Filter by:This enhanced meter feature raises awareness among patients by providing additional information regarding their glycemic control between Healthcare Professional visits. This information may facilitate increased dialogue between patient and Healthcare Professionals and can remind patients of the importance of glycemic control. This study will evaluate a user's ability to obtain the enhanced meter feature.
This trial is conducted in Europe and North and South America. The aim of the trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of semaglutide once-weekly versus exenatide ER (extended release) 2.0 mg once-weekly as add-on to 1-2 oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) in subjects with type 2 diabetes.
Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune condition in which segments of the immune system cause the destruction of insulin producing cells in the pancreas, leaving individuals with an impaired ability to control blood glucose levels. Currently there is no cure for Type 1 Diabetes and the treatments involve lifelong insulin administration and careful monitoring of blood glucose levels. Long-term complications like cardiovascular disease, nerve damage, and retina damage, may result. Previous studies have shown that improvement in the control of blood glucose can reduce the risks from these long-term complications. Residual insulin production, typically within the first few years following diagnosis, helps to reduce an individual's need to supplement insulin by injection or pump. This effect helps in maintaining the body's ability to regulate blood glucose levels and reducing the needs of external insulin. Methyldopa, or Aldomet, has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration and is commonly used to treat high blood pressure. This drug has been approved for several decades and has been shown to be safe and effective. This drug has been identified by the researcher to be able to block the communication between two important types of immune cells; which play a critical role in the autoimmune processes of Type 1 Diabetes. The investigators hypothesize that Methyldopa, over a 6 week treatment period, will block this communication and possibly slow down the destruction of insulin producing cells. The investigators hope to assess the appropriate and safe dose to achieve this effect, along with the drug's ability to maintain insulin production and blood glucose control.
The purpose of this study was to test the effect of chronic consumption of Quercetin 500 mg tablets on blood uric acid and other biomarkers in adult males.
The present study is designed to test the hypothesis that resveratrol supplementation will improve the function of the endothelium in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The function of the endothelium will be tested with a non-invasive technique that uses ultrasound to measure the amount of dilation that occurs in the brachial artery following 5-minute cuff occlusion. To help us understand potential mechanisms of benefit, we will also collect blood, urine, and cell samples and test the effects of treatment on protein expression, nitric oxide production, and function of mitochondria.
To test the function and safety of the Medtronic Overnight Closed Loop (OCL) System in a closely monitored 12 hour overnight inpatient study. Once the safety of the device has been validated we will move the study to an outpatient diabetes camp setting. The camp setting will allow us to obtain pilot efficacy and safety data in a "real-life" environment. We plan to compare the subject control nights to the subject nights on the OCL system to assess the percent of sensor glucose readings in the target range of 70-150 mg/dl. Based on previous research, we anticipate that the use of the OCL system will contribute to a greater percentage of sensor glucose readings in the target range.
This trial is conducted in Asia. The aim of the trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of flexible versus fixed dosing and simple versus stepwise titration with OD insulin degludec in inadequately treated subjects with type 2 diabetes.
This study will examine the feasibility and acceptability of a 6-month interprofessional community-based health promotion program, and explore its effects on older adults' self-management of Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM). Recently enrolled clients of Diabetes Care Guelph (DCG), who are age 65+ and have at least two other chronic conditions, will be eligible to participate. Participants must be English speaking, community-dwelling, independent in activities of daily living, and mentally competent to give informed consent. The 6-month intervention will consist of: in-home visits by a Registered Nurse and Registered Dietitian from DCG; participation in a monthly Diabetes Wellness Day group program offered through the Guelph Wellington Seniors Association (GWSA) together with DCG; peer support from trained volunteers at the Diabetes Wellness Day group program; care coordination by the DCG Registered Nurse to help participants access necessary supports and services; and monthly team conferences between care providers at DCG and the GWSA to develop a client-centred plan of care. To evaluate the program, participants will complete interviewer-administered questionnaires before and after the intervention, and care providers and peer volunteers will take part in group interviews.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect and safety of liraglutide 1.8 mg once daily compared to placebo for 52 weeks on change in beta-cell function in patients with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes as an adjunctive therapy to insulin treatment.
The goal of this study is to 1) examine the feasibility and acceptability of a one-day Acceptance and Commitment Training + Illness Management (ACT-IM) intervention in patients with comorbid vascular disease risk factors and depression or anxiety; and 2) to evaluate the effectiveness of this brief group intervention(ACT-IM), compared to Treatment-As-Usual (TAU) on the mental health and functioning of patients with co-morbid mood/anxiety and vascular disease risk factors. Patients with vascular disease risk factors will be identified by physicians in Family Practice or Internal Medicine, through chart review, or through advertisements. Those with vascular risk factors will be screened and assessed for symptoms of depression or anxiety. Patients who are experiencing significant depressive or anxiety symptoms and are interested in the treatment arm of the study will be randomized to the ACT-IM intervention or to TAU. Assessments of the following will take place both before and after the intervention: depression, anxiety, functioning, illness self-management, blood vessel health, and blood.
