Filter by:The goal of this pilot, randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled trial is to evaluate the feasibility of and provide preliminary information for a multi-center randomized controlled trial that will assess the effects of metformin on blood sugar control in patients after total hip or total knee replacement surgery. The primary objective of this study is to assess the feasibility of conducting a large, randomized trial with regards to timely recruitment, study drug administration, protocol adherence, and overall retention in patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty. Secondarily, the investigators aim to obtain preliminary estimates of group-specific outcome means and variances for primary and secondary outcomes of a larger future trial.
The overall objective of this research is to determine the digestive faith and health impact of protein and fiber rich foods in different food matrices in type 2 diabetes risk population. This is achieved by controlled postprandial intervention where plasma amino acids, lipids, glucose metabolism, bile acids and microbial metabolites are evaluated as well as fecal microbiota and metabolites.
The goal of this study is to investigate the relationship between vitamin D status and a diabetes risk factor, postprandial glycaemic response in White, South Asian and Black African Caribbean populations in East London. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Are there differences in postprandial glycaemic response to a sugar water drink or orange juice between White, South Asian and Black African Caribbean people in East London? - Is there a relationship plasma 25(OH)D and the postprandial glycaemic response to a sugar water drink or orange juice consumption? - What are the knowledge and perceptions of vitamin D intake between White, South Asian and Black African Caribbean people in East London? - Is there a difference in dietary vitamin D intake between the three ethnic groups? Participants will make two visits to the lab, approximately 2.5 hours each. The order of the two drinks will be randomized via Excel Random function. For each visit, the blood sugar levels will be measured at fasting (0) and every 30 minutes up to 2 hours postprandially (5 times total) using a finger prick. At baseline only (visit 1), participants will fill out a knowledge and perception survey, provide a 4-day estimated food diary, provide a 7 ml blood sample via phlebotomy, and have their height, weight and body fat percentage measured.
This is a single-center, observational, descriptive, longitudinal, and prospective study This study aims to determine the cumulative incidence during admission and the incidence rate of potential hypoglycemic events (defined as subcutaneous glucose <80 mg/dL detected by CGM) in patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of HLA Moncloa Hospital over four years of follow-up. The study also aims to document the occurrences of hypoglycemic events, describe the characteristics of patients receiving CGM sensors, and outline the actions taken as a result of detecting potential hypoglycemic events
Clinical guidelines from professional organizations have recommended the use of multidose insulin regimens as the preferred therapy for glycaemic control in patients admitted to hospital in a non-intensive-careunit setting. The use of a basal-bolus regimen with a once daily basal insulin and rapid-acting insulin analogs before meals has been shown to improve glycaemic control and to reduce the rate of hospital complications in general medical and surgical patients with type 2 diabetes.The basal-bolus regimen however is labour intensive, requiring several insulin injections, and is associated with a high risk of hypoglycaemia. Hypoglycaemia has been reported in 12% to 32% of patients in general medicine and surgery with type 2 diabetes treated with basal-bolus insulin regimens.Because of these limitations, alternative treatment regimens are needed that could improve glycaemic control and clinical outcomes, while facilitating care and minimising the risk of hypoglycaemia in patients with diabetes.
One third of women with gestational diabetes (GDM), diabetes diagnosed during pregnancy, have abnormal glucose levels within 3 years after pregnancy, but follow up is low. Continuous glucose monitors (CGM), a small sensor inserted under the skin, may be able to screen women with GDM for diabetes risk. The investigators will ask postpartum women to use CGM at 6-8 weeks postpartum and answer surveys about quality of life after wearing the CGM. The investigators will collect data on blood glucose trends for future studies if participants find CGM use acceptable. The investigators hope to learn if CGM could improve postpartum follow up experiences for people with recent GDM.
Hyperglycemia associated with insulin resistance is common in critically ill patients, even in those nondiabetic patients. Hyperglycaemia or relative insulin deficiency (or both) during critical illness may directly or indirectly confer a predisposition to complications, such as severe infections, polyneuropathy, multiple-organ failure, and death. Tight glycaemic control in adult long-stay critically ill patients using intensive insulin therapy reduces absolute mortality. It has been reported that pronounced hyperglycemia may lead to complications in such patients, although data from controlled trials are lacking. However, target glycaemia may be difficult to achieve in clinical practice. Insulin adsorption onto infusion equipment (e.g., infusion tubing) may affect glucose control, possibly leading to hyperglycemia. In the use of low-level intravenous insulin infusion for treating diabetic hyperglycaemia and ketoacidosis adsorption of insulin to containers or plastic infusion apparatus results in significant losses of 60-80% of insulin in dilute physiological saline solution. Problem statement & Study rationale Up to my knowledge, there is no study that demonstrate differences between types of dilution for insulin infusion in ICU patient in Malaysia; thus, this study is aimed to evaluate it. In 2001 it has been reported that intensive insulin therapy (IIT) in surgical intensive care unit (ICU) patients was associated with reduction in mortality and morbidity as well as other associated factors. There is limited study in comparing dilution of insulin in normal saline and other types of diluents. Other than that, it is important to know which diluent the best is to choose for the management of hyperglycaemia in ICU patient.
The role of ultralong insulin in the control of the blood glucose level in diabetic patients is well known, the current study will discuss the role of ultralong insulin in controlling of hyperglycaemia in critical illness defined as failure or impending failure of an organ
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of 12 weeks of 1.5 cups per day of fresh mango on glucose control, insulin resistance, lipids, inflammation, oxidation and body composition in individuals with prediabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the effect of 1.5 cups per day of fresh mango over 12 weeks on indicators of glycemic control including fasting glucose and HgbA1c? - What is the effect of 1.5 cups per day of fresh mango over 12 weeks on fasting blood insulin and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)? - What is the effect of 1.5 cups per day of fresh mango over 12 weeks on lipids including LDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides? - What is the effect of 1.5 cups per day of fresh mango over 12 weeks on oxidative stress including oxidized LDL-cholesterol and 8-iso-PGF2-alpha? - What is the effect of 1.5 cups per day of fresh mango over 12 weeks on markers of inflammation including c-reactive protein, e-selectin, ICAM and VCAM? - What is the effect of 1.5 cups per day of fresh mango over 12 weeks on percent body fat, fat mass, and lean mass? Participants will be asked to: - Consume 1.5 cups of mango per day for 12 weeks, take a 4 week break, and then avoid consuming mangos for 12 weeks - Attend a prerandomization clinic prior to study - Attend three (3) clinics where blood will be drawn during weeks 0, 12, and 28 of the study - Attend eight (8) clinics where anthropometric measurements (height, weight, body composition) will be conducted and interaction with study clinicians will occur during weeks 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, and 28 of the study - Complete questionnaires and surveys in person and remotely, including six (6) 24-hour dietary recalls. Researchers will compare the 12 weeks participants consume mango to the 12 weeks the participants are not consuming mango to see if there are differences in glycemic indicators, insulin resistance, lipids, inflammation, oxidation and body composition between the two time periods.
The goal of this prospective, observational study is to compare in the association of glycemic control and retinal microvascular changes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) without diabetic retinopathy (DR). The main question it aims to answer are: • Do degenerative changes in retinal microvasculature or nerves depend on glycemic control even before diabetic retinopathy is detected? Participants will receive an annual routine comprehensive examination including ultra-widefield fundus photography, spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT), and swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
