Filter by:Basic treatment of type 2 diabetes should focus on diet, physical activity and lifestyle. Nevertheless, in early and late stage of T2DM, lifestyle intervention is mostly substituted by pharmacological intervention, although lifestyle modification and dietary treatment would be favourable. The researchers therefore investigate dietary strategies such as low-carb and very-low calory diets regarding their potential to improve metabolism and body weight in (mostly) long-term T2DM patients. This core comparison is dealt with in the DiNA-D study (published elsewhere). POLYPHEM targets specific dietary approach to preserve the achieved metabolic improvements from DiNA-D phase 1. Nutritional factors will be PUFAs and BCAAs.
The main purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of enhanced GI-targeted nutrition education on dietary behaviour and intakes among adults with type 2 diabetes. Sixty-six eligible participants will be randomized into two equal groups using a pragmatic randomized controlled trial design.
Purpose: This study is carried out to determine the effect of GI on 24 hour blood glucose profiles and energy regulation in Asians when fed a normal diet modulated with sweeteners.
The purpose of this study is to assess the reduction in treatment burden during 12 weeks of trelagliptin administration in patients with type 2 diabetes on diet and exercise therapy only.
The purpose of this study is to find out if treatment with Glargine U300 when compared to Glargine U100 will result in similar sugar control in patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), who are admitted to the hospital and then transition at home, after discharge from the hospital.
The incidence of atopic dermatitis and type 2 diabetes, respectively, has increased over many years. Novel research shows an association between the two conditions. While this relationship at least in theory can be explained by lifestyle factors, there is reason to believe that other pathophysiological mechanisms are involved. Hence, our hypothesis is that patients with atopic dermatitis are insulin resistant due to their chronic inflammatory state. Insulin resistance might play an unknown part in the increased frequency of type 2 diabetes among patients with atopic dermatitis. In the present project, the investigators aim to measure insulin sensitivity by means of the 'golden standard' hyperinsulinaemic euglycaemic clamp in patients suffering from atopic dermatitis compared to a healthy control group (matched case-control study). The project is a close collaboration between The Department of Dermatology and Allergy and Center for Diabetes Research at Gentofte Hospital.
The focus of this study is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact of a customized, combined positive psychology and motivational interviewing (PP-MI) health behavior intervention in a group of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
This is a retrospective cohort study based on Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) database analysis to compare therapy effectiveness, and cost between exenatide and basal insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a chronic condition characterized by elevated blood sugar levels (hyperglycaemia) that can result in an increased risk of a variety of conditions including heart disease, strokes, kidney failure, blindness and amputation. Whilst initially patients may control their blood sugar by lifestyle modification (diet and exercise), ultimately most will require therapeutic intervention with regimens that increase in complexity as T2DM progresses. Exenatide is a relatively recent anti-diabetic drug which is known to lead to weight loss as well as improved blood glucose control. It has also been associated with reduced heart attacks and strokes. In this study CPRD database will be used to compare outcomes for patients prescribed exenatide compared with those prescribed insulin; a more established treatment for T2DM. In particular changes from baseline in blood sugar control and weight will be considered as the primary outcomes. As the choice to treat with exenatide or insulin will be related to patient characteristics which may in themselves be associated with the outcomes of the study we aim to match study patients on some of these key variables and adjust for others in our analysis.
Exenatide once weekly (Bydureon) was approved in January 2012 by FDA in USA for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Evidence from clinical trials suggested that Bydureon improves glucose control with low risk of hypoglycemia. Bydureon does not require a dose titration as necessary for other glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists, and appears to have other advantages, such as reducing insulin resistance, reducing weight, and improving blood pressure and lipid profiles. However, the degree to which these advantages of Bydureon lead to improve outcomes in customary clinical care is unknown. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of Bydureon relative to basal insulin initiated as first-ever injectable therapeutic regimens used in customary clinical care. Patients who initiated treatment with Bydureon or basal insulin between July 2011 and March 2015 will be recruited into the study cohorts from Optum's database of electronic health records. The two treatment cohorts will be matched by propensity score method.Clinical outcomes of HbA1c, weight, and gastrointestinal symptoms and hypoglycemia are investigated.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of investigational doses of dulaglutide in participants with type 2 diabetes on metformin monotherapy.
