Filter by:The objectives are to test the acute effects of different extruded pulse snacks on: 1) post-prandial blood glucose, insulin and appetite for two hours, and 2) food intake two hours following consumption of pulse products. The investigators hypothesize that snack products containing pulse ingredients will lead to lower blood glucose, insulin, appetite and food intake responses compared to non-pulse snack products.
This quasi-experimental study aim to evaluate the effect of moderate aerobic exercise on glucose and lipid metabolism as well as the scales of anxiety and depression and levels of salivary cortisol in women with type 2 diabetes.
South Asians have a much higher risk of diabetes compared to Europeans and investigators don't know why this is. Investigators think that South Asians' capacity to store fat safely under the skin is lower than Europeans, so they start to store fat around internal organs and in liver and muscle, and at lower body weights than Europeans. These increased levels of internal fat storage are thought to increase risk of diabetes. The purpose of the study therefore is to investigate whether there are differences with weight gain and weight loss in fat storage, fat cell function and metabolic risk factors, in South Asians compared with Europeans. Investigators will compare South Asian and European men at the start of the study, after they have gained about 7% body weight, and again after they have lost 7-15% body weight (from peak weight) to see how gaining and losing weight affects fat storage within the body and the function of fat cells. Investigators will also assess the effect of weight gain and weight loss on metabolism, fitness and risk factors for diabetes and heart disease.
This project is an initiative to bring physicians, nurses, community pharmacists and patients together in collaborative planning in the management of diabetes, which aligns with the collaborative, team based aspects of family medicine as a community based discipline. Alberta funds both physicians and community pharmacists to complete a comprehensive assessment and plan for patients with qualifying medical conditions. Our research hypothesis is that a collaborative approach between healthcare providers involved in delivering care will improve individual patient outcomes with the primary outcome being improved glycemic control. Health care utilization and medication adherence will also be assessed. This project will compare the results of comprehensive annual health care plans implemented over a period of twelve months with or without involvement from community pharmacists. It is hypothesized that involvement of community pharmacists and their collaboration with physicians will lead to improved outcomes.
The hypoglycemic effect of Momordica Charantia has been evaluated in clinical trials in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Important reductions in fasting plasma glucose, glycated hemoglobin (A1C), and fructosamine were observed. It is unknown whether this improvement is due to an improvement in insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the administration of Momordica Charantia on insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Patients with diabetes are at increased risk of developing heart failure (HF) which can lead to increased shortness of breath, reduced ability to exercise and in some cases premature death as the heart becomes less efficient at pumping blood around the body. However the treatment options for such patients remain limited. This study will test the safety and benefits of using a new class of drug, the SGLT2 Inhibitor (Dapagliflozin), in treating HF and diabetes. Participants will have a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan of the heart, to measure the efficiency and the extent of thickening of the heart muscle before they start on treatment of dapagliflozin, or placebo for one year. They will also do exercise testing on an exercise bike (if capable) and a walking test plus fill in some questionnaires on how their heart failure affects their quality of life. Participants will then continue as normal with currently prescribed medication for their diabetes and heart failure. After a year the tests will be repeated to determine if patients receiving Dapagliflozin benefited more than those who weren't on the drug. This study is funded by the European Foundation for the Study of Diabetes (EFSD)
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a very prevalent metabolic disorder in the adult population affecting roughly 17.7 million people in the US alone. The harmful effect of DM on implant integration and survival has been attributed to vascular complications in the alveolar bone that lead to compromised blood supply and decreased bone density. Nonetheless, the specific detrimental effects of DM in the alveolar bone have not been investigated in humans. People with DM generally lose more teeth than persons without diabetes, but implant placement in not well controlled diabetics is not routinely performed due to the lack of relevant evidence and the risk for implant failure and associated complications. Chemically modified, micro-rough, hydrophilic (SLActive®) titanium implant surfaces have been shown to accelerate osseointegration of dental implants placed in diabetic animals. It has been hypothesized that this enhanced biologic response is due to the biocompatibility and hydrophilicity of the surface that actively attracts blood and is populated by progenitor cells, and growth factors that improve stromal cell differentiation. Hypotheses: It is hypothesized that hyperglycemia results in compromised vascularity in the mandible. Thus, hydrophilic TiZr implant surfaces (Roxolid®) that actively attract fluids and possess excellent osteoconductive properties, may enhance peri-implant bone response in diabetic patients to levels comparable to well-controlled diabetics.
This study is conducted in Europe. The aim of this non-interventional study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of insulin degludec (Tresiba®) in a real world population with type 1 (T1DM) and 2 (T2DM) diabetes mellitus.
The purpose of this study was to determine if untrained subjects with diabetes and without diabetes could operate the Investigational Blood Glucose Monitoring System (BGMS) and obtain valid glucose results.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of bexagliflozin in lowering hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Bexagliflozin is an orally administered drug for the treatment of T2DM and is classified as a Sodium Glucose co-Transporter 2 (SGLT2) Inhibitor. This study was to enroll both treatment naive and those subjects previously treated with one oral hypoglycemic agent (OHA). Approximately 320 subjects eligible for randomization was to receive bexagliflozin tablets, 5, 10, 20 mg or placebo, once daily for 12 weeks in an outpatient setting.
