Filter by:Aim of the study is to compare two treatment regimens (insulin Lantus as basal insulin vs insulin NPH) plus oral antidiabetics in type 2 diabetic patients and confirm superiority of insulin glargine. Comparison is focused on: blood glucose (BG) variability of the two treatment regimens, quality of diabetes compensation (HbA1c, FBG/Fasting blood glucose), body weight development, dose of insulin and occurrence of symptomatic hypoglycaemia and other adverse events.
This study is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe, Japan and South America. The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the incidence of serious adverse reactions (SARs) while using Levemir® (insulin detemir) under normal clinical practice conditions. Study conducted globally in 26 countries. Some countries participated in the study for only 3 months (Austria, Brazil, Denmark, Germany, Israel, Lebanon, Slovenia, Russia, and Turkey), while others extended their participation to 6 (Belgium/Luxembourg, Czech Republic, Greece, India, Italy, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden, Tunisia, and United Kingdom/Ireland) and 12 months (Finland, France, and Japan), respectively.
This study is conducted in Asia, Europe, Japan and North America. The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness while using NovoMix® 30 during 26 weeks under normal clinical practice, in the countries participating in the study. The primary outcome is the incidence of major hypoglycaemic events reported as serious adverse drugs reaction conditions on hypoglycaemic events.
Patients with diabetes treated with insulin often gain weight, which may deter patients from adhering to insulin treatment. Detemir is one type of long acting insulin approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in people with diabetes. It is similar to other long acting insulins (Neutral Protein Hagedorn [NPH], glargine) except that it has been associated with less weight gain compared to other types of insulin. The reasons for this are still unclear. One possibility is that detemir insulin acts differently than do other insulins in affecting how diabetic patients eat meals. The purpose of this study is to determine whether appetite and calories eaten during a meal are affected by the type of insulin used to treat diabetes. This is a pilot study which means we are gathering preliminary information to determine if a larger study can be done.
Statins have been shown to reduce significantly the risk for cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes and statin therapy is largely recommended in this high cardiovascular risk population. However, a residual cardiovascular risk is observed in patients with type 2 diabetes treated by statins. This may be due to the fact that statins do not correct all lipid abnormalities associated with diabetic dyslipidaemia, such as hyperTG and low HDL-cholesterol. Rosuvastatin is a statin which, in addition to its efficacy to reduce LDL-cholesterol, has been show to decrease significantly plasma triglycerides. However, the effects of rosuvastatin on triglyceride rich lipoproteins and HDL remains unknown. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect rosuvastatin 20 mg on the metabolism of triglyceride rich lipoproteins and HDL in patients with Type 2 diabetes using and in vivo kinetic study of VLDL1-apoB,VLDL2-apoB,IDL-apoB and HDL-apoA1.
This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the change in weight in type 2 diabetes patients using Levemir® or Insulatard® under normal clinical practice conditions.
This study is conducted in Europe. The aim of this observational study is to gain practical experience with once-daily Levemir administration in type 2 diabetes patients who were previously treated with Insulatard®, Humulin® N (NPH insulins) as basal insulin as part of their ICT under normal clinical practice conditions in Hungary.
Patients will be recruited from comparable inpatient units that have been randomized as either interventional (Group 1) or control (Group 2) units. Patients in the interventional group will receive a comprehensive individualized diabetes education program coordinated by a certified diabetes educator. Patients in Group 2 will receive education from clinical staff as it is typically provided. Assessment of patient satisfaction with both inpatient and outpatient care, quality of life, and diabetes self-management skills (including emergency room visits and readmissions) will be measured using surveys completed during hospitalization and 4 months after discharge to determine any differences between the two groups.
This study will test the hypothesis that leptin contributes to the regulation of the dynamics of human endocrine function.
This observational study is conducted in Europe. The objective of this retrospective observational cohort analysis is to assess the changes of glycaemic control and quality of care in those Type 2 diabetic patients who were previously treated with Mixtard® insulins after 6 months of their switch to analog premix insulin NovoMix® 30 therapy.
