Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of the study drug tirzepatide to insulin lispro (U100) three times a day in participants with type 2 diabetes that are already on insulin glargine (U100), with or without metformin.
The treatment with pioglitazone added to the standard treatment of patients with DM2 hospitalized for COVID-19 may produce a decrease in the number of patients who progress to a second phase of severe systemic inflammation.
Using the Libre during the TOC with persons with T2D will improve patient glucose monitoring and satisfaction, which can potentially lead to an improvement in glycemic control and hospital utilization. This study aims to assess this with inpatients using insulin.
Quinoa is a pseudo-cereal and has potential health benefits and exceptional nutritional value. It is a food rich in proteins of high biological value, in unsaturated fats and fiber, it is also a grain low in carbohydrates and with a low glycemic index. Concretely, quinoa could produce a benefit on postprandial glycemia that would result in lower type 2 diabetes (T2D) incidence. A cross-over design pilot clinical study with a nutritional intervention for 8 weeks were performed: 4 weeks on a regular diet (RD) and 4 weeks on a quinoa diet (QD). Nine subjects aged ≥65 years with prediabetes were monitored during the first 4 weeks of RD with daily dietary records and FreeStyle Libre®. Subsequently, participants started the DQ where quinoa and 100% quinoa-based products replaced foods rich in complex carbohydrates that they regularly consumed by the first 4 weeks of DR. The glycemic measurements recorded by the sensors were considered as functions of time and the effects of nutrients consumed at the intended time period were analyzed by means of function on scalar regression (fosr) model.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of medically-tailored meal delivery (10 meals per week for 3 months) on glycemic control in diabetic patients.
Moderate weight reduction by a moderately hypocaloric very-low-fat diet resulted in normalization of fasting hyperglycemia and reversal of hepatic insulin resistance in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes. The Diabetes Remission Clinical Trial (DiRECT) revealed that utilizing a total diet replacement by a low-energy formula diet for 3 months led to a 15 kg or more weight loss in 24% participants and diabetes remission 46% of the participants. To date it remains unknown whether similar results can be achieved with a natural, non-formula based diet in connection with an educative smartphone application and telephone coaching
This research study is being done to evaluate the effect of hepatic ultrasound insonification on whole-body insulin sensitivity and evaluate the safety and tolerability of hepatic ultrasound insonification in subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). "Insonify/insonification" is defined as applying to an area or an object carefully-controlled sound waves, typically as in ultrasound imaging. GE Research is sponsoring this research study. The purpose of this research study is to: - Evaluate the effect of liver ultrasound waves on changes from baseline in whole-body insulin sensitivity - Test the safety and tolerability of liver ultrasound waves in subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus - Evaluate the effect of liver ultrasound waves on change from baseline in glucose tolerance and insulin secretion - Evaluate the effect of liver ultrasound waves on glucose metabolism Insulin sensitivity refers to how sensitive the body's cells are in response to insulin. Glucose tolerance refers to the body's ability to handle (tolerate) glucose. Insulin secretion is a process in which the body releases insulin in response to glucose levels in the blood becoming elevated. The study device used in this study is cleared for use by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for ultrasound diagnostic exams, however it has not been tested or approved specifically for modulation of metabolism in people with diabetes. The use of the study device in this study is investigational and is considered a Non-Significant Risk (NSR).
The strict rules applied in Italy during the recent COVID-19 pandemic, with the prohibition to attend any regular outdoor activity, are likely to influence the degree of metabolic control of patients with type 2 diabetes. The aim of this observational, prospective, single centre study was to evaluate the immediate impact of the lockdown rules on the metabolic profile of a cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes.
The Primary Care Diabetes Support Program (PCDSP) offers a lifestyle medicine program, STAND, that patients can self-select themselves to participate. STAND offers biweekly, one-hour educational classes. With the onset of COVID-19, the clinic has moved virtually, but has yet to offer an individualized exercise program. Little evidence is available on utilizing telemedicine and wearable technologies combined in a clinical exercise setting. This is a 6-week single cohort prospective study assessing the feasibility of incorporating wearable activity trackers and individualized exercise prescriptions in the PCDSP's virtually delivered, STAND program in an adult population with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Roughly 15-20 participants will be recruited. Participants will attend the bi-weekly STAND classes and track their step counts daily using FitBits, trying to achieve individually prescribed step counts. Participants receive a brief follow up phone call every other week. The primary outcomes assessed will be recruitment and retention rates, as well as acceptability of, and adherence to, the virtual program. Acceptability will be assessed by an exit survey and mean number of reported technological issues. Adherence will be number of classes attended and percent of days with FitBit worn (>500 steps) and average percent Libre sensor is active. Change in self-efficacy levels, diabetes emotional related distress, exercise volume, glucose control and fitness levels will secondarily be assessed.
In this project, investigators explored the role of the particles that carry "bad cholesterol" in the blood (termed LDL) that are known to promote heart disease, in the promotion of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in humans. In specific, they investigated how these particles may induce the activation of an immune pathway in human fat tissue leading to multiple anomalies that favors T2D. They also explored whether omega-3 fatty acids, which are the type of fat found in fish oils can counterbalance the negative effects of LDL in fat tissue, thus providing a natural way to help reduce the risk for T2D in subjects with elevated blood LDL. To do so, 41 subjects who were free of disease or medication affecting metabolism were enrolled at the Montreal Clinical Research Institute between 2013 and 2019 and were placed on an intervention with omega-3 fatty acids supplementation for 12 weeks (2.7 g/day, Triple Strength Omega-3 from Webbers Naturals). Investigators examined the effects of LDL and omega-3 on risk factors for T2D before and after the intervention in the whole body and specifically in fat tissue biopsies taken from the hip region. Eighty percent of the subjects who were enrolled into the study completed the intervention.
