Filter by:Canagliflozin is an oral drug which is currently approved for use in patients with type 2 diabetes by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Canagliflozin acts by increasing salt and sugar loss in the urine, and has shown to protect heart, kidney, and blood vessel function in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, it is unknown how canagliflozin protects the kidneys from disease. Therefore, this study plans to learn more about how canagliflozin works to protect against diabetic kidney disease in adults with type 2 diabetes. This study will use state-of-the-art kidney imaging, kidney biopsies and detailed testing of kidney function to determine the mechanisms of protection afforded by canagliflozin.
This is a pilot investigator initiated/sponsored clinical trial to evaluate the feasibility of using real-time DexCom G6 continuous glucose monitor (CGM or glucose sensor) trend data and an insulin-dosing algorithm to control the glucose levels of type 2 diabetic patients undergoing hip/knee orthopedic surgery at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital (TJUH). Blinded CGM glucose data will be recorded prior to hospital admission, during hospital admission, and after hospital discharge to evaluate glucose control in this diabetic patient population in relationship to clinical outcomes (20 days of recorded blinded CGM data maximum). Prior studies have associated hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, and glycemic variability with an increased incidence of nosocomial infection, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, cardiac arrhythmias, mental status changes, hospital length of stay, and cost. The 20 type 2 diabetic patients in the Control Group will be managed according to standard-of-care methods at TJUH using finger-stick blood glucose measurements in an attempt to maintain the patient's blood glucose levels in the desired target range (80 to 180 mg/dL). Three blinded CGM will be used to record the patient's glucose trend data for future download to a computer and analysis. The 40 type 2 diabetic patients in the Investigational Group will be managed by the orthopedic floor nurses using the real-time DexCom G6 CGM trend data to determine the appropriate therapy to maintain the patient's glucose levels in the desired target range (80 to 180 mg/dL). In addition, three blinded CGM will be used to record the patient's glucose trend data for future download to a computer and analysis. The primary objective of this pilot study is to observe the blood glucose values and glucose sensor (CGM) values of diabetic patients before, during and after hospitalization for hip and knee arthroplasty surgery to determine whether there is a correlation between glucose control and clinical outcomes. This pilot data will be used to plan a future clinical trial in orthopedic surgery patients using CGM to determine patterns of hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, and glycemic variability that correlate with clinical complications, hospital length of stay, and cost.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of teneligliptin 20 mg orally administered once daily for 24 weeks compared with placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have inadequate glycemic control with empaglyflozin and metformin

People with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes treated with metformin that have not reached their HbA1c target (49-64 mmol/mol) will be recruited to the study. If they fulfill the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria, they will be, after signing informed consent, randomized to a six-month intervention with either pioglitazone, empagliflozin or semaglutide. Fat biopsies are obtained from the subcutaneous abdominal area before and after a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp at baseline and after six months. Participants are regularly followed during this the intervention. The overall goal is to determine how antidiabetic-drugs affect white adipose tissue cellularity and whether adipose heterogeneity impacts on drug response. The primary outcome measure is the change in fat tissue lipolysis (glycerol release in isolated fat cells after hormone stimulation) before and after treatment.
The investigators wishes to investigate the acute effect of a low carbohydrate meal on the plasma fatty acid (FA) composition compared with a control meal in a cross-over study of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). In two trial days 12 participants with T2D will either have a low carbohydrate meal or control meal, measurements will be performed at baseline and continuously over 5 hours.
People with severe mental illness (SMI), defined as psychotic and bipolar disorders, die 17-20 years earlier than the general population, the most common cause of death being cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The major contributor to CVD mortality in SMI is the increased prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared to the general population. T2D is a paradigm of a single condition that progresses to multiple conditions. T2D requires annual reviews of 9 diabetes care processes and for patients to adopt multiple self-care tasks to prevent diabetes complications. The 9 diabetes care processes outlined by the NICE guidelines include: 3-6 monthly blood glucose measurement (HbA1c) with targets; blood pressure measurements and targets; annual blood cholesterol measurement; kidney function testing with urinary albumin; kidney function testing with serum creatinine; weight check; smoking status; diabetes annual eye screening; and annual foot examination. Previous research has focused on upskilling mental health professionals or link workers in diabetes care, however, a primary care led focus to support individuals with T2D and SMI has not been investigated. This is an interventional study in Lambeth south London testing a new model of care for people with SMI and T2D that is led by the community DSN in collaboration with the PN and mental health team within the Hills Brook and Dales Primary Care Network (PCN). StockWELL PCN participants will act as controls. Participants will complete 7 validated questionnaires, a physical examination including a blood test and urine sample and a brief interview either face to face in their GP surgery. The intervention group will be invited to a clinic run by a DSN. Baseline measures will be repeated after 6 months in both groups. An exit interview will be conducted to determine participants thoughts on the intervention. This project has been funded by the Burdett Trust for Nursing.
To evaluate the feasibility of a 6-month multidisciplinary program to reverse type 2 diabetes using the Mediterranean diet, intermittent fasting and exercise.
This trial is a randomized, double-blind, parallel placebo clinical trial, the purpose of which is to investigate whether the adjuvant therapy of using probiotics during the treatment of diabetic patients can decrease blood sugar levels significantly in comparison with placebo, and observe if the reduced lung function could be recovered in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) simultaneously.
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a serious health problem for Pakistan and around the world due to its increasing prevalence and the risk of adverse health outcomes including kidney failure, heart attack, stroke, leg amputation and blindness. These problems reduce the quality of life of individuals with type 2 DM and increase their financial burden, thereby affecting the national economy. Given its huge health and economic impact, preventing type 2 DM progression and reducing the risk of associated complications requires immediate attention. Evidence suggests that self-management can slow the progression of type 2 DM, minimizes the risk of major complications and hence, lowers health-care costs. The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of a patient centered self-management intervention to improve health outcomes in adults with type 2 DM. It is expected that patients receiving this intervention would have improved health outcomes as compared to patients who did not.
