Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

The pandemic of diabetes is increasing at an alarming rate. The prevalence of diabetes has risen in India by 123% over the last decade. In 1990, diabetes was not considered an important contributor to mortality in India but in 2013, it is ranked as the eighth most common cause of deaths in adult Indian population. There is now a growing understanding that diabetes runs in families and has a significant genetic basis. In this regard, it is noteworthy that from an ethnographic standpoint, Sindhi population in India has been both genetically and environmentally at an increased risk of stress, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Considering the nexus of metabolic diseases that include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and diabetes it is therefore expected that this population may be at an increased risk of these metabolic conditions. However, exact prevalence of contributors to type 2 diabetes in the Sindhi population is unknown. The proposed study will estimate prevalence of type 2 diabetes in Sindhi families of Nagpur. Both the PIs have extensive experience with family studies which includes construction of pedigrees, using variance components methods, dissecting out genetic and environmental components of diseases and association of critical phenotypic traits with disease. The proposed study will tap this resource with a focus on the Sindhi families of Nagpur which are concentrated in the Jaripatka and Khamla areas. This study will exploit the current infrastructure in the Lata Medical Research Foundation to access these families and conduct a first-of-its-kind study in India. It is expected that this study will pave way for more extensive genetic, epigenetic and environmental studies of this population. It will also foster future collaborations with national and international health agencies. In that vein, the DISFIN pilot study represents the first step towards identification, quantification, prevention and control of type 2 diabetes in central India.

The goal of this study is to field test ADA's Type 2 Diabetes Evidence-Based nutrition Practice Guidelines (EBNPG) for Adults in 2008 as a tool for registered dietitians (RDs) for their patients with with type 2 diabetes who have no evidence of organ damage. A six month pilot study will be conducted to determine the feasibility of training RDs in documenting the outcomes of implementing Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) using ADA's evidence-based GL for T2D.

To build a registry of diabetic volunteers by inviting them to get a LiverMultiScan and collecting their contact information to seek interest in participating in future research studies.

The purpose of the study is to collect information on how Tresiba® works in real world patients with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 (type 2 diabetes). Participants will get Tresiba® as prescribed by their doctor. The study will last for around 6 to 8 months. Participants will be asked questions about their health and their diabetes treatment as part of their normal doctor's appointment.

This study is a retrospective comparative evaluation of six main periodontal pathogens and total bacterial load in chronic periodontitis patients affected or not by type 2 diabetes mellitus by polymerase chain reaction analysis.

The overarching goal of the IMI DIRECT (Innovative Medicines Initiative Diabetes Research on Patient Stratification) Consortium is the identification of biomarkers that aid therapeutic targeting in prediabetes (Study 1) or early onset type 2 diabetes (Study 2).

This is a monocentric, randomized, single-blind and controlled study with a parallel design (2 arms). The research hypothesis is that the diet high in Slow Digestible Starch (SDS) content (H-SDS) will lower the daylong glycemic response and improve the glycemic control just as metabolic, inflammatory, cardiovascular and oxidative stress parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared to the diet low in SDS content (L-SDS). The hypothesis is that these differences in glycemic response and in metabolic, inflammatory, cardiovascular and oxidative stress parameters response can be observed after 3 months of diet.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease in developed countries affecting approximately 30 % of the general adult population. It represents an important pathogenic factor in the development of type 2-diabetes and is associated with a high risk of cardiovascular disease. Previous studies of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have demonstrated an increased risk for NAFLD and the presence of both CKD and NAFLD is likely to increase the risk for cardiovascular disease. The present protocol describes a study of the prevalence and etiology of NAFLD among patients with type 2-diabetes with CKD. The study is a cross-sectional study. Fat accumulation in the liver will be determined by Magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy and the prevalence of NAFLD among patients with type 2-diabetes with normal kidney function or CKD stage 3-5 will be investigated. A continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for four days, Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) scanning, fibro scanning of the liver, bile acid analysis, metabolomic and lipidomic analysis will also be performed.

The purpose of the study is to collect information on how semaglutide works in real world patients. Participants will get semaglutide prescribed by their study doctor. The study will last for about 6 to 8 months. The participants will be asked to complete some questionnaires about their health and their diabetes treatment. Participants will complete these during their normally scheduled visits with their study doctor.

Background: Osteoporotic fractures are a major public health issue. They cause substantial disability, loss of autonomy, morbidity and excess mortality. Diabetes is also associated with increased risk for falls and fractures through a direct impact of elevated blood glucose on the skeleton and on muscles. Research project overview: The investigators propose a cross-sectional study that will involve 2 research centers in the province of Quebec. The investigators will recruit 20 obese participants, without diabetes, who have not undergone bariatric surgery, for one-time measurements to be compared with baseline measurements (pre-surgery) from participants in the bariatric obese diabetic groups with type II diabetes mellitus from the ongoing study BODI study (NCT03455868). Bone Mineral Density as well as muscle quality, strength and function will be evaluated at a single study visit. Relevance: This data will permit the evaluation of the bone-muscle unit in patients with obesity with and without diabetes, and assess whether the presence and duration of diabetes impacts further on clinical and functional musculoskeletal outcomes (falls, fractures and mobility and strength) in this population. AGEs, if associated with muscle and bone deterioration, might become an easily accessible biomarker of musculoskeletal health in the clinical setting.
