Filter by:The study will investigate the efficacy, safety, tolerability and Pharmacokinetic(PK) of 3 doses of empagliflozin compared with placebo over 26 weeks in 960 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus as adjunctive therapy to insulin
This study will evaluate the effect of circadian misalignment on insulin sensitivity in healthy lean subjects in a randomized cross-over design. Subjects will be admitted to the research facility for two study periods of 3 and 3.5 days. In one of the study periods, the behavioral cycle will be shifted by 12 hours. Insulin sensitivity will be measured with a hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp.
Diabetic eye disease causes major vision loss in many Canadians and is costly. There are effective preventions and treatments for diabetic eye disease but they strongly depend upon regular screening in asymptomatic patients. The 2013 Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA) guidelines recommend annual screening by eye care professionals, either in-person or through interpretation of dilated pupil retinal photographs. Despite the benefits of screening, adherence to these guidelines is poor. Reasons include patient barriers, i.e. need for eye drops, time off work, wait times, and transportation issues. An option to minimize these barriers is to screen using a camera called non-mydriatic ultra-widefield (UWF) retinal imaging. This can be quickly done without eye drops on the same day as patients' regularly scheduled diabetes clinic visits. In this study, the investigators will compare the UWF camera to the usual screening approach recommended by the CDA. The investigators will invite 740 patients with diabetes due for eye screening to either be screened using the UWF camera on the day of their diabetes clinic visit or be screened by their usual eye care professional. The investigators' prediction is that same-day screening with UWF imaging will find more patients with diabetic eye disease who need treatment compared to usual screening.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of two novel interventions; (1) a value-based formulary which eliminates copayment for selected high-value medications (proven to prevent heart attacks, stroke, and hospitalizations); and (2) a comprehensive patient education program aimed at lifestyle modification and optimal drug use, combined with relay of information on medication use, on the risk of adverse clinical outcomes (mortality, heart attack, stroke, need for coronary revascularization, and chronic disease related hospitalizations) in low-income seniors with chronic conditions over three years of follow-up or until March 31, 2021 (whichever comes first).
To evaluate clinical effectiveness and safety of Singaporean Type 2 Diabetes mellitus patients administered SGLT 2 inhibitor monotherapy or in combination with other commonly used hypoglycaemic drugs in real life clinical settings. To evaluate real life clinical effectiveness and safety of Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter inhibitor- 2 in Singaporean Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients treated on an outpatient basis in clinical practice setting. The study would also assess treatment patterns with SGLT2 inhibitor patient relevant outcomes in whole population as well as pre identified patient subgroups. Primary analysis to be done at 1 year and extended analysis at 2 years.
PregSource uses a crowd-sourcing approach, asking pregnant women to enter information regularly and directly about their pregnancies throughout gestation and the early infancy of their babies into online surveys and trackers via a website and/or mobile application ("app"). In exchange, participants can track their data over time, print out reports to share with their healthcare team, and see how they compare to other women. In addition, PregSource will provide participants with links to trusted, evidence-based information about pregnancy management, issues, and complications.

The main aim of the present study is to evaluate the prevalence of individual microvascular and macrovascular complications among diabetes mellitus patients and to determine the percentage of diabetes mellitus patients achieved HbA1c<7,0%.
During surgery and after surgery elevated blood glucose levels can lead to poor outcome such as wound infections. Current technology does not allow close monitoring of glucose levels often resulting in poor management of glucose levels. In this study, the investigators will evaluate the feasibility of using a continuous glucose monitor (Dexcom Gen 6 Professional) during and after surgery. Such a monitor has the potential of monitoring glucose levels continuously and in real-time, thus allowing better glucose management
African American men infected with HIV are living longer and are acquiring the same chronic non-communicable diseases affecting the general population of African American men age 40 years and older. African American men have disproportionately high rates of cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, kidney disease, and cancer, particularly prostate and colon cancer, but HIV is associated with an increased risk for co-morbidity from these conditions, a risk heightened by not only HIV infection itself, but also its treatment with antiretroviral therapy (ART). The risk for many of these chronic diseases is tied to behavior: risk is increased by physical inactivity and unhealthful diet. Although the high risk for behavior-linked chronic diseases among HIV-positive individuals has been recognized, there is a lack of evidence-based interventions specifically tailored to their needs. Hence, the broad objective of this research is to identify strategies to empower HIV positive African American men to engage in behaviors that reduce their risk of chronic diseases. This research will test the efficacy of a theory-based, contextually appropriate health promotion intervention in inducing positive changes in behaviors linked to risk of chronic diseases among HIV positive African American men age 40 years or older and will identify the theoretical variables that mediate its efficacy. In a randomized controlled trial, African American HIV positive men age 40 or older who are receiving ART for HIV will be randomized to the Men Together Making a Difference Health Promotion Intervention, which consists of three, 3-hour weekly intervention sessions, or the 1 session Health Awareness Control Group. The Men Together Making a Difference Health Promotion Intervention is based on social cognitive theory and the reasoned action approach integrated with formative research. Data will be collected at baseline, immediately post, and 3, 6 and 12 months post intervention. The trial will test whether the Men Making a Difference Health Promotion Intervention increases self-reported physical activity compared with the Health Awareness Control Group.
The aim of the study is to compare the effects of prebiotics versus placebo on blood concentrations of glucagon-like peptide-1 in subjects with diabetes type 2.
