Filter by:The purpose of this study is to learn more about why patients with diabetes have increased heart attacks, strokes and other illnesses due to blood clots causing blockage of a blood vessel. The proposed protocol will study the separate and combined effects of high glucose and high fats on certain cardiovascular responses in Type 2 DM.
The purpose of this experimental study is to investigate whether an acute lipid infusion added marine n-3 fatty acids produces effects on insulin sensitivity in subjects with type 2 diabetes, when compared with an acute lipid infusion without marine n-3 fatty acids. Furthermore other effects on intermediary metabolism are tested for.
To show that a structured treatment plan based upon Accu-Chek 360 View has a favorable effect on physician decision-making and HbA1c for patients on oral hypoglycemic agents (OHA) or insulin for type 2 diabetes (T2D). Hypothesis 1: Compared to controls, intervention subjects will undergo a greater number of medication changes and have a lower HbA1 at the conclusion of the study. Hypothesis 2: Higher rates of monitoring at entry will be associated with lower CHO consumption, lower percent body fat, higher medication compliance, and higher physical activity levels. Hypothesis 3: Patients with lower rates of monitoring at entry will have higher rates of depression, more likely to have an external locus of control, and express greater fear about self-testing.
Older persons with diabetes have a harder time maintaining blood pressure when standing up. When blood pressure drops when standing up, fainting may occur. This study will see how regular exercise can improve the ability of the body to keep blood pressure up when standing. We want to see how this improvement varies with a home-based walking program.
Hyperglycemia forms a direct and independent risk factor for the development of cardiovascular co-morbidities in type 2 diabetes. Consumption of sucrose-sweetened soft drinks might further increase the prevalence of hyperglycemic episodes. The objective of the study was to assess glycemic control in type 2 diabetes patients and healthy lean and obese controls under strict dietary standardization but otherwise free living conditions, with and without the consumption of soft drinks.
Enhanced and prolonged postprandial triglyceride responses involve increased cardiovascular risk in type 2 diabetes. It has been demonstrated that dietary fat and carbohydrates profoundly influence postprandial hypertriglyceridemia in type 2 diabetes, whereas little information exists about the effect of proteins. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of the milk proteins casein, Whey Isolate, Whey Hydrolysate, and Alphalact-Albumin on postprandial lipid and incretin responses to a high-fat meal in type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes is a major and increasing problem in India and the UK. In clinical trials it can be prevented in people at high risk by lifestyle intervention. While these trials established the proof of principle, they involved a degree of input from healthcare professionals not feasible outside the trial situation. We hypothesize that diabetes prevention can be achieved at lower cost using personalised feedback via mobile phone, based on information on healthy diet and physical activity habits. We shall develop research protocols and computerized algorithms to test this hypothesis in India for application subsequently in the UK and elsewhere.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether low and intermediate GI Caribbean foods are effective in the management of type 2 diabetes.
This study will look at the impact that meals have on blood glucose (sugar) levels. Subjects will be asked to use a Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGM), which monitors glucose levels continuously. Breakfast and lunch meals will be provided and must be consumed at the International Diabetes Center.
Enhanced and prolonged postprandial triglyceride responses involve increased cardiovascular risk in type 2 diabetes. It has been demonstrated that dietary fat and carbohydrates profoundly influence postprandial hypertriglyceridemia in type 2 diabetes, whereas little information exists about the effect of proteins. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of the proteins casein, whey, cod, and gluten on postprandial lipid and incretin responses to a high-fat meal in type 2 diabetes.
