Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

Vascular damage caused by diabetes mellitus, cigarette smoking, age and arterial hypertension theoretically changes pulse wave velocity.

This is a multi-center, observational, retrospective and cross-sectional study to be conducted in a cohort of consecutively selected participants with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) who have been treated with sulphonylurea (SU) monotherapy or SU + metformin (MF) combination therapy by their cardiologist, nephrologist, neurologist, or family practice doctor for at least 6 months prior to Study Enrollment.

This retrospective database study analyzed resource utilization and costs associated with sitagliptin (STG) in comparison with rosiglitazone (RSG) added to metformin (MET) monotherapy among adults with a diagnosis of diabetes who were continuously enrolled in a large US healthcare plan.

This study is conducted in Asia. The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the current status of diabetes management, control, and complications in diabetic subjects in India. Perceptions and practices of physicians and subjects about diabetes management will also be evaluated.

The DEAL (Diabetes En America Latina) study was a multicenter, cross-sectional, epidemiological, questionnaire based study carried out between October 2004 and October 2005 in 9 Latin American countries.

A multi-year clinical study to improve tools for measuring the function of insulin-producing beta cells in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

People with diabetes are at an increased risk of heart attacks and heart failure, and it is important to be able to treat people with diabetes who are at risk for heart disease to prevent these outcomes. This study is looking at the importance of "diffuse scar tissue" that is found in the heart of diabetic people. We have discovered a way to detect diffuse scar tissue by cardiac MRI, a non-invasive test. In this study, we do cardiac MRI on diabetics with low risk stress test results and follow them for 5 years to see if the measure of scar tissue in the heart by MRI is related to events. If this study is positive, we will be able to use cardiac MRI scar tissue measurements to target those patients with diabetes who are at highest risk.

The purpose of this study is to assess the burden of hypoglycemia and identify unmet need related to the management of hypoglycemia among Type 2Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients on OADs and/or insulin. This is an observational study which will identify patients with T2DM in an administrative claims database and will link claims data with results of patient and physician surveys concerning hypoglycemia.

Three hundred and ninety height diabetic patients were educated during a week of hospitalisation (nutritional and physical-activity advices). After that, they were randomized in two groups : frequent follow-up (each three month) by educational nurses and dieteticians, versus no follow-up (control group). All patients were evaluated one year after their inclusion,by HbA1c (primary outcome), anthropometry, other cardiovascular risk factors, nutritionnal and physical-activity behaviours.

The study is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe, Japan, North America and South America. The multinational surveys will explore the experiences and unmet needs of people with diabetes, as well as those of family members of people with diabetes, and of healthcare professionals treating people with diabetes.
