Filter by:Diabetes education and self-management support can be delivered via mobile phones. This protocol aims to assess the feasibility and acceptability of Well Feet, a conversational agent, as a diabetic foot care companion. By utilizing feedback and responses to evaluative questions posted on the app's interface, the investigators intend to examine the app's technical, functional, and operational feasibility.
This study is a pilot RCT to examine the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary effectiveness of a 6-week acceptance-based diabetes education programme (ACT-DE) on diabetes distress, self-care efficacy and behaviours of adults with type 2 diabetes in Hong Kong. It is hypothesise that the ACT-DE programme will: - Be acceptable, feasible and beneficial for adults with type 2 diabetes to improve their psychological distress and self-care. - Significantly reduce participants' diabetes distress (primary outcomes), when compared with the usual care (control) group immediately post-intervention; - Significantly improve self-care efficacy, self-care behaviour and psychological flexibility (secondary outcomes) than the control group immediately post-intervention.
This RCT study will evaluate the effect of a lifestyle intervention on overweight or obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The primary hypothesis is that the mHealth-based intensive lifestyle intervention is sufficient to achieve weight loss and maintain glycated hemoglobin control.
Stigma due to health conditions increases disease burden and adversely impacts health. The internalization of health-related stigma is associated with impaired mental health and quality of life. The current project will test the effects of a novel, transdiagnostic, group counseling intervention, and peer support, to determine the optimal method for helping patients cope with health-related stigma, reducing its internalization, and enhancing patient quality of life.
This research is being done because people with diabetes have reduced healing capacity and prone to develop infections of foot wounds. This can be problematic because wounds that become infected may result in amputation and more severe complications. New evidence suggests that a better understanding of the microbiome of wounds (e.g., bacterial presence) may provide information about wound healing and provide an earlier opportunity to identify an individual who may be prone to develop diabetic foot infection in their wound. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of the microbiome of the diabetic foot ulcer in development of infection and wound healing. Once the role of the microbiome is confirmed, progress towards the prevention and treatment of diabetic foot ulcers and complications may be possible.
Subclinical diastolic dysfunction represents the early phase of diabetic cardiomyopathy and is a common complication among type 2 diabetic patients that increases mortality rate among those patients and can progress to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Trimetazidine is an anti-ischemic agent widely used in the treatment of coronary artery disease and it has positive effects on energy metabolism in heart failure. Therefore, we hypothesized that trimetazidine may have potential benefit on the amelioration of the inflammatory insult and improving the clinical outcomes in patients with diabetic cardiomyopathy especially if applied in the early stages.
The purpose of this study is to examine the intervention effectiveness and dissemination of digital health care delivery models for improving selected health outcomes in the Medicaid population.
Glycemic control is often the main indicator of successful diabetes care, but a singular focus on glycemic control may lead to patients' overall health and wellbeing being overlooked or undervalued. The investigators have previously developed an intervention comprised of (a) a set of conversation cards designed to enable patients to identify aspects of life with diabetes important to them and to share them with their clinician to obtain their input; and (b) materials that help clinicians respond to patient concerns. The investigators will now conduct a randomized clinical trial to test the feasibility of the research procedures and efficacy of the intervention with respect to patient reported outcome measures.
Focusing on patients with diabetes complicated with pulmonary infection, the purpose of this study is: 1) to identify the epidemiology, etiologic spectrum and status of diagnosis and treatment; 2) to explore the lower respiratory microenvironment and host immune response and then make an application in clinic.
The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the bioavailability and therefore to assess the bioequivalence of two different formulations of metformin/sitagliptin after a single oral dose administration under fed conditions.
