Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to examine the effect of NNC 90-1170 on the hypoglycaemic counterregulation in subjects with type 2 diabetes.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between HbA1c and iron status in Type 2 Diabetes mellitus patients with iron deficiency by intravenous substitution of iron.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multi-center study to determine the effect of ranolazine when added to glimepiride on glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who are inadequately controlled despite current treatment with stable sulfonylurea or metformin therapy in addition to diet and exercise.

Aims: To evaluate the efficacy of rosiglitazone (TZD) and electroacupuncture (EA) combined therapy on patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A randomized single-blind placebo controlled clinical trial was used. Methods: A total of 31 newly diagnostic type 2 diabetic patients, who fulfilled the eligibility criteria were recruited and received various allocated interventions. They were randomly assigned into two groups, the control group (TZD, N=15) and the experimental group (TZD + EA, N=16). Changes in their plasma free fatty acid (FFA), glucose and insulin levels together with their homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) indices were statistically assessed between before and after treatment. Hypoglycemic activity (%) was also compared between these two groups. Expecting Results: This study will compare the hypoglycemic activity and the ability of improving insulin resistance between the TZD and TZD+EA group. Also, the lowering effect of the plasma FFA concentration will be investigated.

This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The aim of the trial is to confirm the efficacy of IDeg (insulin degludec) versus IGlar (insulin glargine) in controlling glycaemia. Subjects are to continue their pre-trial metformin treatment.

The present study was undertaken to assess the efficacy and safety of two different insulin sensitizers (namely Pioglitazone and Metformin) among subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Bangladesh. A prospective, double-blind, single group, 'within-subject' designed clinical trial of 77 diagnosed T2DM patients out of 130 patients with glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) ≥7.2±1.5%, aged 46±6.4 years and registered for diabetes treatment in Bangladesh Institute of Research and Rehabilitation in Diabetes Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders (BIRDEM) was carried out. The study was conducted between November 2008 and September 2010. Baseline data, included case history of the patients,anthropometric measurement, biomedical parameters psychosocial factors, were collected from each subject and then enrolled to receive treatment with 001 drug once daily for three months, then the patients were left for wash out with metformin 850mg once daily for one month; then they received 002 drug once daily for further three months. Dietary chart was remained as before. DNA was isolated by Chelex method using the primers and control DNA,restriction Digestion Enzyme Endonuclease Hae 111 for genotyping PPARγ-(Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor gamma)Pro12Pro (Proline12Proline)/Pro12Ala-(Proline12 Alanine))/Ala12Ala-(Alanine12Alanine). The blinded drugs were decoded after analyzing results, 001 tablet was pioglitazone (30 mg once daily) and 002 tablets was metformin (850mg once daily). Bio-medical outcomes were measured to assess the efficacy of both the drugs each month. After finishing the treatment period the effects of two drugs were compared using SPSS.And the association between the pioglitazone drug effects and genetic polymorphism was also assessed. The metformin effects was assessed also using the response rate of HbA1c <7.0% after 3 months treatment to the patients.

BACKGROUND: Bathing in sweet or mineral water can induce significant physiological changes in several body systems including the endocrine system. To date, there have only been a small number of reports that balneology can reduce blood sugar Levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM]. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of a immersion in sweet or mineral water on blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 DM. METHODS: Forty patients with type 2 DM will immerse in either sweet or mineral water twice daily. In both cases the water will be warmed to a temperature of 35 degrees C and the bath continue for 20 minutes.

This study will assess the efficacy of vildagliptin plus metformin (SPC) treatment in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients uncontrolled by metformin monotherapy after 24 weeks treatment

This is a pilot study with a single active treatment arm. The study is designed to assess the efficacy of a portable, non-invasive neuromodulation system for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes. In particular, the primary outcome measure is a reduction in A1c.

Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) occurs in almost 20% of teens and 50% of adults. The investigators' long term goal is to determine the cause of CFRD in order to translate this knowledge into therapies aimed at preventing CFRD. Since CFRD and type 2 diabetes share several clinical features and since oxidative stress is a key factor in the development of type 2 diabetes, the investigators explored the role of oxidative stress in CFRD. The investigators discovered a unique CF biochemical signature that they believe could be implicated in the development of CFRD. The investigators found that glucose ingestion in CF teens and young adults causes an acute and profound systemic redox imbalance to the oxidizing state. The degree of redox imbalance was quite severe and would be expected to damage the insulin producing cells as these cells are particularly vulnerable to oxidative stress. Thus, these findings could prove to be a critical factor in the pathogenesis of CFRD. This proposal will test the hypothesis that glucose-induced redox imbalance is an intrinsic, metabolic defect in CF. In addition, because CF people are required to consume a high calorie diet to maintain their weight, the investigators also hypothesize that certain high caloric foods will recapitulate the redox imbalance induced by ingesting glucose and thus hasten the development of CFRD. Specifically, the investigators aim to: Determine whether young children with CF have glucose-induced redox imbalance Determine whether eating a meal with a high glycemic index induces acute redox imbalance Determine whether commonly consumed beverages containing simple sugars (i.e., soda or fruit juice) induce acute redox imbalance
