Filter by:This goal of this NIH funded R01 study is to identify risk factors for not being able to follow-up for a new diagnosis of diabetes in the emergency department and improve linkage of these newly diagnosed patients to appropriate outpatient care. Its three aims will be accomplished through 1) a retrospective chart review of emergency department (ED) patients screened for diabetes, 2) a series of prospective qualitative interviews among ED patients with newly diagnosed diabetes who fail to follow-up for outpatient care, and 3) a simple randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of telehealth bridge visits to connect ED patients with newly diagnosed diabetes to outpatient primary care.
The Antidiabetic potential of Hyphaene thebaica fruits and Moringa oleifera leaves will be investigated in diabetic patients (type 2). The patients will be maintained on tea of both drugs for 6 weeks. The fasting blood glucose levels of patients will be checked on a daily basis. Other blood biomarkers will be also reported such as insulin concentration, Lipid profile, liver enzymes, c-peptide and glycated hemoglobin
The Coronavirus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused an international healthcare crisis and produced a large healthcare burden. Diabetes mellitus is a common disease that can be controlled via pharmacologic agents; however, many patients have poor glycemic control, leading to disease-related complications. Diabetes mellitus has been reported in the literature to be associated with increasing morbidity and mortality in COVID-19 patients, and some hypothesize that this is due to insulin dysregulation propagating a pro-inflammatory state. The investigators aim to contribute to the growing body of literature that assesses the associations between glucose homeostasis and COVID-19 disease severity and mortality.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the impact of participation in Eat Well for diabetes patients who are at risk of food insecurity. The main questions it aims to answer are: - whether there is a difference in Haemoglobin (Hb) A1c measurements and emergency department (ED) utilization between the Eat Well and control groups up to 18 months post-program completion. - whether there are differences in cardiometabolic health-related outcomes for Eat Well participants. Participants in the program will receive gift/debit cards for fruits and vegetables and educational nutrition materials. Researchers will compare Eat Well participants with those only receiving educational materials to see if there are differences in cardiometabolic health outcomes.
The aim of the present split-mouth study was to investigate the effect of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) in improving the post-extraction tooth socket healing in subjects with diabetes mellitus type 2. The null hypothesis was that HA can significantly improve the post extractive healing of diabetic patients compared with no treatment. 36 patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 requiring bilateral extraction of the homologous, not included, teeth were enrolled. After the extractions carried out in the same appointment, following the split-mouth design of the study, one site was randomly assigned to the test (T) group, while the other one was assigned to the control group (C). T group included: Post-operative application of Hyaluronic acid gels 3 times per day C group included: no treatment. Patients were then followed after 3, 7,14 and 21 days and the healing of each socket was evaluated and compared between the 2 groups.
The goal of this clinical trial is to reduce inflammation and improve glycemic control in healthy volunteers, parents, as well as children, adolescents and adults with or without diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are: • does a reduction wheat gluten improve glycemic control and/or inflammatory biomarkers • does a reduction in certain amino acids (which is most common in wheat gluten) improve glycemic control and/or inflammatory biomarkers • can we identify individuals with an inflammatory response, which leads to poor glycemic control. Participants will eat gluten-free products as well as similar products containing gluten. They will also eat gluten together with probiotics to see if an effect of gluten can be reduced. Researchers will compare everyone with themselves (cross-over design) and if possible individuals with and without diabetes.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the use and effectiveness of a mobile web application (app) that is designed to educate and allow patients to manage diabetes and make sustainable lifestyle changes, and to study the impact of the app on clinical outcomes of diabetes (HA1C) and educational outcomes (Self-Efficacy for Diabetes Scale). The main question to answer is: Does the use of the Diabetes Application significantly affect clinical outcomes of diabetes and cardiometabolic risk factors (BMI and Blood Pressure)? Patients will be enrolled in one of two available arms of the study. Participants in the 'intervention arm' will use the app to view educational information presented as videos in the following areas: Healthy Coping, Healthy Eating, Staying Active, Medications (Use and Safety), Problem Solving in Diabetes and Disease Pathophysiology. They will continue routine follow-up care with their primary care physicians during the study. Participants in the 'control arm' will continue with their primary care physician in routine follow-up care, as normally scheduled. Researchers will compare the intervention arm participants to the control arm participants to find out about and compare changes in HA1C, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and body mass index. Groups will also be compared on the basis of self-perceived confidence of managing their diabetes by way of the Diabetes Self Efficacy Scale.
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of the progressive relaxation exercises applied to the individuals with diabetes on fatigue and sleep. This randomized controlled study was a single-blind, parallel intervention and control group experimental study. The researcher applied the training for the progressive relaxation exercises to the intervention group. Socio-demographic data, 'Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index' and 'The Fatigue Severity Scale' were used for the study.
Periodontitis, a known complication of diabetes, is an infectious disease that destroys bone and gums. Studies have shown that diabetes favors periodontitis, and that periodontitis contributes to its aggravation. The positive impact of treating periodontitis on the cost of diabetes care has been demonstrated and the French national health system fully covers the treatment of periodontitis for diabetic patients. Unfortunately, 80% of diabetic patients do not visit their dentist enough. Although diabetologists regularly see their patients and are aware of the importance of treating periodontitis,they do not have the expertise to diagnose the condition whereas a specialist dentist can often diagnose it just by looking. This study aims to develop a solution combining the dentist's expertise with that of the diabetologist. This would be based on analysis of a photograph of the patient's oral cavity, taken in the department. So far, no studies have ever evaluated the performance of an expert dentist for diagnosing periodontitis from a simple photograph made by non-dental experts in a diabetic department. The hypothesis is that the concordance in the diagnosis of periodontitis between an indirect method based on a photograph of the oral cavity and a direct method based on clinical examination of this oral cavity (reference) in the diabetic patient would be satisfactory.
This is an open, randomized, controlled trial to determine the impact of an integrative group program on metabolic control and wellbeing perception of patients with T2DM. The integrative group program consists of 6 in-person sessions directed by a health coach and occurring every other week, and 6 asynchronous educative sessions during a period of 12 weeks.
