Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

This study will be carried out to examine the effect of motivational interviewing applied by video call on diabetes self-efficacy, diabetes self-management and metabolic control parameters (HbA1c%, BMI, fasting glucose, cholesterol, blood pressure, waist circumference) in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

The specific aims of this project are to culturally adapt the DM-BOOST intervention for Latinx patients, usability test 'DM-BOOST para Latinx' to optimize cultural appropriateness and patient engagement and conduct a feasibility evaluation of DM-BOOST para Latinx. These aims will be accomplished via a community-based participatory research approach in collaboration with clinical, community and patient partners. This project will inform subsequent proposals to evaluate implementation of DM-BOOST in the UMass Memorial Health Care system.

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.

Pan-European proof-of-concept study comparing Decentralised Clinical Trial (DCT) and hybrid approaches to conventional clinical trial approaches in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with Toujeo®.

Dietary modification is effective in the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the access to dieticians in primary care is limited. While mHealth tools have been shown to improve diet and clinical management of patients with T2DM, there are currently no mobile health (mHealth) tools that are effective in improving diet and clinical management of T2DM in Sweden. The aim of this project is to study the effect of the FoodSwitch app, an mHealth intervention for patients with T2DM.

This is an open, randomized, controlled trial to determine the impact of an integrative group program on metabolic control and wellbeing perception of patients with T2DM. The integrative group program consists of 6 in-person sessions directed by a health coach and occurring every other week, and 6 asynchronous educative sessions during a period of 12 weeks.

Beside well described peripheral effects, insulin can also affect the human central nervous system. Centrally acting insulin seems to have an influence e.g. on whole-body metabolism and food intake. Targeting insulin receptors in the central nervous system can modulate peripheral insulin sensitivity as well as pancreatic insulin secretion. In humans, the effect of insulin can be measured in different brain areas as estimate of central nervous insulin sensitivity. Reduced central nervous insulin sensitivity, called "central insulin resistance," has been associated, for example, with obesity, unfavorable body fat distribution, and impaired cognitive functionality. Recently novel subtypes and risk clusters of diabetes and prediabetes have been identified. In this study the investigators want to investigate and compare central nervous insulin sensitivity as well as cognitive function in the different diabetes and prediabetes risk clusters.

Diabetes is one of the biggest public health problems of the 21st century. Type 2 diabetes mellitus accounts for more than 90% of all diabetes cases and is the most common type of diabetes. Type 2 diabetes, in which genetic and environmental factors play a role,It is a metabolic disorder in which insulin resistance, decrease in insulin secretion and incretin hormone deficiency are effective in its physiopathology, characterized by polydipsia, polyphagia and polyuria, where the organism cannot adequately benefit from carbohydrates, fats and proteins due to insulin deficiency or defects in the effect of insulin, which requires continuous medical care. Diabetes is a major cause of blindness, end-stage renal disease, coronary artery disease, stroke and inferior extremity amputations. These complications due to diabetes impair the patient's quality of life and impose social, financial and emotional burdens on both the patient and their family. Diabetes education should be provided by healthcare professionals in order to ensure that diabetes patients knowledge and skills to prevent complications and provide better self management and self-care. However, The fact that individuals do not have time to spare for face-to-face health education, the possibility of accessing information in the web environment repeatedly and the lower cost of education in the web environment compared to classical education increases the importance of web-based health education. The widespread use of mobile technologies in recent years has led to the development of new mobile applications related to diabetes. The disquisition proposal the investigators prepared was created to investigate the effect of mobile application supported diabetes and nutrition education on type 2 diabetes self-management and blood sugar in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients. In this context, with the development of a mobile application prepared in visual, text and video format to provide diabetes education, the monitoring of blood parameters before and after diabetes education, and the implementation of the Type 2 Diabetes Self-Management Scale, (which consists of 19 items developed in 2020), and type 2 diabetes self-management and the effect on blood sugar will be examined. This study will provide answers to questions about the effectiveness of diabetes education given to Type 2 Diabetes patients via mobile applications on diabetes self-management and blood parameters.

Canada is the only country with a universal health insurance system that does not provide coverage for prescription drugs to all residents. One-third of working-age Canadians have no insurance. Importantly, many of these uninsured patients already face other barriers to good health: low income, new immigrants, single mothers, etc. For these patients, taking prescription drugs - especially chronic disease treatments that may be required lifelong - can be difficult due to high costs. Patients skip doses, delay renewing prescriptions, or simply do not fill prescriptions recommended by their doctors, because they do not have insurance to cover the costs of prescriptions. Previous research by the study team has suggested that the lack of a universal drug insurance program for working-age Canadians affects the health and well-being of low-income people with diabetes. The goal of this research is to determine the clinical and economic impact of providing drug coverage for uninsured type 2 diabetics.

The goal of this interventional study is to compare improved outcomes among diabetes and/or hypertensive patients sequel to educational intervention. The study aims to answer the following questions: What are the patients' levels of health literacy, medication adherence, disease knowledge, attitude to disease, physical activity? Does educational intervention by pharmacists improve health outcomes of patients with diabetes and/or hypertension? Are there associations between patient-related variables such as health literacy, medication adherence, disease knowledge, attitude to disease? Participants' anthropometric measurements and point-of-care testing for disease monitoring e.g., blood pressure, blood glucose would be carried out. Baseline assessment of participants would be done to evaluate their levels of health literacy, medication adherence, disease knowledge, attitude to disease, physical activity. Patients' baseline assessment would be carried out, after which they would receive educational materials and would be followed up by pharmacist. The baseline assessments would be repeated at three and six months after the intervention to measure the effectiveness of the intervention.
