Filter by:Comparison of fasting blood glucose levels in patients with Type 2 diabetes after 12 weeks of treatment with a new basal insulin analog or with insulin glargine.
To study the effect of cinnamon on postprandial blood glucose, and plasma concentrations of insulin in subjects with impaired glucose tolerance.
Diabetes is a common and serious chronic disease. However, there is a large gap between the level of care that people should receive (based on research and guidelines) and the level of care they actually receive. With the release of their 2008 Clinical Practice Guidelines, the Canadian Diabetes Association has a strategy to improve heart disease screening and treatment for people with diabetes. This study will evaluate whether the strategy works. The focus of the strategy was to give all family physicians in Canada a Toolkit in June 2009 to help them delivery better care for their diabetic patients. In Ontario, only half of doctors received this Toolkit. We will compare the quality of care received by diabetic patients whose doctors received this Toolkit versus those who doctors did not.
The objectives of this clinical trial are to assess in a pilot setting the overall performance and safety of the Endo GIA™ Stapler with Endo GIA™ SULU with Tri-Staple™ Technology when used in a gastric bypass procedure.
This study is designed as a prospective clinical trial aimed at investigating the mechanisms behind observed improvements in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) following bariatric surgery. The majority of patients with T2DM who are undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery, in particular, experience complete remission of T2DM almost immediately post-surgery. This response occurs before significant weight loss is possible. To assess the mechanisms involved with disease resolution, the investigators propose a study to evaluate patients at the UW Medical Center (UWMC) who have T2DM and are undergoing RYGB with G (gastronomy)-tube placement as part of their clinical care. The investigators are interested in this sub-population as the G-tube allows us the unique opportunity to evaluate glycemic control and insulin response following delivery or exclusion of nutrients to the otherwise bypassed portion of the gastrointestinal tract. The investigators hypothesize that nutrient delivery to the proximal GI tract will reverse RYGB-mediated improvements in glucose homeostasis, possibly in association with changes in nutrient-regulated gut peptides involved in glucose control.
The investigators will perform biochemical and metabolic evaluations on cord blood, venous blood of the mother and urine of the foetus and mother using time-of-flight and tandem mass spectrometry. The investigators could evaluate, dose and validate gestational diabetes mellitus biomarkers of the fetus and mother.
The purpose of this protocol is to study the effects of fluid milk products on satiety, food intake, and glucose metabolism in healthy young men and women. Experiment 1: The specific objective is to investigate isovolumetric amounts of milk (2% M.F.), chocolate milk (1% M.F.), a soy beverage, cow's milk-based infant formula, and water (control) on satiety and food intake and on blood glucose before and after a meal. A fixed volume approach is based on the commercially available serving size. Experiment 2 will examine equicaloric amounts of milk (2% M.F.), chocolate milk (1% M.F.), a soy beverage, cow's milk-based infant formula, a glucose drink and water (control) the treatments in order to investigate macronutrient composition on satiety and food intake and on blood glucose before and after the meal.
This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this clinical trial is to assess the preference of 2 different needles used by nurses and health assistants. The trial consists of a handling test followed by a 12 week cross-over study.
The purpose of the Taste Perception Study is to assess variations in the ability to taste and perceive sensations from various stimuli in younger (18-49 years) and older (50-85 years) volunteers. The study's goal is to determine how these sensations influence what one likes to eat, and what one chooses to eat, and whether there is an association with dietary intake, body composition and chronic disease. Another objective of the study is to determine the association between variations in oral sensations and genes mediating sensory perception and dietary behaviours.
The purpose of this study is to determine the variability in glycemic index determinations for individual foods and food combinations. The study will also evaluate the changes in insulin and free fatty acid levels, plasma lipid and lipoprotein profiles, C-reactive protein-a marker of inflammation and glycosylated hemoglobin- a marker of glucose metabolism during a five-hour period after eating the food or foods. Additionally, supplementary data on variation in oral sensation, habitual food intake, food preferences and genes mediating sensory perception and dietary behaviors (supported by a grant from the Tufts Ross Aging Initiative) will be related to the outcomes on the present study.
