Filter by:The goal of this research study is to evaluate the pathophysiologic mechanisms by which genetic variation impacts response to an FDA-approved medication commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes called oral semaglutide (Rybelsus) and to characterize the physiological response to a mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT) before and after a 14-day treatment with oral semaglutide. The investigators will do this by measuring factors in the blood, such as sugars, fats, metabolites, and proteins, after eating a standardized breakfast meal at the first visit and after taking 14 doses of oral semaglutide over two weeks before the second study visit. The food (mixed meal breakfast) we will be studying is specially prepared to contain a set amount of protein, carbohydrates, and fat. The investigators hypothesize that understanding how the acute biochemical response to oral semaglutide differs by genetic variation will generate insight into drug mechanisms and type 2 diabetes pathophysiology.
The study will collect a cross-sectional dataset of 4000 people across the US from diverse racial/ethnic groups who are either 1) healthy, or 2) belong in one of the three stages of diabetes severity (pre-diabetes/diet controlled, oral medication and/or non-insulin-injectable medication controlled, or insulin dependent), forming a total of four groups of patients. Clinical data (social determinants of health surveys, continuous glucose monitoring data, biomarkers, genetic data, retinal imaging, cognitive testing, etc.) will be collected. The purpose of this project is data generation to allow future creation of artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) algorithms aimed at defining disease trajectories and underlying genetic links in different racial/ethnic cohorts. A smaller subgroup of participants will be invited to come for a follow-up visit in year 4 of the project (longitudinal arm of the study). Data will be placed in an open-source repository and samples will be sent to the study sample repository and used for future research.
This study aims to develop, implement, and determines the effectiveness of a personalized medicine approach to each individual's phenotype, based on an innovative physical exercise program to promote the treatment of pain and functional limitation resulting from knee osteoarthritis (KOA) in patients recovering after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and cardiovascular risk (CVR). This randomized clinical study is important due to the lack of evidence according to the effectiveness of a personalized physical exercise intervention in people after MI or CVR with simultaneous KOA. Some studies have shown the existence of a relationship between OA and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including coronary artery disease, stroke, congestive heart failure, peripheral arterial disease, cardiac procedures, or death related to CVD, since individuals with OA have a higher prevalence of CVD than individuals without OA. Sedentary behaviour is a risk factor for AMI, CVR and KOA, and, at the same time, physical exercise is a common non-pharmacological treatment for people suffering from these conditions, namely in the control of joint pain, gains in functional capacity, and the improvement of cardiorespiratory functional capacity, whose impact can be felt in level of quality of life. Chronic diseases have a significant impact on the global burden of disease, particularly CVD and OA, with the added presence of obesity also contributing to a high rate of all-cause morbidity and mortality, representing a substantial health burden and with growing implications for individuals, health systems and socioeconomic costs. The presence of OA seems to lead to an increased risk of developing CVD. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain this relationship. Chronic inflammation associated with OA is one of the hypotheses suggested to explain the increased risk of CVD in these individuals. Furthermore, the pain and disability associated with OA may also limit participation in exercise/physical activity, influencing other risk factors associated with both chronic diseases, such as weight gain. The lack of studies about physical exercise intervention on people that suffered acute myocardial infarction or is in cardiovascular risk with simultaneous knee osteoarthritis and the lack of offer of phase III cardiac rehabilitation in Algarve motivated the development of this study, with the assumption of adopting a healthier lifestyle.
This study explores the efficacy of domestic adlay in improving blood sugar and lipids metabolism, cardiovascular function, and weight control in people with high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia. Through two weeks of cooked adlay-rice and white rice by a randomized cross-over design to evaluate the lipid- and glucose-lowering effects of adlay on patient with hyperlipidemia and/or hyperglycemia.
The purpose of the qualitative research is to provide a deeper understanding of the perspectives of people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who received a nutrition-focused approach (NFA) when initiating continuous glucose monitor (CGM).
Co-ingesting protein with carbohydrate is an effective way to improve postprandial glucose handling. The investigators have isolated and identified a bioactive protein extracted from seaweed. The investigators aim to explore how varying doses of seaweed protein influence postprandial glycaemia and insulinaemia in a population with type 2 diabetes.
The investigators will conduct an acceptability, feasibility, preliminary effectiveness trial of a 4-month, online, very low-carbohydrate breakfast-focused program in 120 adults with type 2 diabetes. The investigators will measure acceptability and feasibility, plus critical efficacy outcomes, such as changes in HbA1c, anti-hyperglycemic medications, glycemic variability, body weight, blood pressure, and lipids.
The goal of this observational study is to compare usual care to a community-based primary care program (having components of treatment decisions based on clinical guidelines, self-management education, community health workers, and free health care visits and medications) in low-income Peruvians with type 2 diabetes and/or hypertension. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Compared to pre-program usual care, does the program result in greater benefits, measured as greater proportions of patients with glucose and blood pressure control or maximal quantities and doses of medications? - Are there greater benefits when the program was provided at home compared to when the program was provided in a clinic? - Does longer participation in the program result in greater benefits? Participants will participate in: - Self-management education provided by community health workers. - Monitoring of healthy behaviors and glucose, blood pressure, and weight. - Receipt of free medications for blood pressure, glucose, and heart disease prevention.
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by the inability of the body to maintain normoglycemia. Treatment of diabetes relies mostly on diabetes self-management, requiring a large investment of time and energy on a daily basis. Psychological wellbeing, behavioral patterns and social context play a major role in diabetes self-management and glycemic control. Social isolation behavior (self-quarantining) may impact glycemic control by influencing daily routines, therapy adherence, physical activity, and self-measurement and eating behaviors. Therefore, a period of nationwide self-quarantine, such as during the lockdown issued during the COVID-19 outbreak in the Netherlands, may have a large effect on glycemic control in patients with diabetes. In this observational cross sectional study, we aim to assess the impact of long-term self-quarantine on glycemic control, diabetes self-management and distress in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. A specific subgroup of patients with T1D are those with complicated diabetes who have received a pancreas or islet transplantation and use immunosuppression, having multiple risk factors for severe COVID-19. The impact of lockdown strategies on mental and physical health is expectedly even greater in patients at even higher risk for severe COVID-19. We therefore additionally investigated differences in behavioral, mental and physical implications of a nationwide lockdown on patients with type 1 diabetes with and without islet or pancreas transplantation. Measurements will be performed during the lockdown period. Patients will be asked to perform a fingerprick HbA1c measurement once, sent back to the LUMC by mail. Data from continuous or flash glucose monitoring devices will be collected according to standard clinical practice. Furthermore, patients will be asked to fill out an online questionnaire once on diabetes self-management behavior, well-being and distress, along with questions about health status, level of education, medication use, employment, social situation and the impact of self-quarantine on daily routines. In this questionnaire, we ask patients to compare certain aspects of their life (e.g. anxiety, stress, weight, physical activity, glycemic control) at the time of the lockdown to before the lockdown. Data on demographics, type of diabetes, weight, BMI and HbA1c prior to the COVID-19 outbreak will be derived from the patient's electronic health file.
The main purpose of this study is to determine safety and efficacy of orforglipron compared with placebo in adult participants with type 2 diabetes and inadequate glycemic control with diet and exercise alone. The study will last approximately 54 weeks.
