Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

The purpose of this pilot feasibility study is to provide continued CGM access to youth with type 2 diabetes and collect descriptive data about feasibility of use of CGM in youth with type 2 diabetes ages 4 years and older. From this study the investigators hope to learn if CGM use in youth with type 2 diabetes can be tolerated and sustained with good adherence and to describe blood glucose patterns in youth with type 2 diabetes. The primary aim will be to evaluate the feasibility of CGM start and continuation in youth with T2D and describe glucose metrics and patient reported outcomes (PROs). The investigators will pilot and refine a program to test the hypothesis that CGM start and continuation in youth with T2D is feasible and then evaluate glucose metrics and PROs.

Exogenous ketone supplements are proposed to have glucose-lowering potential, provide an alternative fuel for the brain and to enhance cognitive function. No studies have tested whether exogenous ketones can lower blood glucose in people with type 2 diabetes. In addition, the impact of exogenous ketones on brain blood flow, cognitive function or brain-derived neurotrophic factor in humans is unknown. The purpose of this study is to determine if acutely ingesting exogenous ketones, in the form of a ketone monoester drink, can lower glucose and improve measures of brain/cognitive function in humans with type 2 diabetes. Participants will consume a ketone monoester drink or placebo with blood samples, brain blood flow, and cognitive function assessed over 180 minutes. The researchers will also test how the ketone monoester drink impacts appetite and measures of inflammation.

Closed-loop insulin delivery system has the potential to improve the condition of many poorly controlled insulin-treated Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) patients. A wide acceptance of the Artificial Pancreas (AP) usage in T2D care will strongly depend on the identification of subpopulations and care settings where the AP could significantly improve the risk- and cost-benefit balances of T2D management as compared to established practice. The aim of this interventional study, therefore, is to investigate whether a therapeutic solution combining an automated insulin delivery AP system with a tailored Home Healthcare Provider (HHP) service can improve blood glucose control, reduce the rate of acute metabolic complications (hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia), improve both the patients quality of life and experience, and reduce the healthcare related costs in patients with uncontrolled T2D needing home nursing care for their daily insulin treatment versus usual care.

A randomized single-blind study with the use of different lancing devices equipped with personal lancets to determine and to compare the amount of capillary blood volume and perceived pain after a single lancing of the fingertip.

This South Initiative is the first step towards a long-term general objective that aims to improve the manage-ment of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and concurrently create jobs for health professionals in Eastern Morocco by developing a multidisciplinary approach in the management of T2D, based upon international guidelines but adapted to the regional socio-economic and cultural context, and with a focus on empowerment of Muslim women. The intermediate results of this SI project proposal are: 1) Facilitators and perceived barriers in female patients with T2D towards change to a healthier lifestyle are known. 2) Characteristics of patients with T2D in the region of Oujda (prevalence, lifestyle, age, gender,…) are analysed. 3) Master and bachelor students have gained experience by participating to relevant research. 4) All involved stakeholders shared existing and newly ac-quired knowledge and expertise. 5) Facilitators and perceived barriers in health professionals of different disciplines to work together in the management of T2D are known.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the performance of the Disposable Sensor (DS5) in subjects age 2 - 80 years, for the span of 170 hours (7 days).

The purpose of the study is to collect information on how Rybelsus® works in people with type 2 diabetes and to see if Rybelsus® can lower their blood sugar levels. Participants will get Rybelsus® as prescribed to them by the study doctor. The study will last for about 8-10 months. Participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire about how they take their Rybelsus® tablets. Participants will complete this questionnaire during their normally scheduled visit with the study doctor.

The study design is observational, exploratory study consisting of two cohorts of COVID-19 patients admitted to the ICU and the medical ward, respectively. The primary outcome focusing on the effect of plasma glucose levels on cardiac function will be evaluated by repeated assessment of cardiac function by echocardiography and measurement of plasma glucose. Furthermore, blood coagulability will be evaluated to determine the importance of diabetes status and plasma glucose changes for whole blood coagulability at time of admission to the ICU and progression in coagulability abnormalities. In the medical ward cohort, two assessments will be performed separated by no more than 12 hours. In the ICU cohort, three assessments will be performed separated by no more than 6 hours. Ideally, 60 patients with COVID-19 will be included in the ICU cohort with a 1:1 distribution between patient with and without diabetes. Ideally, 40 patients with diabetes will be included in the cohort of patients admitted to medical ward (hospitalisation cohort). The primary hypothesis is that levels of plasma glucose have clinically significant impact on left ventricular systolic function in patients with COVID-19 admitted to the ICU. The secondary hypothesis is that the impact of plasma glucose on left ventricular systolic function is associated with glycaemic control prior to admission as measured by HbA1c.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety by determining the incidence rates of all adverse events (AEs) including serious adverse events (SAEs)/serious adverse drug reactions (ADRs), unexpected AEs and ADRs that are not reflected in the precautions for use, ADRs already known, non-serious ADRs and other safety related information among participants who have received alogliptin for type 2 diabetes mellitus.

WHO identifies as an important risk factor and potentially modifiable to high sodium intake (>2g/day 5g salt/day). Also, an insufficient consumption of potassium ( 3.5 g/day).Therefore, the results of this research could be the regional basis that is required to generate evidence, that designs strategies and recommendations for the prevention or decrease in the progression of high blood pressure. The reduction in the consumption of salt in the diet could comply with the recommendations established by international agencies. In addition, to favor the beginning of lifestyle changes, as well as other modifications that will have a positive impact on health.In population highly vulnerable to the campaigns of large industries that favor the consumption of processed food. However, it is unknown what is the effect of reducing foods high in sodium in populations in different regions of Mexico, estimated by 24 hour urine sodium excretion. Therefore, the present study aims to answer the following questions: What impact does an intervention aimed at the decrease in sodium intake, in young university students on blood pressure and the quantification of the excretion of sodium and urinary potassium of 24h? What is the association between body mass index, blood pressure and sodium reduction in the intervention vs control group? To assess the impact of an intervention aimed at reducing sodium intake through education as general recommendations for limiting specific foods high in sodium, in university students on blood pressure and quantification of urinary sodium and potassium excretion of 24h. Specific objectives Assess sodium intake between the intervention group and the control group by estimating 24-hour urinary sodium excretion. secundary objectives Evaluate the effect between the intervention group and the control group on blood pressure. To assess the levels of potassium excretion in the intervention and control groups. To evaluate the association between body mass index, blood pressure and sodium reduction in the intervention and control groups.
