Filter by:Weight control is an essential part of treatment for type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. Weight loss is associated with decreased haemoglobin A1c (A1c) levels. In particular, visceral fat is accompanied by more alterations in glucose and lipid metabolism. Quantification of visceral fat with bioimpedance (BIA) is closely related to measurement with computed axial tomography. Different available oral antidiabetics cause weight loss and total body fat (biguanides, DPP-4 inhibitors and SGLT-2 inhibitors), but it has only been shown that SLGT2 inhibitors decrease visceral fat. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine whether there is a difference in the amount of visceral fat measured with BIA in T2D patients between three oral antidiabetic regimens after twelve weeks of treatment, to compare the effect on visceral fat between metformin, DPP4 inhibitors and SGLT2 inhibitors.
The "Bialystok Exercise Study in Diabetes" (BESD), is an exercise intervention study, conducted by the Department of Endocrinology, Diabetology and Internal Medicine and Clinical Research Centre of the Medical University of Bialystok. In the project, sedentary males at different stages of dysglycemia living in the city of Bialystok participate in three months of an exercise intervention consisting of supervised training sessions at a local fitness centre. The aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness of the exercise intervention in patients at different stages of dysglycemia progression, including type 2 diabetes and prediabetes and compare the response between groups.
Dietary intake is a major driving force behind the escalating obesity and type 2 diabetes epidemics. Large, high-quality clinical trials have shown that close adherence to healthy dietary recommendations significantly reduce the incidence of obesity and type 2 diabetes, especially among people at increased risk. However, large inter-individual variability exists in response to dietary interventions. To inform more effective obesity and type 2 diabetes prevention strategies, it is crucial to better understand the biological, environmental, and social factors that influence how people interact and respond to specific foods. In a recent large-scale genome-wide association study, our research team has identified 96 genomic regions associated with overall variation in dietary intake. This study provided evidence that inherited molecular differences are likely to impact on food intake (i.e., preference for certain foods) and metabolic homeostasis (i.e., glucose regulation). Connecting knowledge about human genetic variants with information from circulating metabolites can be particularly useful in understanding the mechanisms by which some people experience a detrimental response to specific foods. The specific objective of the PREMIER study is to carry out an interventional dietary study to measure the response of blood glucose and other biomarkers to a standardized meal, and evaluate the extent to which food choices differ among individuals with distinct genetic susceptibility.
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is characterized by a metabolic shift from fat to carbohydrates and failure to increase myocardial glucose uptake in response to workload increments. The investigators aimed at verifying whether this pattern is influenced by the presence of abnormal glucose tolerance (AGT).
Objectives:Physicians from the Shanghai Jiading community clinic were invited to attend the study seminar. Those physicians who meet the criteria of the study plan were being selected to participate voluntarily. From their patient's record, the physicians will recruit a total of 1300 patients with type 2 diabetes who meet the criteria of the Jiading Study. The study utilizes the social learning theory that motivation and social support are important to make behavioral change. The mechanism of providing incentive for patients and physicians will be established after the permission from the Internal Review Board of the hospital and will be approved by the hospital director. Physicians and their patients were randomly divided into 4 groups: Group 1- Physicians only; Group 2 - Patients only; Group 3 - Both Physicians and Patients, Group 4 - control. Groups 1-3 will receive incentives if they can maintain the ideal level of Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) during the 3-years study period. The forth group serves as a control and will not receive any incentive but will be provided diabetes education booklet and group education courses for DM control as usual. Based on the annual evaluation of the level of improvement on HbA1c that is a joint effort of both patients and physicians to achieve the targeted goal of adequate HBA1c level, the value of incentives will be increased accordingly. Our ultimate goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of incentive as an intervention tool to improve the health status of the diabetic patients.
The prevalence of Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is rising rapidly worldwide. In Denmark approximately 8% of adults have T2D and more than 25.000 are diagnosed each year. This has vast consequences for society and the patient. Standardized treatment aiming at normalizing blood glucose and hypertension comparable to healthy individuals, have been tested in large studies. The effect on cardiovascular disease and other complications have been modest at best and one study showed an increased mortality with intensive treatment. The standardized treatment often results in polypharmacy, which increases the risk of patients discontinuing treatment. We propose a new approach to treatment of T2D, where the patients' individual characteristics are considered. The aetiology of the diabetes can be different, which warrants different treatment. Many patients have concomitant illness which can affect the way the patient is treated. A tight regulation of blood glucose can in some patient constitute a risk of adverse effects, especially hypoglycemia. In that sense individual targets for the treatment are important. Effective lifestyle treatment has importance for a successful outcome and we therefore offer an application that can help the patient and the physician organizing activity individually. The objective of individual treatment is to choose the most effective medication. If a prescribed drug does not have the desired effect it should be replaced with a different drug. The overall goal is to reduce the number of substances and side-effects, but simultaneous improve treatment and reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and other diabetes-related complications. This will in turn result in improved quality of life and improved adherence to treatment. The potential effect of individual tailored treatment of T2D is to improve the guidelines of treatment, not only to improve the patients' health, but also to reduce the socioeconomic consequences of the growing T2D prevalence
The aim of this study is the comparision between the effects of vitamin D or placebo supplementation for 2 months in serum level of thioredoxin, TBP-2 and thioredoxin reductase activity in patients with type 2 diabetes
A computerized registry of diabetes patients in a large health maintenance organization in Israel. The registry is aimed to be used by health professionals to identify diabetes patients and to follow the courses of their illnesses and risk factors.
The objective of the current study is to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of BI 10773 (10 mg, 25 mg / once daily) compared to placebo given for 24 weeks as add-on therapy to metformin or metformin plus sulfonylurea in patients with T2DM with insufficient glycaemic control. Open-label arm: to estimate efficacy and safety of 25 mg BI 10773 in very poorly controlled patients (HbA1c > 10%)
Objective: Recruit 3 cohorts with 1000-1200 subjects each: people with normal glucose metabolism, impaired glucose regulation (IGR), and with Type 2 diabetes. To study the risk factors in development of type 2 diabetes.
