Filter by:This study will examine whether patients with diabetes who are either 1) newly discharged from hospital or 2) referred to an endocrinologist for management will have better diabetes outcomes when their care is managed primarily by a dedicated case manager (intervention) than by an endocrinologist (standard care) after 6 months of treatment.
The purpose of the study is to examine whether almond consumption for 3 month will help Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes control blood glucose and decrease risk factors of cardiovascular disease.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of ISIS ISIS-APOCIIIRX on Triglyceride Levels and Insulin Sensitivity in Subjects with Type 2 Diabetes on stable treatment with metformin.
The purpose of this study is to learn if BMS-512148 (Dapagliflozin) as part of a triple combination therapy can improve (decrease) hemoglobin A1c in patients with type 2 diabetes after 24 weeks of treatment compared to a 2 drug oral antidiabetic therapy. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) results from early phase insulin secretory defect and insulin resistance. Studies have shown that most of the populations in which insulin resistance is considered to be the primary pathogenetic cause of diabetes, have a higher degree of obesity than those of primary insulin defect. Meanwhile, defective early insulin secretion plays a predominant role in the non-obese subtype of T2DM which includes majority of Japanese patients. Sitagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-IV) inhibitor as indicated for the treatment of T2DM. Sitagliptin increases plasma concentrations of active glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and active glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) two- to three-fold in patients with T2DM. The effect of sitagliptin on GLP-1 results in lower fasting and postprandial glucose concentrations through increases in glucose dependent insulin release and suppression of inappropriate glucagon secretion. Namely, several mechanistic studies using standardized meal showed that sitagliptin improved glucose control with decreased glucagon levels and increased insulin concentration in obese or overweight T2DM patients with BMI > 25 kg/m2. However, how sitagliptin affects islet function, including glucagon secretion in non-obese patients with low insulin secretion are not known. Therefore, the investigators will examine the effect of sitagliptin on glycemic control and the mechanism involved using a standardized test meal in non-obese Japanese patients with T2DM whose BMI levels are < 25 kg/m2.
This study will assess the initial safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of MK-8655, after single and multiple daily oral administrations to participants with Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM). The study will assess the reduction in fasting plasma glucose concentrations from baseline after multiple daily administrations of MK-8655.
The main objective of the study is to investigate if resveratrol supplementation can improve overall and muscle-specific insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetic patients. As a secondary objective the investigators want to investigate whether the improved insulin sensitivity can be attributed to improved muscle mitochondrial oxidative capacity and a reduced intrahepatic and cardiac lipid content.
The present study investigates the effects of recreational soccer in type 2 diabetic men in regard to muscular, cardiovascular adaptations and glycaemic control. 12 men participate in 6 month structured recreational soccer training and 10 men act as control with no change in lifestyle. Testing consisting of fasting blood samples, muscle biopsies, Dexa-scans, echocardiography, maximal oxygen consumption, Yo-Yo interval test, bloodpressure, Resting heart rate, and endothelial function (Itamar, Endopat)will be performed at baseline, after 12 and 24 weeks, respectively. The study examines the hypothesis that the high-intensity aerobic work profile combined with a high anaerobic turnover from the nature of soccer (accelerations, decelerations, turns, sudden stops) will improve glycaemic control, muscle and cardiac function and taken together will improve the overall health profile in type 2 diabetic men
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether vitamin D receptor agonist therapy lowers renin-angiotensin system activity.
The primary objective is to identify compare SCOUT DS to random capillary glucose for identification of at-risk subjects with dysglycemia defined by hemoglobin A1c ≥ 6.0%.
