Filter by:In this study participants will be randomized to use a digital lifestyle tool over three years or to a control group without access to the tool. The investigators will prospectively via clinical registries follow the incidence and development of type 2 diabetes over three years in those using the tool regularly and those in the control group.
Type 2 diabetes patients have a high risk of developing NAFLD. This was confirmed during previous research, a high prevalence of NAFLD among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients was found. The investigators want to determine the characteristics of this population.
This study will randomize 90 adults with type-2 diabetes (T2DM) from three different states (RI, MA, and AL) to a 12-week program of either (1) Iyengar yoga or (2) a Standard Exercise program. Follow up assessments occur at 3 and 6-months post-intervention. Results of this study will determine the ability to deliver these interventions with strong rigor and fidelity across multiple sites and will establish the feasibility and acceptability of this intervention across racially and ethnically diverse populations. The study will also examine factors (e.g., outcome expectations, barriers to home practice) that promote long-term adherence to yoga and/or physical activity.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is with 25% the most prevalent liver disorder in Western society and is associated with overweight, obesity, metabolic syndrome (MetS), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and increased risk of cancer development. NAFLD is defined by a hepatic fat accumulation of more than 5% in the absence of classical causes of steatogenesis (e.g. alcohol and steatogenic drugs). It represents a broad spectrum of clinical entities from non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) to advanced liver disease with hepatic failure. Most of the patients have simple steatosis, however in about 15-30% non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) develops, which leads to an overall increase in morbidity and mortality due to the progression to fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Patients with NAFLD have no or few, mainly aspecific symptoms; and generally there is a silent progression of simple steatosis to NASH and in the end liver-related morbidity and mortality. Despite the clinical importance and the potential impact on healthcare resources, there is a striking lack of awareness on all levels of NAFLD. Furthermore, little to know data are available concerning the quality of life of NAFLD patients. Additionally, the majority of NAFLD patients are currently not detected due to the lack of non-invasive methods to diagnose NAFLD. Most of these patients, as a first contact in the healthcare system, will be found in the outpatient clinic of the general practitioner (GP). To date, it is not clear what the burden is of NAFLD and related diseases in at risk subjects in primary care. Therefore, identification of NAFLD patients in this cohort will give information on the prevalence in the group of uncomplicated overweight and obesity and those with concomitant cardiometabolic diseases. By early detecting these patients at risk to develop progressive liver diseases and extrahepatic manifestations, it will be possible to intervene and improve health.
The pharmacological approaches in the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) have advanced radically during the last decades. However, focus on long-term management of body weight, which is an essential part of treatment success, is often lacking. Excluding surgery, there are only a few effective treatment methods for obesity. Management of obesity is also greatly challenged by weight regain, which is common after a successful lifestyle intervention. Weight regain typically results in the deterioration of glucose homeostasis in T2DM. However, understanding the pathomechanisms of weight regain and subsequent worsening of glucose homeostasis is still insufficient. Therefore, T2DM treatment programs that target long-term weight management have been scarce. This study aims to fill the gaps in the current knowledge by advancing the development of treatment programs for T2DM that simultaneously head for improved glucose metabolism and improved long-term body weight control.
The study is prepared to use CMR technology for early screening of myocardial lesions in 561 age-matched women with type 2 diabetes without PCOS, with PCOS without type 2 diabetes and with type 2 diabetes combined with PCOS, compare the differences between the two groups of cardiomyocyte injury changes, and treat and follow-up with type 2 diabetes and PCOS in accordance with the current standard treatment guidelines for type 2 diabetes and PCOS, after 3 years of follow-up we will analyse the changes in cardiomyopathy, cardiac serological indicators, and heart function indicators,which can provide theoretical basis for early clinical intervention in the future.
This study is about testing whether exercise will improve fitness and lessen risk factors related to heart disease, diabetes, and obesity in Latina breast cancer survivors.
This study is a randomized, positive drug parallel-controlled clinical trial in participants with glucose and lipid metabolism disturbances. A total of 96 participants will be recruited for the study, all of whom are diagnosed as type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with dyslipidemia. The subjects will be divided randomly into two groups and treated with either Jiangtang Tiaozhi Recipe or metformin. After 12 weeks of treatment, therapeutic effect of Jiangtang Tiaozhi Recipe will be evaluated based on the changes of HbA1c, fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, blood lipid, waist circumference, body mass index.
High-protein diets have been recently demonstrated to effectively reduce insulin resistance, derangements of the lipid profile and liver fat content in subjects with moderately and severely impaired glucose metabolism and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (LeguAN, LEMBAS, DiNA-P, DiNA-D). The effects can be attributed to prolonged insulin secretion and improved second meal effect, higher energy expenditure by urea synthesis, suppression of glucagon or other mechanisms. Up to now, it is unclear, if proteins with slower or faster digestibility lead to differential results in these study designs. The proposed study will elucidate this question. The Investigators hypothesize, that slowly-digestible proteins induce a prolonged insulin plateau supporting the second-meal effect. The investigators also assume, that these dietary proteins lead to a markedly stronger short-term secretion of glucagon followed by desensitisation of this hormone release. Fast-digestible proteins, on the other hand, will presumably induce a smaller second-meal effect and do not inhibit a second rise of glucagon in a consecutive meal. The investigators intend to study the effects of a 3-weeks high-protein diet in 80 subjects with NAFLD and T2DM on liver fat content (MR spectroscopy) and glucose metabolism. The investigators expect different results for slow protein (casein) and fast protein (whey), thus comparing both protein species. The two major clinical visits before and after the intervention period will include MRI spectroscopy, fasting blood sampling for later analysis, full anthropometric assessment, a mixed meal tolerance test and a set of behavioral tests, investigating decision making processes. In order to characterize the postprandial profiles (e.g. insulin, glucagon, amino acids) of the varying protein sources, preliminary meal tests are performed in overweight subjects with and without T2DM.
This is a pilot clinical trial to test the hypothesis that during sitagliptin (DPP4 inhibitor), individuals heterozygous for DPP4 loss of function variants will have a reduction in DPP4 activity and antigen, lower glucose after a mixed meal, and higher levels of intact DPP4 substrates compared to during placebo and compared to matched controls.
