Filter by:Central hypothesis is: Gastric bypass surgery reduces the risk of CVD in morbidly obese subjects (defined as BMI ≥35 kg/m2) with T2DM. To determine whether surgically induced weight loss decreases the risk of CVD in morbidly obese subjects with T2DM. I hypothesize that patients with T2DM who undergo gastric bypass surgery will significantly reduce mean levels of risk factors for CVD compared with diabetic individuals with the same BMI who maintain their weight.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of rosiglitazone on bone metabolism and to assess the association between the changes in bone turnover parameters and plasma cytokine levels in postmenopausal diabetic women
In type 2 diabetic patients, tight blood glucose control often requires both fasting and post-prandial glucose control separately. In the diabetic patients already on the insulin glargine treatment for the control of fasting blood glucose, additional measures for the control of post-prandial glucose level are often required. Nateglinide and acarbose are frequently used for this purpose. We hypothesized that the short acting sulfonylurea "nateglinide" may be more efficacious in diabetic patients with appreciable endogenous insulin secretion, while acarbose may be more efficacious in patients with lower endogenous insulin secretion. And we also want to clarify the clinical and biochemical parameters that can predict the responsiveness to each agent in this multi-center randomized open cross-over clinical study.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether there are differences in postprandial endothelial function following a high-AGE(Advanced Glycation End-products) meal vs. a low-AGE meal. We also intend to investigate if the therapy with 1050mg Benfotiamine for 3 days protects against the postulated deterioration of endothelial function after a high-AGE meal in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
The purpose of the randomized trial is to quantify the effect of vitamin D and calcium supplementation on beta-cell function, insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance and systemic inflammation and other cardiometabolic outcomes in ambulatory adults at high risk for type 2 diabetes.
This study in Germany is designed to compare the effects of twice-daily exenatide plus metformin and twice-daily premixed human insulin aspart plus metformin with respect to glycemic control, as measured by HbA1c, combined with the percentage of patients with at least one treatment-emergent hypoglycemic episode. Patients will be treated with study therapy for approximately 26 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to collect important information regarding the glucose-lowering efficacy of MBX-2044 and the safety of MBX-2044 (especially weight gain and edema) in diabetics. It will also provide important information about the appropriate doses to be used in subsequent longer-term studies to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MBX-2044 alone and in combination with other anti-diabetic agents.
Diabetes mellitus is the most common metabolic disorder worldwide. Some herbs are traditionally used in treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Urtica Dioica (UD) or stinging nettle is traditionally used in Morocco, Turkey, Brasil, Jordan and with much frequency in northern Iran. Studies on animal models along with in vitro studies has shown hypoglycemic effect for aqueous extract of UD. This study aimed to investigate hypoglycemic effects of UD tea bags in patients with T2DM on glycemic control, insulin sensitivity, along with its effects on lipid profile (LP), blood pressure (BP), liver, and kidney function.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by progressive deterioration in the function of the pancreatic beta-cells, which are the cells that produce and secrete insulin (the hormone primarily responsible for the handling of glucose in the body). The investigators propose a double-blind, randomized controlled pilot study comparing the effect of sitagliptin (a novel anti-diabetic drug with beta-cell protective potential) versus placebo, on the preservation of beta-cell function over one year in patients with T2DM on metformin, the first-line agent for the treatment of T2DM (ie. the study groups will be (i) sitagliptin and metformin versus (ii) placebo and metformin). This study may demonstrate an important beta-cell protective capacity of sitagliptin. Hypothesis: In patients with T2DM on metformin, treatment with the DPP-IV inhibitor sitagliptin will preserve pancreatic beta-cell function.
Dietary carbohydrate is the major determinant of postprandial glucose levels, and preliminary evidence suggests that low carbohydrate diets improve glycemic control when accompanied by weight loss. To determine if glycemic control can be improved by varying dietary carbohydrate during weight loss, we compared two weight loss diets with different carbohydrate levels for the treatment of obesity-related type 2 diabetes over 24 weeks in the outpatient setting.
