Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

The UKPDS risk score is recommended to assess global risk for future coronary heart disease (CHD) events in primary prevention. Recently, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) has emerged as a strong independent risk factor for CHD. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) is a promising imaging technique for the evaluation of vascular inflammation that reflects vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque.

This study will assess the correlation between glycemic control and the hypoglycemia symptom score in patients with Type 2 diabetes, 12 weeks after addition of a sulfonylurea to an ongoing regime of oral hypoglycemic agents.

This study is conducted in Africa, Asia, South America and Europe. The aim of this observational study is to document the experience with the study insulins when used in routine clinical practice. After the physician's decision to start insulin treatment using NovoMix® 30, Levemir® or NovoRapid® (alone or combined), type 2 diabetics will be eligible to be included in this study at the physician's discretion

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 NPH insulins (e.g. Protaphane®) as basal insulin as part of their IIT under normal clinical practice conditions in Lithuania

This study is conducted in Asia. The aim of this observational study is to evaluate current status of diabetes management, control and complications in diabetic subjects in Asia.

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the blood glucose control (HbA1c) using NovoMix® 30 for treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetes under normal clinical practice conditions in Romania.

Patients initiating injectable therapy for type 2 diabetes (insulin or exenatide) in usual clinical practice will be enrolled and followed up for two years in order to describe actual practice with regards to the time on initial treatment regime, whether treatment regimens are being modified, what treatment modifications are made, and clinical and patient-reported outcomes.

Purpose: To assess prior need for lipid lowering therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes. Background/Hypothesis: At present, lipid lowering therapy, usually with a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor or "statin", is recommended therapy for selected patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). The use of statins for primary prevention of CVD is not clear. Some primary prevention studies have found a statistically significant benefit but others have not (CARDS and ASPEN). Although low-density lipoprotein (LDL) has traditionally been a key marker of cardiovascular disease risk (CVD) risk and thus a guide to statin treatment, in recent years apolipoprotein B (apoB) has emerged as an independent risk factor for CVD. In a recent study, Tildesley H. et al. showed that in 500 patients with type 2 DM not on lipid lowering therapy there was discordance between LDL and apoB values. Specifically, it was found that among patients who fail to achieve the LDL-C target, 13% of men, 24% of women less than 50 and 13% of women greater than 50 meet the apoB target. In other words, while the LDL level would indicate treatment, the apoB level would not. Objectives: The investigators propose to measure lipid parameters during lipid lowering therapy and compare this with lipid parameters at one and two months after discontinuation of therapy in selected patients with type 2 DM at low risk for CVD. Lipid parameters to be measured include: high-density lipoprotein (HDL) - cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, total cholesterol, total cholesterol: HDL-cholesterol ratio and apoB. As well, A1C will be measured.

This observational study is conducted in Europe. The objective of this retrospective observational cohort analysis is to assess the changes of glycaemic control and quality of care in those Type 2 diabetic patients who were previously treated with Mixtard® insulins after 6 months of their switch to analog premix insulin NovoMix® 30 therapy.
