Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

The purpose of this study is to improve blood glucose control in Type 2 Diabetes mellitus patients.

Diabetes is a common chronic condition associated with the risk of heart disease, and eye and kidney damage. Many people are diagnosed with diabetes when they develop symptoms or complications, suggesting that the true onset of disease occurs years earlier. Early detection of diabetes may result in health benefits, but this is not proven. People of South Asian origin are at more risk of having diabetes and of getting the heart disease complications associated with it. The study aims to test whether screening for diabetes is feasible in a South Asian population and to measure the benefits of early detection and intensive treatment. Hypothesis: A program of screening and an intensive multi-factorial intervention for type 2 diabetes is both feasible and cost effective within primary care.

This study is conducted in Africa. The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the incidence of adverse events while using NovoMix® 30 FlexPen® under normal clinical practice conditions.

The purpose of this study is to assess platelet dependent thrombogenicity in patients after acute coronary syndrome using an ex vivo arterial injury model.

This study is conducted in Asia. The aim of this observational study is to evaluate safety, efficacy and convenience in using NovoMix® 30 FlexPen® in type 2 diabetes under normal clinical practice conditions.

This study is conducted in Europe. The aim of this observational study is to gain practical experience with once-daily Levemir administration in type 2 diabetes patients who were previously treated with Insulatard®, Humulin® N (NPH insulins) as basal insulin as part of their ICT under normal clinical practice conditions in Hungary.

Patients with T2DM lac a sufficient incretin response after oral glucose intake. It has only been tested using 50g of glucose. We don't know if patients with T2DM are capable of regulating the incretin effect like healthy people in responds to different amounts of glucose intake. The aim of the present study is to quantify the incretin effect in healthy subjects and in patients with T2DM during increasing amounts of oral glucose challenges. The proposed studies will answer important questions on the mechanisms underlying T2DM and be of importance in relation to future preventive- and treatment strategies.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of type 2 diabetes patients switched from sulfonylurea co-administered with metformin to glyburide/metformin combination tablet. It is expected that safety and efficacy of GlucoMet® is not inferior to co-administration of sulfonylurea and metformin.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that pharmacists working collaboratively with physicians and other providers in an ambulatory care setting can improve glucose, blood pressure, and lipid control, as well as improve quality of life, adherence to screening and general preventative measures.

Glucagon like peptides receptors expression in the stomach of diabetes type 2 Glucagon like peptides (GLP-1, GLP-2), are hormones secreted by L cells located along the gastrointestinal tract. These hormones are secreted after meals and have some roles in regulating the digestion process, absorption, and sending signals to the brain that regulate food consumption. GLP peptides affect peripheral targets and have an important homeostatic role. GLP-1 decreases the circulatory glucose level and GLP-2 has trophic effects which enable adequate intestine growth. We aimed in our study to investigate the GLP-1 and GLP-2 receptor expression in different zones of the stomach in diabetes type 2 patients. If there are differences, it might explain the pathological gastric emptying in these patients. Understanding the function of these peptides may lead to new therapeutic options for diabetic patients with delayed gastric emptying. Methods: 20 diabetes type 2 patients with symptoms that need upper endoscopy will be included in the study and 20 controls aged 18-70 years. Patients with neurological disease will be excluded. During esophagogastroduodenoscopy 3 biopsies will be taken from the antrum, corpus and cardia. The biopsies will be stored in -70. After RNA extraction the GLP receptors expression will established by real time PCR method. Patients with different expression compared to control will undergo isotopic scan for gastric emptying.
