Filter by:The study is aimed at Type 2 Diabetics who are taking Metformin, but whose Diabetes remains poorly controlled. There are two additional medications already in use, Glimepiride and Sitagliptin will be compared to assess levels of improvement in Diabetes control.
This study will evaluate the effects of nebivolol on glycemic control compared with metoprolol and HCTZ in patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus
Patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus have an higher risk developing secondary disorders. In an epidemiological longitudinal study of about 1.150 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus we investigate determinants and predictors for long-term prognosis. The patients are recruited and supervised in practices of general practitioners of the administrative district of Ludwigsburg/Heilbronn (Baden-Württemberg, Germany). In a subgroup of about 200 patients with a dissatisfactory metabolic status (HbA1c > 7,5%) a randomised interventional study is performed. The intervention comprises a telephone counseling by the medical secretary of each practice executed in a predefined period of time. The outcome parameters of interest are the change of HbA1c, the development of secondary disorders and adverse events, quality of life and risk factor control, as well as hospitalization and mortality. The aim of the study was to develop an patient-centred instrument implementable in the routine medical care in order to enhance the prognosis of patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus.
This worksite program for Onondaga County employees is a pilot research study aimed at decreasing the risk of developing diabetes (or improving metabolic control for adults with diabetes). The main goal is to improve the nutrition and physical habits of the participants, and promote weight loss in those who are overweight. The investigators will also examine factors that predict participation in the program and influence a participant's outcome/success in the program.
The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn if BMS-512148 (Dapagliflozin) can help reduce the blood sugar levels in subjects with Type 2 Diabetes who are not well controlled on diet and exercise alone. The safety of this treatment will also be studied
In recent years, vitamin D has been shown not only to be important for bone and calcium metabolism but also for homeostasis of critical tissues involved in vascular disease in patients with diabetes. Epidemiological studies indicated the high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among Type 2 DM patients and suggest an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and hypertension with low vitamin D levels. The objective of this proposal is to evaluate the effects of vitamin D replacement on blood pressure control and vascular disease in vitamin D deficient hypertensive patients with diabetes
This study is designed to compare the short-term effects and mechanisms of action of exenatide with those of sitagliptin when either is added to an oral agent(metformin or a thiazolidinedione [TZD]) in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) with inadequate glycemic control.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a low-fat or low-glycemic load diet is more effective for controlling weight and blood glucose in persons with type 2 diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to assess platelet dependent thrombogenicity in patients after acute coronary syndrome using an ex vivo arterial injury model.
Patients with diabetes are more likely to develop furring of their coronary arteries and present with angina and heart attacks. Furthermore, after such an event, they have poorer outcomes (higher rates of death) and survivors are more likely to have recurring symptoms. Using a novel "clotting chamber" the investigators have shown that patients with diabetes are more likely to develop blood clots. This study will look at the role of different blood thinning medications in patients with diabetes. If successful, the investigators will provide evidence to conduct large clinical studies to look at the role of additional blood thinning medication in reducing heart attacks and strokes in patients with diabetes.
