Filter by:Background: Dedicated renal hemodynamic and renal function studies are lacking for DPP-4 inhibitors in patients with Type 2 diabetes; accordingly little is known regarding the mechanisms mediating the renal effects of DPP-4 inhibitors in humans. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of DPP-4 inhibition acutely (single dose) and following short-term therapy (28 days) on renal sodium handling and renal hemodynamics and function in patients with type 2 diabetes and systolic hypertension. Design: double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, Phase IV. Patient population: 32 patients with Type 2 diabetes, HbA1c (6.5%-9%), with systolic blood pressure ranging from 120-160 mmHg. Intervention: subjects will be randomized (1:1) to either sitagliptin (100 mg daily) or to placebo (1 tablet daily) for 28 days. Endpoints: Fractional excretion of sodium, renal function, and renal hemodynamics.
The aim of the Feel4Diabetes-study is to develop, implement and evaluate a community-based intervention aiming to create a more supportive social and physical environment to promote lifestyle and behaviour change to prevent type 2 diabetes among families from low and middle income countries and from vulnerable groups in high income countries in Europe.
This pilot study is planned to validate the comparability of HbA1c results obtained from whole blood collection via venous phlebotomy versus a capillary collection of whole blood. The participant will self-collect capillary blood into HbA1c prep vials containing a buffer; these prep vials will be sent to the CBL at ambient temperature via US Postal System (USPS) mail. The feasibility of self-collection of these capillary samples by GRADE participants will also be evaluated.
This study evaluates the beta cell function, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability after 4 weeks treatment of 75mgBID or 75mgQD of HMS5552.
The objective of this study is to explore the effects of two DPP-4 inhibitors(Sitagliptin, Saxagliptin) on β- and α-cell function, as well as the incretin effect.
The primary purpose of this study is to develop a behavioral lifestyle intervention and evaluate its effectiveness in improving the glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes in real life setting. This is because ambiguity still exists on the effectiveness of behavioral lifestyle interventions in routine clinical practice despite of the efficacy of large randomized controlled trials, suggesting the need for more research in this area.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of two levels of primary care physical activity interventions on metabolic control and cardiovascular risk factors, compared to usual care in patients with pre- and type 2 diabetes. The hypothesis is that both levels of interventions have effect on HbA1c with the more intense Group intervention having superior effects.
This is a single center, prospective randomized double blind, parallel and placebo controlled study to evaluate oxidative stress and inflammation before and after treatment with linagliptin for 12 weeks. We will also, testing whether Linagliptin is an insulin sensitizer.
Introduction: Changes in lifestyle are responsible for an important part of the type 2 diabetes epidemic of the last decennia. Current guidelines for physical activity focus mainly on high energy expenditure advising 30 minutes per day moderate to vigorous physical activity (most often physical exercise). Recent studies suggest that sitting has negative metabolic effects independent of the time spent exercising (Duvivier et al. PLOS ONE 2013). Low intensity physical activity (LIPA) -such as walking and standing- has been suggested to be an alternative to decrease the hyperglycaemic effect of sitting. Compared to exercise, LIPA might be a more feasible strategy. But, it remains to be determined whether reducing sitting time by replacing it by LIPA, results in lower 24 hour blood glucose levels and less blood glucose fluctuations (glycaemic variability) in type 2 diabetes patients and whether these effects are independent of the increase in energy expenditure Methods: The study population will involve 19 people with type 2 diabetes (BMI: 25-35 kg/m2) who perform no, or only little, exercise and who are treated with diet only or with oral blood glucose lowering medication. They will perform three regimes of each four days: 1) a sitting regime, 2) an exercise regime and a 3) sit less regime. Daily energy expenditure of the exercise regime will be identical to that of the sit less regime. Sitting, walking and standing will be objectively measured by a 24 hour physical activity monitor. The energy spent during exercise will be standardised and quantified by using a bicycle ergometer; energy intake will be standardised as well. During each regime blood glucose will be measured with a 24 hour continuous glucose sensor.
SHR3824 is a novel inhibitor of renal sodium-glucose cotransporter 2, allows an insulin-independent approach to improve type 2 diabetes hyperglycemia. In this multiple-dose study the investigators evaluated the safety, tolerability and PK/PD profiles of SHR3824 in healthy subjects.
