Filter by:The investigators will use exercise training and weight loss to discover localized lipid species related to diabetes risk in people.
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist are new treatment of type 2 diabetes, they lower blood glucose level (by enhancement of glucose-dependent insulin secretion and suppression of excess glucagon secretion) and reduce weight by inducing satiety and slowing of gastric emptying. Beneficial effects of GLP-1 and GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists on cardiovascular function have been suggested. They improve biomarkers of CV risk, decrease systolic blood pressure, improve endothelial function and have beneficial effects on myocardium. Nevertheless, few studies have analysed the effect of GLP1 treatment on myocardial function in type 2 obese diabetic. Myocardial steatosis is an independent predictor of diastolic dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus. It was recently shown that 16 weeks of caloric restriction in obese patients with diabetes decrease myocardial triglyceride content and improve myocardial function (cardiac output, normalized stroke volume, LV mass and normalized end diastolic volume), and diastolic function. However, no study has evaluated the impact of Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist in obese diabetics on myocardial TG content. Recent studies have suggested that increased epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) could be an important risk factor for cardiac diseases. We and others have already evidenced a correlation between the volume of epicardial adipose tissue and the presence or the severity of coronaropathy. The impact of weight loss on the volume of EAT or the characteristics of EAT is mostly unknown.
Using implantable loop recorder the investigators wish to detect atrial fibrillation in high risk patients and compare it to the results using conventional Holter monitoring. The hypothesis is that 10-15% of high risk patients have subclinical atrial fibrillation. The investigators want to detect those people so they can receive appropriate anticoagulation treatment. The patients will get a comprehensive workup including ecg, echocardiography and blood tests.
The DREAM (Diabetes Research, Education, and Action for Minorities) Project is a Community Health Worker (CHW) intervention to improve diabetic management and control among Bangladeshis with diabetes in New York City (NYC).
The purpose of this study was to determine if subjects who have diabetes can operate the Investigational Blood Glucose Monitoring System (BGMS) with no training and obtain valid glucose results.
The purpose of this study is to determine if subjects who have diabetes can operate the Investigational Blood Glucose Monitoring System (BGMS) without training and obtain valid glucose results.
The purpose of this study is to investigate CD8 + T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire differences between patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and type 2 diabetes or healthy controls.
The prevalence of diabetes is up to 11.6% according to the data released in 2013 by the China Noncommunicable Disease Surveillance Group.Less than 40% of all diagnosed-diabetes were well controlled.Among all kinds of antidiabetic medications, metformin is recommended as the first-line antihyperglycemic management for type 2 diabetes. Insulin secretagogue,repaglinide is still one of the most widely used antidiabetic medications in China. However, there were few studies comparing the effects of these two medications on glycaemic control in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether participation in virtual environment which incorporates real-time diabetes self management and support (DSMT/S) is associated with positive changes in behavior and metabolic outcomes as compared to traditional web-based DSMT/S.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of 12 week lifestyle intervention on diabetes risk in obese Latino adolescents.
