Filter by:The purpose of the study is to learn about the best way to enhance pharmacy-related care for diabetes self-management. This research is being done because we want to improve use of medicines and diabetes management among Black and Hispanic adults with type 2 diabetes and find out which of type of support may improve diabetes self-management for Black and Hispanic adults. Participants will be assigned to one of 4 groups, and will either: - receive care as usual; or, - receive added medicine management support from a pharmacist; or, - receive support from a Community Health Worker (CHW) to address life challenges; or, - receive both the pharmacist medicine management and the CHW support
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate of the effect of phenofibrate on the functions of beta cells in children with new diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. The main question it aims to answer is: whether phenofibrate may prolong residual beta-cell function therefore own insulin secretion. Participants will be asked to take a phenofibrate or identically appearing placebo (a neutral substance), orally, once daily, for 12 months with no knowledge what is administred to them. They will be invited for follow-up visits including blood tests every 3 months. Researchers will be monitoring the two groups for the safety of the phenofibrate, and at the trial end they compare the residual insulin secretion results in two groups.
The goal of this observational study is to compare glycemic control and irisin levels in subjects with diabetes mellitus type 2 with sarcopenic obesity vs non-sarcopenic obesity. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is glycemic control worse in diabetic patients with sarcopenic obesity? Are irisin levels higher in patients with non-sarcopenic obesity? Participants will be asked to: - Fill in three questionaries on lifestyle - Perform two physical performance tests The investigators will collect the following data: - Anthropometric measurements - Body composition by bioelectrical impedance analysis. - Results of routine blood analyses - Irisin levels by drawing a vial of blood from the antecubital vein
A family dyad-focused diabetes self-management for African American adults with type 2 diabetes is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) that aims to test the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of a family-dyad focused intervention on glycemic control (hemoglobin A1c) and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in African American adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Evaluating gastric volume in patients on GLP-1 RA medications
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a complex metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia and abnormalities in carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism. It is one of the most prevalent metabolic disorders globally. Despite the advancement in anti-diabetic drug therapy, most patients fail to achieve optimal glycemic control. therefore, there is a large unmet need to develop new strategies to improve the therapeutic outcomes in diabetic patients. This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of ursodeoxycholic acid as adjunctive therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effects of a ketogenic diet on the progression and control of type 1 diabetes in children with newly diagnosed diabetes. The main questions to answer are: - Does a ketogenic diet prolong the honeymoon period of type 1 diabetes? - Does a ketogenic diet improve diabetes control? - Is a ketogenic diet safe, acceptable and sustainable in children with newly diagnosed diabetes? - What are the microbiome, inflammatory and metabolic changes linking diet to β-cell function? Participants will receive a combination of free meals, groceries, micronutrient supplements, and intensive diet and diabetes education for 9 months. - Diabetes care devices will be connected for cloud-based data collection. - Bi-weekly data downloads and remote check-ins will assess dietary intake, satisfaction with diet and study procedures, and possible safety concerns. - During five study visits held at at baseline, 1, 5, 9 and 24 months, an intravenous catheter (IV) will be placed for collection of 5 blood samples before and up to 2 hours after a liquid test meal (protein shake) to assess insulin response. A stool sample will also be collected to assess microbiome changes. - Children and their caregivers will participate in a semi-structured interview, and online questionnaires to assess their experience with the diet and diabetes care, general well-being and quality of life. Comparison will be made between a ketogenic vs standard diet.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the impact of participation in Eat Well for diabetes patients who are at risk of food insecurity. The main questions it aims to answer are: - whether there is a difference in Haemoglobin (Hb) A1c measurements and emergency department (ED) utilization between the Eat Well and control groups up to 18 months post-program completion. - whether there are differences in cardiometabolic health-related outcomes for Eat Well participants. Participants in the program will receive gift/debit cards for fruits and vegetables and educational nutrition materials. Researchers will compare Eat Well participants with those only receiving educational materials to see if there are differences in cardiometabolic health outcomes.
The goal of this clinical trial is to reduce inflammation and improve glycemic control in healthy volunteers, parents, as well as children, adolescents and adults with or without diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are: • does a reduction wheat gluten improve glycemic control and/or inflammatory biomarkers • does a reduction in certain amino acids (which is most common in wheat gluten) improve glycemic control and/or inflammatory biomarkers • can we identify individuals with an inflammatory response, which leads to poor glycemic control. Participants will eat gluten-free products as well as similar products containing gluten. They will also eat gluten together with probiotics to see if an effect of gluten can be reduced. Researchers will compare everyone with themselves (cross-over design) and if possible individuals with and without diabetes.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the use and effectiveness of a mobile web application (app) that is designed to educate and allow patients to manage diabetes and make sustainable lifestyle changes, and to study the impact of the app on clinical outcomes of diabetes (HA1C) and educational outcomes (Self-Efficacy for Diabetes Scale). The main question to answer is: Does the use of the Diabetes Application significantly affect clinical outcomes of diabetes and cardiometabolic risk factors (BMI and Blood Pressure)? Patients will be enrolled in one of two available arms of the study. Participants in the 'intervention arm' will use the app to view educational information presented as videos in the following areas: Healthy Coping, Healthy Eating, Staying Active, Medications (Use and Safety), Problem Solving in Diabetes and Disease Pathophysiology. They will continue routine follow-up care with their primary care physicians during the study. Participants in the 'control arm' will continue with their primary care physician in routine follow-up care, as normally scheduled. Researchers will compare the intervention arm participants to the control arm participants to find out about and compare changes in HA1C, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and body mass index. Groups will also be compared on the basis of self-perceived confidence of managing their diabetes by way of the Diabetes Self Efficacy Scale.
