Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

The aim of the study is to compare the effect of lifestyle intervention (diet and physical activity) by applying modern approaches to lifestyle changes on the prevention of incident T2DM and the worsening of hyperglycemia in people with high number of T2DM risk alleles and in people with low number of T2DM risk alleles compared to corresponding control groups.

This study aims to determine which factors are related to change in diabetes-related distress and change in depressive symptoms after three years of follow-up in Asian adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus in primary care. The investigators will explore the impact of patient demographics, cardiometabolic control, medications adherence, health-related quality of life, self-efficacy and self-management behaviors on diabetes-related distress and depressive symptoms.

Objective: The main target of this study was to research the correlation between the pulmonary function and the circulatory parameters of retrobulbar blood vessels in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) without diabetic retinopathy (DR). Method: T2DM patients without DR were choose to research the correlation between the pulmonary function and the circulatory parameters of retrobulbar blood vessels. The primary endpoints were the pulmonary function parameters; The secondary endpoints were the HbA1c, FPG, 2hPG, WC, and BMI. The tertiary endpoints were the blood-fat; In addition, the retrobulbar circulation in the retrobulbar blood vessels were evaluated using color doppler imaging (CDI).

The metabolic function of different white adipose tissue depots in the body and its role in the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D) remains unclear. Several studies have used fluor-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography with computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) to image the metabolic activity of different adipose tissues in lean and obese healthy subjects and in patients with T2D with or without euglycaemic hyperinsulinemic clamping, describing differences in metabolic activity of visceral adipose tissue (VAT), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and gluteal-femoral adipose tissue (GFAT). Recently, FDG PET/CT showed high glucose uptake in VAT and SAT under unintentional hypoglycaemic conditions in a non-diabetic patient. Evaluation of potential differences in FDG uptake in white adipose tissue between healthy volunteers and T2D patients and between VAT, SAT and GFAT in these subjects under hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemic conditions would be of great value in further exploring the pathogenesis of insulin resistance in T2D.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether incretin-based drugs (used to treat type 2 diabetes) taken either alone in or combination with other anti-diabetic drugs are associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer (PC) compared to sulfonylureas. The investigators will carry out separate population based cohort studies using administrative health databases in five jurisdictions in Canada, the US, and the UK. Cohorts will be defined by the initiation of a new anti-diabetic drug when incretin-based drugs entered the market, with follow-up until hospitalization for PC. The results from the separate sites will be combined to provide an overall assessment of the risk of PC in users of incretin-based drugs and by class of incretin-based drugs.

The main aim of the present study is to evaluate the prevalence of individual microvascular and macrovascular complications among diabetes mellitus patients and to determine the percentage of diabetes mellitus patients achieved HbA1c<7,0%.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of atypical antipsychotic medication increases the risk of hospitalization for a hyperglycemic emergency. The investigators will carry out separate population-based cohort studies using administrative health databases in eight jurisdictions in Canada and the UK. Cohort entry will be defined by the initiation of a new antipsychotic medication. Follow-up will continue until hospitalization for a hyperglycemic emergency or the end of 365 days. The results from the separate sites will be combined to provide an overall assessment of the risk of hyperglycemic emergencies among new users of various antipsychotic drugs.

The PATHWAYS for Health Equity research program builds on the 5-year FORGE AHEAD Indigenous diabetes quality improvement research program (2013 - 2017). PATHWAYS for Health Equity, a 3-year research program (2017 - 2019), is a great opportunity to continue our important collaborative diabetes quality improvement research with an increasing number of Indigenous partnering communities and researchers and key stakeholders (collaborators, policymakers and knowledge-users). Four partnering First Nations communities will join the Pathways program to develop community-driven quality improvement initiatives championed by a Community Facilitator and supported by a Community Data Coordinator.

Research Design/Plan: After screening, each subject will receive 1 measurements of Endogenous Glucose Production [EGP] with prime-continuous Infusion of 3-3H-glucose. After completing the EGP measurement each subject will receive a Double Tracer Oral Glucose Tolerance Test [OGTT]. Methods: Visit 1: Screening. Medical history will be obtained, physical exam performed, and pregnancy test performed. Visit 2: Endogenous Glucose Production Measurement: The rate of EGP will be measured with 3-3H-glucose. Visit 3: Double Tracer OGTT

Observational, retrospective study, conducted in diabetic patients aimed to evaluate the effects on the glyco-metabolic control and on cardiovascular events of different DPP-4 inhibitors. Patients will be stratified in patients taking different DPP-4 in addition to sulfonylureas, biguanides, thiazolidinediones, insulin, compared to those in therapy with other hypoglycemic classes, such as sulphonylureas, biguanides, thiazolidinediones, insulin, alone or in combination, in primary and secondary prevention.
