Filter by:The purpose of this study is to access liraglutide influence brown adipose tissue recruitment and its thermogenic effect through hypothalamic activation in obese individuals.
The proposed study is a randomized controlled, pilot effectiveness trial comparing the LoBAG diet to a control diet in 38 participants with DM2 over 12 weeks. Participants will have DM2 that is not under ideal glycemic control (HgbA1c 7.0-9.5%) and must be taking no glycemic medications or metformin. Participants will be free-living (given diet instruction and dietitian support, but asked to prepare meals in their own homes). The primary endpoint will be HgbA1c, measured at baseline and at the end of the 12-week diet intervention. Additional outcome measures will include: weight, fasting plasma glucose, fasting serum insulin, postprandial plasma glucose and serum insulin following a test meal consistent with the assigned diet, serum fructosamine, fasting serum lipids, stool samples for gut microbiome analysis, and surveys to assess quality of life, including the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire. Compliance outcomes will include: urine nitrogen to creatinine ratio, survey data, three-day food diaries, and unannounced 24-hour diet recalls.
The TAPESTRY-HC-DM approach is designed to support self-management of chronic disease by strengthening connections between patients and the primary healthcare system through "health connectors" -both volunteers and technology including the TAPESTRY Healthy Lifestyle App and McMaster Personal Health Record (PHR). It will explore whether strengthening primary care connections across patients, providers, and community organizations through TAPESTRY-HC-DM - i.e., the deployment of volunteer health connectors coordinated by a community organization, the use of the TAPESTRY Healthy Lifestyle e-Application by patients, and care coordination processes by the interprofessional primary healthcare team - can increase self-efficacy in managing chronic conditions.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of bexagliflozin in lowering hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Primary Objective: To assess the postprandial glucodynamic response to 2 doses of insulin glargine/lixisenatide fixed-ratio combination compared to placebo in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Secondary Objectives: - To assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of lixisenatide following administration of 2 different doses of insulin glargine/lixisenatide fixed-ratio combination in Japanese patients with T2DM. - To assess the postprandial glucodynamic response to insulin glargine/lixisenatide fixed-ratio combination compared to insulin glargine alone in Japanese patients with T2DM. - To assess the safety and tolerability of insulin glargine/lixisenatide fixed-ratio combination in Japanese patients with T2DM.
Type 2 diabetes is common in the United States; about 1 in 10 people have the disease. Diabetes can cause devastating health events, such as hospitalizations, kidney failure, blindness, amputation, heart attack, stroke, painful nerve damage (neuropathy), and death. There are many barriers for patients with diabetes that get in the way of controlling risk factors, following recommendations, and getting the care they need from the health system to help prevent these complications; this is especially true for those with other health problems too. Those living in poverty and racial/ethnic minorities are more likely to have complications from diabetes, and less likely to get recommended care from health systems. In order to improve care and outcomes for people with complex medical problems, several states have started the Medicaid Health Home (HH) program, including New York State (NYS) in 2012. This program is for people with two or more chronic health conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease, people with HIV, and people with a serious mental health condition. HHs are meant to manage and coordinate care, by helping health care providers, social service agencies, community-based organizations, and health insurance plans work together. Similar programs have been shown, on a smaller scale, to improve some results for patients with diabetes, such as lab tests indicating level of diabetes control. Studies have not yet looked at how a large program like HHs impacts the way healthcare is delivered and impacts the health events that matter most to patients with diabetes. Also, few studies include stakeholders on the research team, even though they stand to benefit the most from such programs, and have the experience needed as patients, clinicians, advocates, and administrators to guide efforts. The investigators have gathered a research team that includes scientific investigators along with a diverse group of partners, including patients, clinicians, and program administrators. The investigators plan to use two data sources that show what happens to individual patients over time: 1) NYS Medicaid insurance data 2) the New York City-Clinical Data Research Network (NYC-CDRN). The NYC-CDRN has identified a group of patients with diabetes from 7 large health systems; it has also developed a system for putting together the same set of information for each patient, and removing any identifying information. The investigator will look at patients who have diabetes and are part of a HH and study what happened to them over time. The investigator will also look at a comparison group of patients who are very similar to the HH patients, but they did not join a HH, and follow them over time. The investigator will then compare these two groups to each other. The investigator will look at the quality of healthcare they received and their health outcomes. The investigator will focus on health outcomes that are meaningful to patients. This study can provide important knowledge about the effects of the HH program on patients with diabetes.
With the emerging worldwide epidemic of type 2 diabetes, dietary recommendations to improve diabetes management have been emphasized in the scientific community. Particular attention has been drawn to various benefits of replacing saturated fatty acids with unsaturated fatty acids. Alpha-linolenic acid, the only omega-3 fatty acid that is from plant sources, has been suggested by animal and cell studies to play a beneficial role in regulating blood glucose levels. However, human studies have been more inconsistent with their findings. The focus of this project is to investigate the evidence in the context of ALA and blood glucose parameters in participants with type 2 diabetes by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Hypothesis: In patients, who have diabetes type 2, are treated with metformin, and are admitted for HF, leads to reduced insulin requirements, as measured in units of insulin, with no negative impact on patient safety. This is a single center, prospective trial. Subjects will be randomized to initiate metformin (starting dose 500mg orally once daily up to a maximum dose of 2,500mg daily) OR be placed on insulin products for management of their type 2 diabetes mellitus.
In the proposed study, hydroalcoholic Fenugreek seed extract will used add-on to the existing therapy in patients with type-2 diabetes. The efficacy and safety of the extract will be evaluated using standard methodology.
Diabetes-specific nutritional formulas (DSNFs) are frequently used as part of medical nutrition therapy for patients with type 2 diabetes in order to improve glycemic control and enhance weight reduction. The mechanism through which DSNFs improve postprandial (PP) plasma glucose is not yet known. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of 2 DSNFs versus oatmeal on PP plasma glucose, serum insulin and serum active glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), serum free fatty acids (FFA) and serum triglycerides (TG).
