Filter by:Strategies to reduce the burden of diabetes in Rwanda, like in other resource poor settings, include involving diabetic patients in their own care and targeting modifiable risk factors through adopting appropriate dietary and lifestyle habits. According to previous research carried out in developed countries, lifestyle modifications may have effect on the development of diabetes and prevention of its complications. However, direct evidence to show whether lifestyle intervention is beneficial for diabetic patients in resources limited countries like Rwanda is an open question. Though in these countries, access to healthy diet is claimed to be the barrier of implementation of therapeutic lifestyle based initiatives, we hypothesize that knowledge gaps are more important barriers than access to healthier diets and other lifestyle habits. We therefore would like to carry out this intervention to assess the effects of lifestyle education programs on glycemic control among people with diabetes followed up at CHUK.
The incidence of gastroparesis has been increasing among Canadians. Symptoms of discomfort include early satiety, stomach pain, nausea and vomiting. In addition, because gastroparesis slows digestion, it can lead to malnutrition and make controlling blood sugar even more challenging for diabetics. Mild cases of gastroparesis can be helped with dietary and lifestyle modifications but treatments for more severe symptoms are limited. There are several drugs called pro-kinetics available in Canada though results vary among patients and these often cause significant side effects. Recently, a drug called Prucalopride was approved for use in Canada to treat constipation. It has pro-kinetic properties and has been shown to cause few side effects. The investigators propose to test prucalopride as a treatment for gastroparesis by recruiting 30 patients from the Calgary area who have gastroparesis. The investigators will test the effects of this treatment by alternating 28 days of active treatment with prucalopride with 28 days of treatment with a non active placebo adding a two week break in between treatments. The order of the treatment will be randomized and neither the patients nor the investigators will know whether they are receiving the active treatment or the placebo until the study has been completely finished. The investigators will measure the effects using questionnaires that assess patient symptoms such as nausea and pain as well as quality of life during two gastric emptying tests and throughout the treatment periods. The effectiveness of the active treatment will be evaluated by comparing the extent of the change in symptoms before and after treatments and the difference in gastric emptying times as compared to the placebo treatment. The investigators will also monitor and track all possible side effects that patients experience during the study. Study Hypotheses In patients with gastroparesis: 1. Prucalopride 4 mg daily improves meal-related symptoms compared to placebo as defined by the change in cumulative meal-related symptoms. (primary endpoint). 2. Prucalopride 4 mg daily accelerates gastric emptying rate compared to placebo. (secondary endpoint). 3. A correlation exists between the effect of prucalopride on gastric emptying rate and symptom improvement.
This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The aim of the trial is to compare the safety and efficacy of insulin degludec (IDeg) and insulin glargine (IGlar) with or without OADs (oral anti-diabetic drugs) excluding SUs (sulfonylureas)/glinides in subjects with type 2 diabetes.
The study was a 12-month, multi-centered, quasi-experimental design to assess point-of-care (POCT) screening/monitoring of subjects on antipsychotic agents for metabolic syndrome. Subjects were also randomized to either an Extended Treatment Group (ETG) defined by receiving comprehensive medication management (CMM) pharmacist interventions or a Usual Treatment Group (UTG) receiving no CMM interventions. All subjects were recruited from three community mental health clinic settings in Minnesota.
The addition of Biochaperone to insulin lispro may accelerate the onset and shorten the duration of action of insulin lispro due to a facilitation of the absorption of the insulin after subcutaneous injection. The aim of the trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of BioChaperone insulin lispro in subjects with Type 1 diabetes under a dose of 0.2 U/Kg. This trial is a single-center, randomised, double-blinded, two-treatment, two-period cross-over, 6-hour euglycaemic glucose clamp trial in subjects with Type 1 diabetes mellitus. Each subject will be randomly allocated to a single dose of BioChaperone insulin lispro 0.2 U/Kg and a single dose of Humalog® 0.2 U/Kg on 2 separate dosing visits.
The objectives of the study are to examine the health benefits of dietary canola oils on body composition, specifically on android fat, and weight management. COMIT II will also include analysis of FAEs to elucidate the mechanisms by which canola oil may be modifying body composition. Measurement of endothelial function, inflammatory, adiposity, and insulin sensitivity biomarkers will be done to determine the positive health impact of the changes in body composition achieved through canola oil consumption.
Vascular damage caused by diabetes mellitus, cigarette smoking, age and arterial hypertension theoretically changes pulse wave velocity.
Primary Objective: To investigate the efficacy(HbA1c) at 6 months after adding basal insulin therapy (insulin glargine) to dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) and metformin plus or minus sulphonylurea Secondary Objectives: 1. To assess the efficacy by adding insulin glargine 2. To assess insulin dose 3. Safety
The purpose of this study is to determine whether group visits with added behavioral activation (BA) for depression will have a greater clinical impact than our standard group visits without BA for depression in reducing the risk of future coronary events as measured by the United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) risk engine and depression symptoms as measured by Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) after 6 months.
To compare the pharmacokinetic characteristics between HCP1201 tablet 750/10 mg and co-administration of metformin 750 mg plus rosuvastatin 10 mg under fed state condition.
