Filter by:The purpose of this study is to identify eyes that show worsening and disease progression (progressor phenotypes).
This study compares the patterns of dental implant stabilization between a standard and chemically modified implant surface in patients with type 2 diabetes. It is hypothesized that the chemically modified surface will enhance early healing events (first 4 months following placement)in diabetes patients with compromises in rate of implant integration.
Type 2 diabetes is more common among African Americans than Caucasians. African Americans are also at a higher risk for lower levels of vitamin D compared to other ethnic groups. The investigators don't yet know if there is a connection between not having enough vitamin D and type 2 diabetes in African Americans. Researchers have found that the less vitamin D Caucasians had the higher the chance they would have type 2 diabetes but it is less clear if this is the case for African Americans. The investigators want to better understand how vitamin D status and diabetes risk are linked in African Americans. Also, the investigators want to see if supplementation with vitamin D will improve your blood pressure, blood sugar, & insulin. All of these are in some way related to diabetes. The investigators want to measure changes in blood sugar & blood pressure in people who do not have diabetes with the hope of learning new information to help treat those that do have diabetes. The investigators hypothesize that vitamin D status is related to diabetes risk measured by hemoglobin A1c (a test of glucose level over time), fasting glucose and insulin in non-diabetic African American adults and that body weight status may affect vitamin D status in response to vitamin D supplements compared to placebo.
The purpose of this study is to learn whether dapagliflozin, after 12 weeks, can improve (decrease) blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes with uncontrolled hypertension who are on an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or an angiotensin receptor blocker. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
The investigators propose a pilot study to test the novel hypothesis that Exenatide treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes results in improved sleep duration and quality and to explore the relationship between improvements in sleep and measures of metabolic and circadian function. This project would be the first to probe the relationship between incretin hormone regulation, duration and intensity of sleep, glucose tolerance and circadian dysfunction in diabetic patients.
The overall goal of the proposed protocol is to rigorously test the hypothesis that CPAP treatment has beneficial effects on glycemic control in patients with both type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). If our hypothesis were to be proven, this would imply that CPAP treatment of OSA in patients with T2DM is an essential component of their glycemic control. The proposed work is thus expected to provide additional preventive and therapeutic approaches in the management of millions of patients with T2DM.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacodynamics (PD), pharmacokinetics (PK), safety and tolerability following single oral doses of 0.001 mg to 2.5 mg dapagliflozin in healthy subjects.
The purpose of this study is to determine predictors of response to pioglitazone, an anti-diabetic medication. The investigators know from randomized clinical trials that some 30% of patients do not respond to this type of medication. There is presently no way to identify this group of patients leading to unnecessary drug exposure and medication costs.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the level of control of cardiovascular disease risk factors, including blood pressure, blood lipid, and blood glucose, in out patients with type 2 DM in 6 representative regions in China: Northeast, North, East, South, Southwest and Northwest, measured by, 1. Proportion of patients reaching adequate control of blood glucose 2. Proportion of patients reaching adequate control of blood glucose and blood pressure, or blood glucose and blood lipid 3. Proportion of patients reaching adequate control of all 3Bs, i.e. blood glucose, blood pressure, and blood lipid.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the addition of saxagliptin to a patient's combination treatment of metformin and sulfonylurea for a 24 week period will provide better control of the patient's type 2 diabetes and will be well tolerated.
