The investigators propose to use a Natural Language Processing System (NLP) to provide an initial baseline report for primary care patients at risk for diabetes and cardiovascular complications that will include: a) evidence of foot exam documentation in the previous year; b) use of aspirin for cardiovascular risk reduction; and c) tobacco use. As part of a randomized trial, we plan to use a previously validated mailed survey (NCQA Provider Recognition Program) that requests information on the last foot exam, use of aspirin and tobacco. Patients who have been identified by NLP as not having had a foot exam will be randomized into treatment and control arms. Both arms will receive an informational letter; with a second mailing to nonresponders after one month, describing the key strategies for effective patient-physician communication during the clinical encounter. The treatment arm will also receive an informational letter and patient education brochure containing key messages about the importance of regular foot examinations. NLP will be repeated after 6 months to compare the impact of the patient education materials.
This trial is conducted in Asia. The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the blood glucose lowering effect and the safety profile of repaglinide given alone compared to gliclazide given alone in Chinese subjects with type 2 diabetes who never have been treated with oral anti-diabetic drugs (OADs). This study also investigates the augment effect of repaglinide on the phases of insulin secretion as a subgroup study.
The overall goal of this proposal is to determine the effects of acute hyperglycemia and its modulation by Glucagon-like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) on myocardial perfusion in type 2 diabetes (DM). This study plan utilizes myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) to explore a) the effects of acute hyperglycemia on myocardial perfusion and coronary flow reserve in individuals with and without DM; and b) the effects of GLP-1 on myocardial perfusion and coronary flow reserve during euglycemia and hyperglycemia in DM. The investigators will recruit individuals with and without DM matched for age, gender and degree of obesity. The investigators will measure myocardial perfusion at rest and during vasodilator stress (to ascertain coronary flow reserve) while subjects are under controlled pancreatic clamp conditions during euglycemia (glucose ~100 mg/dl) and hyperglycemia (glucose ~250 mg/dl) in the presence and absence of concomitant GLP-1 infusion. The investigators believe that the translational significance of their studies is immense, impacting upon both acute and chronic cardiovascular disease manifestations. The effect of glycemic control on cardiovascular outcomes, morbidity and mortality remains an area of active investigation, fueled by the recent conflicting results of several large clinical trials (ACCORD, United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS), ADVANCE, VADT). If the investigators find that hyperglycemia is associated with altered myocardial perfusion, the mechanistic implications in the prevention and management of acute and chronic cardiovascular diseases in DM will be groundbreaking. Furthermore, if GLP-1 augments myocardial perfusion (as it does in the peripheral vasculature), the therapeutic benefits for prevention of cardiovascular events in this predisposed population are clear.
The aim of this study is to measure effects of the combined treatment with GH and IGF-I on glucose sensitivity and body composition in patients with GHD and IGT or diabetes.
Randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of vitamin D supplementation (cholecalciferol, 4,000 IU/day for 6 months, in 104 postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The objective was to evaluate the effect of vitamin D supplementation on C-reactive protein (CRP) and insulin resistance in women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The trial was conducted from March to October 2008 at the Hospital of the Mexican Social Security in Cuernavaca, Mexico.
The main purpose of this study is to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of SRT2379 (25, 75, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, and 3000 mg/day [fasted] and 500 mg/day [fed]) in healthy male volunteers. The purpose is also to explore the effect of SRT2379 on plasma concentrations of Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 (FGF21) and to identify other possible biomarkers suitable for future clinical assessment of oral SIRT1 activators.
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel arm study will assess efficacy and safety and the effects of taspoglutide on cardiovascular events in patients with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus and established cardiovascular disease. Patients will be randomized to receive either taspoglutide subcutaneously (sc) 10mg weekly for 4 weeks followed by 20mg sc weekly, or weekly sc placebo, in addition to background anti-hyperglycemic medication and standard of care treatment for cardiovascular disease. Anticipated time on study treatment is up to 2 years. Target sample size is 2000 patients.
Randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, double-blind, multiple-dose, activity and safety clinical study of SRT2104 administered orally once daily for 28 consecutive days. This will be an inpatient/outpatient study to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of SRT2104 in type 2 diabetic male and female subjects on an existing, stable, background metformin therapy. Approximately 80 subjects will be enrolled. Subjects will be evenly randomized to receive SRT2104 2.0 g/day or placebo in the fed state. Subjects will be required to stay overnight at the study center on Days -2, -1, 0, 1 (optional discharge at investigator's discretion), 27, 28, 41, and 42. During these admissions, pharmacokinetic, biomarker and glycated albumin samples will be collected, and glucose profiling, OGTT, glucose stabilization, hyperinsulinemc euglycemic clamp (HEGC) studies with indirect calorimetry and various other safety and activity procedures will be performed. On Day 1 of the study, subjects will be randomized to receive SRT2104 or placebo. Day 43 will be the last day of the study and subjects will be released. In addition, subjects will be asked to return to the study center on Day 14 for interim safety assessments. During the dosing period, study personnel will contact subjects by telephone on Days 7 and 21 to conduct a safety assessment. Subjects will be required to monitor their fasting blood glucose and complete a daily diary for the outpatient portion of the study between Days 1 and 28. A follow-up, safety phone call will occur 30 days following their final dose of SRT2104 or placebo (Day 58 of the study) to identify any possible additional adverse events or concomitant medications.
Urine pH has been lately linked to insulin resistance. The early phase of Diabetes Mellitus involves insulin resistance. Thus, the investigators want to check if a simple cheap study like a urine analysis that can predict diabetes.
