Filter by:The study is a prospective, randomized, 52-week double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial in subjects with T1D followed by a 2-year safety follow-up.
Investigators will establish a longitudinal cohort of ~3,000 adults >18 years in Port-au-Prince using multistage random sampling, and follow them longitudinally to evaluate the prevalence and incidence of cardiovascular disease risk factors and diseases. Cardiovascular risk factors include hypertension, diabetes, obesity, dyslipidemia, kidney disease, poor diet, cigarette smoking, physical inactivity, and inflammation. Cardiovascular disease include angina and myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, and CVD mortality. It is anticipated that hypertension prevalence will be ≥10% in 18-30 year olds, that hypertension incidence will be >10 events/1000 person years. Association of determinants and risk factors with CVD will also be examined. Whole blood, serum, plasma, stool, and urine samples will be biobanked for future studies.
In Singapore, the prevalence of diabetes was approximately 12.8% in 2014 and was projected to rise to 22.7% in 2035. In 2015, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) reported that Singapore has the second highest proportion of diabetic patients among developed nations. The impact of poorly controlled diabetes on the individual, family and health system is well known. Previous studies have shown that older persons, specifically those with chronic conditions such as diabetes, often lack sufficient knowledge about their condition and thus frequently have poor self-management skills, which is essential for good health outcome. Health education among older persons, particularly those with chronic illnesses, has long been promoted as a priority. Chodosh and colleagues (2005) determined that there were benefits and significant improvement in blood glucose and blood pressure for chronic disease self-management programs for older adults with diabetes and high blood pressure respectively in a meta-analysis study. This project [Self-Care for Older People with Diabetes Mellitus (SCOPE-DM)] was therefore developed to help community-dwelling older patients with type 2 diabetes to effectively manage their disease by reducing diabetes-related risk factors and complications, leading to an improvement in their psychological well-being and health-related quality of life, as well as a reduction in future healthcare requirements from family and society. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the SCOPE-DM programme in improving the self-efficacy, motivation, medication adherence, health-related quality of life and diabetes knowledge among community-dwelling older adults with type 2 diabetes in Singapore. This proposed study is a prospective, four-group cluster randomized controlled trial. The participants will be followed up for 6 months at the community sites and Hua Mei Clinics of the Tsao Foundation. A set of questionnaires will be used to assess participants' self-efficacy, diabetic self-care activities, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), diabetes knowledge and medication adherence. Process evaluation will also be conducted to assess the acceptability, strengths and weaknesses of the 'SCOPE-DM: Live Well with Diabetes' programme based on the participants' perspectives through the conduct of qualitative interviews.
The study is a 'real-world' study which evaluates the safety and performance of the coronary DES-CRE8 in diabetic patients. As routine care, each patient will be followed until 12 months after stent implantation.
The researchers are doing this study to see if semaglutide can slow down the growth and worsening of chronic kidney disease in people with type 2 diabetes. Participants will get semaglutide (active medicine) or placebo ('dummy medicine'). This is known as participants' study medicine - which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Semaglutide is a medicine, doctors can prescribe in some countries for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Participants will get the study medicine in a pen. Participants will use the pen to inject the medicine in a skin fold once a week. The study will close when there is enough information collected to show clear result of the study. The total time participants will be in this study is about 3 to 5 years, but it could be longer.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of Centella asiatica on hydration status of lower leg skin of DM type 2 patients by measuring SRRC and Skin Capacitance in correlation with AGEs CML, inflammation marker IL-1α, and oxidative stress SOD in stratum corneum.
This study will look at the long-term effects of semaglutide (active medicine) on diabetic eye disease when compared to placebo (dummy medicine). The study will be performed in people with type 2 diabetes. Participants will either get semaglutide or placebo in addition to their diabetes medicines - which treatment the participant gets is decided by chance. Participants will inject the study medicine using a pen-injector. The medicine must be injected in a skin fold in the stomach, thigh or upper arm once a week. The study will last for 5 years.
The purpose of this study is to estimate the extent to which supported exercise training through wearable technology and mobile application affects glycemic control in comparison to supervised exercise training in patients with Type-2 Diabetes.
Major Problem People with diabetes have an increased risk of heart disease, heart failure, and death from a cardiovascular cause. Diabetes prevents efficient metabolism of fuel, causes inflammation and vascular disease that blocks normal blood flow, and inhibits the function of the heart after injury. These changes make diabetics more susceptible to heart attacks and heart failure. Resveratrol is found in grapes and red wine and has been shown to have beneficial effects in diabetic patients. In previous studies the investigators have shown that resveratrol can improve heart metabolism and function in pigs with diabetes and chronic lack of blood flow to the heart. Questions The investigators believe resveratrol will help reverse the negative effects of diabetes on the heart. The questions are: 1.How does the molecular machinery in the hearts of patients with diabetes differ from patients without diabetes? 2.Will resveratrol have an effect on heart metabolism, intracellular signaling, inflammation and blood vessel function? 3.Will resveratrol improve the number and function of cardiac stem cells, cells involved in heart repair? The investigators have been safely collecting tissue from the hearts of patients undergoing heart surgery. Preliminary studies show the investigators can isolate and study cells. The investigators have collected and assessed the function of endothelial cells, a measure of vascular health and can measure the level of endothelial injury and have studied the make-up of caveolae, structures on the cell membrane that are important for cell signaling and are negatively impacted by diabetes. This study is a unique collaboration among cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, and basic scientists.
This study aims to achieve more accurate early classification of diabetes and identification of which patients will rapidly require insulin treatment. The investigators will recruit 1200 participants who have been diagnosed with diabetes in the last year and were aged between 18 and 50 years at the time of diagnosis. The investigators will recruit an additional cohort of 800 participants diagnosed after age 50. The investigators will record clinical features and biomarkers that may help us to determine diabetes type at diagnosis and follow participants for 3 years to assess the development of severe insulin deficiency (measured using C-peptide) and insulin requirement. The investigators will assess utility of clinical features and additional biomarkers in identifying patients with rapid progression to insulin requirement. Findings will be integrated into a freely available clinical prediction models to assist classification of diabetes at diagnosis.
