Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

This study seeks to examine the impact of bariatric surgery on oral bacteria in diabetic compared to non-diabetic patients. The purpose of this research study is to examine how diabetes changes the bacteria in the mouth. This is an important question since bacterial changes may impact oral health. Participants will attend a screening and baseline visit prior to bariatric surgery and three post bariatric surgery appointments (3 weeks post, 6 months post and 1 year to 18 months post). Samples collected at each study visit include blood, plaque, and other oral samples. At the last study visit there is an optional dental cleaning.

Observational study about usefulness of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) in the diagnosis of maturity-onset of the young (MODY) patients.

Evaluate the impact of conducting a screening questionnaire (FINDRISC) and the implementation of a point-of-care HBA1c test for those with identified risk to suffer Diabetes in ten years, to improve the proportion of patients attending for a confirmatory test ( oral glucose tolerance test ) and evaluate the impact of such a strategy to minimize type 2 diabetes outcomes.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a major cause of morbidity, disability, mortality, and health expenditures worldwide. A wealth of studies has demonstrated that people of South Asian ancestry have a higher risk of CHD and particularly premature CHD than most other racial/ethnic groups, and recent research suggests that this risk is higher in Pakistanis than in Indians-the two largest SA groups. Pakistan is the 5th most populous country in the world, and despite these concerning trends, so far there has been a scarcity of large studies evaluating the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and subclinical coronary atherosclerosis in young-to-middle-aged Pakistanis. Also, there is currently no cardiovascular risk score specifically tailored to younger Pakistani men and women. The PAKistan Study of prEmature coronary atHerosclerosis in young AdulTs (PAK-SEHAT) aims at addressing these important gaps. PAK-SEHAT is an ongoing prospective cohort study that will enroll 2,000 asymptomatic Pakistani men aged 35 to 60 years and women aged 35 to 65 years from the general population, free of clinically overt cardiovascular disease. Participants will undergo a comprehensive baseline exam including coronary computed tomography angiography, and will be followed for incident events and repeat testing for 5 years. PAK-SEHAT will allow determining the prevalence, severity, determinants, and prognostic significance of early atherosclerosis in apparently healthy young-to-middle-aged Pakistanis. This knowledge can help inform primordial and primary prevention strategies, enhanced cardiovascular risk stratification, and potential plaque-screening approaches in Pakistan, all of which can ultimately help reduce the burden of CHD in the country. In this report investigators describe the rationale, objectives, methods, and discuss the potential implications of the PAK-SEHAT study.

The global rise in the prevalence of obesity paved the way for the increased prevalence of yet another obesity-related complication significant enough to be considered within the roster of major public health threats: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In this follow-up study, the investigators will attempt to decipher the natural history of hepatic steatosis among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using state-of-the-art methods in a well-characterized Saudi cohort. The investigators aim also to validate existing biomarkers of disease severity and explore the pathogenesis of progressive disease using metabolic profiling technologies. A total of 1000 adult Saudi patients (males and females) with T2DM will be recruited. Those with co-morbidities, including hepatic decompensation, will be excluded. Participants will be followed three times for a total of 10 years/patient (Year 2, Year 5, and Year 10), and measures such as dietary evaluations, anthropometrics, and urine, stool, and blood examinations will be performed. Patients who develop NAFLD will be noted, and patterns/changes in the metabolic profile will be examined. For this specific grant (the first 2 years of the whole project), the investigators will be able to recruit the study cohort, do the baseline anthropometric, imaging, and biochemical measurements, and report the prevalence of NAFLD among patients with T2DM. This information will be the basis of subsequent follow-up and allow for validating potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. This project will be of high importance at the national level since it will create awareness in the local medical community of the current severity status of NAFLD in the kingdom and will be used as a tool to promote public health awareness in the community.

The low level laser therapy is able to improve immediately and long term (after 4 weeks of treatment, 3 days per week resulting in 12 applications of low level laser therapy) isokinetic muscle performance of the quadriceps femoris muscle (peak torque, total muscular work , maximum power and fatigue index - normalized by body weight) pre-exercise concentric isokinetic quadriceps femoris muscle in subjects with diabetes mellitus non-insulin-dependent.

The main objective of this study is to prospectively follow the subjects included in "Descendance" cohort and to describe the occurrence of type 2 diabetes in non-diabetic subjects, which will allow us to iteratively update the "Descendance" Type 2 Diabetes risk prediction model.

This Study aims to develop machine learning models with the ability to predict patients' BMI and complications after Bariatric Surgery (CABS-Score). This Study also aims to develop machine learning models with the ability to predict diabetic (DM II)patients' remission rate after Bariatric Surgery. The service mentioned above will be publicly available as a web-based application

The purpose of this study is to assess glycemic control after parathyroidectomy in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and concomitant type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Prospective trials performed on type 2 diabetes patients without established cardiovascular disease has shown that SGLT2 inhibitors reduce cardiovascular risk. No studies have yet examined the occurrence of cardiovascular disease in patients with acute myocardial infarction. The investigators designed the current study to evaluate the most ideal oral hypoglycemic agent in type 2 diabetes patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction. The investigators hypothesize that the use of SGLT-2 inhibitors will reduce cardiovascular events and modify left ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarctions.
