Filter by:In India, the high diabetes prevalence and cost of its management relative to their personal income render the country an appropriate environment to seek and test new, less expensive aids to care. Education and motivation to induce behavioural modification, are important components of care. Conventional diabetes education programmes involving personal contact methods are useful but expensive. Compliance with medications is also important and there are data to suggest that compliance is low in people with established type 2 diabetes (there is little information on those with recently diagnosed disease). Mobile phones could provide an inexpensive and scaleable delivery vehicle for components of care. There are now more than 5 billion wireless subscribers and 70% of them live in low and middle income countries. Mobile phone ownership is high in India and an increasing proportion now has Mobile phones and/or home computers. The investigators plan a clinical trial in India to assess whether there is benefit from an enhanced text message intervention delivered by mobile phone in people newly diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. The message content will be directed to behavioural modification, as with our diabetes prevention studies, and will attempt to improve compliance with drug therapy and other aspects of care, as with our studies in people with established diabetes. The investigators shall compare effects on glycaemia, other cardiovascular risk factors, lifestyle behaviour and quality of life, with those observed in people with type 2 diabetes receiving standard care.
The purpose of this study is to understand how dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP4) inhibition in diabetics affects hemodynamic parameters and sympathetic activation in the setting of increasing concentrations of neuropeptide Y, an endogenous peptide. The central hypothesis is that DPP4 inhibition decreases degradation of neuropeptide Y, resulting in increased vasoconstriction and sympathetic activation.
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease that affects approximately 13% of Portuguese population and is associated with a high cardiovascular mortality by coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular disease and with a serious decline on well-being. Lifestyle changes are widely recommended to the control of type 2 diabetes and its complications. This study aims to analyse the effects of different community-based lifestyle programs (exercise or exercise plus dietary intervention) on health and well-being in patients with type 2 diabetes.
This is a study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the addition of ertugliflozin to metformin monotherapy in Asian participants with Type 2 diabetes mellitis (T2DM) who have inadequate glycemic control on metformin monotherapy. The primary hypothesis is that the mean reduction from baseline in HbA1C for 15 mg and 5 mg ertugliflozin (tested sequentially) is greater than for placebo.
This study investigates the potential protective effects of fatty acid supplementation through inhibition of platelet activation. fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6) will be evaluated for protection from agonist-mediated platelet activation in platelets from type 2 diabetics and healthy controls. Post-menopausal women with type 2 diabetes mellitus and healthy post-menopausal women will be treated with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid supplements to determine protection from platelet activation and thrombosis in this high risk population.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has become the epidemic of the XXI century. This chronic disease is also highly prevalent and primarily associated with an increased cardiovascular mortality and morbidity due to micro and macrovascular complications, where its pathophysiological mechanism accelerates the formation of the atherosclerotic process, fundamental element associated with arterial stiffness. The importance of anticipating the presence of a cardiovascular event lies precisely in the early detection of subclinical changes in the elastic arteries identified by measuring the pulse wave velocity. Having adequate pharmacological or non-pharmacological interventions that impact precisely in the reduction of pulse wave velocity contributes to a reduction of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality associated with DM2. Among non-pharmacological therapies they have been studied the benefits attributed to the use of green tea infusion either encapsulated or extract have been associated mainly with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. There are both experimental and clinical studies that have shown benefits of administration of green tea (extract or infusion), and administered by different routes at different dosages and for varying times. But it has been noted that not all studies with green tea meet appropriate to draw conclusions about its benefits to cardiovascular level. However, it is proposed that the use of green tea extract with a highest amount of catechins through a controlled clinical trial could be a potential therapeutic strategy for changing hemodynamic alterations and arterial stiffness favorably in this particular group of patients DM2.
This study evaluates the long-term benefits of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) on type 2 diabetes mellitus, focussing on the prevalence and predictors of T2DM improvement and remission after RYGB, and subsequently relapse of type 2 diabetes mellitus after RYGB. Moreover, the study evaluates the possible effect of RYGB on diabetic microvascular complications such as nephropathy and retinopathy. Finally, the study provides insight into the factors influencing glucose-insulin homeostasis after RYGB, including altered microbiota diversity and bile acid levels.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether in patients with early type 2 diabetes,a short-term intensive metabolic intervention comprising of sitagliptin, metformin, basal insulin glargine and lifestyle approaches will be superior to standard diabetes therapy in achieving sustained diabetes remission.
This extension study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Canagliflozin (TA-7284) in combination with Insulin in patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The extension study was an extension to double-blind study of 16 weeks (TA-7284-11)
To compare the short and long term effects of inhibitor of the DPP-IV enzyme, sitagliptin , with bedtime NPH insulin in patients with T2D inadequately controlled with sulphonylurea plus biguanide: effects on beta cell function and on metabolic profile.
