Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

serum level of ferritin and hepicidin were evaluated in periodontitis patient with and without type 2 diabetes before and after non surgical periodontal treatment to clarify their in periodontal disease

The current study aims to spot the light on the possible role of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) level of Chemerin and FGF21 to study their potential role as biomarkers of periodontal disease and to understand their role in the link between periodontitis and diabetes . The study will be conducted on three groups; group (A) include fifteen controlled T2 DM patients suffering from periodontitis, group (B) include fifteen patients suffering from periodontitis alone, and group C) include fifteen periodontally and medically healthy individuals. GCF samples will be collected from all participants for assessment of Chemerin and FGF 21. Samples will be analysed using ELISA technique.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the glycaemic control and other clinical parameters in adult patients previously treated with basal insulin (with or without OADs) and switched to IDegLira in real-world clinical practice in Colombia.

The study is intended to estimate the proportion and clinical management of people with type 2 diabetes having atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases or who are at high risk to develop atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Participants will be asked to give information about their health. Partipants will continue normal way of life and will not get any medication other than those prescribed to them by the doctor. The study will last for about 6 months.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether periodontal treatment improves the periodontal clinical parameters in the periodontal patients with diabetes regarding non-diabetics: two years follow-up.

A clear association between type 2 diabetes (T2D) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been reported. This association is independent of vascular impairment, and therefore, it could be attributed to neurodegeneration triggered or accelerated by diabetes itself. At present there are no methods to identify T2D patients at risk for developing AD. The retina shares many features with the brain and, therefore, has been suggested as an easily accessible way of examining pathology in the brain. In fact, many patients with AD present retinal abnormalities. However, the diagnosis of diabetes, a condition frequently associated with retinal neurodegeneration, has not been considered. On this basis, the final aim of this proposal is to identify diabetic patients at risk for developing AD based on the assessment of retinal neurodegeneration by means of non-invasive tests. Specific aims: 1) To compare the prevalence of morphological and functional abnormalities related to retinal neurodegeneration among three groups of T2D patients: patients with AD, patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and patients without AD or MCI. 2) To assess whether the retinal neurodegenerative features are related to severity of AD. 3) To explore whether the combined retinal neurodegeneration in diabetic patients with AD has a different functional and/or morphological pattern in comparison with neurodegeneration secondary to diabetes alone. Methods: Case-control study. Retinal neurodegeneration will be assessed by mutifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). The potential confounders will be considered in data analyses. Feasibility: A unique multidisciplinary consortium has been created in order to warrant the feasibility of the project Expected impact: This innovative approach will fill a gap that currently exist in the health care system and will reduce the economic burden associated with T2D patients with AD. In addition, this project would be the backbone for future prospective studies.

This exploratory study is researching how the spirituality of a group of British patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), impacts their approach to the self-management of their condition. Bio-statistical markers will be taken from consenting participants' Clinic database records. Qualitative interviews will be conducted with participants, and the results analysed and interpreted, alongside their bio-statistical markers. Results will be presented in healthcare peer reviewed journals and conferences, to inform clinicians how patients' self-management of their T2D is influenced by their spirituality.

The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of alcohol consumption in diurnal triglyceridemia in a free living situation.

With the assessment of the healthy vs. diabetic and pre-diabetic Qatari population the investigators intend to measure the changes in DNA methylation and gene expression in blood monocytes and lymphocytes attributed to diabetes, and to evaluate whether theses changes are persistent or can be reversed by improving diabetes control.

The purpose of this study is to investigate CD8 + T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire differences between patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and type 2 diabetes or healthy controls.
