Filter by:Colostrum is the milk that is first produced by a mother after giving birth. It plays a key role in the normal early development of mammals by providing substances that are important for nutrition, immunological defence and healthy growth and development. Research has shown that the immunoglobulins, antimicrobial peptides and growth factors in dairy colostrum and early season milk from cows are nearly identical to human. After puberty our bodies begin the aging process, and gradually produce less immune and growth factors that resist disease and heal tissue. Colostrum is a natural source of these life-enhancing components. Research shows that colostrum supports immune function and can help use fat for fuel and optimise cellular reproduction. Colostrum is receiving an increasing amount of interest in the healthcare community because of the potential benefits it can offer to a variety of patient groups by boosting the body's immune response, encouraging growth and repair in the gut, stabilising gut microflora and supporting better nutritional absorption and muscle growth. Diabetes is a chronic condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality predominantly from associated chronic diseases. Currently within the UK approximately 5% of NHS spend is in relation to type 2 diabetes alone. Within Wales, approximately £256 million is spent on the care of these patients. Estimates suggest that people with type 2 diabetes have the disease for approximately 10 years before diagnosis, during which complications become well established including dyslipidaemia and hypertension. Additionally, many of these people are overweight or obese before they develop diabetes. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes continues to increase despite recent advances in our understanding of the basic physiology of glucose control. There is a clear association between inflammation, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. We aim to target inflammation levels seen in those with impaired glucose homeostasis such as impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), collectively called pre-diabetes.
The purpose of the study is to collect information on how Rybelsus® works in people with type 2 diabetes and to see if Rybelsus® can lower their blood sugar levels. Participants will get Rybelsus® as prescribed to them by the study doctor. The study will last for about 8-10 months. Participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire about how they take their Rybelsus® tablets. Participants will complete this questionnaire during their normally scheduled visit with the study doctor. Participants will be asked to complete some questionnaires about their diabetes treatment. Participants will complete these during normally scheduled visits with the study doctor.

The proposed project will use community based participatory research to adapt an existing diabetes self-management and education intervention with a telehealth intervention to be culturally relevant for rural English- and Spanish-speaking populations. Participants and care partners will receive a one-time, 5.5-hour telehealth intervention from a multidisciplinary team specializing in diabetes. The overarching aim of this study is to provide a sustainable model to provide diabetes specialty care to rural populations.
The Fruit and Vegetable Prescription Program Study is a pilot randomized controlled trial of patients with type 2 diabetes participating in a fruit and vegetable prescription program from a Federally Qualified Health Center in Detroit, MI . Changes in hemoglobin A1C (%), blood pressure (BP) and weight (lbs.) will be assessed changes to discern the impact on those that participated in a fruit and vegetable prescription program compared to those that received non-incentivized diabetes standard of care.
Participants will receive one insulin icodec dose, which will be administered in the morning of the day of dosing. The study will last for about 8 weeks. Participants will have 8 visits with the study doctor in the clinical research unit. Insulin icodec will be injected into a skin fold with a small needle (subcutaneous application) using a pen injector prefilled with a volume of 3 mL (about a spoonful). Participants must not participate if they meet certain conditions called exclusion criteria, such as an age of below 18 years or above 70 years, if participants are over- or underweight, using certain medicines, or have serious health conditions (other than impaired liver function ). Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to become pregnant during the study period.
The visceral adiposity index (VAI) has been developed, an indicator for the metabolic function of VAT. Previous studies have confirmed the association between the VAI and CKD prevalence. In this study, we attempted to investigate the association between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline and visceral adiposity.
The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered extremely high hospitalization rates where mitigation strategies are urgently necessary to aid vulnerable Hispanic and Latino populations who are experiencing health disparities as well as high type 2 diabetes (T2D) prevalence with poor clinical outcomes when compared to non-Hispanic populations. The supplemental Dulce Digital-COVID Aware (DD-CA) intervention addresses specific barriers in diverse underserved Hispanic and Latino communities to improve glucose control and lower transmission of COVID-19 during a highly vulnerable period post hospitalization discharge, to reduce hospital readmission rates. This supplement will integrate COVID educational messaging with glucose management messaging within a low-cost, easily adoptable digital texting platform and offer critical information in a culturally and linguistically relevant manner to address specific barriers in diverse underserved communities.
Fast-acting insulin aspart (faster aspart) will be tested to see how well it works and if it is safe. The study compares 2 medicines for type 1 and type 2 diabetes - faster aspart (a new medicine) and insulin aspart (a medicine doctors can already prescribe). Participants will either get faster aspart or insulin aspart (NovoRapid®) - which treatment is decided by chance. Both medicines will be taken together with insulin degludec. Participants will need to take 1 injection 4 times every day: 3 injections 0-2 minutes before breakfast, lunch and dinner and 1 injection at the same time every day. All study medicines are provided in pens. A pen is a tool to inject insulin under the skin.The study will last for about 7 months (30 weeks). Participants will have 11 clinic visits and 17 phone contacts with the study doctor. At 8 clinic visits participants will have blood samples taken. At 3 clinic visits participants cannot eat or drink (water is allowed) 8 hours before the visits - at 2 of these visits participants will be asked to drink a liquid meal and to stay at the clinic for about 5 hours. Participants will fill in a diary the last 3 days before the visits/phone contacts. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to become pregnant during the study period.
a food collection will be performed in this study with type 1 diabetic patients trained to carbohydrate counting, to collect data on the meals consumed daily and their quantities for a period of 1 month.
