Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

Therapeutic Confirmatory Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of DWP16001 in Combination with Metformin in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus who Have Inadequate Glycemic Control on Metformin Alone.

The majority of people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are overweight, and while weight gain is a major contributor to diabetes, a minority of patients with T2D are not overweight or obese. The reasons why lean or normal body weight individuals develop T2D (lean-T2D) are not yet understood. T2D occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin, or becomes less sensitive to its effects. Insulin acts like a key to allow sugar into cells and if someone is overweight that key works less well. Recent research suggests that T2D in lean people should be considered a different disease from the diabetes associated with obesity and the main problem in lean-T2D patients may be a reduced capacity of insulin secretion. However, some researchers argue that many seemingly thin people carry more fat than muscle, making them trim on the outside, but fat on the inside, and they are in fact not truly lean. This implies that just like overweight diabetics, lean diabetics also have high resistance to insulin. The main aim of this research is to better understand the main driver of T2D in lean individuals, as this will determine how best to treat these individuals. There are many different types of drugs for treating T2D. Liraglutide improves insulin secretion capacity of the pancreas. Pioglitazone reduces resistance to insulin action. The investigators will compare the actions of these diabetes drugs on the blood supply and the heart's energy levels in lean-T2D and obese-T2D patients. This will allow the investigators to determine the ideal treatment strategies for improving cardiovascular health in lean-T2D patients, and better understand the role of impaired insulin secretory capacity, insulin resistance and excess fat deposition specifically in this group.

Purpose. To evaluate the impact of pharmaceutical education in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Systemic Arterial Hypertension on their medication adherence. Material and research methods. Randomized clinical trial with a control group with a duration of 6 months of follow-up. Patients with a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus andWE Systemic Arterial Hypertension treated in the internal medicine outpatient of a school hospital will be included. Adherence to medication will be evaluated using Morisky's 8-item medication adherence scale. The investigators believe that Pharmaceutical education increases therapeutic adherence in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Systemic Arterial Hypertension.

Ketone bodies are a fuel source and signaling molecule that are produced by the body during prolonged fasting or if an individuals consistently eats a low-carbohydrate "keto" diet. Blood ketones can be used as a source of energy by the body, but they may also act as signals that impact the functioning of different cells in the body. Recently, the availability of ketone supplements that can be taken orally allows for raising blood ketones without having to fast or eat a "keto" diet. The investigators' studies and those of other researchers have shown that ketone supplementation can lower blood sugar without having to make any other dietary changes. Oral ingestion of ketones may therefore be an effective strategy to improve blood sugar control and influence how cells function. The main objective of this study is to determine if consuming a ketone supplement 3 times per day (before meals) for 14 days lowers blood sugar and impacts how the body's cells function. The results of this study will be used to guide future recommendations on the utility of ketone supplements for improving health in individuals with, or at elevated risk of, type 2 diabetes.

The aim of this study is to screen patients with type 2 diabetes with high risk of cardiovascular disease, and intervene with or without Glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonists.

Limited data exist about the use of insulin degludec and insulin glargine U300 in the hospitalized patients. A previous study compared the safety and efficacy of insulin degludec versus insulin glargine U100 for the management of hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes. However, there is no data comparing the efficacy and safety of insulin degludec versus insulin glargine U300 for the management of hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes. Accordingly, the proposed study will provide a clinically useful information on the efficacy (blood glucose control) and safety (hypoglycemia) of insulin degludec versus insulin glargine U300 for the management of hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes.

The aim of this study is to compare the effect of tropicamide 0.5% and tropicamide 1% on intraocular pressure and anterior chamber parameters in patients with Diabetes Mellitus.

The overall aim of this study is to investigate the long-term impact of a customized diet aimed at reducing liver fat specifically and a healthy Nordic diet on ectopic fat (liver, pancreatic and visceral) and cardiometabolic risk in individuals with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes (T2D).

The treatment with pioglitazone added to the standard treatment of patients with DM2 hospitalized for COVID-19 may produce a decrease in the number of patients who progress to a second phase of severe systemic inflammation.

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of the study drug tirzepatide to insulin lispro (U100) three times a day in participants with type 2 diabetes that are already on insulin glargine (U100), with or without metformin.
