Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

One in eleven adults falls ill with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and 90% of them suffered from type 2 DM. Depression in type 2 DM patients had a big impact, acting as a major barrier to self-care in type 2 DM patients. Depression in diabetes patients is also associated with decreasing quality of life. Poor self-care behavior and adherence, poor glycemic control, and increased risk of mortality about 36-38% from cardiovascular complications are other known debilitating results. Vitamin D receptors are present in many organ systems, namely the pancreas, intestine, musculoskeletal, and nervous systems. Vitamin D has pleiotropic effects, which were seen from its mechanism as an anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and immunomodulatory agent. Based on the mechanism of Vitamin D action in the nervous system, which also plays a role in depression pathogenesis, vitamin D is hypothesized to have a beneficial effect on depression, both for depression prevention and treatment. Few studies denote that Vitamin D can improve depression in type 2 DM patients. Vitamin D may become an important adjuvant therapy to ameliorate depression in type 2 DM patients. These clinical trials concerning vitamin D in type 2 DM are relevant, reminding that type 2 DM resulted in higher morbidity, mortality, and numerous high-risk complications in the population.

The aim of this study is to collect continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data, coupled with physical activity and everyday day life data. The purpose of this data collection is to help diabetologists to make recommendations to optimize type 2 diabetic patient management.

The first line of treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes usually entails referral for diabetes education which has been shown to improve outcomes. The National Diabetes Audit 2016-17 showed an increase in the percentage of patients with type 2 diabetes who are offered a diabetes education program. Despite this, the percentage of recorded attendance was only 7%. Digitally delivered interventions have the potential to solve the problem of adherence to education programs. Digitally delivered diabetes prevention programs have been shown to have higher participation than in-person programs. As a solution to this we propose a structured diabetes education program based on individualized carbohydrate management delivered through a mobile application. The clinical approach is based on multiple clinical trials demonstrating its effectiveness and is in line with the most recent NICE guidelines. The investigator interviewed a group of general practitioners and patients to identify the target group most suited for this solution. Three groups of patients were identified who would benefit the most from a digital diabetes education program. The first group are patients who have declined face-to-face education for any reason. The second group are patients who are on a waiting list for face-to-face education but will not receive it. The third group are patients who have undergone in-person education but have not clinically improved. To evaluate the acceptability of this approach among patients with diabetes type 2 the investigators will use a Net Promoter Score survey. Adherence to the program will be assessed by measuring the percentage of people completing the whole 3 months. We will also evaluate whether this approach improves patient outcomes as measured by NICE defined treatment targets for glucose control, blood pressure and blood cholesterol. Secondary aims include comparing healthcare resource utilization. Outcomes are to be measured at baseline and at the completion of the 12 week program. Clinical outcomes to be measured are: body weight, blood pressure, Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides level.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of kidney function on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of DWP16001 following single and multiple oral doses in type 2 diabetes patients with normal kidney function and renal impairment.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of treatment with semaglutide 1.34 mg/ml in combination with empagliflozin 25 mg, compared to treatment with empagliflozin 25 mg in combination with placebo on albuminuria in participants with type 2 diabetes and albuminuria. In a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, parallel trial we will include 80 patients with type 2 diabetes and albuminuria. Patients will start in a run-in phase of 26 weeks with empagliflozin 25 mg alone. After that, the patients will be randomised 1:1 to an active treatment period with semaglutide of 26 weeks or placebo for 26 weeks. The primary endpoint is change from randomisation to week 52 in albuminuria, measured in three morning urine samples.

Using CGMS to compare the blood sugar improvement and patient sensibility of insulin glargine injected with needle-free jet injector and conventional insulin pen

The purpose of this study will be to evaluate and compare the effect of a single 30-minute bout of moderate intensity aerobic exercise to the effect of three 10-minute pre-prandial bouts of energy-matched and volume-matched aerobic exercise on 2-hr post prandial and fasting blood sugar levels, in a sample of type 2 diabetes patients, aged 30-65 years, living in Barbados Research Hypotheses: The three bouts of pre-prandial moderate intensity aerobic exercise will result in lower post prandial blood sugar levels when compared to the single bout of moderate intensity aerobic exercise. The three bouts of pre-prandial moderate intensity aerobic exercise will result in lower fasting blood sugar levels on the morning following the exercise intervention when compared to the single bout of moderate intensity aerobic exercise

The study intends to audit the impact of optimal insulin injection technique on clinical parameters and self-care behaviour of insulin treated diabetes patients in a prospective manner with a follow-up of 6 months. The optimal injection technique is delivered through education via a multimodal tailored approach augmented with a digital 'tailorable' patient learning platform . The study is conducted in multiple sites across Belgium. Diabetes patients with or without lipohypertrophy will be entered into the audit. The end points will include the impact on use of insulin, long term blood glucose control (HbA1c), hypoglycaemia, glucose variability, needle reuse, patient injection habits and clinician education, training and information inputs.

The purpose of this two phase study is to: 1) develop and 2) assess a program titled: Merging Yoga, Occupational Therapy and Nutrition Education (MY-OT-Ed) designed for low income adults with Type 2 Diabetes. Half of the participants will participate in the Nutrition Education, and the other half of the participants will participate in Nutrition Education plus Occupational Therapy group and group yoga.

The purposes of the study are to determine which kind of supervised exercise intervention (aerobic endurance training versus strength endurance training versus combined aerobic endurance and strength endurance training) is more effective in improving the metabolic parameters in typ 2 diabetes patients to investigate what kind of intervention is more successful in reduction of concomitant diseases and improving quality of life to assess what kind of intervention induces highest effects in long term persistence of these positive changes
