Filter by:To compare the risk of acute pancreatitis in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) newly initiating empagliflozin to that of patients newly initiating other oral non-incretin/non-Sodium glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i)-containing hypoglycemic agents.
This study will test the preliminary effects of an intervention to reduce sugary drinks among low-income parents (n=38)(primary caregivers) and their young children (6 months-3 year olds) compared to a control group (n=38). The main outcome is behavioral: sugary drink consumption (self-reported servings/day) among parents and among their children (parent-reported servings/day). These outcomes are measured at baseline and immediately after the 12-week intervention. An exploratory aim will test if the intervention has a sustained behavioral effect and an effect on body mass index and waist circumference of the parents 12 months after baseline. Our mixed methods multi-phase approach includes a quantitative component (randomized controlled trial - Aim 1) and a qualitative component (in-depth interviews and focus groups- Aim 2) to test the effects of a behavioral intervention to replace sugary drinks with water at home.
Heart failure (HF) is among the most common causes of death in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Ketones, 3-hydroxybutyrate (3-OHB), have shown to have beneficial effects in patients with hearth failure with reduced ejection fraction. However, this have never been investigated in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). In this study we would like to investigate the effect of 14 days modulation of circulating ketone body levels on whole body and skeletal metabolism in patients with HFpEF and T2D.
This study assesses the repeatability precision of a blood glucose monitoring system pursuant to ISO 15197
Ketone bodies are a fuel source and signaling molecule that are produced by the body during prolonged fasting or if an individuals consistently eats a low-carbohydrate "keto" diet. Blood ketones can be used as a source of energy by the body, but they may also act as signals that impact the functioning of different cells in the body. Recently, the availability of ketone supplements that can be taken orally allows for raising blood ketones without having to fast or eat a "keto" diet. The investigators' studies and those of other researchers have shown that ketone supplementation can lower blood sugar without having to make any other dietary changes. Oral ingestion of ketones may therefore be an effective strategy to improve blood sugar control and influence how cells function. The main objective of this study is to determine if consuming a ketone supplement 3 times per day (before meals) for 14 days lowers blood sugar and impacts how the body's cells function. The results of this study will be used to guide future recommendations on the utility of ketone supplements for improving health in individuals with, or at elevated risk of, type 2 diabetes.
Novo Nordisk is developing a combination therapy with the investigational drug NNC0480-0389 and an already approved medicine called "semaglutide" for the treatment of type-2 diabetes (T2D). It is expected that the combination will further improve the blood sugar control compared to semaglutide therapy alone. The study will investigate the influence of the combination of semaglutide and NNC0480-0389 on the blood levels of a birth control pill (a combined oral contraceptive consisting of ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel) and paracetamol. Participants will get semaglutide and NNC0480-0389 as injection under the skin of their belly using a pen-injector. The injections will be given once weekly for 14 weeks. Additionally, participants will at two occasions get paracetamol as soluble tablet in connection with a standardised breakfast meal. Further, participants will get the birth control pill in form of tablets in two periods of 8 days each. Participants will get the combination of semaglutide and NNC0480-0389 as well as paracetamol and the combined contraceptive in any case. The study participation will last up to about 24 weeks. Participants will have 25 visits at the study centre. For 4 of the visits participants will stay at the study centre; the remaining visits will be outpatient. Only healthy postmenopausal women can take part in this study.
This study aimed to examine the effect of mobile phone-based distance video education given to individuals with type 2 diabetes on metabolic variables and cognitive-social factors. This study is a randomized controlled trial.
It has been demonstrated by many different researches that for patients to work on their lifestyle modifications, it is important that the patients know their exact blood glucose levels. Unlike the HbA1c which can only be determined at the hospital, improvements in blood glucose levels were detected in both the Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus patients who use insulin as well as Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients with SMBG(self-monitoring of blood glucose) which is the method used by patients to measure the blood glucose level at home on their own. Where SMBG needed blood to be collected from the fingertips, it has now passed the continuous glucose monitoring(CGM) stage where blood drawing is no longer required and is now replaced by the real-time CGM(RT-CGM) where blood glucose level can be checked real time. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients who do not use preprandial rapid insulin were divided into SMBG group and intermittent RT-CGM user group and their blood glucose level decrease monitored for 3 months. After 3 months, HbA1c in SMBG group decreased 0.5% compared to the baseline while 1.0% decreased in RT-CGM group. The research was extended 40 weeks to make the total research period to 52 weeks and the results still showed that there were significant decrease in the RT-CGM group. However, up to this day, there are no researches that can show that there are additional decrease in the blood glucose level in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients with use of RT-CGM in the group where sufficient blood glucose management cannot be achieved through use of three oral drug combination therapy to lower the blood glucose level. This research seeks to find out if there are any decreases in the blood glucose level by using RT-CGM at 6 month period in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitu patient group whose blood glucose level cannot significantly be managed after the three oral hypoglycemic agent combination therapy.
This study is looking at semaglutide in combination with a potential new medicine (NNC0480-0389) in people with type 2 diabetes. The study is being conducted to see how well semaglutide, in combination with different doses of NNC0480-0389, work to lower blood sugar levels. Results from this study will be used to select the doses of the two medicines for other studies. Participants will either get: Semaglutide (a medicine doctors can already prescribe for treatment of type 2 diabetes) in combination with NNC0480-0389 (a potential new medicine) or placebo (a 'dummy' medicine that looks like the medicines but without any medicine). NNC0480-0389 alone, or semaglutide alone which treatment participant get is decided by chance. Participant will need to take 2-3 injections once every week during the study. One injection will be with semaglutide or placebo and 1-2 injections will be with NNC0480-0389 or placebo. Participant must inject the study medicines themself into the stomach, thigh, or upper arm. The study will last for about 41weeks. Participant will have 20 clinic visits. Participant will have blood samples taken at all clinic visits. At 3 clinic visits, participant will also have an electrocardiogram (ECG). This is a test to check participants heart. Participant will have their eyes checked before or at the start of the study and at the end of the study. Women can only take part in the study if they are not able to become pregnant
The proposed study examines the implementation and efficacy of a fruit and vegetable incentive program in a population of adults with diabetes at a community health center (CHC) in California. Additionally, we seek to understand the impact of this program on the participants with particular attention to their experience and point of view. To better understand the program and its impact, a mixed methods approach will be used.
