Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

The general research question posed was 'How effective is a healthy lifestyle intervention using behavioural change strategies in the prevention of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM)?'. The main aim was to assess the effectiveness of a healthy lifestyle intervention implemented for 12 weeks via face-to-face group sessions and by using social media tools (Facebook and WhatsApp) for young adults at risk of T2DM. The hypothesis was that this healthy lifestyle intervention may be effective in terms of initiating an increased physical activity (PA) level and a healthy balanced dietary intake resulting in improvements of other T2DM risk factors at 12 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of dietary supplement with Camel Milk containing Bifidobacterium animalis A6 on the plasma glucose and other related cytokines in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. 45 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were recruited, and a Double Blind Randomized Parallel Controlled Trial was performed. The fasting glycaemia, 2 hour postprandial glycaemia, insulin, uric acid and serum lipid (total cholesterol, total triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ) were measured as Primary Outcome. The Fecal microbiome, fecal metabolites, gut hormones (amylin, ghrelin, glucagon-like peptide 1, pancreatic polypeptide), inflammation cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, MCP-1), myokines (FGF-21, irisin, osteocrin/musclin, osteonectin) and adipokines (adiponectin, resistin, lipocalin-2, adipsin) and body composition analysis were also assessed.

This study is exploring the association between vitamin D and Type 2 diabetes risk in normal weight and overweight UK adults.

T2DM, a chronic progressive disorder has an epidemic status in India. Remission (HbA1c of < 6.5% without any anti-diabetic medication) of T2DM is achievable with diet modifications in recently diagnosed obese T2D individuals. Studies suggest Very Low Calorie Diet (600 - 800kcal) and Low Calorie Diet-LCD (800 -1000 kcal) using Meal replacers (MR) are helpful. The investigators aimed to study the effects of LCD without any anti diabetic medication in intervention group and later comparing it with Control group (on standard medical treatment).

The purpose of this study is to examine how the 'Best Possible Self' (BPS) intervention influences diabetes symptomatology over a four week period by assessing stress and resilience as mediatory effects. Half of the participants will receive the BPS straight away while the other half will be put on a waiting list and will act as the control group.

The present study will investigate the effect of prior walking on postprandial metabolism and endothelial function in healthy South Asian and White European women. Participants will complete two, 2-day trials in a random, crossover design separated by at least 3 weeks to control for the menstrual cycle phase. On day 1, participants will either rest or complete a 60 minute walk at 60% maximal oxygen uptake. On day 2, participants will arrive at 08:00 having fasted overnight and a baseline venous blood sample and endothelial function measurement will be taken. Participants will consume a high-fat breakfast and lunch and 12 subsequent venous blood samples will be taken throughout the day at standardised intervals to measure a variety of coronary heart disease risk markers. A second endothelial function measurement will be completed 2 hours after the breakfast. Blood pressure will be measured every hour. It is expected that the South Asian participants will have impaired metabolism and endothelial function compared to their European counterparts but the bout of exercise performed on day 1 will mitigate these responses.

There is an unmet need for Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) risk reduction in patients with Type 2 Diabetes. In recent trials there has been promising findings of more effective glucose management and reductions in overall CVD events and hospitalization for heart failure with SGLT-2 inhibition. Using the capability of cardiac MRI with T1- and T2-mapping in assessments of myocardial fibrosis and inflammation, the investigators propose to conduct a clinical trial to investigate the effects of SGLT-2 inhibition with dapagliflozin on myocardial strain, fibrosis and inflammation as assessed by cardiac MRI with T1- and T2-mapping in patients with type-2 diabetes. Over approximately 12 months subjects will have 6 clinical visits at the investigators research clinic. During this time subjects will be randomized to receive either active 10mg dapagliflozin or a matching placebo. 2 MRI scans at one of the two University of Washington research imaging centers will take place. One at randomization and the second scan will occur approximately 12 months after the first scan.

This study evaluates the different postprandial effect of isomaltulose and sucrose on the incretin profile and as an determinant for the second meal effect. In this nutritional intervention study, healthy participants and T2DM patients ingest 2 standardized meals for breakfast and lunch in combination with either sucrose or palatinose on 2 separate days. In addition, blood samples are taken to analyze markers of the carbohydrate metabolism, incretins and specific inflammation markers.

This randomized controlled trial is aimed at studying the effects of an eHealth intervention on improving metabolic control and other cardiovascular risk factors (obesity, lipidic profile and hypertension) as the approach to prevent or delay the process of cognitive impairment, and to reduce conversion rates to Alzheimer's disease (AD) in a sample of patients diagnosed of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). For these purposes, the standard clinical treatment for this type of patients will be compared with two types of interventions (parallel groups): one aimed at promoting adherence to treatment through the use of a smart pillbox; and the other intervention will be based on the use of the smart pillbox plus and interactive digital platform allowing communication between patients and caregivers with healthcare professionals. Both interventions are targeted to improve adherence to treatment. The hypothesis is that the rate of conversion from MCI to AD will be higher in the control group than in the intervention groups (higher conversion rates are expected in control group, followed by the smart pillbox group, and lower conversion rates are expected in the group using the interactive digital platform and the smart pillbox).

This study tests the effectiveness of using a new mobile application (Bingocize®) to improve older adults' (a) adherence to an engaging exercise program, and (b) aspects of functional performance, health knowledge, dietary habits, and cognition.
