Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to learn about the effect of Dapagliflozin (Farxiga) on the fat of the heart.
It has previously been shown in healthy overweight subjects, that table water including a defined amount of amino acids and chromium can decrease the postprandial glucose and insulin response. In this study, the effect of this table water on glucose excursions after a test meal containing a defined amount of available carbohydrates, protein and fat will be studied in patients with early type 2 diabetes or prediabetes according to guidelines that are treated with dietary measures or metformin only. The study will be conducted in a cross -over design, double blinded and placebo controlled including 20 participants. The primary endpoint of the study is the incremental area under the curve for plasma glucose (iAUCgluc) within 180 minutes after ingestion of the meal.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether glycemic control (HbA1c) is linked to chromosomal damage in type 2 Diabetes patients
To test whether Mylan's insulin glargine once daily is non-inferior to Lantus® once daily (both administered in combination with other anti-diabetic drugs) based on the change in HbA1c from baseline to 24 weeks
This is a study to identify different subtypes of type 2 diabetes. The investigators will look for information at the molecular level, which may lead to personalized diagnosis and therapies.
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease that puts people at risk for major health problems like heart disease. Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes in adults. However, there has been a concerning rise in type 2 diabetes among teenagers. Diabetes develops through poor insulin sensitivity, meaning that insulin - an important chemical the body makes to keep blood sugar normal - isn't working properly. Type 2 diabetes can be prevented by improving insulin sensitivity. Stress is related to insulin sensitivity. Individuals who feel stressed have worse insulin sensitivity than individuals who do not feel stressed. In adults, decreasing stress leads to improvements in insulin sensitivity, but this hasn't been tested in teenagers. The purpose of this study is to find out if taking part in a brief group program to decrease stress will improve insulin sensitivity and lower diabetes risk in teenage girls.
The current project is designed as a 30-day pilot trial to demonstrate the safety and tolerability of resveratrol therapy in overweight adolescents to decrease liver fat, and improve insulin sensitivity to prevent type 2 diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to discover the characteristics of pregnant women which increases risk for their babies to develop diabetes, later on in life.
For this purpose, we will compare the effects of targeted 16-18% (with a range of 16-25%) weight loss induced by Roux-en-Y Gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery with the same weight loss induced by a low-calorie diet (LCD) on liver and skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity, beta-cell function, and 24-hour metabolic homeostasis in obese subjects with or without T2D.
The investigators are conducting a research study to see if increasing the amount of nitrate (a substance found in large quantities in certain vegetables) in the diet can increase the ability of individuals with Type 2 diabetes (T2D) to perform exercise. Some people with T2D find exercise more uncomfortable than individuals who do not have T2D. This may be explained by the experimental studies showing that T2D can result in reductions in the supply of oxygen to the muscles. Studies have also shown that for a given level of activity, individuals with T2D will be much closer to their maximum exercise capacity than healthy individuals. Dietary nitrate may have two important beneficial effects in individuals with T2D: 1) The effects of dietary nitrate on the responses to exercise may have a significant impact on the ability of individuals with Type 2 diabetes to perform daily tasks and exercise more comfortably and 2) experimental studies suggest that increased nitrate consumption has been shown to reduce the amount of oxygen required for a given level of exercise. The investigators will recruit 60 individuals with T2D. These people will take part in a randomised crossover design study where they will be asked to drink normal beetroot juice (rich in nitrate) and nitrate depleted beetroot juice, prior to performing two different walking exercise tasks (a six minute walk and repeated, low intensity treadmill walking). This study aims to determine if dietary nitrate supplementation reduces the amount of oxygen required for a given level of exercise in individuals with T2D. To test brain function individuals will be asked to perform a standard computerised decision making task following consumption of the nitrate rich and nitrate depleted juices.
