Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether laparoscopic removal of the omentum (thin layer of fat inside the abdomen) will significantly improve insulin resistance in patients with non-insulin dependent type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The purpose of this study is the examine the effect of taking exenatide on the blood levels (pharmacokinetics) of orally-administered contraceptives.

The purpose of this research study is to determine if a new investigational diabetes drug is safe and effective in treating people who have Type II diabetes mellitus with very high HbA1c or FPG (fasting plasma glucose) levels. The HbA1c test, also called the hemoglobin A1c test or glycated hemoglobin test, is a measurement of the average amount of sugar in the blood over the last 2 to 3 months. FPG is a test that measures the amount of sugar in the blood after an 8 hour fast.

This is a 6-month study to evaluate the effects of monotherapy with rivoglitazone, an insulin sensitizer, on glycemic control in newly identified type 2 diabetics or diabetics not adequately treated with other antidiabetic agents. The study tests rivoglitazone and uses a placebo and active treatment group for comparison.

Many diabetics gain weight while on insulin therapy. In this study, we evaluate the efficacy of the combination of glimepiride and short-acting insulin on weight control and glucose control. In this study, 150 diabetics whose diabetic control is inadequate while on maximal oral treatment will be randomized to either the new combination treatment or twice daily injections with a mixture of short- and longacting insulin or once-daily injection with a basal insulin analog. The study will compare glucose control and weight gain during a year after randomisation between the three treatments.

The purpose of the study is to see how safe and effective and tolerable the use of WelChol® is for type 2 diabetes when added to insulin alone or in combination with other anti-diabetic drugs

This extension study is designed to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of colesevelam hydrochloride (WelChol®) in patients with type 2 diabetes.

The purpose of the study is to see how safe and effective and tolerable the use of colesevelam hydrochloride is for type 2 diabetes when added to metformin alone or in combination with other anti-diabetic drugs.

This study is designed to assess the potential mechanism of action by which WelChol® (colesevelam) may improve blood glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is usually associated with high blood pressure, which is a risk factor for kidney disease. Aggressive blood pressure reduction is an important strategy to protect the kidney and reduce urinary protein which develops with kidney disease. This study will evaluate the effects of amlodipine/benazepril in reducing blood pressure and urinary protein in hypertensive subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
