Filter by:The purpose of this study is to advance the quality of care among inpatients with diabetes in the VHA. When patients with diabetes are admitted to the hospital, there is a greater chance that they will have a complication that lengthens their stay in the hospital. We are testing whether managing their diabetes before admission makes a difference in occurrence of in-hospital complications.
The purpose of this study is to determine if, once a favorable dose of TI Inhalation Powder is established for either a type 1 or 2 patient, based on a average diabetic meal, the patient's favorable dose can be used safely, regardless of change in meal carbohydrate content. Patients were randomly assigned to various carbohydrate loads (0%, 50%, 100%, 150% or 200%). The 100% carbohydrate load was determined based upon their standard insulin dose for their normal meal.
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of home-delivered Medical Nutrition Therapy on clinical outcomes for persons with diabetes. The primary outcomes of this studies include A1c (A1C), blood glucose, blood pressure, Body Mass Index, lipid levels and other measures of disease progression and management as well as costs of medical care provided throughout the intervention period.
The purpose of this study is to examine the link between low testosterone and insulin resistance/diabetes in men undergoing androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer. The study will also evaluate other cardiovascular risk factors in these men.
The study hypothesis is that people who respond well to sulphonylureas have a different underlying cause for their diabetes than people who respond poorly to this medication. We are using two approaches to study this. In one approach we look at people who have previously responded well or poorly, confirm this by rechallenging them with a sulphonylurea drug, and then looking at how well they produce insulin in response to glucose and an intravenous sulphonylurea called tolbutamide. The second approach identifies people with a certain genetic predisposition to diabetes (due to changes in the TCF7L2 gene) and then looks at how well they respond to sulphonylurea medication.
This study is an extension of a study that has been ongoing for 1 year. The purpose of this open label study is to see the how well type 2 diabetics respond to VI-0521(phentermine/topiramate) in controlling blood sugar and how safe VI-0521 is over an extended period of time. All subjects eligible to enroll into this study will receive study drug.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of dapagliflozin to promote glucose loss in urine in healthy subjects and subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of multiple doses of TAK-379, once daily (QD), in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
There is evidence from a variety of animal studies that choroidal blood flow is under neural control. Recent results in humans indicate that a light/dark transition is associated with a short lasting reduction in choroidal blood flow. Several observations indicate that the changes in choroidal perfusion are triggered at least in part by neural mechanisms. Particularly, we have shown that during unilateral dark/light transition both eyes react with choroidal vasoconstriction strongly indicating a neural mechanism for blood flow regulation. Investigation of changes in choroidal blood flow during light/dark transition may represent an interesting approach to study neural dysregulation at the level of the eye in patients with IDDM. Accordingly, the hypothesis of reduced choroidal blood flow responses to a light/dark transition in patient with IDDM will be tested. This response in choroidal blood flow will be correlated to parameters of diabetic neuropathy and diabetic retinopathy.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if The Guardian® blood-sugar monitoring device can be used reliably in patients with high blood sugar who are receiving care in the ICU. Researchers will compare blood-sugar measurements from the study device with blood-sugar measurements from the standard "fingerstick" method of blood-sugar testing. This is being done to see if the new device can accurately measure blood sugar.
