Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, of Saxagliptin in pediatric patients with type 2 diabetes.
Gastric bypass surgery induces remission of diabetes within days after surgery, before significant weight loss. The aim of the study is to examine whether improved insulin sensitivity of muscle and liver contributes to the immediate diabetes resolution.
Traditional dietary, lifestyle, behavioral and pharmacologic treatment strategies have proven relatively ineffective for treating obesity, and once metabolic abnormalities such as Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) develop, definitive strategies to prevent major cardiovascular events remain elusive. More positively, the identification of a scientific resolution for obesity and T2D in the short-term is not outside the bounds of reality. Because the complexity of metabolic regulation is likely to include already characterized biomarkers, as well as other unidentified factors, it is logical to sample subjects of various ages, gender, ethnicity, body mass distribution, dietary habits, exercise habits, medication requirements, and disease states to discover associations and pathways related to the restoration of normal metabolism.
This is an open-label, randomized, forced-titration clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of Technosphere Insulin (TI) Inhalation Powder in combination with insulin glargine versus insulin aspart in combination with insulin glargine in subjects with type 2 diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to learn if BMS-512148 (Dapagliflozin), after 12 weeks, can improve (decrease) blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes with uncontrolled hypertension who are on an Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or an Angiotensin Receptor Blocker (ARB).The safety of this treatment will also be studied
This 24-weeks study will to compare the glycemic efficacy and safety of sitagliptin with pioglitazone in patients with type 2 diabetes who had inadequate glycemic control despite dual therapy with metformin and a sulfonylurea.
A huge challenge in type 2-diabetes care is how to motivate patients towards health behaviour changes. In Denmark, the tendency is that nurses in general practice provide a large part of type 2 diabetes care. Observational studies support Self-determination Theory by finding autonomous motivation and perceived competence associated with improved HbA1c-levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. Hence, research is needed to develop and test interventions that are autonomy supportive. Aim To develop a training course for practice-nurses in autonomy support in patients with type 2 diabetes, and to evaluate the effect on patient outcomes. Methods The development of the intervention was based on literature research and expert meetings. The intervention is evaluated in a cluster randomised controlled trial with 40 Danish general practices, - where nurses, before enrolment in the study, provided consultations to patients with type 2 diabetes, - and about 2500 patients with type 2 diabetes, identified in a Diabetes Database. The patients will be followed 15 months from nurse-participation in the course. Data will be obtained from registers and patient-questionnaires. The hypothesis is that patients with type 2 diabetes regardless of education level, age, and gender will benefit from the intervention.
The purpose of this study is to to develop and evaluate the feasibility, usability, and effect of participation in SLIDES (a virtual diabetes community in Second Life) for providing interactive diabetes education, support, and resources.
Inactivity and excess energy consumption are leading causes of obesity and type 2 diabetes which are associated with increased cardio-metabolic risk. In order to reduce the cardiovascular risk associated with type 2 diabetes, the Canadian Diabetes Association guidelines (2008) recommends weight loss through caloric restriction and structured physical activity. However, the comparative effects of different methods to obtain caloric deficit for weight loss remains to be elucidated. The main objective of this study is to assess the impact of two strategies of caloric deficit: diet alone or diet and exercise on total fat mass, epicardial fat and cardiovascular risk factors in overweight and obese adults with type 2 diabetes and at high risk of cardiovascular disease.
Following the 6th Tromso study subjects with HbA1c > 5.7 plus a subsample of subjects with lower hba1c values will be invited to an oral glucose tolerance test to see the predictive value of HBA1c in the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.
