Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

The purpose of the present study is to determine the effects of increased walking and lower body heating on leg vascular function in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most expensive chronic disease in the U.S. Lifestyle modification is central to T2DM management, but long-term adherence to dietary recommendations is difficult. A key challenge is the difficulty of coping with cravings for high carbohydrate or sugar-laden foods in an environment where these foods are tempting and widely available. One mechanism by which mindfulness may increase long-term dietary adherence is by better equipping individuals with skills to experience food cravings and difficult emotions without eating in response. Such approaches seek to strengthen abilities to be non-judgmentally aware of, tolerate, and respond skillfully to food cravings and difficult emotions without reacting impulsively or maladaptively. The investigators hypothesize that improved ability to manage food cravings and emotional eating is a key mechanism through which mindfulness-enhancements can improve dietary adherence. The study will test a mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) for improving dietary adherence. Although the particular diet employed is not the focus of this study, the study will use a diet with about 10% of calories from carbohydrate as: (1) it induces a low level of ketone production, which will be used as a biomarker for dietary adherence; (2) prior studies suggest it improves metabolic parameters in T2DM, including glycemic control.

Considering that, Diacerein is on the market for 16 years being used continuously in elderly patients with osteoarthritis without experience significant side effects, and considering the anti-hyperglycemic effect and the improvement in the insulin resistance observed in animal models of type 2 diabetes treated with this medicine. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of Diacerein, a medication with anti-osteoarthritic properties and moderately analgesic activity, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic, which demonstrates inhibit properties for the synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin 1 (IL-1). Administered for 12 weeks and the effect in the glycemic and metabolic control in patients with diabetes mellitus 2 and secondary failure to metformin treatment.

The purpose of this Phase 1b study is to assess the safety and tolerability of JNJ-64565111 in adult men and women (of non-child bearing potential) with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

This was an unblinded, randomised controlled study, the purpose of which was to investigate the impact of a structured health education intervention on the glycaemic control of Type 2 diabetes patients within a Kuwaiti cultural context.

This is a 16 week, phase 4, randomized and placebo controlled trial, investigating the separate and combined effects of Sodium Glucose coTransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibition with dapagliflozin and Glucagon Like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonism with exenatide on food intake, body weight and the neural activity in the central satiety and reward circuits in response to food-related stimuli by blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) fMRI in obese type 2 diabetes patients. The investigators hypothesize that treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors is associated with alterations in central reward and satiety circuits in response to food related stimuli, leading to increased appetite and food intake. In addition, the investigators hypothesize that adding a GLP-1 receptor agonist to the treatment with an SGLT2 inhibitor may increase weight loss and prevent the increased food intake during treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors due to effects on neuronal activity of central satiety and reward circuits in response to food-related stimuli in obese patients with T2DM.

In this study the effects of the Inhibition of the Sodium-Glucose Linked Transporter 2 in the kidney with empagliflozin compared to hydrochlorothiazide on blood pressure and on central sympathic nervous activity will be examined.

To investigate the effect of cilostazol compared with aspirin on carotid atherosclerosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the study drug ZGN-1061 in participants with type 2 diabetes.

The purpose of the present study is to assess the safety and efficacy of up to 2 injections of REACT given 6 months (+4 weeks) apart (maximum).
