Filter by:The purpose of this study is to collect performance data on the Integrated sensor and infusion set during 3 days of use and demonstrate performance adequacy of the integrated sensor and infusion set with glucose sensing and insulin delivery functionalities. The hypothesis of this study is that having the infusion of insulin in close proximity to the sensor does not interfere with the sensor accuracy. This study focuses on high bolus patients. A high bolus is defined as 12 units or more.
Aim: Evaluate the regulation of muscle derived Interleukin-6 (IL-6)during exercise and in particular whether it is regulated by the Interleukin-1 (IL-1) system. Rationale: It has been shown that IL-1 antagonism improves glycemia and insulin secretion in patients with type 2 Diabetes. However, IL-1 antagonism also decreases IL-6 levels. The effect if IL-6 on the glucose metabolism has been unclear in the past and subject to intense debate, with recent evidence indicating a beneficial role in regulating glucose metabolism. However little is known about regulation of muscle-induced IL-6 produced during exercise. It is therefore our aim to investigate whether exercise induced increases in IL-6 are dependent on the IL-1 system. If IL-1 antagonism does decrease IL-6 and along with it, the beneficial potential of IL-6, this may require additional medication like IL-6 substitution or dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV)antagonists. In addition, the investigators will assess the effect of IL-1 antagonism on insulin and Glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion as well as muscle soreness,fatigue and vascular function in response to an acute exercise bout.
Primary Objective: - To compare lixisenatide versus insulin glulisine in terms of HbA1c reduction and body weight change at week 26 in type 2 diabetic patients not adequately controlled on insulin glargine ± metformin. Secondary Objectives: - To compare the treatments/regimens on: - The percentage of patients reaching the target of HbA1c <7% or ≤6.5% - Body weight - Self-Monitored Glucose profiles - Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) - Post-prandial plasma glucose /glucose excursions during a standardized meal test (subset of patients) - Daily doses of insulins - Safety and tolerability
Objective: To investigate the performance (safety) of the GlucoTab system for glycaemic management in non-critically ill patients with type 2 diabetes at the general ward
Weight loss achieved through gastric banding will be superior to treatment with metformin in preserving or restoring pancreatic beta cell function in people with prediabetes or mild type 2 diabetes.
The main objective is to show that the addition of Galvus versus placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes treated with metformin (at the maximum tolerated dose) and basal insulin properly titrated, allows a greater proportion of patients achieving an HbA1c below 7%. The primary efficacy endpoint was the percentage of patients responding to treatment (HbA1c less than 7%) after 3 months of treatment with Galvus or placebo
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to further study the mechanism by which liraglutide, a relatively new anti-hyperglycemic medication, might lower blood pressure in patients with Type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by progressive deterioration in the function of the pancreatic beta-cells, which are the cells that produce and secrete insulin (the hormone primarily responsible for the handling of glucose in the body). The investigators propose a pilot randomized controlled trial to determine whether intermittent intensive insulin therapy is an effective therapeutic strategy that can preserve pancreatic beta-cell function and maintain glycemic control early in the course of type 2 diabetes.
The purpose of this study was to assess whether pinitol improves hidrocarbonated metabolism parameters, and evaluate its effect on oxidative stress and endothelial function in diabetic, impaired and normal fasting glucose subjects. This was a 3-month randomised, controlled-placebo, parallel trial with a three-arm design. Patients were divided into three groups: diabetic (n=40), impaired fasting glucose (n=40) or normal fasting glucose subjects (n=40), receiving 4 g/day of pinitol/placebo.
Diabetes is an increasingly common condition affecting millions of people world wide. The cornerstone of treatment is lifestyle that includes looking at the way how people eat. It is known that food containing compounds called polyphenols can reduce the risk of heart disease risk in people with diabetes. Two foods that are rich sources of polyphenols are cocoa (epicatechins) and soy (isoflavones). Previous studies have shown the benefits of these foods in the diets of people with diabetes. It has also been shown that soy isoflavones and cocoa polyphenols can improve the mood in certain groups of patients. What is not known is whether there is any extra benefit of combining soy protein and isoflavones with cocoa. The aim of the study is to look at the modification of cardiovascular risk by soy and/or cocoa in patients with type 2 diabetes, alone or in combination.
