View clinical trials related to Type 2 Diabetes.
Filter by:Diabetes is an increasingly common condition affecting millions of people world wide. The cornerstone of treatment is lifestyle that includes looking at the way how people eat. It is known that food containing compounds called polyphenols can reduce the risk of heart disease risk in people with diabetes. Two foods that are rich sources of polyphenols are cocoa (epicatechins) and soy (isoflavones). Previous studies have shown the benefits of these foods in the diets of people with diabetes. It has also been shown that soy isoflavones and cocoa polyphenols can improve the mood in certain groups of patients. What is not known is whether there is any extra benefit of combining soy protein and isoflavones with cocoa. The aim of the study is to look at the modification of cardiovascular risk by soy and/or cocoa in patients with type 2 diabetes, alone or in combination.
Glucose Variability With DPP-4 Inhibition
This study is designed to investigate the food-effects on FDC(gemigliptin/metformin HCl sustained release) 50/1000mg(25/500mg x 2tablets)
During the last years, even more little needles are used for the injection of sub cutaneous insulin, for the diabetes therapy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the non inferiority of a new needle, smaller than another needle, in terms of hematic levels od fructosamine, an indicator of glycemic control.
The aim of this study is to detail the (mechanisms underlying the) actions of the GLP-1 receptor agonists and DPP-4 inhibitors on the cardiovascular, renal and gastrointestinal systems in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Some gut hormones, called incretins, stimulate insulin production in order to control sugar levels but also activate brain centres and signal to stop eating. Current administration of incretin-based therapies mimicking these gut hormones is by subcutaneous (just under the skin) injection and has been routinely available for diabetic patients for more than 4 years. It is an effective treatment for the lowering of blood glucose with an average weight loss of about 3-4kg.Recent evidence, from animal studies and limited human studies, suggests that incretins based treatments may also have beneficial effects on blood vessel function. However, it is not known whether this effect is by direct action on the blood vessel independent of an improvement of latent inflammation which is typically associated with weight loss or an anti-inflammatory effect of the incretin treatment itself. The aim of this study is to determine whether the incretin-based diabetes treatment with the GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide 1) analogue Liraglutide (also known as Victoza), which mimics the actions of incretins, improves blood vessel function in individuals with type 2 diabetes. It will determine whether the improvement in blood vessel function is independent of the effect of weight loss and changes in inflammation. This by the study of vascular function before and after 4 months of Victoza treatment in subjects with Type 2 diabetes in comparison with 1) participants randomized to hypo-caloric diet to achieve a similar weight loss than with Victoza and 2) participants randomized to treatment with once daily aspirin. Comprehensive assessment of blood vessel function, body fat distribution and metabolic profile at baseline and at the end of the treatment phase will be combined with assessments of inflammation markers in blood and in fat tissue biopsies.
This study is evaluating the impact of antioxidant supplements on blood sugar control and cardiovascular risk factors in adults over the age of 50 with at 3 months of Type 2 diabetes. The investigators hypothesize that daily supplementation with a multiple micronutrient formulation containing dietary and endogenous antioxidants in combination with usual care will reduce markers of oxidative stress and inflammation in Type 2 diabetes.
This research study in adults with established type 2 diabetes will test whether daily vitamin D supplementation affects how the body processes glucose (sugar).
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of High Intensity Interval Training (HIT) on insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Quantification and preferential sites of arterial wall calcification within the coronary and lower legs arteries will be comared between Pseudo-Xanthoma elasticum(PXE) atients and type 2 diabetics and Chronic Kidney disease.
