Filter by:The aim of this study is to investigate weather gradual weight loss achieved with healthy lifestyle changes influence hormonal factors affecting appetite and blood glucose control in obese people without presence of diabetes.
SYSDIET (Systems biology in controlled dietary interventions and cohort studies) is one of the three centres in the NCoE Food, Nutrition and Health, 2007-2011. It consists of 12 partners from five Nordic countries working on multidisciplinary fields of science related to nutritional biology. The main objective of SYSDIET is to reveal mechanisms by which Nordic foods and diets could be modified to promote health and prevent insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, all of which being connected to metabolic syndrome. Furthermore, the aim is to build up a Nordic platform for cohort studies and carefully conducted multi-centre dietary intervention studies, where novel nutritional systems biology tools can be applied besides human studies also in animal and cell culture studies. In order to achieve the main objective a Nordic multi-centre randomized controlled human intervention study is being conducted in 2009-2010 in 6-8 centres of SYSDIET consortium. Health of the Nordic populations has substantially improved during the last 30 years. This is due e.g. to marked decline in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, during the last 10-20 years increasing obesity and sedentary lifestyle have resulted in an increase of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. Having this background, the aim of the SYSDIET consortium is to carry out a controlled, randomized dietary intervention study in persons with features of metabolic syndrome to find out the effects of a healthy Nordic food on major abnormalities in metabolic syndrome. Altogether 167 persons aged 30 to 65 years were recruited from 6-8 centers (40-60 subjects/center) of the SYSDIET cohort. The main inclusion criterion is BMI 27-38 kg/m2. The subjects should also have at least two other IDF criteria for metabolic syndrome. Recruited persons will start the study by following their conventional diet for one month as a run-in period. After that subjects will be randomly assigned into Experimental- or Control-diet-group for 6 months. Experimental diet is rich in whole grain products, berries, fruits, vegetables and fish, and its fat intake is modified according to current Nordic recommendations. Control diet is based on the current information of the mean dietary intake and food consumption. The diets will be realized according to eating habits in each Nordic country.
The investigators aim to establish the effectiveness of a prescribed, community-based lifestyle modification program for those with recently diagnosed diabetes. The investigators hypothesize that those who enter a 6 month program will report greater levels of physical activity compared to a group who do not enter the program but who continue to receive usual care.
The main objective of the study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the Gastrointestinal (GI) EndoBarrier in the glycemic control of diabetes in subjects with Type 2 diabetes.
This study aims to investigate how dapagliflozin can control blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes when added to existing treatments (sitagliptin alone or in combination with metformin). The effect of dapagliflozin on weight and blood pressure will also be studied.
This study compared the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of an oral insulin formulation with that of a standard subcutaneous injection of regular human insulin.
The objective of this translational research is to study the effect of implementing an innovative simulated diabetes learning intervention within primary care residency programs. The intervention uses cognitive behavioral learning theory to provide goal-directed feedback to residents after every encounter over a series of virtual patient-physician encounters. Formulas derived from pharmacokinetic data and the experience of clinical experts model simulated physiologic responses to drug changes, health behaviors, and adherence factors. The online intervention is economical, sustainable, and addresses a number of current obstacles to outpatient diabetes training in primary care residency programs. In this group trial, we randomly assign about 20 primary care residency programs with up to 700 residents total to either an (a) Early learning program group or (b) Delayed learning program group. We will assess the ability of residents to achieve evidence-based diabetes clinical goals and avoid potential medical safety issues for glycemia, blood pressure, and lipids on simulated assessment cases. Secondary analyses will evaluate the actual use of the tool by residents, direct costs of the program, and resident satisfaction.
The study is a prospective randomized study comparing safety and effectiveness of a basal-bolus regimen with glargine once daily and glulisine before meals, a basal plus regimen with glargine once daily and supplemental doses of glulisine, and sliding scale regular insulin (SSI) on correction of insulin regimen for the hospital management of medical and surgical patients with type 2 diabetes.
This study will assess the pharmacokinetics of two formulations of MK-1006. The primary hypothesis of this study is that the MK-1006 area under the curve (0 to infinity) and maximum concentration after administration of a single 80 mg dose of the dry filled capsule (DFC) and film coated tablet (FCT) formulations of MK-1006 will be similar.
This study will determine the effect of concomitant administration of sitagliptin and metformin on post-meal incretin hormone concentrations in healthy adults.
