Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

Tactile massage is a gentle form of massage that probably exerts its effect through relaxation. In a pilot study of 11 subjects an effect on HbA1c of 0.8%-units was seen. The study aimed at comparing the effect of tactile massage sessions for one hour given once a week for 10 weeks in comparison with relaxation through a relaxation CD performed once a week during 10 weeks. Primary outcome was HbA1c measured after completed intervention and after yet another 12 weeks. Secondary outcomes were quality of life by SF-36, other markers of metabolism (fasting glucose, insulin resistance by HOMA-model), inflammation (CRP, cytokines) and stress (cortisone, catecholamines).

The aim of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of DMMET-01 versus metformin hydrocloride on metabolic control in mexican type 2 diabetes patients without prior pharmacological treatment.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of the South Beach Diet and products compared to the American Diabetic Association Diabetes Meal Plan.

This study will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (explores what the body does to the drug), and pharmacodynamics (explores what a drug does to the body) of JNJ-38431055 in volunteers with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Aldosterone is a significant mediator of cardiovascular injury associated with heart failure and the cardiovascular benefits of mineralocorticoid receptor blockade are additive to those of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II (ANGII) receptor blockers. This study will test the hypothesis that mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonists exert beneficial cardiovascular effects, specifically by decreasing vascular injury and improving vascular function. A randomized, double-blind study will be conducted, in which participants with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus will undergo a series of assessments to test heart, blood vessel, and kidney function at baseline, and after 2 and 6 months of treatment with one of the following drugs: spironolactone hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) plus potassium placebo In the event of insufficient funds, randomization to the placebo arm will be stopped and primary assessment of outcomes will occur at baseline and after 6 months of treatment.

This project contains experimental studies of the effects of the drug caffeine on glucose regulation in adults who have Type 2 diabetes. In our experiments, we are testing the hypothesis that moderate amounts of caffeine exaggerate the abnormal increases in glucose and insulin observed after meals in patients with type 2 diabetes. On separate study days subjects receive standard meals after taking capsules containing either caffeine or an inactive placebo. We measure levels of glucose, insulin, and other chemicals in blood samples drawn over the next 3 hours. In a separate study, we use continuous glucose monitoring to measure glucose levels during everyday activities on days when subjects receive caffeine or placebo. These studies do not involve clinical treatment or disease management. However, we hope to learn whether a very popular drug impairs the clinical management of a common disease.

The purpose of this clinical research study is to determine whether dapagliflozin can improve (decrease) blood glucose values in patients with Type 2 diabetes who have never been treated with medication or have been taking medication for less than 24 weeks since their original diabetes diagnosis. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.

The purpose of this study is to compare Apidra (a rapid acting insulin analogue) with Regular insulin (fast acting) in addition to the use of long acting insulin Glargine in hospitalized patients in terms of efficacy and safety in blood glucose control and frequency of low blood glucose. Blood glucose control along with incidence and rate of low blood glucose during the hospitalization shall be of primary interest; length of hospital stay comparing the short acting insulin used shall be the secondary interest.

This study assesses for change in heart rhythm of healthy volunteers taking GSK189075 for 3 days at a normal dose and a higher than normal dose compared to placebo or to a single dose of moxifloxacin. Treatments are GSK189075 500mg daily for three days plus moxifloxacin placebo on Day 3; GSK189075 4000mg daily for three days plus moxifloxacin placebo on Day 3; placebo tablets daily for three days plus moxifloxacin placebo on Day 3; placebo tablets daily for three days plus Moxifloxacin 400mg on Day 3. Volunteers are blindfolded during dosing. Each volunteer participates in all four treatment periods and will have received each dose combination at study end. Volunteers will stay at the research unit from the day before the first dose of study drug until the day after the last dose of study drug of each period. Safety measures include vital signs, laboratory tests on blood and urine, physical exams and ECGs. Volunteers wear a Holter monitor (a device that records heart rate and rhythm continuously) on days 1 and 3. Study drug levels are assessed by multiple blood draws, most of which occur on day 3.

A study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MK0431A in comparison to a commonly used medication in patients with type 2 diabetes
