Filter by:We are studying patients with diabetes who under proper medical care and administer an approved drug. Our interest is if this drug has any sideeffect on vision and if this drug may cause swelling of the retina.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of a tailored, print-based physical activity intervention for patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
Research to date suggests that the selection of lower glycemic index foods, that is, foods provoking a slower, more sustained blood sugar response, may result in improved glycemic control in youth with diabetes. However, there is currently insufficient data to support practice recommendations. The purpose of this pilot study is to test the blood glucose response to low and high glycemic index meals in youth with diabetes using continuous blood glucose monitoring, and to determine whether the effect of glycemic index differs by regimen or diagnosis. In this pilot study up to 42 youth with type 1 diabetes or impaired glucose metabolism (elevated fasting glucose, insulin resistance, or type 2 diabetes) will participate in 5 days of continuous blood glucose monitoring during which they will receive both low and high glycemic index meals. Children will be provided with 1 full day of low glycemic index meals and 1 full day of high glycemic index meals in a supervised setting in randomized order. Each of these test days will be preceded by a standard evening meal and snack. Continuous blood glucose monitoring will also be conducted during regular food intake ad libidum away from the clinic, as well as during one day of instructed low glycemic meals at home. All food intake, insulin, and blood glucose self-monitoring will be recorded. While in the clinic, measures of satiety and acceptability of the food will also be obtained. Data analysis will include indices of blood glucose levels and variability.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a school-to-home education program for it's ability to increase knowledge about, and ability to prevent type two diabetes in children and parents.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and preliminary efficacy of XOMA 052 in subjects with active Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D). IV administration of XOMA 052 is likely to improve glycemic control in subjects with T2D by blocking certain receptors.
Type 2 diabetes and obesity in children continue to increase at alarming rates with devastating results. However, both these metabolic diseases are largely preventable through adoption of a healthy lifestyle, an understanding of what happens to food in the body, energy balance and some simple aspects of glucose regulation. Can elementary school children be taught the knowledge and skills necessary to prevent type 2 diabetes and obesity? Children need to learn this essential knowledge and practice these important health behavior skills. Elementary school may be an ideal place to master this subject that is a direct and logical extension of current health curricula including nutrition and physical activity blended with science and math.
A study to assess the safety and efficacy of sitagliptin 100mg compared to sitagliptin 200mg in patients with type 2 diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Guardian Continuous Glucose Monitoring System in the home setting is more useful than frequent self blood glucose monitoring with a view to modifying patient's diet and exercise habits or improvement self disease control efforts and at last glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes
Study Goal #1: Determine the optimal oral dose of vitamin C to reduce surrogate markers of atherosclerosis (blockages in blood vessels) following the consumption of an atherogenic high fat lunch in type 2 diabetic individuals. Study Goal #2: After conducting the original study, we found that vitamin E was not effective in reducing the markers of oxidative stress, hypercoagulation, inflammation, and metabolic parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes. To date, data from randomized trials have largely demonstrated no significant benefit of vitamin E supplementation on the prevention of primary and/or secondary cardiovascular disease as once thought. Therefore, we decided to amend our current protocol to add a Part B to study only the effects of vitamin C at the following doses: 500 mg, 1000 mg, and 2000 mg daily (and include a placebo arm, as well.
The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn whether dapagliflozin can help reduce blood sugar levels in participants with Type 2 diabetes that is not well controlled on metformin alone. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
