Filter by:The investigators are conducting an intervention study to examine the effects of a 16-week exercise and diet interventions on prevention of disease, specifically type 2 diabetes and heart disease, in African American youth. Sixty overweight African American boys and girls will be recruited and placed in one of the following intervention groups: 1) Control Group (delayed intervention), 2) Dietary Education Group (nutrition education focused on reducing sugar & soda, increased fiber & whole grain intake), or 3) Combination of Strength Training (twice/week for 60 min, progressive increases in exercise volume and intensity) + Dietary Education (nutrition education focused on reducing sugar & soda, increased fiber & whole grain intake). The investigators will assess which intervention group has the most effects on health parameters such as weight, body composition, and insulin related measures.
To characterise phenotypes of Non Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (NPDR) progression using multimodal testing/imaging procedures.
The purpose of the meal study is to investigate acute effects on satiety and inflammation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGE) in healthy overweight subjects. The AGE content of the meal is affected by food preparation methods: frying/grilling versus boiling/steaming.
The purpose of this study is to determine if T2-18C3, a true human monoclonal antibody that blocks inflammation, is safe to use in patients with type 2 diabetes. The study will also be looking at the ability of T2-18C3 to improve control of blood sugar levels in diabetics by blocking inflammation in the pancreas.
Type 2 diabetes has a growing impact on populations and public health worldwide. Clinical trials have clearly demonstrated that a better control of blood glucose level and of other risk factors is efficient in preventing or retarding the complications of the disease. On Reunion island, Type 2 diabetes is present in 18% of population aged 30 or older with a high level of socio-economic deprivation. The hypothesis of the ERMIES study is that a structured group self-management education maintained at the community level for 2 years in patients with insufficiently controlled type 2 diabetes has better metabolic results (as attested by improvement in HbA1c level) at 2 yrs, compared to an initial short term (< 3 months) self-management program, based on the same theoretical basis and framework (learning nests empowerment). A total of 240 adults living in Reunion Island, with type 2 diabetes mellitus with HbA1c ≥ 7.5% on a stable treatment for at least 3 months will be randomly allocated to 2 intervention arms: either a short term (< 3 months) program (1 to 7 thematic 2-hr long sessions depending on individual assessment), or a long term program including the same initial program as 1st arm, but with group self management education sessions, maintained for 2 years (4-monthly assessment, empowerment, and contextual action planning; facultative additional specific thematic sessions being delivered if needed). Medical visits will be held quarterly for the recording of outcome measures (HbA1c, blood pressure, anthropometrics, tobacco consumption, diabetes complications) and yearly for blood glucose, lipids, micro-albuminuria or proteinuria, creatinine clearance, diet and exercise (questionnaires), treatment recording, quality of life, self-efficacy, anxiety and depression scales, and social support.
Lowering LDL cholesterol by statins has been proven to be associated with reduction of proinflammatory regulators e.g. activation of the transcription factor NF-ĸB. Up to now the effects of newer cholesterol lowering agents such as ezetemibe with respect to their anti-inflammatory potential are less intensively studied. Therefore the investigators analyzed whether equipotent LDL-lowering therapy with simvastatin alone and in combination with ezetimibe have comparable effects on NF-ĸB-activation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with type 2 diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether intensive blood pressure and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol lowering could improve survival and cardiovascular outcome in Japanese diabetic patients with coronary artery disease and history of acute coronary syndrome.
An increasing proportion of Sweden's population comprises non-European immigrants, who constitute a high risk-population for T2D. Numbering almost 9,000 individuals, Iraqi citizens represent the largest immigrant group in Malmoe and are identified as a risk group for Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) in whom genetic and lifestyle factors probably play significant roles in the development of T2D. Several studies have shown that adoption of an active lifestyle by at-risk individuals dramatically reduces the risk of T2D. However, there are currently no established methods for providing support to high-risk individuals from different cultural and social backgrounds to help them adopt beneficial lasting lifestyle changes. Instead of just waiting for Iraqi high-risk individuals to develop T2D, this project will implement and assess lifestyle intervention programs aimed at reducing the risk of developing T2D and tailored to individuals with a different social and cultural background. The study thus seeks to optimize preventive action in health care and aims to facilitate the adoption of permanent changes in lifestyle in high-risk patients, taking account of cultural and social barriers. Since T2D is associated with a sedentary lifestyle and develops earlier in men than women and an average 10 years earlier in immigrants from the Middle East than in native Swedes, it is crucial to study pathogenic mechanisms triggering T2D development in relation to sex, lifestyle and ethnic background. The results will provide the basis for deciding how health care providers can actively work to prevent T2D and other lifestyle-associated diseases in this high-risk population that has not been studied before.
The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the effect of moderate versus high intensity exercise training on physical fitness and physical function in patients with type 2 diabetes. The research hypothesis is that high intensity exercise training will be superior to moderate intensity on such outcomes in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
This study investigates the effect of exenatide, a FDA approved medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes on sleep duration and quality. Individuals with type 2 diabetes will be studied before and during treatment with Exenatide. Enrolled individuals will be asked to come to the University of Chicago for 3-4 outpatient visits over the course of 3-4 months.
