Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the glycaemic control in patients with type 1 or 2 diabetes using NovoMix® 30 or Levemir® under normal clinical practice conditions.

This study is conducted in Europe. An observational study evaluating the blood glucose control in patients using a modern insulin: NovoRapid®, NovoMix® 30 or Levemir® for treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus in Czech Republic.

The objective of this study is to determine the bioequivalence of Glipizide GITS (Glucotrol XL) 2.5 mg tablets manufactured at the Brooklyn, New York facility versus tablets manufactured at the facility in Barceloneta, Puerto Rico.

This study will determine whether resting beta cells (cells in the pancreas that produce insulin) for 2 weeks will improve the ability of patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to make insulin. Beta cells can rest by giving patients insulin shots. The study will also examine how teenagers with T2DM feel about having diabetes and explore differences between young people with and without T2DM. This study includes patients 12 to 25 years of age with T2DM who are overweight and who were diagnosed within 2 years of enrolling in the study. Healthy individuals of normal weight or who are overweight are also eligible. Candidates are screened with a medical history, physical examination and laboratory tests. Participants with T2DM are assigned to one of two groups. Group 1 takes an anti-diabetes medicine called metformin and follows a diet prescribed by a study staff dietitian for 2 weeks. Group 2 takes metformin, follows the prescribed diet, and receives insulin through a pump under the skin for 2 weeks. During these two weeks, all participants have the following tests: Frequent blood sugar checks. Oral glucose tolerance test (routine diabetes test in which blood samples are drawn before and several times after the subject drinks a sugary solution). Arginine stimulation to test the response of the body to arginine, a normal ingredient of food that stimulates the release of insulin. Two catheters are placed into veins in the arms, one to administer a liquid containing arginine, the other to draw the blood samples. Ultrasound of the blood vessels in the neck to check for hardening of the arteries. Metabolism test to measure the amount of oxygen used during rest. The subject breathes normally during rest while wearing a canopy over his or her head for about 20 minutes. MRI scans of the abdomen to examine the amount of fat in the belly (at the beginning and end of the study) DEXA scan to determine percent body fat. Tests to explore quality of life and feelings about health, work or school, friends and family. Exercise testing on a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Genetic studies for information on diabetes and obesity. Normal volunteers have blood draws, oral glucose tolerance testing, MRI scan, DEXA scan, psychological testing, exercise testing, and genetic testing.

The study aims to evaluate IFG, IGT or unknown type 2 diabetes mellitus in new classes at high risk to develop alterations of glucose metabolism and definition of new pathogenic mechanisms of insulin resistance and atherosclerosis. The following classes of subjects at high risk will be considered:First degree relatives of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, patients with cardiovascular disease and stroke, patients with heart valve disease. age will be > 30 years, both gender.

To evaluate the relation of retinal microvascular characteristics to subclinical cardiovascular disease, clinical disease, and their risk factors in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) cohort.

Description of the real-life treatment of adult patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) receiving Empagliflozin, comparing the characteristics of patients starting Empagliflozin in three time intervals

The WHO (World Health Organisation) estimated the prevalence of diabetes to be 422 million people in 2014, compared to 108 million in 1980. This has led to an increasing number of diabetic patients referred to nephrologists for diagnostic purposes. Diabetic nephropathy is the most common renal disease in this population and is usually a presumptive diagnosis based on clinical and biological features although microscopic examination of a renal sample acquired through renal biopsy is the only way to be certain of this diagnosis. However, kidney biopsy is an invasive procedure carrying a low but incontestable risk of adverse event such as post-procedural pain and bleeding. Consequently, nephrologist around the world feel that renal biopsy should only be performed in patients with type 2 diabetes to detect non-diabetic renal disease, when the diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy is dubious or unlikely. This likeliness is based on the presence or absence of typical feature such as diabetic retinopathy, hematuria, progressive decline of renal function or increase of proteinuria, long duration of diabetes, nephrotic syndrome. These feature were identified by the comparison of patients with type 2 diabetes and non-diabetic renal disease (alone or associated to diabetic nephropathy) and isolated diabetic nephropathy. However, it is not known if the presence (or absence) of these atypical features by themselves are indeed signs of non-diabetic renal disease and necessitate to perform renal biopsy. The aim of the study is to determine if these atypical features are relevant indications to perform renal biopsy. To answer this question, will be analyze the medical records of patients with type 2 diabetes who underwent renal biopsy in five French nephrology center to determine, in each case, the indication of the biopsy and if this latter benefitted the patients. In addition, will be evaluate the prognosis value of the Renal Pathology Society classification of diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy.

The purpose of the study is to collect information on how semaglutide works in real world patients. Participants will get semaglutide prescribed to them by their doctor. The study will last for about 6 to 8 months. Participants will be asked to complete some questionnaires about their health and diabetes treatment. Participants will complete these during their normally scheduled visits with their doctor.

The purpose of the study is to collect information on how Ryzodeg® works in real world participants. Participants will get Ryzodeg® as prescribed to them by the study doctor. The study will last for about 6 to 8 months. The participants will be asked questions about their health and their diabetes treatment as part of their normal study doctor's appointment.
