Filter by:Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) have higher risk of major cardiovascular events (MACE) and renal disfunction. The Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (iSGLT2) reduces hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 DM and have multiple metabolic effects, lowering primary composite cardiovascular outcomes and progression to renal failure. 25% of patients with Stable Ischemic Heart Disease (SIHD) undergoing PCI are diabetics being one of the most prevalent and important risk factors for the development of contrast induced nephropathy (CIN). The occurence of CIN is associated with higher rates of death, loss of renal function, necessity of dialysis and increase of health care costs. In this pilot study we sought to evaluate if the iSGLT2 would prevent periprocedural complications - such as periprocedural CIN and MI - in type 2 DM patients undergoing PCI through the assessment of renal and myocardial biomarkers
This is a prospective, observational study to assess the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on surrogate markers of kidney and cardiovascular health in patients with stage 3b and 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study includes three clinic in person visits and weekly telephone visits for 12 weeks. 1. Recruit 28 patients with CKD stages 3b-4 and follow up for 12 weeks 2. Determine the effect of interventions on the primary outcome variable serum klotho measured by immunoprecipitation-immunoblot
This is a single-site, open-label, Phase II, community-based randomized controlled explanatory trial to test the efficacy of a medically tailored meal + intensive lifestyle intervention (MTM + ILI) intervention for adults with food insecurity, HIV, and T2DM or high risk of T2DM, compared with a group that receives usual MTM.
The incidence of diabetes in pregnancy is rising, with rates of 1 in 7 pregnancies globally. Metformin is used for type 2 diabetes (T2DM) outside of pregnancy and is now increasingly prescribed during pregnancy. There are some concerns as metformin crosses the placenta and effects on offspring exposed during pregnancy are unknown. Animal and human evidence indicate that metformin may create an atypical in-utero environment similar to under-nutrition which has been associated with adult obesity. This is supported by studies in children of mothers treated with metformin in other populations where an increase in childhood obesity was found at 4-9 years of age. We now have evidence from the MiTy trial, that offspring of metformin-exposed women with T2DM have less large infants and are less adipose at birth, but are also more likely to be small for gestational age (SGA). These effects could lead to benefit or harm in the long-term. Offspring of MiTy mothers are currently being followed up to 2 years. Given that long-term effects may not be evident until 5 years of age, it is imperative to follow these children longer. Goals/Research Aims:To determine whether in-utero exposure to metformin, in offspring of women with T2DM, is beneficial or harmful in the long-term. Research Questions: 1. In offspring of women with T2DM, how does treatment with metformin during pregnancy affect a) adiposity b) growth over time c) metabolic syndrome d) cognitive and behavioral measures:2. What factors predict altered childhood adiposity and insulin resistance in these offspring? Primary Outcome: Body mass index (BMI) z-score. Secondary Outcomes: 1) other measures of adiposity (i.e. skinfolds, 2) growth over time 3) measures of insulin resistance 4) adipocytokines 5)neurodevelopment Expected Outcomes Given these increasing concerns, this study will inform the best treatment for pregnant mothers with diabetes by studying the long-term outcomes of children exposed to metformin during pregnancy.
Type 1 diabetes has been poorly characterised, with very sparse information available in the literature about the characteristics of the disease in Africa. Atypical young onset diabetes is often reported by clinicians in sub-Saharan Africa, including patients who have the phenotype of type 1 diabetes but do not appear to have an absolute insulin requirement. The onset of type 1 diabetes in many sub-Saharan African populations seem to occur at later ages (20s to 40s) than what is generally seen in Caucasian populations. The investigators seek to characterise young-onset insulin treated diabetes (clinically diagnosed type 1 diabetes) in sub-Saharan Africa;
Regular exercise during pregnancy and postpartum leads to health benefits for mother and child. Inactivity during pregnancy and after delivery is now treated as risky behavior. Physically active pregnant women significantly less often suffer from, among others, gestational diabetes, excessive weight gain, lipids disorders, hypertension, preeclampsia, depressive symptoms, functional and structural disorders, including stress urinary incontinence, back pain or diastasis recti abdominis (DRA). Prenatal physical activity reduces the risk of premature delivery and miscarriage, fetal macrosomia, complications in labor or the risk of metabolic disorders in children. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has become one of the most popular trends in the fitness sector. The effectiveness of HIIT on a number of health indicators has been proven in various populations but limited data are available on HIIT during pregnancy. The first hypothesis is that the HIIT, implemented during pregnancy and after childbirth, as a stronger exercise stimulus, will have a better impact on selected biological and psychological parameters of mothers, as well as on selected health parameters of their children, compared to the MICT (moderate intensity continuous training). Therefore, it promises better preventive effects on pregnancy complications and ailments as well as non-communicable diseases occurring in these populations. In the second hypothesis, it was assumed that HIIT and MICT implemented during pregnancy and after childbirth, tailored to the specific needs of the perinatal period, will not differ in the effectiveness of maintaining normal functional parameters in women, including prevention of urinary incontinence, back pain, DRA, etc. Pregnant women who apply for the study will be divided into three groups: those attending the HIIT, MICT or educational programs. During the study, the participants will be under standard obstetric care. As comparative groups, non-pregnant women will be also recruited. The investigators will collect data on selected biological, functional and psychological parameters in the study women at each trimester of pregnancy, during the puerperium and one year after childbirth. The data from the medical documentation on the course of childbirth and the assessment of the new-born, as well as the results of preventive examinations in the study women's children aged one, two, four and six years will be also analyzed.
Background: In the U.S., about 53 million informal, unpaid caregivers provide care to a person who is ill, is disabled, or has age-related loss of function. These caregivers may be adult children, spouses, parents, or others. The stress of providing long-term care affects caregivers health and well-being. Researchers want to learn more about this stress and its effects. Objective: To learn how the caregiving process affects the health and well-being of caregivers over time. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 years and older who are caregivers for a person with a chronic medical condition and who have already given consent to take part in other study activities. Design: Participants will be put in different groups. They will complete some or all of the following tasks over 1 year. They may repeat these tasks once a year for up to 5 years. Participants will fill out 2 online surveys. One will ask about their health and their caregiving experience. The other will ask them to list people in their social network and their care recipient s social network who give them support. Participants will have a 2-part phone interview. It will be audio recorded. In part 1, they will be asked about the people they listed in the survey. In part 2, they will be asked about their caregiving experience and events in the care recipient s life. Participants may fill out a weeklong diary every 3 months. It will ask about their daily social activities, well-being, and stress levels. It will also ask about their thoughts and feelings about caregiving. Participants may give a blood sample each year they are in the study. ...

In the United States, the growing Hispanic/Latino population is at high risk for type 2 diabetes and associated complications, yet underserved in healthcare and underrepresented in research. The purpose of this Sansum Diabetes Research Institute (SDRI) study is to create an HbA1c testing and support closed-loop system for U.S. Hispanic/Latino families. This loop will integrate Abbott's point-of-care (POC) technology with SDRI's Community Scientist Model to contact, test, intervene, and monitor Latinos with or at risk of type 2 diabetes for HbA1c levels. This study is built on prior work using specially trained Hispanic/Latino Community Scientists/Especialistas to support engagement with and encourage adherence to American Diabetes Association guidelines for HbA1c testing among Hispanic/Latino adults with type 2 diabetes. The study is an unblinded, nonrandomized, two arm self-controlled single center study. It is anticipated to run over 24 months and enroll 750 participants, in whom HbA1c will be measured over 6 months. This study will provide unique data on the burden of type 2 diabetes for Hispanic/Latino adults in Santa Barbara County, CA. In addition, the closed-loop approach will provide proof-of-concept evidence for scaling this approach to the larger Hispanic/Latino community to reduce the risk of poor outcomes due to type 2 diabetes and now COVID-19.
