Filter by:It is estimated that there will be 439-552 million people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) globally in 2030. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is present in one quarter of patients at the bariatric outpatient clinic. It is undecided which metabolic surgery grants best results in the remission of T2DM and which procedure does that at the lowest rate of surgical complications, long term difficulties and side effects. Non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is present in 80% of all morbidly obese subjects and is a major risk factor for development of insulin resistance and non alcoholic steatohepatis (NASH). It is increasingly recognized that the immune system, possibly driven by innate lymphoid cells (ILC's), and the intestinal microbiome are major players in this obesity related disease and the switch from benign to malign (insulin resistance and T2DM) obesity. However, the exact mechanisms of action behind the surgery-driven switch back from malign to benign obesity are unknown.Primary objective is to evaluate and compare the glycaemic control in T2DM within the first year of LRYGB and LMBG. Secondary aim is to gain insight in the pathophysiological mechanisms that drive the conversion of malign to benign obesity.
The molecular nature of insulin resistance in human muscle is still incompletely defined. Our data indicate that acetylation of mitochondrial proteins in humans is regulated by muscle contraction and is dysregulated in insulin resistance. Poor function of mitochondria in skeletal muscle is a hallmark of insulin resistance in skeletal muscle. We propose to use a combination of clinical research and mass spectrometry techniques to determine how the cytosolic and mitochondrial protein acetylation is regulated by muscle contraction in insulin sensitive and resistant human volunteers. We will test the hypothesis that mitochondrial protein acetylation is decreased to a greater degree following a bout of exercise in insulin sensitive than in insulin resistant human muscle. Using these techniques we also propose to determine how acetylation of mitochondrial adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT1) at lysines 10, 23, and 92 regulates ANT1 structure and function. Finally, we propose 4) to use a combination of molecular modeling and in vitro assays together with the approach developed in Aim 3 to characterize the role of acetylation in other mitochondrial proteins. Protein targets for this aim will be prioritized based on the potential role of the protein in insulin resistance or mitochondrial function as well as dysregulation of its acetylation state in insulin resistant muscle.
In china, there are the most population of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) among the world and DM becomes currently the second cause for end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Nearly 50% of insulin-treated PD patients in clinical practice are treated with premixed insulin. Glycemic control in them is very difficult to be achieved mainly due to the uremic status of these patients and glucose exposure from peritoneal dialysate, a higher glycemic variability and higher risk of hypoglycemia. Linagliptin, unlike other DPP-4 inhibitors, has a primarily non-renal elimination route, and does not require dose adjustment for any level of impaired renal function. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of linagliptin on glucose variability and glycemic control in peritoneal dialysis patients with type 2 diabetes who are inadequately controlled with premixed insulin therapy. This will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the effect of linagliptin on glucose variability and glycemic control in peritoneal dialysis patients with type 2 diabetes who are inadequately controlled with premixed insulin therapy.which will be conducted in 8 diabetes centres and/or nephropathy departments in China. After a 4-week run- in period, 232 participants are randomized (1:1) to either premixed insulin combined with linagliptin (5mg/d) group (also named combined group) or premixed insulin alone group (also named insulin group) for 12 weeks. Finally, the primary endpoint is glucose variability indicated by MAGE, secondary endpoints include HbA1c, FPG, PPG, LAGE, SDBG, PT10.0, PT3.9, 1h fasting MBG, 3h postprandial MBG, insulin dosage, hypoglycemia and body weight.
There has been a rise in type 2 diabetes (T2D) rates in adolescents, disproportionately in girls from disadvantaged racial/ethnic groups. This group of girls also is at heightened risk for depression, and depression and T2D are linked. Depressive symptoms are a risk factor for worsening of insulin sensitivity, one if the major precursors to T2D. In preliminary studies, the investigators found that a brief cognitive-behavioral therapy group decreased depressive symptoms and prevented worsening of insulin sensitivity in adolescent girls at-risk for T2D with moderate depressive symptoms. The aims of this study are: 1) to assess the efficacy of a cognitive-behavioral therapy depression group vs. a health education control group for improving insulin sensitivity and preserving insulin secretion in racially/ethnically diverse adolescent girls at-risk for T2D with moderate depressive symptoms over a 1-year follow-up; 2) to evaluate changes in eating, physical activity, and sleep as explanatory and 3) to test changes in cortisol factors as explanatory.
Introduction and objective: The key to optimal diabetes management is tight glucose control. Hemoglobin A1c is the gold standard to assess glycemic control but in cases of unrecognized hypoglycemia, confusing nighttime events or in cases of large variations in blood glucose, a haemoglobin A1c can not detect specific movement of blood glucose. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) provides informations of glucose levels in a real-time format and may be helpful for making the personalized therapy decisions desired in the era of precision medicine. Our aim is to analyse the benefit of tracking patterns of glucose values by using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in patients with T2DM in family medicine office.
Hyperglycemia during admission is associated with increased rate of complications and longer hospital stays, thus insulin treatment is recommended for all diabetes patients with hyperglycemia. Inpatient studies of non-critically ill patients show better glycemic control with the use of basal-bolus insulin therapy compared to sliding scale insulin therapy, but increased rates of hypoglycemia. The investigators hypothesize that basal-bolus insulin therapy with a new ultra-long-action basal insulin can treat hyperglycemia more efficiently than sliding scale insulin, with few episodes of hypoglycemia.
Microbiota is important for immunology, hormonal and metabolic homeostasis in human and could influence on developing diabetes and obesity. Recent studies investigates microbiota by metagenomic sequencing, however, the composite of microbiota and its metabolic role has not been fully determined. Metagenomics and microbiome analysis could early diagnose metabolic disorders and suggest treatment options for metabolic diseases. In this study, the investigators investigate the composite of microbiota and deduct basic information for treatment models using metagenomic sequencing.
Short-term intensive insulin therapy (SIIT) induces glycemic remission in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. But remission rate reduces over time. This study aims to investigate whether sequential treatments using fixed dose combination of pioglitazone/metformin (15mg/500mg) after SIIT can improve clinical outcomes inpatients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. We plan to include 50 patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes who are drug naïve and meet the inclusive criteria will be enrolled. After baseline assessments, SIIT will be applied to all patients using insulin pump to achieve and maintain euglycemia for 2 weeks. After completion of intensive treatment, insulin pump will be stopped. Patients were randomly assigned into either of the following two groups: PIO/MET group: pioglitazone/metformin (15mg/500mg) will be orally administrated twice daily to the subjects for 12 weeks; placebo group: placebo is given twice daily to all subjects for 12 weeks. Afterwards, patients will be followed up for 48 weeks. Primary endpoint is difference in remission rate at the end of study. Secondary endpoints include proportion of patients who achieve glycosylated hemoglobin A1C <7% at the end of study; differences in β-cell function , insulin sensitivity and incidence of adverse events among treatment groups.
This study will evaluate the impact on blood glucose of the use of an oral appliance to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in individuals with Type 2 diabetes. An oral appliance is similar to a sports mouth guard or an orthodontic retainer and is an alternative treatment to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for OSA. Oral appliance therapy has not been evaluated in patients with Type 2 diabetes with respect to glycemic outcomes. This will be a 1:1 randomized controlled trial: The experimental group will receive the oral appliance and the control group will receive a sham device over the course of approximately 5 months.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the comparative efficacy of insulin pump therapy versus multiple daily injections in insulin-taking type 2 diabetes mellitus who are sub-optimally controlled with premixed insulin regimen. This research is necessary because many patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus do not meet their glucose targets. In advanced Type 2 diabetes mellitus, many patients develop worsening diabetes control and unable to reach the glucose targets despite intensive insulin regimens.This is further complicated by the risks of low blood sugar and weight gain. These limitations of multiple daily injection treatment show the need for new treatments for this group of patients.
