Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a culturally sensitive diabetes self-management program on glucose control and metabolic parameters in low income Mexican-Americans with type 2 diabetes using the Project Dulce model utilizing a low cost, peer-educator format.
An increase of blood flow and capillary permeability decrease the impact of an endothelial barrier for glucose and insulin allowing them to reach their target cells in peripheral insulin sensitive organ in the human body. It is well known that insulin-resistant type 2 diabetes patients have an impaired blood flow in skeletal muscle and it is therefore important to elucidate means to reverse this metabolic defect. The investigators have in a recently published study in type 2 diabetes patients used a drug against erectile dysfunction, the PDE-5 inhibitor tadalafil, with known effects on several vascular territories, to increase muscle blood flow in type 2 diabetes patients who were studied after fasting overnight. The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that tadalafil, compared to placebo, increases muscle glucose uptake and lowers blood glucose following a mixed meal served to type 2 diabetes patients.
This study will record the impact of food on blood glucose levels using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). The investigators think the impact will improve as medication doses are adjusted. The investigators also think that the impact will differ depending on the type of medication taken.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of SMBG and CGM for clinical decisions related to the management of type 2 diabetes. The secondary objective is to determine the benefit of using CGM for clinical diabetes management decision-making.
Type 2 diabetes is common among Native Hawaiians and Pacific Peoples. Diabetes related complications decrease quality of life and can result in early morbidity. The purpose of the Partners in Care diabetes self-management educational intervention is to teach participants how to manage their diabetes to avoid or delay diabetes-related complications and how to better work with their health care team.
27 Type 2 diabetic subjects (HbA1c 7.5 - 9.5%) currently treated with diet and exercise alone or with oral antidiabetic agents will be randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups: insulin detemir, liraglutide, or liraglutide plus detemir (9 subjects per group), on a background of metformin 2000 mg per day. After 3 months' treatment, PET measurements of myocardial fuel selection will take place, under fasting conditions in the morning following that day's treatment injection(s).
The study is aimed to compare: Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y-Gastric Bypass (RYGB) + optimal medical therapy versus Intensive lifestyle modification and optimal medical therapy in the treatment of type 2 diabetes in overweight-to-moderately obese patients (BMI: 28-34kg/m2; the lower BMI cut-off will be 26kg/m2 in patients of Asian descent). This is a single center, prospective randomized study. The study at the Weill College Medical College Diabetes Surgery Center. This study is intended to be a pilot investigation whose results can inform clinicians and researchers for future larger or multi-site trials of diabetes surgery. This study will also be used for the definition of a "core" protocol for independent randomized clinical trials to be carried out at various centers participating in a multinational consortium.
The project aims to examine the efficacy of a 12-week intake of alginate based ready to drink supplement on development in body weight and body composition, and risk markers for type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease in obese subjects.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the possible effects of daily intake of yogurt drink fortified with vitamin D alone or with vitamin D + calcium on some selected glycemic, metabolic, inflammatory and oxidative stress markers in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
Background: Pioglitazone has been shown to have potent anti-inflammatory as well anti-atherosclerotic effects. However, the mechanisms by which pioglitazone exerts these effects are not clear. The investigators propose that Tissue Inhibitor of MetalloProteinase-3 (TIMP-3) and TNF-alfa converting enzyme (TACE) play a major role in pioglitazone mediated improvement in insulin sensitivity and endothelial function. In animal models, low dose pioglitazone inhibits lesion progression and matrix metalloproteinase expression in advanced atherosclerotic plaques. The investigators believe that a lower dose of Pioglitazone will also have anti-inflammatory effects. Aim: To examine the effect of low dose Pioglitazone (15mg/day) on TIMP and TACE in Pioglitazone mediated improvements in insulin sensitivity. Methods: Thirty subjects with T2DM will participate in following studies: (i) oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT); (ii) Dual energy absorptiometry(DXA) for body fat content, (iv) skeletal muscle biopsy. Subjects will be randomized to receive either placebo or pioglitazone for 24 weeks. The investigators will study the effect of Pioglitazone on (1) TIMP and TACE substrate activity in skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, mononuclear cells, and their relationship to insulin sensitivity and vascular reactivity, other adipocytokines- resistin, TNF-α and Visfatin; (2) markers of inflammation and atherosclerosis- C-reactive protein, VCAM-1 (vascular cell adhesion molecule 1), ICAM-1 (Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 1), endothelin 1, E-selectin, P-selectin, TNFrecI (Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor I), TNFrecII (Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor II), IL-6 (Interleukin 6) receptor.
