Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

This is a dose-escalating study in patients with Type 2 diabetes on metformin. Participants will receive an investigational product or placebo for 28 days.

This 16 week placebo-controlled study evaluates the safety and impact of two medical food study products, WBF10 and WBF11, consisting of commensal microbes. The primary endpoints were safety, glucose AUC during meal tolerance test and C reactive protein (CRP)..

Given the need for personalizable and adaptive mobile applications for patients with type 2 diabetes, this proposal will develop, evaluate, and refine a patient-centered mobile application (T2DXcel), which will deliver tailored and algorithm-based diabetes education to improve process and diabetes-related outcomes.

Diabetes negatively affects cognition and increases the risk of developing overt dementia. Decreased cerebral glucose metabolism may be contributing to this effect, thus providing a glucose substitute using ketone bodies might improve neuronal function. In this study the investigators propose to provide quantitative results on cognitive performance during acute hyperketonemia in patients with type 2 diabetes.

The primary aim of this study is to test whether type 2 diabetes interacts with estradiol on brain metabolism in vivo in humans. This will be accomplished by imaging brain metabolism using positron emission tomography before and after short-term administration of transdermal 17β-estradiol in 10 postmenopausal women with diabetes and 10 non-diabetic postmenopausal women.

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of high intensity interval exercise and moderate intensity continuous exercise on metabolic parameters, physical measures, fitness level, body composition and miRNA-143 level in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Background Diabetes is recognized as an important cause of premature death and disability. Non-clinical interventions play an important role in the control of diabetes and the prevention of its associated complications. Traditional methods of educating diabetic patients to empower them for the control of their disease might not work in the developing world. However, the novel interactive and pictorial health education tool named Diabetes Conversation Map (DCM) might be effective for the improvement of diabetes management self-efficacy and distress among diabetic patients in lower middle income setting of Karachi, Pakistan. Objective To assess the effectiveness of DCM as compared to routine care to improve the diabetes management self-efficacy (DMSE) and diabetic distress (DD) among type 2 diabetic patients (T2DM) visiting diabetic clinics of tertiary care hospitals in lower middle income setting of Karachi, Pakistan. Methodology This will be a two arms randomized controlled trial, conducted in two tertiary care hospitals, Karachi. A sample of 120 T2DM patients of age 30 - 60 years with sub-optimal diabetes control will be screened through eligibility criteria and diabetes distress screening tool. Patients who fulfill the eligibility criteria and have diabetes distress will be randomized into intervention (n=60) and control group (n=60) using sealed envelopes. The intervention arm will receive four diabetic education sessions using the DCM in a group of 5-8 participants and each session will be at the interval of one (1) week, by the principal investigator. T2DM patients in the controlled arm will receive routine care. Data on DMSE and DD will also be measured 2-3 months post intervention after the completion of all education sessions. Descriptive statistics will be used for data analysis through SPSS version 20; whereas, application of Repeated Measures ANOVA will be carried out for inferential statistics.

To investigate whether low glycaemic index (GI) biscuits have the greatest impact on the post-meal glucose response and on the overall 24 hour blood glucose control, using the continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS™)

Creation of a mobile health application for individuals with type II diabetes. This application was designed to improve knowledge, self-efficacy and self-care. The application delivered educational material and provided push notifications (messages). It also allowed for the participants to key in blood glucose levels, carbohydrate consumption and daily exercise.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of BKR-017 on insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes (T2D) subjects during 28 days of active test product administration.
