Filter by:The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effects on anthropometric, glucose metabolism and lipid profile biomarkers of exchanging with high-protein, low-glycemic index products (40-30-30) the habitual breakfast, mid-morning and afternoon snacks on type-2 diabetes patients following a chronologically scheduled pattern.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether TH9507, a stabilized analogue of growth hormone-releasing factor (GRF), would have an effect on insulin sensitivity or control of diabetes in patients with type 2 diabetes.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating the impact of sitagliptin therapy in patients with concomitant type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) on improving liver disease based on biopsy results. The effect of sitagliptin on other measures such as hormones modifying insulin release and sensitivity (termed adipocytokines), fat distribution, and biomarkers of cardiovascular risk will also be evaluated.
This study intends to compare the efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin versus placebo in treatment-naïve subjects with type 2 diabetes who have inadequate glycaemic control with diet and exercise alone.
The objective of the current study is to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of BI 10773 (10 mg, 25 mg / once daily) compared to placebo given for 24 weeks as add-on therapy to metformin or metformin plus sulfonylurea in patients with T2DM with insufficient glycaemic control. Open-label arm: to estimate efficacy and safety of 25 mg BI 10773 in very poorly controlled patients (HbA1c > 10%)
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of Gynostemma Pentaphyllum tea on insulin sensitivity in drug-naïve type 2 diabetic patients.
The investigators aim to test the hypothesis that Lactobacillus Reuteri-enriched microbiota improves insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance in obese healthy and obese type 2 diabetes patients by improving gut hormone secretion and compare these findings to healthy lean subjects.
Glucose-induced insulin secretion is often diminished in hyperglycaemic patients with type 2 diabetes. The investigators examined, whether chronic basal insulin treatment with insulin glargine lead to improvements in glucose-induced insulin secretion.
Dietary strategies for alleviating health complications associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are being pursued as alternatives to pharmaceutical interventions. Berries such as bilberries that are rich in polyphenols may influence carbohydrate digestion and absorption and thus postprandial glycaemia. In addition berries have been reported to alter incretins as well as to have anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may also affect postprandial glycaemia. This study investigated the acute affect of a standardised bilberry extract on glucose metabolism in T2D. Eight male volunteers with T2D controlling their diabetes by diet and lifestyle alone were given a single oral capsule of either 0.47g standardized bilberry extract (36% (w/w) anthocyanins) which equates to ∼50 g of fresh bilberries or placebo followed by a polysaccharide drink (equivalent to 75 g glucose) in a double blinded cross over intervention with a two week washout period. This study demonstrates that the ingestion of a concentrated bilberry extract reduces postprandial glycaemia and insulin in volunteers with T2D. The most likely mechanism for the lower glycaemic response involves reduced rates of carbohydrate digestion and/or absorption.
Despite several clinical trials have clearly demonstrated that the correction of a single cardiovascular risk factor in patients with type 2 diabetes decreases the incidence of myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular disease (CVD) events, only the Steno study has been evaluating the effect of a multifactorial intervention strategy on macrovascular complications of diabetes. For this reason, the disease management approach currently endorsed by international guidelines (i.e correction of all major CVD risk factors to target levels usually lower than lower risk populations) has not been extensively investigated in terms of prevalence of application in current clinical practice and in terms of real efficacy. The Multifactorial INtervention in type 2 Diabetes - ITaly (MIND.IT) is a multicentric two-phase study involving 9 Diabetes Care Units throughout Italy with the overall aims of: (1) investigating the degree of application of the international guidelines for CVD prevention in type 2 diabetic patients and (2) verifying whether the application of an intensive multi-factorial intervention inspired by these guidelines is feasible and effective in decreasing the incidence of new CVD events.
