Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

The purpose of this study is to learn more about how tirzepatide affects stomach emptying in overweight/very overweight participants. Participants include those without diabetes and those with type 2 diabetes. The study will last about 13 weeks for each participant, including screening.

In people with type 2 diabetes (T2D), the body does not make enough of a hormone called insulin or does not use insulin well. This results in high blood sugar levels. People with T2D are at a higher risk of having a condition called chronic kidney disease (CKD). In people with CKD, the kidneys become damaged and do not work as they should. People with CKD can have trouble breathing and often have swelling in their arms and legs, and high blood pressure. People who have CKD and T2D are more likely to have other medical problems, such as heart disease. There are many treatments available to patients who have CKD and T2D. But, researchers need more information about how doctors in Canada are deciding which treatment to give these patients. In this study, the researchers will review health information from men and women with T2D who visited a doctor in 2019 and had check-ups for at least 6 months. The health information will be taken from a Canadian registry (or database) owned by LMC Diabetes & Endocrinology. The registry contains information from people that went to an LMC clinic. In this study, the researchers will learn how many of these people had T2D and CKD. They will learn the treatments these people received, and if they had other related medical problems. The researchers will also use surveys to ask the doctors about why they chose certain treatments.

Penn State Extension's Dining with Diabetes program is an evidence-based community education program for people with or at risk for type 2 diabetes. The program teaches participants how to prevent or manage their disease by providing practical knowledge and strategies to make the necessary lifestyle changes that will lead to healthier living and reduction in the risk of complications. The overall goals and objectives of the program are as follows: Increasing knowledge of healthy food choices for families with or at risk for diabetes Promoting behavior changes by offering demonstrations and tasting of healthy food. Increasing knowledge of essential medical tests associated with diabetes management. Promoting physical activity as a component of diabetes control. Encouraging self-management and self-efficacy skill. Connecting participants to their healthcare providers for long-term follow-up. The program is designed to meet 4 consecutive weeks and then a 3 month follow-up. Participants A1c and blood pressure are taking at the first and follow-up classes. Classes consist of a nutrition lesson, physical activity, cooking demonstration and food tasting.

The purpose of this study is to establish the bioequivalence (i.e. similar pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics characteristics) between acarbose/metformin FDC (50 mg/500 mg) and loose combination of acarbose (50 mg) and metformin (500 mg)

The main purpose of this study is to learn more about how tirzepatide affects the body's response to low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). The study is open to participants with type 2 diabetes. It will last about 42 weeks for each participant.

Recent advances in continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and availability of commercial CGM products to patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes has made the use of CGM more widespread. CGMs work by placing a probe underneath the skin of a patient, into the interstitial space. Patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) who are on intermittent hemodialysis (iHD) or peritoneal dialysis (PD) undergo fluid shifts between the interstitial fluid and intravascular space during dialysis treatments.These fluid shifts, uremia, acidosis, and volume overload (increase in interstitial fluid volume due to ESRD) have the potential to impact the performance of the most advanced and commercially available CGMs; however, use of CGM in these patients has not yet been studied.Use of CGM, and potentially hybrid closed loop insulin delivery systems that are dependent on accurate continuous glucose monitoring, has the potential to improve glucose control and quality of life in these patients (7). This study team feels that this study will be valuable in collecting preliminary data needed with the goal of validating the use of CGM in this patient population. The specific aim is to conduct a pilot study to evaluate the accuracy of continuous glucose monitors (CGM) in End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients on intermittent hemodialysis (iHD).

The study aims to improve diabetes prevention, access to care and advocacy through a novel cost-effective nurse-led continuum of care approach that incorporates diabetes prevention, awareness, screening and management for low-income settings, and furthermore utilizes the endeavor to advocate for establishing standard diabetes program in Nepal.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of trelagliptin tablets in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated by severe renal impairment or end-stage renal failure in the routine clinical setting.

Describe and characterize the time-course for improvement in glucose control after bariatric surgery in obese patients with type 2 diabetes Compare these changes in glycemic control after different techniques for bariatric surgery

Hypoglycemia is the most common diabetes-related adverse event. However, it is often under-reported to healthcare providers by patients and simultaneously, not often asked about by healthcare providers. As a result, little is known about how often hypoglycemia occurs and consequently, which individuals with diabetes will experience such events. The aims of this study are to determine the real- world occurrence of hypoglycemia and develop/validate real-world risk prediction models for hypoglycemia. These risk prediction models will generate a risk score that indicates an individual's risk for hypoglycemia given their socio-demographic, clinical, and/or behaviour-related characteristics. They can be used to promote clinician awareness around patients' hypoglycemia risks, guide point- of-care and patient decision-making with regard to treatment changes, inform the development and conduct of population-based interventions, and lead to tailored, cost-effective management strategies.
