Filter by:This study looks at the way a new medicine tablet called semaglutide moves in and throughout the body over time. It will also look at if the medicine is safe and the body can accept it. The new medicine is planned to treat diabetes. The aim of the study is to see how semaglutide tablets work in healthy people who are Chinese. Participants will either get oral semaglutide tablets or placebo (dummy) tablets - which treatment is decided by chance. The tablet form of semaglutide is a new medicine that cannot be prescribed. Doctors can prescribe semaglutide as an injection only. It is for the treatment of diabetes in some countries. Participants will get 1 tablet per day for 12 weeks (84 days). Participants will get 1 tablet a day to take with up to half a glass of water (maximum 120 mL). Participants must take the tablet first thing in the morning on an empty stomach (water is allowed until 2 hours before taking the tablet). After taking the tablet, participants must not eat or drink anything for at least 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, they can have their first meal of the day and take any other medicines they may need, such as birth control tablets, routine vitamins and use of paracetamol at times.
This study is comparing three programs to reduce Diabetes Distress (the worries and concerns that people with diabetes may experience as they struggle to keep blood glucose levels in range) in adults with type 1 diabetes. About a third of participants will take part in the TunedIn program, about a third will take part in the FixIt program, and about a third in the StreamLine program.
Continuous Glucose Monitoring collected using the iPro device, to complete a large dataset consisting of routine electronic health records, biological, neurophysiological, physiological, and glycemic data. This dataset will eventually contribute to the further development and optimization of a comprehensive simulation, training, and clinical decision support system designed to contribute the optimization of glycemic control in the hospital and critical care setting.
Preoperative carbohydrate drink intake attenuate insulin resistance. However, carbohydrate loading may compromise blood glucose control in patients with diabetes. There is some evidence that oral carbohydrate loading may be safe in patients with type 2 diabetes. Therefore, the investigators aim to evaluate whether preoperative carbohydrate intake affects insulin resistance and glycemic variability in patients with diabetes. Fifty patients scheduled for total knee arthroplasty will be divided into carbohydrate (n=25) and control (n=25) groups. Randomly selected patients of the carbohydrate group are given 400ml of 12.8 g/100 ml carbohydrate beverage 2-3 hours before their scheduled operation. In contrast, patients in the control group are fasted from water 2 hours before surgery according to standard protocol.
The current study aims to spot the light on the possible role of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) level of Chemerin and FGF21 to study their potential role as biomarkers of periodontal disease and to understand their role in the link between periodontitis and diabetes . The study will be conducted on three groups; group (A) include fifteen controlled T2 DM patients suffering from periodontitis, group (B) include fifteen patients suffering from periodontitis alone, and group C) include fifteen periodontally and medically healthy individuals. GCF samples will be collected from all participants for assessment of Chemerin and FGF 21. Samples will be analysed using ELISA technique.
The study is designed to approve non-inferior efficacy and safety of Rinsulin® NPH compared to Humulin® NPH.
The aim of this feasibility study was to describe and report data relevant to the acceptability of an exercise intervention (reduced-exertion, high-intensity interval training) in non-diabetic hyperglycaemia patients delivered in a National Health Service setting.
The number of people with diabetes is rising. One of the major causes of premature death in diabetes is heart failure (HF). This is when the heart cannot pump blood effectively, and this may be related to abnormalities in energy production in the heart muscle. In healthy people, the heart muscle cells show flexibility and can use both sugar and fat molecules for energy production. Although burning fat provides more energy, this process requires more oxygen than burning sugars. As a result, fat is a less efficient fuel for the heart compared to sugars, especially in situations where the energy and oxygen needs are higher, such as during exercise. The investigators propose that the heart muscle in patients with type 2 diabetes relies heavily on fat for energy provision, and fails to burn more sugar molecules for energy provision during exercise to more efficiently use oxygen. Fat and sugar uptake by the heart can be detected by the difference between the blood sugar and fat levels delivered to the heart and returning from the heart, both at rest and also when the heart is working faster during Dobutamine infusion. Dobutamine is a drug frequently used to mimic exercise, and get the heart running faster during medical tests. To test the hypothesis, the investigators will assess fat and sugar uptake by the heart at rest and when the heart is running faster, in patients with type 2 diabetes undergoing investigations to rule out coronary disease. Heart function, and blood supply to heart muscle, at rest and during Dobutamine infusion, will also be measured using MRI scanning. The same tests will be performed in people without diabetes for comparison. It will help understand diabetic heart disease and which aspects may be targeted with new treatments.
Current guidelines for the prevention and treatment of obesity focus on caloric restriction diets and increasing physical activity, but long-term compliance to these strategies is poor. The timing of meal intake relative to the light-dark and sleep-wake cycle is rarely considered in metabolic health; and modifying meal timing is likely easier to implement in daily life than reducing caloric intake and/or increasing physical activity. This project will test whether restricting the timing of energy intake to a short-defined period during wakefulness can be used to improve fuel utilization patterns and enhance circadian rhythms in metabolic tissues to optimize health.
T-PLUS (Thunder PLUS) is the code name of a blood glucose monitoring system (BGMS) consisting of a new meter and CONTOUR PLUS test strips. The meter can wirelessly transmit BG results using Bluetooth® Low Energy technology to the meter mobile application that will be available on specified versions of the iOS and Android mobile platforms. This clinical trial will assess the performance (accuracy) of the T-PLUS meters by lay users enrolled as subjects in the study, and by health care professionals (also called study staff).
