Filter by:The primary goal of this study is to measure the prevalence of undiagnosed pre-diabetes/diabetes among women hospitalized with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) compared to men. Inpatients with confirmed ACS (and no known prior history of diabetes) are invited to return to the Yale Hospital Research Unit 6-8 weeks after hospital discharge for an oral glucose tolerance test to identify individuals with pre-diabetes and diabetes.
Glucagon-like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an important incretin hormone which acts as a powerful insulin secretagogue. Defects in GLP-1 synthesis and secretion are thought to be part of the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. Furthermore GLP-1 based therapy is an important part of the therapeutic armamentarium for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The GLP-1 receptor (GLP1R) is the principal site of action of GLP-1 and GLP-1 receptor agonists like exenatide and liraglutide. The gene coding for this receptor, GLP1R, is highly polymorphic and contains numerous non-synonymous Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (nsSNPs) which could potentially alter response to endogenous or exogenous GLP-1 or GLP-1R agonists. Indeed there is some in vitro data to support this concept. We propose to utilize a hyperglycemic clamp to test the insulin secretory response to infused GLP-1 in healthy volunteers to determine the effect of genetic variation in GLP1R on response to GLP-1.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with ferumoxtran-10 can be used to detect changes in the pancreas associated with autoimmune diabetes.
This protocol will determine the prevalence of hyperglycemia and diabetes in the elective orthopedic population at the University of Wisconsin. It will also determine if there is a difference in outcomes. The study hypothesizes that at least 10% of patients will have some degree of impaired glucose regulation that has previously been undiagnosed.
The purpose of this study is to look at the progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in normal control individuals and in patients with controlled diabetes.
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a disease that interferes with the body's proper production and use of insulin, a hormone needed to convert sugar into usable energy. People with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) are at a higher risk for certain cardiovascular diseases, including heart disease and stroke. Normal treatments for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) target blood sugar levels only, but there is reason to believe that also targeting blood fat levels will improve both sugar metabolism and heart function in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, (T2DM.) This study will determine the effectiveness of blood-fat lowering treatments along with blood-sugar control treatments in improving heart function and symptoms of people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus(T2DM), and if this varies between men and women.
The purpose of this trial is to allow patients to continue on HOE 901 until launch and to gather additional long-term safety data.
The objective of this survey on this registered product is to confirm the efficacy, and safety profile of Lantus in every day medical practice. This program will also help to obtain information about the use of the insulin titration regimen and handling of the Lantus insulin analogue.
For the purpose of comparing efficacy of intensive therapy between 1) ultrarapid-acting type insulin (insulin aspart) and 2) conventional rapid-acting type insulin (R), a Multicenter Open Label Randomized Controlled Trial was planned in Japan using the occurrence of cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes, a high risk factor, as an index.
The purpose of this research study is to look at concentrations of GSK189075 in blood when single doses of the drug are taken by mouth in combination with basal insulin. The clinical effects of the drug in combination with insulin on the body will also be studied. The results will help determine doses of GSK189075 can be studied in the future in the type I diabetes mellitus population.
