Filter by:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a school-to-home education program for it's ability to increase knowledge about, and ability to prevent type two diabetes in children and parents.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and preliminary efficacy of XOMA 052 in subjects with active Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D). IV administration of XOMA 052 is likely to improve glycemic control in subjects with T2D by blocking certain receptors.
Type 2 diabetes and obesity in children continue to increase at alarming rates with devastating results. However, both these metabolic diseases are largely preventable through adoption of a healthy lifestyle, an understanding of what happens to food in the body, energy balance and some simple aspects of glucose regulation. Can elementary school children be taught the knowledge and skills necessary to prevent type 2 diabetes and obesity? Children need to learn this essential knowledge and practice these important health behavior skills. Elementary school may be an ideal place to master this subject that is a direct and logical extension of current health curricula including nutrition and physical activity blended with science and math.
A study to assess the safety and efficacy of sitagliptin 100mg compared to sitagliptin 200mg in patients with type 2 diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Guardian Continuous Glucose Monitoring System in the home setting is more useful than frequent self blood glucose monitoring with a view to modifying patient's diet and exercise habits or improvement self disease control efforts and at last glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes
Study Goal #1: Determine the optimal oral dose of vitamin C to reduce surrogate markers of atherosclerosis (blockages in blood vessels) following the consumption of an atherogenic high fat lunch in type 2 diabetic individuals. Study Goal #2: After conducting the original study, we found that vitamin E was not effective in reducing the markers of oxidative stress, hypercoagulation, inflammation, and metabolic parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes. To date, data from randomized trials have largely demonstrated no significant benefit of vitamin E supplementation on the prevention of primary and/or secondary cardiovascular disease as once thought. Therefore, we decided to amend our current protocol to add a Part B to study only the effects of vitamin C at the following doses: 500 mg, 1000 mg, and 2000 mg daily (and include a placebo arm, as well.
The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn whether dapagliflozin can help reduce blood sugar levels in participants with Type 2 diabetes that is not well controlled on metformin alone. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
The purpose of this clinical research study is to determine whether dapagliflozin can improve (decrease) blood glucose values in patients with Type 2 diabetes who have never been treated with medication or have been taking medication for less than 24 weeks since their original diabetes diagnosis. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of a a real time teleassistance system in the clinical evolution of type 2 diabetic patients on self monitoring blood glucose in the Public National Primary Care System.
Walnuts include many potentially beneficial micronutrients and phytochemicals, in this study we propose to examine the effects of walnuts independent of macronutrient content. The purpose of this proposal is to study in depth the short-term effects of walnut consumption in men and women with the metabolic syndrome. Study Aim 1: To investigate the effects of walnuts (48gms per day over 3 days) on insulin resistance in subjects with the metabolic syndrome. Study Aim 2: To investigate the effects of 48gms per day of walnuts over 3 days on lipids and inflammatory markers. Study Aim 3: To assess the possible mechanisms of the biological effects of short-term walnut consumption through assessment of adipokines, resting metabolic rate, gene expression in white blood cells and the effect of walnuts when consumed as part of a mixed meal, on glucose excursions, insulin secretion and the excretion of gut peptides and free fatty acids.
