Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the relative bioavailability by measuring the extent and rate of absorption of different tablet formulations of AZD1656 in T2DM patients.
The principal goal of this study was to assess the feasibility of plasma glucose testing in private dental practice. A second aim was was to assess prevalence of plasma glucose abnormalities in dental patients seen by (DPBRN) practitioner-investigators.
The overall research plan is to test the hypothesis that intraoperative treatment of hyperinsulinemic normoglycemic clamp (HNC) in cardiac surgical patients improves myocardial function and short-term outcomes compared with standard glucose management.
The objective of this study is to determine the best insulin regimen for hospitalized patients who receive high doses of steroids who have high blood glucose.
The purpose of this study is to estimate the acute effect of hyperglycemia on Very-Low-Density-Lipoprotein-triglyceride(VLDL-TG) secretion.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between 1,5-Anhydroglucitol in patients with HbA1C <7%, and glycemic excursions as assessed by the continuous glucose monitoring system compared to fructosamine.
This Study is looking at whether high blood glucose levels after a meal affect arterial stiffness more or less than low blood glucose levels, and whether certain cardiovascular markers influence the outcome of this.
Diabetes is highly prevalent in the elderly, afflicting about 20% of older adults aged 65-75 years and 40% of adults >80years of age. It is expected that the number of elderly people suffering from diabetes will increase in the future, as general life expectancy is increasing. Nursing home residents with diabetes have higher rates of serious comorbidities and have greater activity of daily living dependencies than other residents without diabetes. In addition, persons with diabetes have higher risk of hypertension, heart disease, stroke depression, cognitive impairment, and cardiovascular mortality than individuals without diabetes. There are a few retrospective studies in elderly patients analyzing quality of diabetes care and glycemic control adjusted for medications and presence of co-morbidities in long-term care facilities; however, no previous randomized controlled trials have demonstrated benefits of glycemic control on clinical outcome, quality of life, and rate of acute metabolic complications (hyperglycemia and hypoglycemic events) in long-term care facilities. In addition, it is not known whether the use of basal insulin is superior to treatment with sliding scale insulin (SSI) in long-term care facility residents with type 2 diabetes. Accordingly, the investigators propose to conduct a prospective randomized control trial comparing the efficacy and safety of the basal (glargine) insulin regimen and sliding scale regular insulin in the management of nursing home patients with T2DM.
This clinical study will attempt to find out why in early studies in healthy volunteers, injections under the skin of pasireotide were associated with temporary increases in both fasting and post-meal glucose levels, along with possible increases in insulin and glucagon levels. Glucose refers to the amount of sugar in your blood and insulin and glucagon levels are amounts of hormones that lower and raise blood sugar. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effects of pasireotide on insulin resistance and secretion. Insulin is a natural hormone made by the pancreas (a gland inside the abdomen) that controls the level of sugar in the blood. Insulin permits cells to use sugar for energy. Insulin resistance is the condition in which higher than normal amounts of insulin are necessary to allow the sugar to enter the cells. Insulin secretion refers to the amount of insulin produced by the body and released in the blood. Glucagon is a hormone (chemical substance produced by the pancreas gland in the body) which increases blood glucose.
The primary goal of this project is to determine whether normalizing hyperglycemia is a safe approach to improve multisystem organ function in critically ill children requiring intensive care. The will are conducting the "PedETrol" (the "Pediatric ICUs at Emory-Children's Center Glycemic Control: The PedETrol Trial) Trial, a 4-year single-center, prospective, randomized clinical trial to evaluate the outcome benefit, safety and resource utilization impact of maintaining strict glucose control in children with life-threatening conditions. ***This study is supported by an Research Project Grant (RO1 grant) (MRR) via the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI).
