Filter by:In Turkey, only 55% of patients with type 2 diabetes have been diagnosed, and 91% of these patients have been receiving treatment. The rate of patients reaching the treatment target is 50%. The pandemic has also affected diabetic patients. It is aimed to determine the characteristics of patients with type 2 diabetes (HbA1c >=10) with poor metabolic control and to evaluate the extent to which metabolic control can be achieved in 12 months.
A body of animal studies as well as observational studies in humans demonstrated that butyrate is one SCFA that has pronounced positive effects on body weight control, inflammation, and insulin resistance. Even though the SCFA hexanoate is less researched, it has been shown to be involved in anti-inflammatory processes. Of note, acute human studies showed that fibre-induced metabolic improvements are linked to higher SCFA levels in the systemic circulation. We previously showed that a butyrate/hexanoate-enriched triglyceride oil enhanced systemic butyrate and hexanoate concentrations for a prolonged time. Yet, it remains to be determined whether a chronic increase in circulating butyrate and hexanoate concentrations translate into long-term benefits. We hypothesize that a chronic increase of butyrate/hexanoate in the circulation may improve host metabolism and metabolic health by improving adipose tissue function, reducing systemic lipid overflow and inflammation thereby increasing peripheral insulin sensitivity in individual with overweight/obesity and prediabetes.
The aim of this study is to investigate the early effects of Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) applied before and after bariatric surgery on respiratory function, respiratory muscle strength and functional capacity in individuals with type 2 diabetes. The study will be conducted with 40 individuals with type 2 diabetes aged between 25-65. Individuals will be randomly assigned to the IMT (trained at 30% of maximum inspiratory pressure with an IMT threshold device) and control group. As measurement parameters, a 6-minute walk test for functional capacity, a spirometry test for respiratory function, and a portable device (Cosmed Pony FX Desktop Spirometer, USA) will be used for respiratory muscle strength. Hand grip strength will be measured with a Baseline dynamometer. All measurements will be repeated on the first day before surgery and on the fourth day before discharge after surgery.
The overall aim is to identify the dietary pattern for prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes. The specific aim of this pilot project is to compare effects of two diets with different diurnal distribution of carbohydrates and protein on the glucose metabolism in subjects with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes and its effects on inflammatory status.
To conduct a randomized crossover trial to determine the acute impact of low-intensity movement breaks on glycemic control in physically inactive individuals living with type 2 diabetes using continuous glucose monitoring.
To conduct a randomized crossover trial to determine the acute impact of exercise snacks on glycemic control in physically inactive individuals living with type 2 diabetes using continuous glucose monitoring.
The Military Health and Nutrition Examination Study (MHANES) is a Department of Defense funded study conducted by Pennington Biomedical Research Center and the US Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine. This cross-sectional study will assess, in a large, diverse sample of Army Service Members (n=600), food and supplement intake, cardiovascular health, body composition, biomarkers of nutritional status, measures of health status, injury prevalence, mental wellbeing, gut microbiome composition, and physical performance outcomes. The proposed study is modeled after the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and customized for the Army population.
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a common condition in which the upper airways (windpipe) collapse repeatedly during sleep, blocking the flow of air into the lungs. It is characterized by repetitive pauses in breathing during sleep, despite the effort to breathe, and is associated with a reduction in the amount of oxygen in the blood (oxygen saturation). People with OSA are at risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, depression, and premature death. OSA is usually treated using a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine. This involves the patient wearing a face mask during sleep which is connected to the machine which supplies a constant steam of air to help keep the airways open. This improves the symptoms and hopefully the long-term outlook, but it is an uncomfortable solution. OSA is associated with obesity and weight loss can improve or even cure it. Treatment with EndoBarrier (placement of a thin flexible tube that is placed inside your intestine creating a physical barrier between the intestinal wall and the food so less can be absorbed) can be associated with significant weight loss and can improve blood sugar control in patients with type 2 diabetes related to their weight (diabesity). This study aims to find out if EndoBarrier treatment can improve OSA in patients with diabesity to the extent that some patients no longer require their CPAP machine treatment.
Patients with type 2 diabetes have an increased risk of developing vascular complications. Microvascular dysfunction might be caused by the increased production of methylglyoxal under hyperglycaemic conditions. Methylglyoxal is a by-product of glycolysis and forms advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) on proteins and DNA, thereby disrupting their function. Preventing methylglyoxal accumulation and AGEs formation may offer a therapeutic option for treating microvascular complications in diabetics. Pyridoxamine is a vitamin B6 vitamer that scavenges methylglyoxal and thereby inhibits the formation of AGEs. In this study, the researchers investigate whether pyridoxamine supplementation in type 2 diabetes improves microvascular function in the eye, kidney and skin, and reduces markers of endothelial dysfunction and glycation.
This study is evaluating a behavioral treatment program that uses diabetes coaching and financial rewards in addition to continuous glucose monitoring to improve diabetes management in adult patients with type 2 diabetes. This study will evaluate if this behavioral treatment program increases individual adherence to a diabetes treatment plan and improves blood sugar management.
