Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

Dietary calcium seems to act on glycemic control, favoring the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). It is possible that calcium modulates gut microbiota and increase the integrity of the intestinal mucosa. This study aims to evaluate the effects of dietary calcium supplementation in permeability and intestinal microbiota in overweight type 2 diabetics. This is a single-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover study. Patients (n=20) with low habitual calcium intake will be allocated in control group (CONTROL) or test group (DAIRY). Hypocaloric diets (restriction of 500 kcal / day) will be prescribed containing 800 mg of calcium from dietary sources / day. During intervention period, a beverage (shake) (CONTROL - without the addition of calcium sources or DAIRY - 700 mg of calcium as milk powder) will be ingested in the laboratory. Food intake, body composition (total body fat and fat free mass) and anthropometric measures (waist circumference, waist-hip ratio, waist-height, neck circumference and sagittal abdominal diameter) will be evaluated at baseline and at the 6th and 12th weeks. Physical activity level, gut permeability, gut microbiota, and biochemical parameters (parathyroid hormone, 25-dihydroxy vitamin D, calcium, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, fructosamine, hemoglobin, HbA1c, uric acid, triglycerides, cholesterol total and partial, lipopolysaccharide, inflammatory markers) will be evaluated at baseline and after 12 weeks. The statistical analysis will be performed with the use of SPSS software (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, 2008, version 17.0). Parametric or non-parametric tests will be applied, according to the distribution of variables (level of statistical significance of 5%).

Exercise is considered a cornerstone in the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes, but few patients exercise according to guidelines. In this study the effect of two time efficient high intensity exercise protocols on glycemic control and other cardiometabolic risk factors are investigated in patients with type 2 diabetes.The investigators assume that glycemic control is improved more by low-volume high intensity interval training than by extremely low-volume sprint interval training.

This is a single center, prospective randomized double blind, parallel and placebo controlled study to evaluate oxidative stress and inflammation before and after treatment with linagliptin for 12 weeks. We will also, testing whether Linagliptin is an insulin sensitizer.

This study will assess the pharmacokinetics of single and repeated doses of imeglimin in healthy Japanese subjects, and the safety and tolerability of single and repeated doses of imeglimin in healthy Japanese subjects.

The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of two levels of primary care physical activity interventions on metabolic control and cardiovascular risk factors, compared to usual care in patients with pre- and type 2 diabetes. The hypothesis is that both levels of interventions have effect on HbA1c with the more intense Group intervention having superior effects.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the most common microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus, and it is the leading cause of end stage renal disease on developed countries. The CKD diagnosis and its progression require re-evaluation of hypoglycemic therapy and constant dosing adjustments, in order to optimize glycemic control and minimize its side effects. Long acting insulin analogs and its pharmacokinetics have not been studied through different stages of kidney disease and there is no consensus defining the appropriate dosing adjustment based on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). This research project will compare the glycemic response to intensive insulin treatment with NPH insulin and basal insulin analog (insulin glargine) in type 2 diabetes (DM 2) patients with CKD stages 3 and 4. Patients and methods - Inclusion Criteria: DM 2 patients with CKD secondary to diabetic nephropathy and GFR of 15-59 ml/min/1.73m². Exclusion Criteria: Patients with systemic neoplasia, HIV, CKD or nephropathy from other etiologies, severe psychiatric disorders and pregnant women. Study design: This study consists of a randomized, cross-over, open-label controlled clinical trial. Patients will be randomly divided into two groups: GROUP 1 - insulin analog glargine once a day and GROUP 2 - NPH human insulin, three applications per day, both group will be treated with insulin lispro at mealtime. The laboratory tests will be performed at baseline and 12, 24, 36 and 48 weeks after the study start. During routine medical appointments will be analyzed self- monitoring of capillary blood glucose (SMBG) and the hypoglycemia score. After 24 weeks the basal insulin will be changed, i.e. patients using NPH insulin will receive insulin glargine and patients on insulin glargine will be changed to NPH insulin. A CGMS will be carried out at 24 and 48 weeks. Methodology: The metabolic profile will be evaluated throughout SMBG; biochemical, hormonal and hematological measurements; hypoglycemia score and CGMS. Statistical analysis will be performed using comparative descriptive analyzes, such as chi-square distribution, t-test and non-parametric tests. Analyze of data CGMS will include the area under the curve and the related statistic. Finally, logistic regression models will be adopted to evaluate the effect of the treatment on the several variables in question.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of nutrition therapy in combination with education in diabetes using a multimedia application for improving indicators of metabolic control in patients with type 2 diabetes.

KDT501 is an orally administered product designed to help control impaired glucose and insulin regulation in patients with insulin resistance. Nonclinical studies demonstrate agonist activity of KDT501 at the G-protein coupled receptor 120 as well as other G-protein receptors. Nonclinical studies have also documented the ability of KDT501 to improve insulin sensitivity and glucose regulation as well as reduce proinflammatory signals. These properties combined with antihyperglycemic activity and modest, partial agonist effect of KDT501 at the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARγ) receptor suggests an atypical and pleiotropic mechanism of action for KDT501. Following providing informed consent, potential subjects will undergo screening procedures to ensure that they meet all inclusion and exclusion criteria. Following registration on study, subjects will undergo baseline pretreatment studies, including two abdominal fat biopsies, one taken after cold challenge, as well as determination of resting metabolic rate, a 4 hour lipid tolerance test, and a 2 hour euglycemic clamp study. All pretreatment studies in registered subjects will be performed within 7 days prior to initiating therapy. On the first day of treatment (Day 0), subjects will take the first 600 mg dose of KDT501 in the clinic, followed by serum pharmacokinetic (PK) samples being obtained every hour for 6 hours after dosing. Subjects will then continue dosing as an outpatient, 600 mg po twice daily. All doses will be taken with meals (breakfast and dinner). On Day 7, subjects will return to the clinic to undergo safety and laboratory assessments, including PK. On Days 14 and 21, subjects will again return to the clinic to undergo safety and laboratory assessments. On Day 17 subjects will return to the clinic for PK studies, as noted below. Treatment in all subjects will end on Day 28. Rapid PK assessment of drug exposure, defined as AUC0-12h, will be performed following PK samples drawn at Time 0, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 8h, 10h, and 12h on both Days 7 and 17. On Days 11 and 21 (±1day), based on the KDT501 drug exposure level, the subject will be provided instructions on dose adjustments of KDT501. The maximum allowed KDT501 exposure ceiling for all subjects enrolled is AUC0-12h = 22,500ng-hr/mL.

The purpose of the study is to obtain an assessment (efficacy, safety, and patient reported outcomes) of basal bolus insulin delivery with PaQ in insulin-using patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Dapagliflozin improves glycemic variability in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus when added to insulin therapy. The primary objective of this study is to assess the effect of dapagliflozin on glucose variability compared to placebo after 12 weeks of treatment in type 2 diabetic patients with inadequate glycemic control on insulin.
