Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

This study is conducted in Asia. The aim of this non-interventional study is to evaluate the current status of diabetes management, control, and complications in diabetic subjects in Vietnam.

This study is conducted in Europe. The aim of the study is to gather information about hypoglycaemia (low blood glucose) among patients with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus. The study is both retrospective and prospective.

The purpose of this study is investigating the clinical characteristics of newly diagnosed, drug naïve type 2 diabetic patients according to insulin secretion and insulin resistance.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the mechanisms leading to rapid postoperative improvement in diabetes following Gastric By-Pass surgery for obesity.We will evaluate and compare the changes in glucose level, beta-cell function, and insulin resistance induced by a week of very low calorie liquid diet and those induced by a week of matched very -low calorie liquid diet occuring in the context of routine postoperative care following RYGB.

Diabetes is one of the most common causes of death in Taiwan. With the raising prevalence of diabetes, it became the fourth most common cause of death since 2002. Up to one-tenth of the national health insurance expenditure was used directly in diabetic care. Besides, more expenditure was used in the management of the complications of diabetes, like vascular diseases, renal disease, blindness and neuropathy. Diabetes is a chronic disease, the target treatment is to control HbA1c below 7%, by intensive life style modification, diet control, exercise and medications. Diabetic patient should have a good medical compliance, in order to prevent the tragedy of the complication. A good medical compliance is depended on the individual personality. Personality is the major cause of chronic stress, which is one of the most important cause of psychological stress and the risk factors of the vascular disease and hypertension. Recently, Type D personality had shown the close relationship with patients' prognosis, morbidity, mortality and life quality in different vascular diseases. These vascular diseases are the result of the atherosclerotic process, and diabetes is one of the most important risk factors of the atherosclerotic changes. The investigators believed that type D personality may also affect the medical compliance, the severity (in terms of HbA1c), and the prognosis of diabetic patients. The first part of this study is a cross sectional study, the investigators will try to figure out the relationship of the type D personality toward diabetic medical compliance, and their comorbidity. The second part of this study is a cohort study, base on the population in first part of the study, the investigators will like to construct the correlation of type D personality and diabetic patients' 5-years complication and mortality. The investigators want to establish a more complete vascular care system, improve the medical compliance, lower the complication rates, and improved the quality of life.

The purpose of this study is to identify risk factors for low lymphocyte count among patients with type 2 diabetes who are treated with oral antidiabetic drugs.

The purpose of this study is to collect information of the risk profile of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, their treatment concerning meeting the guidelines for treatment of diabetic patients type 2 published by the Deutsche Diabetes Gesellschaft (DDG) on October 13, 2008

The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence of hospitalization for acute kidney injury among patients with type 2 diabetes who are new initiators of Saxagliptin and those who are new initiators of other oral antidiabetic drugs in classes other than Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP4) inhibitors.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate Hemoglobin A1c values previous to a surgery in patients with diabetes type II and the complication incidence in immediate post surgery.

From a central registry at the National Board of Health and Welfare in Sweden collect all patients in the city of Malmö prescribed metformin during two years. Glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was estimated from the CKD-EPI formula (n=5408) and compared to a control material (n=2815) from the same town. All cases of severe lactic acidosis rendering ICU admission were also sought. The study hypothesis is that metformin is prescribed to patients with lower GFR than anticipated with very few cases of lactic acidosis registered.
