Filter by:Type II diabetes is a serious challenge for Pakistan. Not using medications properly increases healthcare costs and diabetes-related deaths. A mobile app in local language can improve medication adherence and self-management among diabetics. Therefore, in this 18 months long study researchers will develop a diabetes-related mobile application in Urdu, and will conduct a trial to assess whether it improves medication compliance and self-management, and how much economical this app would be compared to the usual standard of care for type II diabetics in Pakistan. This trial will be conducted at the National Institute of Diabetes and Endocrinology Karachi. The study participants will be divided in two groups. Only one group will use this application. Researchers will measure medication compliance and self-management through diabetes-specific blood test and self-reporting questionnaires between two groups. Researchers will also determine how much economic costs would be saved by using this app to improve medication compliance
The aim of the present clinical trial is to assess how raspberry leaf polyphenols impact on postprandial glucose and insulin levels in healthy individuals consuming sucrose. The questions the project will address: - Do raspberry leaf polyphenols lower sucrose-induced increases in plasma glucose in humans? - Do these polyphenols mediate these effects by inhibiting digestion of sucrose or the absorption of glucose. 20 healthy adults will be recruited between the ages of 18-65 years who are non-smokers and not taking certain types of medication (e.g., drugs from a GP for high blood pressure, high blood fats, inflammatory conditions, and depression) or dietary supplements (e.g., cholesterol-lowering spreads, fish oil, probiotics, prebiotics, and natural laxatives), antibiotics in the last three months or if they used any drugs or supplements that could affect their blood glucose or lipid metabolism. No abnormal results for liver function tests, renal function tests, and lipid profile tests. If they have food allergies or consume more than 14 units of alcohol per week (i.e., to help they calculate a alcohol intake, one standard glass of wine (175 ml) or one pint of regular lager is equivalent to just over two units of alcohol), frequently travel for work or are participating in another intervention study, they will not be able to participate. Women who are pregnant or lactating or planning a pregnancy in the next six months will also not be able to take part, not use herbal medicines for at least the previous three months, not be on a weight loss program six months before screening, not involved in clinical trials six months before the screening, and not having severe cardiac, hepatic, or renal function impairment. Not Sufferers of chronic illnesses, not Individuals with food allergies, not people with coeliac disease. They will be asked to attend a four-study visit after an eight-hour overnight fast. Volunteers will be asked to consume 50 g of carbohydrate powder (sucrose and glucose) with or without 10 g of raspberry leaf tea, which will be dissolved in 300 mL of warm water during four visits (every month). Blood samples will be taken at intervals for a period of two hours after the consumption of raspberry leaf or control. Blood glucose and insulin levels will be tested 15 minutes before, at 15,30,60,90, and 120 minutes after carbohydrate intake.
Sixty elderly diabetics (type II) their age ranged from 60-75 years had been divided into two equal groups; group (A) treated by 40-minute passive stretching exercises, while the group (B) treated by 30 minutes electrical stimulation three times per week for 12 weeks. Blood glucose level,Time up and go test (TUG) and Fatigue severity scale were done before and after 12 weeks of the study.Conclusion: Both electrical stimulation and passive stretching are effective to lowering blood glucose level and can be proposed for those people restricted to perform exercise.
At present, diabetic patients mainly use drugs to control blood sugar. However, drugs have side effects and the control effect varies among individuals. Even if diabetic patients can control their blood sugar well, long-term medication will still cause a series of complications, including retinopathy, nephropathy, diabetic foot, heart disease, etc. Vascular disease issues, etc. This study will focus on the changes in HbA1c and blood sugar in patients with confirmed diabetes after taking "Dibifree®" food supplement.
Developed nations worldwide are currently enduring a health crisis, as chronic diseases continue to decrease quality of life and promote additional disease states or even death for much of the population. Rural populations are at a particular disadvantage, as they lack access to health clubs, wellness programs and similar resources that are more available in urban areas. Although pharmaceutical therapies have continued to show therapeutic advancements, the rates of disease onset and death from chronic disease has not seen similar improvements, and in fact continue to worsen. Excitingly, significant evidence has been published demonstrating an affordable, effective treatment to directly treat and prevent these chronic diseases, but few have demonstrated successful implementation of this therapy, which is improved lifestyle. Specifically, physical activity and healthy body composition are powerful therapeutics that have been demonstrated to effectively combat and prevent chronic diseases. Additionally, improving these lifestyle factors are often more effective than pharmaceutical interventions without the wide range of side effects. Unfortunately, barriers exist on multiple tiers in the practice of family medicine that demote the implementation of lifestyle medicine. To better serve patients at risk of, or suffering from chronic disease, the investigators are seeking to establish a lifestyle medicine prescription program for rural West Virginia. This program will provide patient education on the benefits of physical activity, body composition, and help patients identify strategies to implement healthy lifestyle choices that can be sustainable for the long-term. Patients will be advised on local opportunities to increase physical activity (yoga studio, martial arts, fitness facilities, aquatic center, etc.) and provided access to the facilities they are most likely to adhere to regularly. They will also be provided training on exercise techniques, equipment, and facilities to increase familiarity and comfort in these settings.
A clinical trial to compare and evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of CKD-378
There is a potential link between diabetes mellitus (DM) and severity of osteoarthritis .Type 2 diabetes is a part of the metabolic syndrome (Mets) accompanied by ageing and mechanical stress are also a risk factor to osteoarthritis. Every anatomical component of the joint demonstrated faster joint deterioration and elevated inflammation at microcellular environment of individuals with DM. Normal chondrocytes capacity to adapt to the local glucose level is impaired by OA and there is a significant risk of glucose toxicity and increased glucose absorption. The most dependable and effective treatment for mild to early joint osteoarthritis is exercise. Active free exercises i.e. Buerger Allen exercises are used as a conservative perfusion therapy because they rely on how gravity affects the smooth muscles in the valves. Synovial fluid supports the joint's ability to recover while also reducing inflammation and enhancing overall joint function. The aim of the study is to determine the effect of Buerger Allen exercise and low intensity high repetition exercises on pain, range of motion and disability in knee osteoarthritis with type 2 diabetes. The study would be randomized controlled trial. Total thirty-six subjects will be assigned randomly by using lottery randomization into two groups. Group A will receive conventional therapy and an additional Buerger Allen exercise while Group B will be a control group receiving only baseline treatment. Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), Ankle Brachial Index, KOOS and Goniometer will be used as outcome measure tools for pain, range of motion and disability. Measure will be taken at baseline and at the end of treatment session. The collected data will be analyzed in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 25.0.If data will be normally distributed then parametric if not normally distributed than non-parametric

A multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group phase IV Study evaluating the effects of tirzepatide on atherosclerotic plaque progression assessed by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in participants with a diagnosis of type II Diabetes (T2DM) and atherosclerosis.
Type 2 diabetes patients often do not reach desired control of glycemia despite guidance on changing lifestyle and diet as well as the use of conventional anti-diabetic medication. Parallely in recent years, an array of comparative clinical studies have demonstrated the anti-diabetic effect of more than 10 common spices and food products. Objectives: to evaluate whether proposing a choice of spices and foods products with hypoglycemic effect to diabetic patients can help better control diabetes.
