Filter by:The purpose of this study is to confirm hypothesis that Glibenclamide can be administered orally and is an alternative to insulin therapy in treating transient hyperglycemia of premature newborns.
The goal of this observational study is to assess if diabetes and obesity are independently related to functional and structural muscle deficits, and how muscular deficits relate to metabolic properties of diabetes and obesity. All studies will include clinical muscle strength and contractile examinations, functional tests, and MR imaging and spectroscopy techniques. The main questions this project aims to answer are: 1. Is chronic hyperglycemia in type 1 and 2 diabetes associated with functional and structural deficits of skeletal muscles unrelated to the presence of neuropathy? 2. Is obesity associated with functional and structural impairments of skeletal muscles unrelated to the presence of type 2 diabetes ? 3. Does weight loss improve muscle metabolic flexibility and economy and modify skeletal muscle function and structure in obese subjects with and without type 2 diabetes? The project will include three studies, intended to answer the hypotheses listed above: Study 1: Evaluation of functional and structural muscular deficits of diabetic myopathy in relation to prolonged hyperglycemia prior to and 6 months following glycemic improvement in patients with type 1 and 2 diabetes Study 2: Functional and structural muscular deficits in severely obese subjects with and without type 2 diabetes prior to assisted weight loss. Study 3: Changes in functional and structural muscle properties following assisted weight loss in severely obese subjects with and without type 2 diabetes - a 1-year follow-up study.
Adipose tissue secreting a number of adipokines which regulate insulin sensitivity, energy metabolism and vascular homeostasis, so the dysfunction of adipose tissue is linked with the incidence of obesity accompanied with insulin resistance, hypertension and cardiovascular disease (1). Obesity is known to alters the expression of adipokines due to the adipose tissue hypertrophy (2), including adiponectin, in which able to exert a potent anti-inflammatory and vascular protective effect (2). It has been proposed that adiponectin acts to prevent the vascular dysfunction due to obesity and diabetes by improves insulin sensitivity and metabolic profiles to reduce the risk factors for cardiovascular disease and protects the vasculature through its pleiotropic actions on endothelial cells, endothelial progenitor cells, smooth muscle cells and macrophages (1). The concentrations of adiponectin of 5 to 25 mg/mL had a significant inhibitory effect on the expression of monocyte adhesion and adhesion molecule induced by TNF-α in vitro. Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease in which adhesion molecules on arterial endothelial cells are responsible for the accumulation of monocytes/macrophages and T lymphocytes. While obesity is low-grade inflammation in which make a contribution on endothelial dysfunction by increasing the oxygen-derived free radicals (ROS) due to adipocyte hypertrophy, leads to an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and mitochondrial dysfunction (3). Adiponectin is accumulated in the vasculature, and it reduced on obesity due to suppression by TNF-α and lead to adiponectin-deficiency which stimulate the significant increases of Vascular cell adhesion protein 1 (VCAM-1) and Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 1 (ICAM-1) or known as CD54 in aortic intima (4). Here we investigate the level of adiponectin, ICAM-1, VCAM-1 with the incidence of MetS in obese adolescents.
The average adult in the US consumes over 1/3 of a cup of sugar each day, or nearly 300 calories worth, with the primary sources being from beverages, desserts and sweet snacks, candy, additions to beverages, and foods such as breakfast cereals. This is a risky health behavior, as high added sugar intake relates to higher risk of gaining weight, blood sugar disorders such as type 2 diabetes, plus heart disease and various cancers. Thus, high added sugar intake is problematic, and something in need of reducing. Therefore, the investigators are proposing to test how commercial foods sweetened with a new, FDA approved rare sugar with net zero calories (allulose), that is derived from dried fruits, brown sugar, and maple syrup may impact added sugar intake and usual blood sugar levels. The investigators are doing this by a randomized trial, in which the investigators will recruit participants with abnormal blood sugars (prediabetes or diabetes) or higher metabolic risk (bigger waist and elevated blood pressure or blood cholesterol) and ask them in random order to include foods in their usual dietary intake that are sweetened by regular sugars (regular sugar), foods that are sweetened by the zero calorie rare sugar allulose (low added sugar), or low added sugar intake by higher intake of fresh fruits and minimally processed and sweetened foods in place of usual sweetened foods. The investigators will measure their usual blood sugar levels for each of these 3 different 2- week periods with a blood glucose monitor, along with what they eat each of those periods, their blood pressure, and how the different dietary approaches impact how they feel.
CLUE trial aims to determine the feasibility and predictive value for surgical site infection (SSI) of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in emergency laparotomy patients with diffuse peritonitis.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the acute effects on postprandial lipemia and glycemia by supplementing a high-fat meal with either white button (WB) or shiitake (SH) mushroom powder in relatively healthy adults, aged 18 to 35.
In this study the investigators will explore whether the motion during sleep of people with diabetes changes as a function of the blood glucose levels. The motion will be assessed with a radar sensor, a thermal camera, and wrist worn smartwatches. Additionally, participants will answer a short daily questionnaire. Data will be collected for 10 days and analyzed at the end of the study.
The objectives of SHINE study are to confirm the safety aspects of the SHINE SYSTEM. Moreover, the goal of this clinical investigation is the initial evaluation of sensor's performance by assessing sensor's ability to qualitatively detect the appropriate analytes in subjects with diabetes of 18 years and older.
Hyperglycemia following meals in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a common problem. Recently, our group found that oral consumption of the ketone metabolite, 3-hydroxybutyrate (3-OHB), effectively stimulates insulin secretion and delays gastric emptying.The aim of this study is to investigate the dose/response relationship between 3-OHB servings of 0, 10, 20 and 40 grams 30 minutes before an OGTT and, ii) investigate the role of timing by serving 20 grams of 3-OHB at different timepoints ahead of an OGTT (0, 30 and 60 minutes)
Diabetes is one of the biggest public health challenges of the 21st century because of the costs associated with its management, which are estimated at more than three billion dollars per year in Quebec. This cost has been growing steadily for 20 years now. A person with controlled diabetes mobilizes three times more medical resources than a person without diabetes (Diabetes Quebec, 2009). This amount increases rapidly with the associated complications. Therapeutic carbohydrate restriction (in an omnivorous context) used specifically to control glycemia is being studied more and more, but has never been verified in a vegan context. Some studies show that a vegan diet could be an effective way to help type 2 diabetics (T2DM) to better manage their blood sugar. Thus, it is necessary to question whether these effects can be accentuated in the context of a low or very low carbohydrate diet. Numerous publications have highlighted the role of the gut microbiota in metabolic diseases, including T2DM. Analysis of the microbiome before and after dietary change combined with daily breath testing will tell us more about possible intolerances and the role of the microbiome in T2DM management. Given the novelty of these hypotheses and its absence in the literature, it is relevant to undertake a first pilot project with a smaller number of participants in order to obtain preliminary data that will allow us to define more precisely the research avenues for a subsequent study.
