Filter by:Diabetic lower extremity arterial disease ( DLEAD ), is a common complication of type 2 diabetes. However, DLEAD remains less studied than other diabetic vascular complications; and only few randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have dealt with major lower-limb adverse events as prespecified endpoints. Studies have suggested that glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogues have a protective effect on the development of atherosclerosis, potentially mediated via the GLP-1 receptors expressed on endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and in monocytes/macrophages. The investigators aim to evaluate the improvement of lower extremity ischemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with lower limb vascular lesions after liraglutide, compared with the standard-of-care treatment group.

In 2015, there were 415 million adults worldwide with type II diabetes and by 2040, typeII diabetes will affect one in ten adults worldwide. Type II diabetes reduces quality of life and total lifespan, and two of the best countermeasures to type II diabetes are not drugs, but diet and exercise. Several studies have investigated the effects of exercise modality (aerobic, resistance, or concurrent) on glycaemic control and the mechanisms of these benefits. However, the minimal 'dose' of exercise required to increase insulin sensitivity and improve glycaemic control has never been established. Secondly, there is a progressive loss of muscle structure and function with age, which is known as sarcopenia. This study will also investigate whether the minimal amount of exercise is influenced by biological age and muscle mass by comparing physiological and biochemical responses in BMI-matched young and old volunteers. This study will therefore provide pilot data on the effect of age on exercise-mediated glycaemic control.
The ain to this study was to determine the effects of Exergaming and Aerobic exercise on mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and random blood sugar levels (RBS) in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and to compare the effects between both treatments.This Randomized Control Trial (RCT) enrolled 33 diabetics to Aerobic group (AG) (n=18) and Exergaming training group (ER) (n=15) who completed the six weeks of aerobics or ER training. Aerobic group followed intervention using treadmill for 30 mins/day for 3 days/week maintaining intensity of 40-60% heart rate reserve (HRR). The ER group did physical activity using X-box 360 for 30 mins/day, 3 days/week. The cognitive testing included MMSE, MOCA, Trail-A/B and verbal fluency test (VF). The random blood sugar levels (RBS) of the participants were also monitored. Data was analyzed on IBM SPSS Statistics 20.
Diabetic kidney disease has become the leading cause for ESRD worldwide.Albuminuria is a major risk factor for progression of diabetic nephropathy. SGLT2 inhibitors are the first antiglycaemic drugs with direct renoprotection, which are thought to protect the kidneys by lowering albuminuria, stimulating urinary glucose excretion ,reducing systemic blood pressure, while simultaneously improving multiple other risk factors in a glucose-independent manner. However, the precise mechanisms behind the renal beneficial effect of SGLT2 inhibitors are not entirely elucidated, although ongoing outcome trials will confirm these findings. This study is to assess the impact of three months of treatment with SGLT2 Inhibitions on different levels of albuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes and to evaluate the effects of SGLT2 inhibition treatment on markers for podocyte damage , renal fibrosis, inflammation，oxidative stress and renin-angiotensin- aldosterone system.
Diabetes is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease. This research aims to improve glucose metabolism in patients with T2DM thereby reducing the impact of diabetes and the subsequent risk of future cardiovascular events. The investigators propose that improved sleep health will result in improved glucose levels in participants with T2DM. The investigators plan to use short bursts of sound (pink noise) during sleep to improve the deep-sleep phase. The study will be a 'crossover randomised controlled trial' in which two different treatments (intervention and control) are compared in all participants. The study will be based at the University of Lincoln Sleep Laboratory. Participants will be recruited via local GP practices. Twenty five adults with T2DM who have normal sleeping patterns will be invited to attend the sleep laboratory on 3 nights, each visit separated by one week. The primary outcome measure for this study will be the difference in mean glucose between the intervention and control periods over the first 24 hours after waking. Participants will be fitted with sensors on their faces to measure muscle tone and eye-movements and scalps to measure brain activity (EEG) and earphones that will deliver the 'pink noise'. The first night will be a 'sham' visit with no intervention, and nights 2 and 3 will be randomised to either intervention or control. An oral glucose tolerance test will be performed on the mornings of visits 2 and 3. During visits 2 and 3 participants will be fitted with a continuous glucose monitor which will be worn for 7 days. This is a feasibility study and the findings will be used to design a large randomised controlled trial. With the increasing prevalence of diabetes it is important to develop new approaches without the frequently observed side effects associated with pharmacological treatments to improve glucose control in patients with T2DM.
This study tests the effects of cannabinoid levels in blood on inflammation and insulin sensitivity both acutely and chronically in individuals across the weight spectrum. To that end, the study employs two observational designs: 1) A study of acute effects with intermittent cannabis users and 2) A study in which current cannabis users will select one of three cannabis strains for four weeks and are compared to a matched control group who do not use cannabis to study chronic effects. Blood levels of THC and CBD, inflammatory biomarkers, and insulin resistance will be measured in both studies.
MODIFY study is a multi-centre prospective, longitudinal, observational cohort study which aims to recruit 150 adult patients with type 2 diabetes recruited from community, primary care or secondary care settings. The total length of the study is 75 months. The aim of the study is to develop an MRI-based method to identify whom amongst people with Type 2 diabetes are at risk of further complications in their kidney, liver and cardiovascular system.
This study aims was evaluated the effect of L-arginine on microcirculation, vasoreactivity / endothelial function and vascular smooth muscle of young and old women with Sarcopenia or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus measured by Nailfold videocapillaroscopy and venous occlusion plethysmography before and after 14 days of consumption 5g oral L-arginine supplementation.
