Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

This study is conducted in Europe. The aim of this observational study is to evaluate glycaemic control in subjects with type 2 diabetes using once daily Levemir® as initiation of insulin therapy in Hungary.

The aim is to assess the population prevalence of risk factors for different chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, asthma, and allergy. Risk factors include genetic and serologic biomarkers, questionnaire data on health and lifestyle. There are many hypotheses under study for each research field.

Insulin resistance and a defect in early insulin secretion are risk factors for the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus. A recent longitudinal analysis which tracked the development of diabetes demonstrated that both insulin action and early insulin secretion deteriorate as individuals progress from normal to impaired glucose tolerance and then to diabetes. These results suggest that both inherent (apparent in normal glucose tolerant subjects who progress to diabetes and likely to have a genetic basis) and acquired (evident as individuals progress from NGT to IGT to diabetes and possibly environmental in origin) defects in insulin action and secretion contribute to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. To identify the genetic and environmental determinants of diabetes we are continuing to determine: (1) if there are genes that segregate with metabolic risk factors for diabetes which might therefore be genetic markers for type 2 diabetes and (2) the mechanisms mediating genetic and environmental determinants of insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion. <TAB> Volunteers for this study will be admitted to the clinical research ward where they will undergo several tests to determine body composition, oral and intravenous glucose tolerance and in vivo insulin action. In addition, in selected subjects, adipose and/or skeletal muscle tissue will be obtained by percutaneous biopsy for in vitro studies of gene expression and insulin action in these tissues. A transformed lymphocyte cell line will be established for each subject as a permanent source of DNA for genetic studies. Genetic markers for type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance will be sought by typing each individual at positional and functional candidate loci in the hopes of finding an association between these loci and obesity, insulin secretion, insulin resistance and/or type 2 diabetes.

To study postprandial metabolism in lean, obese and T2DM adolescents using a mixed meal challenge. Specifically we will be measuring the following parameters of postprandial metabolism: 1. Postprandial glucose and triglycerides excursions 2. Gastric emptying 3. Insulin, amylin, glucagon, GLP-1 and ghrelin secretion 4. Glucose Turnover rate

This NON INTERVENTIONAL OBSERVATIONAL STUDY is conducted in Europe. The purpose of this NON INTERVENTIONAL OBSERVATIONAL STUDY is to primarily investigate treatment satisfaction when using Levemir® versus Protaphane® in combination with OADs in daily settings.

This study is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe, Japan and South America. The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the incidence of serious adverse reactions (SARs) while using Levemir® (insulin detemir) under normal clinical practice conditions. Study conducted globally in 26 countries. Some countries participated in the study for only 3 months (Austria, Brazil, Denmark, Germany, Israel, Lebanon, Slovenia, Russia, and Turkey), while others extended their participation to 6 (Belgium/Luxembourg, Czech Republic, Greece, India, Italy, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden, Tunisia, and United Kingdom/Ireland) and 12 months (Finland, France, and Japan), respectively.

This is a pivotal study to determine the accuracy of a new device (SCOUT) in screening persons for pre-diabetes or diabetes. SCOUT will be compared to the standard screening test (Fasting Plasma Glucose), using the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test as the reference standard. SCOUT uses a rapid, noninvasive, light-based technology to measure the concentration of chemicals in the skin called advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs). Several studies have demonstrated that AGEs accumulate in skin faster in individuals with poor control of blood sugar. Persons will be eligible for the study if they are 'at risk' for diabetes based on their age and other risk factors as defined by the American Diabetes Association.

The main purpose of this study is to explore experiences and understand the unmet needs of people with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) among those who are being managed with basal insulin and those who are insulin naïve in order to understand perspectives for a once weekly insulin option; including any potential barriers to being managed with insulin therapy overall. Study participants will be recruited to complete a 15-minute self-administered online survey.

This is a non-interventional (observational), retrospective medical record review study collecting data reported in medical records of patients with T2D (Type 2 Diabetes ) who were treated with any basal-insulin or premix-insulin (plus/minus OAD (Oral Antidiabetic Drug)) for at least 26 weeks prior to switching to Ryzodeg® and treated for at least 26 weeks after switching to Ryzodeg® (plus/minus OAD). All patients have been treated at the discretion of the treating physician in accordance with the Ryzodeg® label in South Korea.

The purpose of the study is to collect information on how Tresiba® works in patients with type 2 diabetes in China. The study will be based on data already recorded in participants' medical records and no new tests or procedures are required as part of the study. This study does not affect participants' current diabetes treatment. The study will look at data recorded in participants' medical records for approximately the last year. After signing the informed consent form, no further activities will be required from the participants.
