Filter by:In thise study, we aim to determine the effect of meal fat on VLDL-TG kinetics in type 2 diabetic and healthy subjects matched for BMI in order to elucidate the potential pathophysiological differences in VLDL-TG FA channeling towards oxidation and storage in abdominal and leg subcutaneous adipose tissue. Specifically, we want to measure, by way of fat and muscle biopsies, the quantitative postprandial storage of VLDL-TG FA's in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue in relation to a series of tissue specific proteins and enzymes that might be involved in regulating skeletal muscle and adipose tissue FA storage.
Severity of diabetes is related to the development of disabling and costly complications (12.9 billion euros in 2007). The French High Health Authority recommends a therapeutic education on lifestyle and dietary rules in first-line treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Despite these recommendations, patients often have difficulties to implement dietary recommendations every day. The objective of EDUC@DOM is to help people with diabetes to improve lifestyle and equilibrium of glycaemia in order to avoid or delay chronic complications of diabetes. Our main goal is to assess effectiveness of our telemonitoring program in type 2 patients' care compared to a usual care of diabetes, on the glycaemia of the patients. It is expected that our program leads to a better monitoring of health status, a greater adherence to medical and non-medical prescriptions, an empowerment of the patient, and as a consequence, a more efficient health care consumption.
Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease which results in irreversible attachment loss, bone destruction and tooth loss, is a major oral health problem affecting 90.2% of Malaysian population. It was initially demonstrated that Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) was a risk factor for periodontitis and subsequently a two-way relationship between diabetes and periodontitis was proposed. Diabetes has been shown to cause defects in neutrophil function by overproduction of pro-inflammatory mediators such as Tumour necrosis factor-α, Interleukin-1β and Prostaglandin E2 by macrophages. The inflammatory mediators released in response to plaque have been reported to be insulin antagonists that disturb binding of insulin to its receptors and further complicate hyperglycaemia in T2D. The hyperglycaemia in diabetics promotes more pathogenic bacteria into the subgingival microenvironment making them more susceptible to chronic periodontitis. Studies however differ in the types of periodontal pathogens present in these pockets. At the same time, very few studies have quantified them. This study proposes to investigate the effect that non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) has on the periodontal parameters, HbA1c levels, microbiological profile and CRP levels of T2D patients with chronic periodontitis as compared to oral hygiene education (OHE)alone.
The goal of this study is to examine whether sitagliptin, an agent which enhances the action of hormones that control the release of insulin and is already in clinical use for type 2 diabetes, might also improve functional exercise capacity. Specific aims: 1. To test whether sitagliptin will improve functional exercise capacity in persons with type 2 diabetes compared to glimepiride. 1a. The primary outcome will be peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) and oxygen uptake kinetics (VO2 kinetics). 1b. Secondary outcomes include cardiac function, endothelial function and tissue oxygen saturation (STO2) as well as health-related quality of life. 2. To evaluate the impact of sitagliptin on muscle mitochondrial function 2a. The primary outcome to address this aim will be 31P measurements (phosphocreatine, free inorganic phosphate, adenosine triphosphate peaks, adenosine diphosphate and pH) Impact: Novel approaches are needed to decrease excess cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in diabetes. Diabetes impairs cardiovascular fitness and thereby mortality. A demonstration that sitagliptin improves cardiovascular fitness, (and possibly mitochondrial function) will provide important new data pertinent to the management of diabetes and pre-diabetes.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of hyperinsulinemia and postprandial changes in plasma glucose and lipids concentrations on the endothelial function together with other metabolic parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and in healthy subjects. Hypothesis: Different changes in endothelial function to acute in vivo induced hyperinsulinemia and after the meal test will be found in patients with T2D compared to healthy subjects. A significant relationships between insulin sensitivity, selected adipokines intramyocellular fat content, hepatic fat content and high energy phosphates in soleus muscle will be documented in both groups.
The objectives of this study are to examine the effects of chronic, (12 weeks) administration of Whey protein on HbA1c, and postprandial glucose (PPG).
The study will help determine if the Better Choices Better Health Diabetes program (community-based or online, also known as the Diabetes Self-Management Program) improves the hbA1C of people with Type-II diabetes. The investigators will also examine 1) symptoms (fatigue, sleep, low blood sugar symptoms, depression, shortness of breath), 2) healthy behaviors (blood sugar monitoring; taking medications as prescribed; getting eye, foot, kidney and cholesterol exams; and activity), 3) the use of health care services. This project is a translational study to demonstrate the effectiveness of the intervention in the context of a major insurer.
The goal of the Vitamin D and type 2 diabetes (D2d) study is to determine if vitamin D supplementation works to delay the onset of type 2 diabetes in people at risk for the disease and to gain a better understand how vitamin D affects glucose (sugar) metabolism.
To confirm the safety and efficacy of Bydureon in long-term use in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus under actual drug use.
Due to metabolic disorders and dietary restrictions, patients with diabetes may have different degrees of malnutrition. The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether supplementation of LEHEL, a multi-nutrients supplement, is capable to improve metabolic parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes.
