Endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) level represents a surrogate marker of cardiovascular risk and an indicator of the ongoing vascular damage. Moreover, EPCs are involved in the pathogenesis of virtually all diabetic complications. Therefore, ways to modulate EPCs are currently considered of utmost importance, especially in high-risk subjects. While many drugs with pleiotropic vasculoprotective effects have shown ability to positively modulate EPCs, there is no data on the effects of specific insulin formulations. This is a human randomised cross-over comparison trial. The purpose is to compare the effects of two basal insulin analogues (detemir and glargine) added to oral antidiabetic therapy in poorly-controlled type 2 patients with cardiovascular disease on endothelial function and EPC levels. The aim is to test whether optimized glycemic control with add-on basal insulin analogues improves endothelial damage and regeneration in type 2 diabetes with macroangiopathy and to compare the effects of glargine vs detemir on markers of endothelial damage and regeneration. EPC level is the most innovative outcome measure of this study and represents the primary endpoint. Endothelial dysfunction/damage, evaluated using soluble markers, will be the secondary outcome. Given the supposed inverse correlation between EPC and endothelial damage, it is expected that EPC increase reflects amelioration in endothelial biology, a result that may have significant clinical implications in this cohort of high-risk patients.
To test the effect of Nexium and probiotics on insulin secretion and cardiovascular risk factors on type 2 diabetic patients. Study Hypothesis: 1. Nexium causes an increased gastrin secretion that increases the insulin secretion and thereby a reduction of HbA1c 2. Probiotics changes the gut flora and bloodpressure 3. Probiotics causes a change in inflammation and thrombosis.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether ezetimibe in association with statins is more effective than statins alone on postprandial lipemia in type 2 diabetic patients.
Saxagliptin is a new investigational medication being developed for treatment of type 2 diabetes. This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety in adult patients with inadequate glycaemic control with diet and exercise.
Determine the effect of treatment with INCB013739 administered as an 'add-on' to metformin therapy in type 2 diabetic subjects on safety and tolerability and glycemic control.
We are conducting an intervention study to examine the effects of a 16-week exercise and diet interventions on prevention of disease, specifically type 2 diabetes and heart disease, in Latino youth. Eighty overweight Latino boys and girls will be recruited and placed in one of the following intervention groups: 1) Control Group (delayed intervention), 2) Dietary Education Group (nutrition education focused on reducing sugar & soda, increased fiber & whole grain intake), 3) Combination of Strength Training (twice/week for 60 min, progressive increases in exercise volume and intensity) + Dietary Education (nutrition education focused on reducing sugar & soda, increased fiber & whole grain intake) or 4) Combination of Circuit Training (twice/week for 60 min, aerobic + strength training exercises) + Dietary Education (same as above). We will assess which intervention group has the most effects on health parameters such as weight, body composition, and insulin related measures.
Cranberry, containing flavonoids, is effective on improvement of lipid profiles in non-diabetic subjects. The Hypothesis of is to assess the effect of cranberry on lipid profiles in type 2 diabetic patients using oral antidiabetic drugs.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of AZD6370 on blood sugar and to study safety and tolerability in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Wight loss surgery provides good glycemic control in type 2 diabetes. The technique of "Roux-en-Y gastric bypass" is more effective than the "Adjustable Gastric Band" on weight loss. This longitudinal cohort study will compare the effectiveness of the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and Adjustable Gastric Banding on glycemic control in type 2 diabetes and explore the responsible mechanisms. The evaluation will be made preoperatively and 1 year later as assessed by the decline in HbA1c. An evaluation will also be carried out after a weight loss of 10% to indicate whether the observed difference is independent of weight loss.
