Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

The metabolism of the monosaccharide fructose is less controlled than the metabolism of glucose, which will result in the metabolic product uric acid. Elevated serum uric acid levels are associated with increased risk, or worsening, of chronic kidney disease. The mechanisms by which uric acid have detrimental effects are not well defined, but may include an increase in reactive oxygen species and subsequent inflammatory activity. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of uric acid, markers of oxidative stress and markers of inflammation following a low fructose load reflecting normal conditions. This is an interventional study. On six different occasions patients with chronic kidney disease, patients with type 2 diabetes and healthy controls will receive Blueberry drink, Coca-Cola or pure Fructose drink with similar amount of carbohydrates (140 kcal) with and without a high fat meal represented by a pizza (425 kcal).Serum samples and urinary samples will be collected.

The aims of this study are: To translate an evidence-based diabetes self-management education (DSME) program, Yo Puedo!, to the cultural norms, expertise of providers, and systems of care in Seguro Popular clinics in Mexico. The program will be adapted through a collaborative team of diabetes experts in the US and Mexico, Seguro Popular clinic administrators, physicians, nurses and adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Mexico City, Mexico. This will include development and testing of a theory-based mHealth (pictorial text-messaging) component. To evaluate the feasibility (process of implementation, fidelity of sessions, attendance, attrition), acceptability (interviews with nurse, CHW, participants) and preliminary efficacy of Yo Puedo!+mHealth in adults with T2D in Mexico City. A randomized, controlled pilot study design will be used in which 40 adults with T2D are randomized to the Yo Puedo! + mHealth or a wait-list control condition with the hypothesis that clinical [A1C, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure (BP)], T2D self-management, and self-efficacy outcomes will be greater in You Puedo!+mHealth participants compared to the wait-list control condition at 3 and 6 month follow-up. A secondary hypothesis that the Yo Puedo! + mHealth program is feasible and acceptable to adults with T2D and providers and that fidelity of the program will be maintained.

The Digital Self-Management Program for Medicare Advantage Members with Type 2 Diabetes - Impact on A1c trial is a 26-week long, prospective, intent-to-treat, 2-arm randomized controlled trial that aims to evaluate the impact of the Digital Self-Management Program on A1c levels for individuals with uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes.

The primary study objective is to demonstrate the use of "Dragon Waves Resonant Home Care" Electronic Nerve Stimulator (DW1330) is associated with improvement of blood glucose control, as measured by change of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). The second study objectives are to demonstrate that DW1330 is associated with the mechanism of glycemic control and inflammation pathways. The study is also aimed to investigate the safety of DW1330.

The Creative Arts Diabetes Initiative will offer facilitated art therapy with a group/peer-support environment to two groups of youth/young adults, one with type 1 diabetes, and one with type 2 diabetes. This environment intends to "meet youth where they are", promote universality, hope and self-understanding, has the potential to be therapeutic and allows youth to express and learn about themselves and each other while developing healthy coping skills and address their fears and concerns.

This will be a randomized, cross-over design. Subjects will be randomized to one of three interventions on three separate study days, 1 week apart.

This study will investigate how the body processes nasal glucagon (NG) and the effect of nasal glucagon on the body. The study is expected to last about 50 days for each participant. The study is open to adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes and will last about 50 days.

The proposed study is a pilot study to gather data on the effectiveness and feasibility of a software tool (EMPATHy) to help patients communicate effectively with doctors about problems they face with their medication regimens. EMPATHy will be incorporated into an existing clinic-based intervention called Coached Care, in which community health workers (CHWs, non-professional community members) work as a "Coach" to patients to help them improve engagement and communication during the medical visit.

The purpose of this study is: to measure the size of the effect on glucose tolerance of a small mixed protein and lipid meal given as a pre-load in individuals with different glucose tolerance status to investigate the underlying mechanisms by accurately evaluating beta cell function, insulin sensitivity, insulin clearance and glucose kinetics (oral absorption, endogenous production, rate of utilization) together with gut hormones plasma concentration.

This 6-week parallel randomised prospective dietary intervention study with type 2 Diabetes investigates the nutrition influence of animal protein in comparison to plant protein on the glucose metabolism.
