Effectiveness of PICC Improving HBA1C and Knowledge in Diabetes Mellitus Education
Diabetes MellitusType2 DiabetesThe Ministry of Health Malaysia designs an education program for diabetes mellitus under the "Know Your Medicine" campaign. The Pharmacy Integrated Community Care (PICC) program hopes to improve knowledge and self-care for diabetes mellitus patients. PICC contains four modules that will provide knowledge on diabetes mellitus in an interactive, easily understandable and fun program. The investigators want to evaluate the program's effectiveness to see its relevance to Malaysian. PICC is an education program to give knowledge on diabetes mellitus to patients. It intended to improve self-care knowledge for patients with underlying Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus conducted the whole of Malaysia. However, in Sarawak, the investigators interested in conducting it together with this is an experimental study aiming to examine PICC's effectiveness. The study is being conducted in the nine Sarawak divisions. A minimum of 94 respondents will be participating in this study. Patient profile details will be taken with strict confidentiality.

Cardiovascular DiseasesType 2 Diabetes MellitusType two diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a common, long term metabolic disorder characterised by hyperglycaemia (high blood glucose) resulting from insulin resistance and relative insulin insufficiency. The risk of developing insulin resistance and subsequently T2DM is increased by being overweight and also through a sedentary lifestyle. As the onset can be gradual, physiological damage may have occurred prior to diagnosis. Diabetes is associated with the development of microvascular complications (diabetic nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy), and macrovascular complications (coronary artery disease, peripheral arterial disease, and stroke). While there are many treatments available for T2DM, these complications may still arise, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. There is therefore an urgent need to identify novel signalling pathways that may contribute to the development of diabetes related complications. The identification of these pathways may ultimately lead to the development of new therapies targeting better blood glucose control and preventing these subsequent complications. Both animal and human studies have indicated that two endogenous peptides, apelin and relaxin both act as vasodilators in the human cardiovascular system and could also have beneficial action in T2DM. Therefore, we aim to carry out experimental medicine studies to test this hypothesis, and explore the signalling pathway in the human vascular system.
Impact of Metabolic Health on Sperm Epigenetic Marks in Humans
OverweightType 2 Diabetes Mellitus1 moreThis study is designed to evaluate whether epigenetic markers in overweight men with type 1 diabetes (T1D) or type 2 diabetes (T2D) can be improved with a 3 month lifestyle intervention or program focused in glycemic intervention.
Improving the Diabetic Health of Black Men: MANUP Feasibility Trial
Diabetes MellitusType 23 moreMany Black Americans continue to be suffer from diabetes especially Black men. Although previous diabetes efforts have reduced overall disease burden, they have failed to eliminate racial and geographic disparities. The story of John Henry, the "steel-drivin' man" represents strength and self-determination among Black Men. But often these traits lead men to "manup" about their health and prevents them from taking care of their diabetes. This study examines how we can assist Black men in improving their diabetes. Based on the traits of John Henry, we will conduct a culturally-tailored study to 1) determine if our education program including coping strategies and motivation text messages lowers A1c; and, 2) how program operates in a rural setting while learning how we can best improve it for a larger study. We hope to have the information to conduct a larger study with Black men in rural areas to improve their diabetes outcomes.
Comparing Semaglutide Versus Placebo on Intestinal Barrier Function in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus...
Type 2 DiabetesChronic Inflammation1 moreThis study plans to learn more about the effect of semaglutide once weekly on intestinal permeability in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
Behavioral Economics for Activity Motivation in Adolescents (BEAM)
Type 2 DiabetesPreDiabetes2 moreThere is an urgent need to engineer targeted physical activity interventions that are effective and scalable for obese adolescents and young adults (AYA) with type 2 diabetes (T2D), who often have very low levels of physical activity. The BEAM Trial is a proposed mobile health (mHealth) intervention that uses behavioral economic-informed financial incentives and text messaging to promote physical activity in AYA with T2D and prediabetes.
Glycemic Variability Comparing Two vs Six Meals in Type 2 Diabetes
Diabetes Mellitus Type 2Overweight and Obesity1 moreThe frequency of meals is a very important aspect of nutrition, with profound effects on human health and in life expectancy. Excessive energy consumption is totally associated with a significant increase in the incidence of chronic diseases including diabetes. That is why nutritional therapy is recommended for all people with diabetes mellitus type 1 and 2 as an effective complement to your medical treatment. For overweight or obese type 2 diabetic patients, a low-calorie diet along with healthy eating patterns are recommended for weight loss. Similarly, modest body weight decrease may provide clinical benefits in patients, such as improved blood glucose, blood pressure, lipid profile, and others. Data about the role of nutritional habits and energy density being important precursors of obesity and diabetes are well known. On the other hand, data regarding frequency and timing of meals and how these factors relate to corporal weight are not totally understood.
Community-based, eHealth Supported Type 2 Diabetes Care by Lay Village Health Workers in Rural Lesotho...
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D)This cluster-randomized intervention is embedded in the ComBaCaL (Community-Based Chronic disease care Lesotho) cohort study (EKNZ ID AO_2022-00058, clinicaltrials.gov ID NCT05596773, Lesotho NH-REC ID 210-2022), a platform for the investigation of chronic diseases and their management in rural Lesotho that is maintained by local lay chronic care village health workers (CC-VHWs). The overall objective of the ComBaCaL cohort study and nested TwiCs is to assess the impact of eHealthsupported, lay-led chronic disease control measures in rural Lesotho. In this T2D TwiC, the effect, safety and feasibility of a community-based T2D care package (which includes the offer of first-line oral antidiabetic and lipid-lowering treatment for uncomplicated T2D by lay CC-VHWs in comparison to facility-based care after community-based screening and diagnosis) will be evaluated.
OASIS: Peer Support for T2DM in Appalachia
Diabetes MellitusType 2The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of peer coaching models in older adults with unmanaged type two diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are: Are peer coaching models effective at promoting Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus self-management? If effective, which facets of the peer model are most effective? Peer coaches will Undergo peer coach training. Reach out to peer participants on a weekly/biweekly time frame to discuss self-management and goal setting. Retain records of contact, topics discussed, and general notes on interactions. Researchers will compare differences in the frequency of contact, as well as how peer coaches were matched to peer participants to see if efficacy of the intervention is altered between groups.
