Filter by:The Latinos Understanding the Need for Adherence in Diabetes (LUNA-D) study, is a randomized controlled trial testing the effectiveness of an integrated behavioral health and primary care chronic care disease management intervention for low income Latino patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) that have 2 or more chronic health conditions. LUNA-D focuses on diabetes management and behavioral health care integration.
Dapagliflozin is a highly selective, reversible and potent inhibitor of the sodium-glucose-linked Transporter 2 (SGLT2), which was successfully investigated for its use as a treatment option in type 2 diabetes mellitus. The effect of dapagliflozin is an increased glucosuria, and it was shown that mean blood glucose concentrations and postprandial glucose excursion in special were significantly reduced in type 2 diabetic patients. Due to its mechanism-of action it seems likely that also type 1 diabetic patients will benefit from dapagliflozin. The present study is focused on the effects of dapagliflozin on fasting glucose homeostasis and postprandial glucose excursion in male type 1diabetic patients. Participants will subsequently receive 10 milligrams of dapagliflozin and placebo for 3 days (equals 2 x 30mg per cross-over period) in a double-blind, randomised, cross-over design. The effects will be measured via euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp studies (fasting glucose homeostasis) and euglycemic oral glucose tolerance clamp tests (postprandial glucose excursions).
The purpose of the study is to understand the role chocolate milk compared to a fruit drink, with and without exercise, on glycaemic regulation and subjective appetite in children. The investigators hypothesize that chocolate milk in combination with exercise will have the greatest effect attenuating glycaemic response. Blood glucose will be measured by finger prick following drink consumption (0 min) and exercise or sitting (15 min), and at 65 minutes. Subjective appetite will be measured at 0, 20, 35, 50 and 65 minutes.
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of moderate glucose (blood sugar) control in diabetic and non-diabetic patients undergoing leg bypass surgery (LEB) or open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. We hypothesize that use of Fletcher Allen Health Care's current insulin infusion strategy will result in improved blood sugar control which will translate into decreased postoperative morbidity (fewer complications) and better long term outcomes when compared to patient outcomes at other institutions which utilize other blood sugar management strategies.
The investigators hypothesize that the physiological effects of milk on satiety and glycemic control are mediated by the interaction between its macronutrient components by both insulin-dependent and independent mechanisms.
Immediate feedback of hemoglobin A1c (A1c) results to adults with type 1 and 2 diabetes allows more appropriate care decisions at the clinic visit and may improve glycemic control. The investigators' objective is to determine whether immediate feedback of A1c results to children with type 1 diabetes will improve patient care and glycemic control.
Objectives. The investigators analysed the effects of tight glycemic control in regenerative potential of the myocardium during acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Background. A strict glycemic control after AMI improves the cardiac outcome. The role of tight glycemic control in regenerative potential of the myocardium during acute myocardial ischemia are still largely unknown. Methods. Sixty-five patients with first AMI undergoing coronary bypass surgery were studied: 25 normoglycemic patients served as control group; hyperglycemic patients (glucose >140 mg/dl) were randomized to intensive glycemic control (IGC, n=20; glucose goal 80-140 mg/dl) or conventional glycemic control (CGC, n=20; glucose goal180-200 mg/dl) for almost 3 days before surgery, using insulin infusion followed by subcutaneous insulin treatment. Echocardiographic parameters were investigated at admission and after treatment period. During surgery, oxidative stress (nitrotyrosine, O2- production), apoptosis (Caspase-3) and cardiac stem cells (CSCs) (c-kit, MDR1 and Sca-1 positive cells) were analysed in biopsy specimens taken from the peri-infarcted area.
The overall goal of this randomized clinical trial (RCT) is to test the efficacy of a culturally- and literacy-tailored cognitive-behavioral intervention designed to enhance adherence to diabetes self-management behaviors and improve glycemic control among low-income Hispanic individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Hyperglycemia forms a direct and independent risk factor for the development of cardiovascular co-morbidities in type 2 diabetes. Consumption of sucrose-sweetened soft drinks might further increase the prevalence of hyperglycemic episodes. The objective of the study was to assess glycemic control in type 2 diabetes patients and healthy lean and obese controls under strict dietary standardization but otherwise free living conditions, with and without the consumption of soft drinks.
CSP #465, "Glycemic Control and Complications in Diabetes Mellitus Type 2," was a randomized unblinded clinical trial comparing tight glycemic control to standard glycemic control. Tight glycemic control consisted of giving patients appropriate diabetic medications to lower the patient's HbA1c to around 7%, whereas standard control attempted to lower the patient's HbA1c to between 8% and 9%. The study was conducted at 20 VA medical centers. 1791 patients were randomized over the 2 year accrual period and then followed for an additional 5 years. Follow-up averaged between 5 and 7 years depending upon when the patient was enrolled in the study. Patients were seen on average every three months in the VA Outpatient Clinics. High blood pressure and elevated cholesterol were aggressively treated in patients in both treatment arms. Education regarding diet, exercise, smoking cessation and management of very high and very low glucose was also provided. Data were collected throughout the study on the patients' physical status, adverse and serious adverse events, concomitant medications, and study end points including mortality, heart attack, stroke and surgery to fix the arteries in the heart, legs or neck. The study consisted of broad use of all anti-diabetic treatments commercially available between 2000 and 2008 including oral medications and insulin. Study required medications and all study clinic visits were provided free of the usual VA co-pay. Active clinical follow-up of the sample ended on May 31, 2008. With the end of the clinical trial the patients were transitioned back to usual patient care services, treatment regimens were adjusted where appropriate and future treatment will be dictated by the patient's health and his/her health care provider. It is important to clarify that with the completion of the active clinical trial and transitioning of patients to this observational trial, all responsibility for the care, treatment and oversight of the study patients will become the responsibility of the patients' Primary Care Physician. The Long Term Follow-up will not collect adverse or serious adverse events, or actively treat or have any "hands-on" care responsibility for the study participants. The proposed Long Term Follow-up Study will consist of centralized computer database searches and annual survey questionnaires related to quality of life and self-reported events pertinent to the CSP #465 study.
