View clinical trials related to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Filter by:Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has become a significant pandemic with more than 7% of the population in the United States affected. Moreover, up to one-third of these individuals may not be aware of the diagnosis and, are not involved in treatment. In the Mexican-American population, prevalence rates may be up to 50%. Contributing factors such as poor education, low household income, language barriers and restricted access to medical services may increase this prevalence. The association between periodontal disease and diabetes has been well documented; however, interventional studies have resulted in conflicting conclusions on improvements in glycemic control following periodontal therapy. Diabetes and periodontal disease share common pathways in pathogenesis, such as their polygenic nature and immunoregulatory dysfunction. To answer these questions, we, the investigators, propose this randomized controlled trial designed to elucidate how treatment of periodontal disease can be used for preventive and therapeutic purposes in a diabetic population as well as to study the role of IL-1 gene cluster polymorphisms as a risk factor for the presence of periodontitis in a Hispanic T2DM population. Our central hypothesis is that the Mexican-American T2DM population in Texas is at risk for an increased presence and severity of periodontal disease due to the presence of Il-1 gene cluster polymorphisms; furthermore we suggest that providing non-surgical periodontal therapy to this group will decrease the bacterial load associated with disease and as a consequence, will improve glycemic control as measured by HbA1c values. Our long-term goal is to study risk factors associated with the presence of periodontal disease and to understand how the treatment of periodontal disease can be used for preventive and therapeutic purposes in a Hispanic type 2 diabetic population.
Evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of a 12-week treatment of 4 doses of ASP1941 compared to placebo in combination with metformin in adult patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus who have inadequate glycemic control on metformin alone.
This was an observational, prospective, multicentric study conducted in a cohort of subjects with type 2 diabetes and prescribed with Glucophage XR therapy from hospitals or clinics in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines and Singapore. Glucophage XR is being used in the Asia Pacific region for the treatment of subjects with type 2 diabetes. This study was designed to provide information on the day to-day experience of using Glucophage XR in the management of subjects with type 2 diabetes and its use in routine clinical practice in Asia Pacific region.
The purpose of the study is to assess the performance of a new subcutaneous glucose sensor over a seven-day sensor life when used with currently marketed Medtronic Diabetes devices. In addition performance will be calculated for use of the new sensor with proposed new devices using new calibration algorithms.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether saxagliptin can reduce the risk of cardiovascular events when used alone or added to other diabetes medications
The purpose of this study is to prove effect of glucose reduction that CKD-501 and metformin combination treatment group is non inferiority compare to pioglitazone and metformin combination.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether AZD1656 will affect the pharmacokinetics (PK) of digoxin in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether AZD1656 will affect the Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Warfarin in T2DM patients.
Conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs) comprise a family of linoleic acid (18:2n-6; LA) isomers that are formed by biohydrogenation and oxidation processes in nature. The main form of CLA, cis-9, trans-11-18:2, can be produced directly by bacterial hydrogenation in the rumen or by delta-9 desaturation of the co-product vaccenic acid (trans-11-18:1) in most mammalian tissues including man. The second most abundant isomer of CLA is the trans-10, cis-12-18:2 form. Observations clearly emphasize that differences exist between mammalian species in their response to CLAs with mice being the most sensitive. The majority of studies on body compositional effects (i.e. fat loss, lean gain), on cancer and cardiovascular disease attenuation, on insulin sensitivity and diabetes and on immune function have been conducted with a variety of animal models. Recent studies indicate that some but not all of the effects observed in animals also pertain to human volunteers. Reports of detrimental effects of CLA intake appear to be largely in mice and due mainly to the trans-10, cis-12 isomer. Suggestions of possible deleterious effects in man due to an increase in oxidative lipid products (isoprostanes) with trans-10, cis-12 CLA ingestion require substantiation. Unresponsiveness to antioxidants of these non-enzymatic oxidation products casts some doubt on their physiological relevance. We hypothesized that supplementation with CLA + an antioxidant (vitamin E) in patients with diabetes mellitus may have beneficial effects on glycemic control and insulin sensitivity.
The goal of this proposal is to integrate depression services into improving adherence for oral hypoglycemic agents so that a single program can assist patients. The investigators hypothesized that patients in the intervention would demonstrate improved adherence to patients' oral hypoglycemic agents and antidepressants as well as improved clinical outcomes.
