Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the extent to which a culturally appropriate, self-management intervention that combines patient education with a patient outreach liaison strategy improves outcomes associated with type-2 diabetes among low-income diabetic women.
The main aim of this study is to compare 2 different measurements of visceral fat that can be easily used in clinical practice (waist circumference versus bioelectric impedance) in relation to known risk factors of coronary artery disease in a large cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes and with a BMI range between 20-45 kg/m2
This study compared the effectiveness and safety of two treatment algorithms for insulin detemir initiation and titration: active titration algorithm (performed by investigator weekly) versus usual titration algorithm (performed by study subjects weekly) in patients with type 2 diabetes poorly controlled by OADs.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of bariatric surgery on blood sugar control and underlying mechanisms that contribute to type 2 diabetes in men and women with a BMI between 27 and 42. Sixty subjects will be randomized to either undergo the roux-en-y gastric bypass operation or intensive medical, dietary and exercise management.
The purpose of the study is assessment of glycemic control and physicians satisfaction with results of DM2 OAD monotherapy
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) 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). We propose a double-blind, randomized controlled study comparing the effect of liraglutide (a novel anti-diabetic drug with beta-cell protective potential) versus placebo, on the preservation of beta-cell function over one year in patients with T2DM. This study may demonstrate an important beta-cell protective capacity of liraglutide.
The interplay of genetic and behavioral factors is critical to understanding obesity. Behavioral weight loss intervention has emerged as a key strategy in combating obesity. However, individuals differ in their degree of success in these programs and genetic factors are known to play a role. In this application, the investigators propose to identify specific genes that predict individual differences in weight loss and high density lipoprotein cholesterol in response to behavioral intervention to help identify individuals that struggle with weight loss and cholesterol despite behavioral efforts.
The primary aims are to test the effectiveness of the self-help DM intervention (SHIP-DM), a comprehensive, culturally tailored DM management intervention, in improving glucose outcomes; To determine the effectiveness of the SHIP-DM in KAI with type 2 DM in improving self-care skills and psycho-behavioral outcomes related to DM control, to develop tangible infrastructures for the dissemination of valid and effective education materials to a wider population of KAI with type 2 DM in the US (e.g., audio-visual education materials, web-based intervention materials, mobile telephone-based intervention materials) and to explore the feasibility and acceptability of each dissemination module, utilizing the delayed intervention group participants. The secondary aims are to obtain preliminary cost-effectiveness data related to the proposed intervention, including cost estimates for this type of DM intervention, and to establish a systematic, long-term dissemination plan, including documenting effective methodologies, to facilitate faster translation of research findings and products to direct consumers in non-research settings.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effects on anthropometric, glucose metabolism and lipid profile biomarkers of exchanging with high-protein, low-glycemic index products (40-30-30) the habitual breakfast, mid-morning and afternoon snacks on type-2 diabetes patients following a chronologically scheduled pattern.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether TH9507, a stabilized analogue of growth hormone-releasing factor (GRF), would have an effect on insulin sensitivity or control of diabetes in patients with type 2 diabetes.
