.
This study are to: - Evaluate effect of magnetic therapy on peripheral neuropathy in diabetic patients. - Evaluate effect of laser therapy on peripheral neuropathy in diabetic patients. - Compare effects of magnetic therapy with that of laser therapy on peripheral neuropathy in diabetic patients.
High-risk obstetrical patient Intervention to promote Birth Interval Spacing utilizing the Contraceptive CHOICE project script to reduce Unintended Subsequent pregnancies (HIBISCUS) is a collaborative study utilizing qualitative methods to assess the acceptability including a family planning specialist's postpartum contraception counseling during and after prenatal care among Latina obstetric women with pre-gestational diabetes. The investigators will compare the effectiveness of HIBISCUS versus usual contraceptive counseling on Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) use at 3 months postpartum.
It has been suggested that mitochondrial dysfunction might play a role in the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. From animal studies, it has been suggested that an altered PPAR and PGC1 expression is involved in the reduced cardiac mitochondrial function, however human data on cardiac mitochondrial function and PPAR regulation is scarce. The latter is due to the fact that there is no validated measurement for assessing cardiac mitochondrial function non-invasively in vivo. It has been suggested that measuring PCr/ATP ratio with 31P-MRS in the heart reflects cardiac mitochondrial function. However, so far no direct validation of this method has been performed. The aim of this study will be to validate in vivo 31P-MRS with ex vivo measurements of mitochondrial function. To this end, the hypothesis is that in vivo 31P-MRS is a valid method for measuring cardiac mitochondrial function when compared with ex vivo mitochondrial respirometry.
Original research article entitled Induced and Controlled Dietary Ketosis as a Regulator of Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome by Madeline Gibas for consideration for publication in a clinical journal. This research manuscript builds on previous landmark studies that report that major weight and fat mass loss in type II (T2D) patients who were fed a very low carbohydrate, ketogenic diet. In this manuscript, the investigators outline our research study that showed statistically significant (p < 0.05) changes over time in hemoglobin A1c, weight, BMI, body fat percentage and ketones for patients with metabolic syndrome who were fed a very low carbohydrate diet, ketogenic diet.
Integration of Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) and Diabetes Self Management Program (DSMP) into WellConnect.
The purpose of this study is to determine the interrelationship between cachexia, neural invasion and diabetes in patients with pancreatic cancer. Thus the investigators propose to identify the protein expression levels of Activin and Midkine in plasma of patients with different stages of pancreatic adenocarcinoma compared with healthy patients and to evaluate the possible correlation with diabetes, tumor size and tumor stage.
In this project the investigators examined the impact of diabetes self-management education using text messaging on increasing awareness of CVD risk perception, dietary intake, physical activity, and diabetes self-management among adults with type 2 diabetes using a quasi experimental design. The study sample included 79 adult type 2 diabetes patients (30 years or older). The recruited adult type 2 diabetes patients were assigned into the intervention group (40 participants) and control group (39 participants). The intervention group received 3 messages weekly consisting of nutrition education and diabetes self-management information and skills for 3 months (12 weeks). The messages consisted of information on how to increase fruits and vegetables and reduce high-fat and sugary foods intake, increase the availability of fruits and vegetables and reduce high-fat and sugary foods in the home, strategies to increase diabetes self-management skills, and awareness of cardiovascular disease risk perception and knowledge. The text messages were derived from the American Association of Diabetes Educator (AADE) handouts ("Reducing Risks", "Monitoring", "Healthy Coping", "Problem Solving", "Taking Medication", "Healthy Eating", and "Exercise") Text messages were positive and motivating and included a link to a specific AADE7 handout that allows participants to open and retrieve the specific AADE7 handout. The control group did not receive text messages. The participants (both intervention and control group) completed surveys at baseline (before study begins) and at the conclusion of the study (at three month of the intervention) about their dietary and lifestyle habits, diabetes self-care management activities, and awareness of cardiovascular diseases. We collected also collect patient's self-report Hemoglobin A1C values at baseline and at the conclusion of the study (at three month of the intervention).
