Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

In this study, the investigators plan to establish the relationship between plasma concentration of YKL-40 with various vascular complications in the patients of type 2 diabetes.

This study is conducted in Europe. The aim of this observational study is to observe and investigate the process of switching from premixed human insulin 30/70 (BHI 30) to biphasic insulin aspart 30/70 (BIAsp 30) in an outpatient setting.

The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence of hospitalizations for infections among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are new initiators of Saxagliptin and those who are new initiators of Oral Anti-Diabetic Drug (OADs) in classes other than DPP4 inhibitors; and to compare the incidence of hospitalizations with infections associated with T-lymphocyte dysfunction (i.e., herpes zoster, tuberculosis, or non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections [evaluated as a composite outcome]) among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are new initiators of Saxagliptin and those who are new initiators of OADs in classes other than DPP4 inhibitors.

The purpose of this study is to investigate microvascular endothelial function in the retina of lean, obese, and type 2 diabetic subjects and to compare microvascular endothelial function in the retina with several other established markers of endothelial and microvascular function.

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.

Primary objective shared by the 3 registries : Describe the different pharmacotherapeutic management in patients : DB (Diabetes): with type 2 diabetes, treated with oral and / or injectable antidiabetics CP (Chronic Pain): with any disease leading to chronic pain (lasting for more than 3 months) AF (Atrial Fibrillation): with ongoing AF or AF diagnosed within 12 months before enrollment Secondary objectives shared by the 3 observatories: Describe the occurrence of clinical events, hospitalizations and death, according to the different medical care conditions, and analyze their predicting factors Estimate the resources consumption according to the medical and non medical management of these patients, Analyze the impact of some factors (patient's cognitive status, autonomy, renal function ...) on the current practice Secondary objectives specific shared by DB and AF registries : - Analyze the geriatric pharmaco-genetic aspects Specific secondary objectives for each observatory : DB : Describe HbA1c level, percentage of responders and body weight evolution according to the different medical care conditions CP : Evaluate pain consequences on Daily Living Activities and patient autonomy

Type 2 diabetes is associated with diabetic dyslipidemia, which is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease. Triglycerides (TG) and cholesterol are transported in the system of lipoproteins, and the metabolism of these lipids in plasma is closely interrelated. Evidence suggests that increased concentration of very low-density lipoprotein triglyceride (VLDL-TG) is a central pathophysiological feature of the lipid and lipoprotein abnormalities in diabetic dyslipidemia. The objective of this study was to investigate VLDL-TG kinetics and aspects of peripheral VLDL-TG metabolism, i.e. to what extent VLDL-TG associated fatty acids (FA) are oxidized or deposited in regional adipose tissue, in subjects with type 2 diabetes and healthy controls in the postabsorptive state and during acute hyperinsulinemia using ex-vivo labeled VLDL-TG tracers.

The purpose of this study is to prospectively explore the impact from the different cardiovascular risk factors on early cardiovascular organ damage in 761 middle aged patients with type 2 diabetes.

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 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.
