Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

The primary purpose of this study is to estimate the relative bioavailability and food effect of a PF-03882845 tablet as compared to a suspension formulation used in previous clinical studies.

Elevations of blood glucose and lipid are thought to be deleterious to the insulin secretory function of the pancreas. This is known as glucolipotoxicity. However, few studies have examined this in detail. This investigation will examine pancreatic insulin secretory function in physiological models of glucolipotoxicity such as obese and type 2 diabetic individuals. Furthermore, healthy subjects will undergo 24 hour infusion of glucose or Intralipid to induce experimental models of glucolipotoxicity. Insulin secretion in response to intravenous infusions of glucose, GLP-1, GIP, and arginine and in response to meal ingestion, will be examined. the investigators hypothesize that experimental glucolipotoxicity will impairs pancreatic insulin secretory function to levels akin to that seen in type 2 diabetics.

Recent evidence supports detrimental effects of advanced glycation endproducts (AGE) on vascular function (VF). Though, the effect of AGE-modified proteins alone on vascular function remained unknown. Therefore, the aim of our study is to investigate the effects of heat-treated, glycated beta-lactoglobulins (BLG) on vascular function in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and to compare it to non-glycated, heat-treated BLG.

It is hypothesized that the use of the mobile phone-based self-help system FTA, and with the patients as active players, will improve diabetes self-management reflected by improved glycemic control and lipids, self-care behaviours and lifestyle changes such as improved dietary habits and increased physical activity, compared with usual care. Following this; it is also hypothesized that this will also lead to a reduction in overall risk for diabetes complications (expressed by reduction in e.g., 5 year absolute risk for coronary artery disease as calculated using the Swedish National Diabetes Register's risk calculator) and in the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome (e.g., as defined by the International Diabetes Federation). It also hypothesized that health counselling based on TTM and CBT by a diabetes nurse, and with individualized feedback via sms from the diabetes nurse, may have an important function as a supplement to the self-help system (FTA). In addition, it is hypothesized that the patients' health status and diabetes-related quality of life (HRQL) will improve. The results of this study may show that a commonly used tool like the mobile phone, and also mobile phone together with health counselling, fitted into the patients' daily life, is more effective and cost-effective than standard care.

This open-label study evaluates the pharmacokinetics of simvastatin when coadministered with albiglutide in healthy adult subjects. The primary objective is to assess the effect of albiglutide doses on the pharmacokinetics of simvastatin.

This open-label study evaluates the pharmacokinetics of warfarin when coadministered with albiglutide in healthy adult subjects. The primary objective is to assess the effect of albiglutide doses on the pharmacokinetics of warfarin.

This is a Phase 1, multicenter, open label, single dose study. A total of 30 subjects are planned (5 groups of 6 subjects each.)

Ubiquitous healthcare service for elderly patients with type 2 diabetes provides real-time glycemic monitoring and glucose control implemented by clinical decision support system (CDSS) using wire and wireless communication and information technology. To evaluate the clinical efficacy of this system, researchers plan to compare the improvement of glycemic control, self-management, and quality of life among three study groups: control, self glucose monitoring, and U-healthcare group.

The goal of this study is to test the relative merits of a decision aid for diabetes medications that we have developed - Diabetes Medication Choice Cards- versus usual care in translating comparative effectiveness research (CER) into real world clinics. This study will involve about 20 primary care practice sites affiliated with Mayo Health System, Park Nicollet, or Hennepin County Medical Center. There will be no recruiting done at the Mayo Clinic.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) is applied for several diseases. The effect on insulin sensitivity is yet unknown. Hypothesis: HBO therapy improves insulin sensitivity in patients.
