Filter by:Older adults living in subsidized housing report poorer health. Their age and low income make it harder for them to use community services. Many older adults have heart disease and diabetes, which lead to frequent emergency calls and hospital admissions. To decrease the costs of treating heart disease and diabetes through emergency and hospitalization, improved screening and health education is needed. Our program will take place in communal areas within housing buildings of older adults and deliver a heart disease, diabetes, and falls risk check-up with health education. This is expected to improve the health of older adults leading to fewer emergency calls and hospital visits.
This study will look into how a base dose of insulin peglispro and insulin glargine will affect the meal time dose and efficacy of insulin lispro in type 1 diabetics.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of the study drug known as dulaglutide in participants with type II diabetes who are taking once-daily insulin glargine. The study will last about 31 weeks for each participant.
This study hypothesizes that milk protein consumed together or shortly before a white rice or white bread carbohydrate meal exerts different influence on the glycaemic, insulinaemic responses.
Assess the safety and tolerability of once daily oral doses of BI 187004 in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus without oral antidiabetic treatment and in patients on a stable metformin background treatment over 28 days. Assess the effect on fasting plasma glucose after 28 days of treatment and to investigate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of BI 187004.
The purpose of this study was to determine if untrained persons with diabetes and without diabetes could operate the Investigational Blood Glucose Monitoring System (BGMS) and obtain valid blood glucose results.
Arterial hypertension causes adverse effects on the entire cardiovascular system, with effects centrally such as diastolic dysfunction and structural changes of the left ventricle and, peripherally such as endothelial dysfunction and increased thickness of the vessels. Co-existing diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, renal dysfunction, sleep apnea, etc. further aggravate the prognosis of these patients. In addition the rate of patients aged > 65 years suffering from un-diagnosed or diagnosed arterial hypertension was 78% for women and 64% for male patients. This population consists from elderly or very elderly patients (over 65 and 80 years respectively) who exhibit more comorbidities and probably less compliance with antihypertensive therapy. Finally, at every age the disease and its effects can affect the quality of life of patients. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of antihypertensive therapy (irbesartan alone or in combination with amplodipine and carvedilol) on the cardiovascular system (diastolic left ventricular function, the function of the endothelium (FMD) and the thickness of the common carotid artery). The secondary objective of the study is to monitor the quality of life (Quality of Life - QoL) of patients. Additionally the investigators will seek the correlation of results with co-morbidities, compliance, and patient age.
This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of the trial is to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (the exposure of the trial drug in the body) and pharmacodynamics (the effect of the investigated drug on the body) of subcutaneously administered NNC0148-0287 (insulin 287) in subjects with type 2 diabetes
To assess the effectiveness of social comparison in improving the outcome of statin adherence versus usual care as measured by an electronic pill bottle. Subjects receiving weekly reports with their adherence and information about their place in the distribution of their peers will have the highest statin adherence of any arm, as measured by electronic pill bottle.
The overall aim of this proposed research is to determine the safety, feasibility and efficacy of the Diabetes Assistant (DiAs) controller in day and night closed-loop control in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes over multiple days in a diabetes camp setting. This will be addressed in two parts: 1) An in residence, outpatient study to determine safety and feasibility of the DiAs during 72 continuous hours of day and night glucose control; and 2) Camp studies planned for the summer of 2014 with randomization to either full closed-loop or sensor-augmented pump therapy over the duration of 6-7 day diabetes camps.
