Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine with the administration of amiloride, observe an enhanced natriuresis, reduction in blood pressure and weight compared to the administration of hydrochlorothiazide in Type 2 Diabetics.
The field of neuroeconomics has begun to elucidate neural mechanisms underlying self-control; however, researchers have not yet harnessed neuroeconomics findings to develop interventions for improving self-control ability. The investigators are currently developing such an intervention. The investigators' approach involves using a brain-computer interface with audiovisual feedback to show people what is happening in their own brains, in real time. Through this interface, individuals are trained to increase levels of neural activity that may facilitate self-control, which, in turn, may improve the ability to exhibit self-controlled behaviors. This may increase the ability to engage in heath behaviors for which self-control is required (eg, dieting and exercising). The investigators' long-term goal is to create a tool that will help people develop the self-control needed to achieve lasting improvements in health behaviors.
The purpose of this study (15-subject prospective case series) is to examine the effects of the Activator Methods technique on decreasing A1c levels in patients with type II Diabetes Mellitus (aka adult-onset diabetes).
The purpose of this study is to determine if using a diabetes management technology system, including a tablet computer, to track diabetes care and communicate with a clinician coach (a doctor or nurse from the Joslin Clinic) makes starting and adjusting insulin easier and safer for people with type 2 diabetes. Hypothesis: The use of a diabetes management technology system with a clinician coach helps more individuals starting basal insulin achieve better glycemic control with less hypoglycemia compared with standard clinical practice at Joslin Diabetes Center.
This study is a three part study to assess the safety and efficacy of LEZ763 on normal healthy volunteers and patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
The purpose of the type II diabetes (T2D) screening study is to improve diabetes care in minority communities by identifying undiagnosed and uncontrolled T2D patients, as well as help patients without a regular primary care physician (PCP) find one within their community. These goals will be achieved first through a glucose measurement. Individuals with a high glucose measurement will be confirmed with a rapid hemoglobin A1c (HgA1c) test. The HgA1c test will tell us about the patients average blood sugar over the past 3 months, which will allow us to immediately diagnose new and uncontrolled type II diabetics. All participants will fill out a survey on healthcare seeking behaviors before glucose testing. All patients who enter the study will receive education on T2D and the value of regularly visiting their PCP, and will be provided a list of PCP currently accepting new patients within a 3 mile radius. Follow-up visits at 4 and 8 months will help us determine the success this community based screening. The investigators hypothesis is that community based screening designed with adequate education and follow-up, and performed by qualified medical professionals will improve diabetes care in minority communities as assessed through hemoglobin A1c levels over 8 months, and in the change in the number patients who visit/obtain their PCP within the study period.
The hypothesis is that richly coloured purple vegetables, rich in polyphenolic compounds including anthocyanins will have higher antioxidant and other biological activities, than more lightly coloured versions of these foods. Diets of human subjects will be modified to allow consumption of 200-300 g of raw carrots or cooked potatoes. Participants will be randomized to consume either orange or purple carrots, or white or purple potatoes. They will consume these diets for 12 weeks and bioavailability of polyphenolics will be examined as well as anthropometry and blood biochemistry for changes in risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease.
This proposed project is designed to collect data and specimens from patients/subjects presenting to the University of Michigan with a disease affecting the pancreas (or specific control populations). This protocol is focused on collecting data, blood samples, and tissue on subjects with pancreatic diseases, including pancreatic cancer, pancreatic cysts, pancreatitis, diabetic controls, jaundice/biliary obstruction controls, and otherwise healthy controls. We are collecting up to 50 mls of blood for research purposes only. Plasma, serum and buffy coat are collected and stored according to strict SOPs.
Using a socioeconomic, race/ethnic, and gender-diverse sample of patients who receive diabetes care from a University of Colorado Hospital (UCH) primary care provider (PCP), carry out a randomized-controlled trial of usual care versus an outreach intervention designed to increase guideline concordance with American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommendations for blood pressure, Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and glycosylated hemoglobin (A1c) goals, referrals for retinal exams, and aspirin therapy.Primary hypotheses: The proportion of patients meeting goal will be 10% higher in the intervention compared with control group in the following domains: 1. LDL<100 mg/dL; 2. A1c<7.0%; and 3. Systolic blood pressure<130 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure<80 mm Hg.
This study will investigate the effects of gastric bypass surgery on type II diabetes. The study will recruit patients with type II diabetes having Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, patients without type II diabetes having Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and control subjects (patients having gastroscopy, but no surgery). Targeted enrollment is 30 patients per group. Samples of intestine are taken prior to surgery in gastroscopy, during surgery, and 6 months after surgery during gastroscopy. Meal test with incretin measurements, and feces and blood samplings are performed before and after surgery Hypotheses are: - The pathogenesis of type II diabetes is linked to changes in the expression of intestinal endocrine cells - The changes in the incretine excretion after the gastric bypass surgery partly explain the amelioration of type II diabetes - The oxidation of lipoprotein is diminished after the gastric bypass surgery slowing the development of atherosclerosis - The immunologic functions of the intestine are changed by the gastric bypass surgery attenuating systemic inflammation - The gastric bypass surgery changes cholesterol and bile acid metabolism - The gastric bypass surgery changes the fecal microbiota Primary end points are: - Changes in the amounts of endocrine cells in ventricle, duodenum and jejunum - Changes in the incretine secretion studied with liquid meal test - Changes in the oxidation of lipoproteins - Changes in the immunologic markers in ventricle, duodenum and jejunum - Changes in the amounts of phytosterols, cholesterol metabolites and bile acids - Changes in fecal microbiota
