Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

Many people with diabetes and/or high blood pressure (hypertension) are not very active. When people are more active, they can reduce the chances of having a heart attack or stroke. Walking more is a cheap and effective way to be more active and to lower the risk of heart attacks and strokes. The problem is that many people do not walk enough! The investigators will study if people with diabetes and/or hypertension walk more when the doctor gives them a prescription with the number of steps they should be walking every day. The investigators will compare this group, called 'active', to another group, called 'control', in which doctors and their patients do what they usually do, over a period of one year. The investigators will measure the number of steps the investigators walk everyday with a step counter or pedometer. In the step count prescription group, the doctors will give to the 'active' group a pedometer, a step count record book, and step count prescriptions. The overall goal is to gradually increase daily steps. The speed of the increase in step count will be slower for less active people. At each visit the doctor will look at the step count record book. The doctor will then give a new step count prescription to the patients. Patients of the two groups will see their doctor about four times during the year, which is how often they usually see their doctor. At the end of one year, the investigators will see the difference in the hardness of the arteries between the 'active' and the 'control' groups, using simple and safe measurements, similar to ultrasound in pregnant ladies. People with hard arteries are more likely to have a heart attack or stroke. The investigators suspect that patients who get the step count prescriptions will walk more and their arteries will be less hard than the control group. Our study will help find out if this is true. In that case, doctors should take the time to prescribe steps for all their patients with diabetes and/or hypertension.

This is a stepped glucose clamp study designed to investigate the effect of treatment with albiglutide on counter-regulatory hormone responses and recovery from hypoglycemia in subjects with Type 2 diabetes mellitus. A single dose of albiglutide or placebo will be given prior to a stepped hyper- and hypoglycemic clamp. The goal of this study is to demonstrate that albiglutide increases insulin secretion and decreases glucagon levels in a glucose-dependent manner.

To evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, of Saxagliptin (BMS-477118) in combination with Metformin in pediatric patients with type 2 diabetes

This trial is conducted in Oceania and North America. The aim of this trial is to assess the long term safety and efficacy of biphasic insulin aspart 30 in subjects with type 2 diabetes who have completed the BIAsp-1234 trial.

This is an exploratory trial with two cross-over arms investigating pharmacokinetic profiles of endogenous and exogenous insulin in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients treated with continuous subcutaneous Insulin Aspart infusion and combined with or without intravenous glucose infusion. The order of treatment session will be randomised. Hypotheses: Secretion of endogenous insulin depends on exogenous insulin supply Secretion of endogenous insulin is depends on plasma glucose levels

To assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of ABT-614 in subjects with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease with albuminuria and to determine whether ABT-614 reduces glomerular filtration rate.

Primary objective: To compare the pharmacokinetic profile of PB1023 after a single dose administered by subcutaneous injection of two formulations (concentrations). Secondary objectives: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of two formulations of PB1023 Injection administered as a subcutaneous injection in adult subjects with T2DM. To evaluate the impact on the pharmacokinetic profile of PB1023 after a single 90 mg dose of formulation B (100 mg/mL) administered cold at 2 to 8°C by subcutaneous injection.

The main purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of the addition of sulfonylurea (gliclazide MR) or ,alternatively, basal insulin (insulin detemir) to life-style modification and metformin treatment as a second step treatment in type 2 diabetes mellitus on endothelial cell functions. The second goal is to identify the effects of these treatment alternatives on body-mass index, the changes in body fat mass, insulin resistance and on the insulin secretion capacity of beta cells. The third aim of this study is to determine the success rates of these treatment alternatives on glycemic control at 6 months follow-up.

This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The aim of this trial is to evaluate the the dose-response of insulin detemir and insulin NPH in subjects with type 2 diabetes of various race and ethnicity.
