Filter by:Periodontitis, a known complication of diabetes, is an infectious disease that destroys bone and gums. Studies have shown that diabetes favors periodontitis, and that periodontitis contributes to its aggravation. The positive impact of treating periodontitis on the cost of diabetes care has been demonstrated and the French national health system fully covers the treatment of periodontitis for diabetic patients. Unfortunately, 80% of diabetic patients do not visit their dentist enough. Although diabetologists regularly see their patients and are aware of the importance of treating periodontitis,they do not have the expertise to diagnose the condition whereas a specialist dentist can often diagnose it just by looking. This study aims to develop a solution combining the dentist's expertise with that of the diabetologist. This would be based on analysis of a photograph of the patient's oral cavity, taken in the department. So far, no studies have ever evaluated the performance of an expert dentist for diagnosing periodontitis from a simple photograph made by non-dental experts in a diabetic department. The hypothesis is that the concordance in the diagnosis of periodontitis between an indirect method based on a photograph of the oral cavity and a direct method based on clinical examination of this oral cavity (reference) in the diabetic patient would be satisfactory.
This is an open, randomized, controlled trial to determine the impact of an integrative group program on metabolic control and wellbeing perception of patients with T2DM. The integrative group program consists of 6 in-person sessions directed by a health coach and occurring every other week, and 6 asynchronous educative sessions during a period of 12 weeks.
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a common and serious complication of obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). HFpEF occurs when the heart muscle unable to relax efficiently to pump the blood around the body. This leads to fluid build-up, breathlessness and inability to tolerate physical exertion. People who develop HFpEF do less well because treatment options are limited. Pilot data in patients with obesity and diabetes and a small number of patients with HFpEF have shown improvements in exercise capacity and reversal of changes in the heart and blood vessels. This study will assess if this is achievable in a multi-ethnic cohort of patients with established HFpEF. A total of 102 adults will be invited and allocate by chance into two groups: either a 12-week diet or health advice on how to lose weight. The study will determine if weight loss over 12 weeks can improve heart function, symptoms and ability to exercise. Additionally, participants' views on changing their diet and how this has impacted their symptoms will be sought during the study in an optional interview. This will help guide treatments planning in the future to get maximum benefits, and to individualize support to patients from different cultural backgrounds.
The aim of this study is to analyze the effectiveness and efficiency of a multicomponent smoking cessation intervention for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) smokers, including a training protocol on healthy lifestyle habits and self-management of T2DM called "DiMe-SALUD2" project. Overall, 90 patients will be randomly assigned to one of the following conditions: (1) Control Group (waiting list, n = 30), which will only receive brief psychoeducation advice about smoking cessation; (2) Experimental Group 1 - Cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) for smoking cessation (n = 30), where a multicomponent cognitive-behavioral program for quitting will be applied; (3) Experimental Group 2 - CBT for smoking cessation + DiMeSALUD2 protocol (n = 30), where the CBT intervention will be applied plus a training protocol on healthy lifestyle habits and self-management of T2DM. The specific goals of this project are: 1. To evaluate the added efficacy of the psychoeducation protocol on healthy lifestyle habits and self-management of T2DM plus the multicomponent cognitive-behavioral program to quit smoking (CBT for smoking cessation + DiMeSALUD2 protocol), compared to the standard application of this multicomponent program and to the control group. 2. To describe the impact of the CBT for smoking cessation + DiMeSALUD2 protocol on different key variables (explained below). 3. To analyze the efficiency or cost-effectiveness of the CBT for smoking cessation + DiMeSALUD2 program, and the feasibility of implementing this program in the public health system of Andalusia (Spain). 4. To transfer the knowledge generated to the main health professionals involved in the treatment of smokers with T2DM, through specialized training and the dissemination of a clinical manual created for this purpose.
We plan to explore the usability of Generative AI-Chatbot for Diabetic Patient
Magnetic Mitohormesis (MM) replicates the metabolic and regenerative effects of exercise using an equipment called the BIXEPS machine, which introduces magnetic fields to the thigh muscles in a non-invasive and painless manner. Since exercise improves the blood glucose control of patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), we believe that MM can provide the same benefits. This single-arm pilot study investigates the effect of MM therapy on glycemic control in individuals with T2DM.
The purpose of this study is to measure differences in diabetes control with the use of continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and diabetes education compared with standard of care for glucose monitoring (glucometer checks) and diabetes education in participants with diabetes mellitus receiving therapy with insulin and being admitted to Mayo Clinic Advanced Care at Home Program (ACH).
The goal of this observational study has the purpose of collecting biological samples from obese patients undergoing evaluation for weight loss by means of medical or endoscopic therapies; and of post bariatric surgery patients presenting with short- and long-term surgical complications. The aim is to enhance the overall understanding of the mechanisms leading to obesity, weight loss, failure to lose weight, and weight regain following treatment. Additional goals are to determine the efficacy of endoscopic and surgical procedures, to identify potential therapeutic targets and disease biomarkers that predict response to therapy.
The use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in earlier data has inspired behavioral changes leading to improved adherence to an exercise plan in individuals and eating habits in people with diabetes. Mobile health (mHealth) platforms provide satisfactory, easy-to-use tools to help participants in the pursuit of weight change goals. We hypothesize that the use of CGM data and the Signos mHealth platform will assist with weight control in a population of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are not using insulin.
SEMA-VR is a prospective, randomized, 6-month long, open-label study of semaglutide. Approximately 100 participants with type 2 diabetes and/or obesity will be randomized (1:1) to receive semaglutide at escalating doses (up to 1.0 mg/week) or usual care without semaglutide for 6 months. The goal of this trial is to understand how semaglutide exerts cardio-protective effects in people with type 2 diabetes and/or obesity. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does semaglutide treatment preserve or increase the number of vessel-repairing cells circulating in the blood? Participants will: - Be allocated to receive either semaglutide or usual care for 6 months - Provide a blood sample at the baseline visit and another blood sample at the 6-month visit Researchers will compare participants receiving semaglutide to those receiving usual care for any differences in the 6-month change in the number of vessel-repairing cells in the blood.
