Filter by:Glycemic variability is refered as swings in glucemic concentration throughout the day, including preprandial and postprandial glucose, and it has been proposed that could be determinant in the development in microvascular complications of type 2 diabetes (Brownlee and Hirsch 2006) SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are a novel group of medications for treating type 2 diabetes patients but their effect on glucose variability, and oxidative stress has not been determined as a primary endpoint in clinical trials of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. The aim of this study is to compare the effect of SGLT2 inhibition on glucose variability, oxidative stress and inflammatory disease biomarkers (VCAM-1) on new onset type 2 DM patients.
In African-Americans, the incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is ~14%. Adherence to crucial diabetes self-management (DSM) behaviors, such as engaging in physical activity (PA) is dangerously low among AA women living in disadvantaged neighborhoods. These women manage numerous chronic challenges (daily discrimination, poverty, and violence), which drain the internal energy needed for DSM. The ability to self-regulate (modify one's behaviors based on the requirements of a situation) has been associated with adherence to health behaviors, including diet and PA. This 6-week ecological momentary intervention (EMI) feasibility study has been developed to reduce energy needs of DSM through use of self-regulation strategies delivered in real-time, in the real-world setting. Twenty-six AA women will receive personalized diabetes education over two days. They will be given a personalized activity prescription and a Fitbit wrist activity monitor. During the following two weeks, they will get a personal continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and individualized "cue cards" for simple behaviors they can try when glucose levels are too high. The intervention is grounded in self-regulation theory, and targets core self-regulation components, including self-monitoring/assessment, mental contrasting of target values with actual values, and goal-setting/review. The aim for this application is to Determine the feasibility and acceptability of an ecological momentary intervention, consisting of continuous glucose monitoring, activity tracking, and personalized cue cards with behavioral choices (eating/activity) driven by the results of glucose levels. Impact: Real-time feedback on the effects of activity and eating behaviors will enable patients to make choices and see results immediately. Our intervention will offer low-income African-American women opportunities to enact behaviors in their momentary environment, and will encourage autonomous motivation for PA uptake, and improving blood glucose control. Findings from this study will have an important positive impact on our ability to create tailored, EMIs among low-income adults who have limited access to diabetes specialty care and education.
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is increasing sharply around the world and obesity and sedentary lifestyles are driving the epidemic. Obesity is often, but not always present in patients with T2DM. The primary aim of this study is to understand the impact of the ratio of lean body mass (metabolically active skeletal muscle) to adipose tissue mass on the severity of insulin resistance and pancreatic beta cell dysfunction in non-obese and obese Qatar residents with T2DM. An exercise programme aimed to increase lean mass and aerobic capacity will be initiated for a period 10 weeks in non-obese and obese early onset diabetics who are residents of Qatar. The effect of the exercise programme on total body fat, regional fat distribution and intramuscular and intrahepatic fat content using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in these groups of diabetics will be assessed and related to total body insulin sensitivity and β-cell function as measured with the gold standard methods: the euglycemic clamp technique and arginine stimulation. Genetic approaches including candidate gene testing and non-targeted miRNA expression profiling and metabolomics are employed. Physical fitness pre- and post-intervention will also be assessed. The impact of the exercise programme on conventional inflammatory markers, the phenotype of immune cells, metabolic hormones, and markers of oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress and heat shock response (Hsp-72, Hsp -40/DNAJB3 and Hsp-25) are studied in relation to metabolic changes. Through this study, the contributions of fitness, fatness and exercise training on insulin resistance and beta cell function will be elucidated in Qatari residents with T2DM.

An Observational Study to assess the Prevalence of Heart Failure in Type 2 Diabetes Patients in India.
The purpose of this research is to gather data on how exercise can help recovery of muscle mass, strength, and physical function after bedrest in older adults with pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes.
In an unbiased metabolomics approach with subsequent pathway analyses, the current study seeks to examine the effect of Liraglutide treatment on the metabolic signature in treated patients as well as the effect of Liraglutide on various echocardiographic parameters of cardiac function and rhythm profile, thus paving the way for future research to explain the effects of Liraglutide on cardiovascular mortality and overall mortality in treated patients.
A two-period randomized crossover study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of nighttime pistachio consumption (i.e., after dinner and before sleep) on fasting blood sugar levels, longer-term blood sugar control, and risk factors for heart disease. This study will also investigate how pistachios affects gut health.
Nearly 25% of the world's population relies on traditional medicinal systems but for professionals their effectiveness and even more safety are the main concern. Therefore, the aim of this preliminary study is to assess safety and effectiveness of herbal tea mixture on the control of glycaemia in Type 2 diabetics.The mixture consists of nine plants which have well-documented traditional use for the control of glycaemia.
This is a single-center, open-labeled, parallel group, randomized controlled trial to access the effect and safety of the Artificial Intelligence Assisted Insulin Titration System in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
