Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and the safety of sitagliptin and glimepiride in drug naïve elderly patients with T2DM as evaluated by HbA1c change from baseline at 52 W as efficacy and incidence of hypoglycemia from randomization to 52 W as safety. The clinical hypotheses are non-inferiority of sitagliptin to glimepiride in efficacy as judged by HbA1c change from baseline at 52 W and superiority of sitagliptin to glimepiride in safety as judged by incidence of hypoglycemia in drug naïve elderly patients with T2DM. In addition, comparison of efficacy is extended to 104W.
The purposes of this study are: a) to compare the effects of supervised programs of aerobic training or resistance training on the metabolic control of type 2 diabetes; b) to investigate some potential pathophysiologic and molecular mechanisms underlying these effects; c) to assess whether some changes may persist over time after termination of the supervised programs.
Subjects with elevated serum triglycerides in the 4th Tromso study in 1994/1995 were re-examined with an oral glucose tolerance test to see predictive value of triglycerides regarding development of type 2 diabetes
The proposed study is a two arm randomized controlled trial with longitudinal follow-up that compares cognitive behavioral interventions (ENHANCE) to a control group with attention. The experiment will consist of a repeated measure 2 X 3 design; Condition (Experiment vs. Control) by Time (Pre, Post, Follow Up).
Dietary strategies for alleviating the metabolic complications such as diabetes associated with obesity are actively being pursued as alternatives to pharmaceutical interventions The genus Vaccinium (e.g. blueberry, blaeberry, cranberry) has been used traditionally as a source of folk remedies for established diabetic symptoms, primarily as leaf or stem infusions or decoctions. Berries from this family such as blaeberry (BL) and blueberry (BB) are enriched in anthocyanins, polyphenolics recognized for their ability to provide and activate cellular antioxidant protection, inhibit inflammatory gene expression, and consequently protect against oxidant-induced and inflammatory cell damage and cytotoxicity. The association of obesity with adipose tissue stress, macrophage recruitment, and inflammatory gene expression suggests that eating edible berries from this genus might provide an effective alternative or supplementary intervention to attenuate obesity- associated inflammation and the associated insulin resistance. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of anthocyanin supplementation in the form of a concentrated blaeberry extract on insulin resistance and inflammation particularly in the adipose tissue following a three week supplementation period.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of cardiac disease/coronary artery disease and diagnostic yield of different non-invasive methods in patients with type 2 diabetes 40-75 years of age at examination. Exercise tests, Doppler echocardiographic examination with Tissue Velocity Imaging, stress Echocardiography, transthoracic Doppler of coronary arteries with coronary flow reserve, and cardiac MRI with late enhancement at rest, and perfusion after vasodilatation stress will be used in the study. A subpopulation will in addition measure forearm vasodilation(FMD) and CFR before and after 4 months of exercise training.
The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the validity and feasibility of an educational approach involving nurses, combined with SMBG, aimed at lifestyle modification and timely changes in therapy, when needed.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of AZD5658 following ascending single oral doses in Type 2 Diabetics. It will also estimate the maximum tolerated dose.
The study is being conducted to compare the effect of standard treatment (target LDL-C level: <120 mg/dL (JASGL 2007 target level)) and intensive treatment (target LDL-C level: <70 mg/dL) in the prevention of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in hypercholesterolemia patients with concomitant type 2 diabetes and hypertension.
The combination of vitamin and mineral supplementation may improve: - glycemic control - lipid profile - oxidative stress - blood pressure - nephropathy indices - neuropathy indices
