Filter by:The aim of this study is to analyze the efficacy of Diabeton 60 MR as intensive sugar-lowering therapy into routine clinical practice, in patients for whom the treating physician has already decided to prescribe this medication. This concerns untreated newly diagnosed patients uncontrolled by diet, and patients uncontrolled by metformin.
The aim of the Stop Diabetes - Knowledge based solutions (StopDia) consortium project (University of Eastern Finland, National Institute for Health and Welfare, and Technical Research Centre of Finland) is to develop and test approaches to identify individuals at increased risk of type 2 diabetes and to empower them in adopting and maintaining a healthy lifestyle by combining individual and environment level strategies into a dual-process approach targeting deliberative and automatic processes of behavior. We also aim to identify barriers and facilitators of adopting a healthy lifestyle in the society, create a model for the prevention of type 2 diabetes by joint actions of health care, third sector, and other societal actors, and develop methods to monitor the cost-effectiveness of these actions. We will carry out a 1-year randomized controlled trial on the effects of among 10 000 individuals aged 18-70 years at increased risk of type 2 diabetes living in Finland. The participants will be randomized into the control group, the digital lifestyle intervention group, or the combined digital and face-to-face lifestyle intervention group. The aim of the interventions is to enhance diet quality, increase physical activity, decrease body weight, and improve glucose tolerance in individuals at increased risk of type 2 diabetes.
The focus of this study is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and impact of a customized, combined positive psychology and motivational interviewing (PP-MI) health behavior intervention versus a motivational interviewing (MI) health education intervention in a group of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Background: The association of trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), a microbiota dependent metabolite from dietary choline and carnitine, with type 2 diabetes was inconsistent. Objective: The investigators planned to investigate the association between plasma TMAO and newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes as well as whether the association could be modified by the TMAO-generating enzyme flavin monooxygenase 3 (FMO3) polymorphisms. Design: This is an age- and sex-matched case-control study of 2694 participants: 1346 newly diagnosed cases of type 2 diabetes and 1348 controls. The patients of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes were consecutively recruited from those attending for the first time the outpatient clinics of Department of Endocrinology, Tongji Medical College Hospital, Wuhan, China, from 2012 January to December 2014. Concomitantly, the investigators recruited healthy individuals who were frequency-matched by age (±5 years) and sex to patients from an unselected population undergoing a routine health check-up in the same hospital. The inclusion criteria for controls and newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes were: age ≥ 30 years, body mass index (BMI) < 40 kg/m2, no history of a diagnosis of diabetes and no history of receiving pharmacological treatment for hyperlipidaemia or hypertension. Patients with clinically significant neurological, endocrinological or other systemic diseases, as well as acute illness or chronic inflammatory or infective diseases, were excluded from the study. All the participants enrolled were of Chinese Han ethnicity. All the participants gave informed written consent to the study and did not take any medication known to affect glucose tolerance or insulin secretion before participation. The study was approved by the ethics committee of the Tongji Medical College. Concentrations of plasma TMAO were measured, and FMO3 E158K polymorphism (rs2266782) were genotyped.
Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) represents a clinically feasible way to restore the gut microbial ecology, and has proven to be a breakthrough for the treatment of recurrent Clostridium difficile infection. Early results in human have shown that FMT from lean donor when transplanted into subjects with metabolic syndrome resulted in a significant improvement in insulin sensitivity and an increased in intestinal microbial diversity, including a distinct increase in butyrate-producing bacterial strains. The therapy is generally well tolerated and appeared safe. No clinical studies have assessed the efficacy of FMT in obese subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
The Microbiome Insulin Sensitivity Study "MISS" is a pilot study designed to study microbiome composition across puberty and how it relates to insulin sensitivity and secretion in obese girls, who are at increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes in puberty. The investigators will evaluate the gut microbiome composition in fecal samples of 57 obese girls in three groups: prepubertal (Tanner 1), early pubertal (Tanner 2-3), and late pubertal (Tanner 4-5). Insulin sensitivity will also be measured via an intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) in 18 prepubertal and late pubertal participants.
Beta-cells release extracellular vesicles (EV) and exosomes under normal and pathophysiologic conditions. These EV contain beta-cell specific autoantigens which may trigger the immune response at the initiation of type 1 diabetes. In this study, beta-cell derived EV will be detected and characterized in human blood samples.
This study investigates cold-induced brown fat activation in winter swimmers and not-winter swimmers by skin temperature measures assessed with infra red thermography imaging and skin temperatures. Winter swimmers and not-winter swimmers will participate in an acute cooling intervention and thermoneutral intervention for comparison of energy expenditure and skin temperatures at the supraclavicular area.
Examination of the molecular phenotype and composition of endocrine cells in the gastrointestinal tract correlated to analyses of blood for hormones/analytes before and after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery in morbidly obese individuals both with and without type 2 diabetes
The overall objective of this study is to construct an adaptive intervention that integrates family members and patients as partners in care while promoting diabetes self-management for Mexican Americans with Type 2 diabetes. The project incorporates four evidence-based, culturally tailored treatments using a Sequential, Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial to help determine what sequence of intervention strategies work most efficiently and for whom.
