Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

The objective of this protocol is to answer the questions: 1) Within food supplementation options, are mailed stock boxes superior to food vouchers in terms of achieving glycemic control? 2) Is the combination of mailed stock boxes and food vouchers superior to either food supplementation option alone? 3) Does providing diabetes education in combination with food supplementation lead to improved clinical outcomes compared to education alone? To address this gap in the literature, we propose a randomized controlled trial to test the separate and combined efficacy of monthly food vouchers to farmers market and monthly mailed food stock boxes layered upon diabetes education in improving glycemic control in low income, food insecure, AAs with Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) using a 2x2 factorial design.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety and health economics of precise drug use strategies based on pharmacogenomics compared with traditional drug use strategies for cardiovascular related chronic diseases.

This pragmatic trial compares the effectiveness of virtual culinary medicine classes vs. standard of care medical nutrition visits to improve glycemic control in patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes . Culinary medicine teaches healthy eating principles through a combination of experiential cooking classes and focused didactic sessions. The primary study outcome is glycemic improvement (A1c). Qualitative evaluation will assess participant experience, impact, and durability of behavior changes related to nutrition. A short term cost analysis will be conducted to inform program costs and cost effectiveness.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and clinical utility of a continuous glucose monitoring device (CGM, Dexcom G6) for the care of patients with type 2 diabetes who are on non-insulin therapies.

This study will be a randomized controlled intervention study that will collect pre-intervention and post-intervention anthropometric health data of men and women aged 18-65 years who have type 2 diabetes and who do not have type 2 diabetes. The information collected will be analyzed and used to compare to the post intervention. 12 participants who have type 2 diabetes and 12 participants who do not have type 2 diabetes will be randomized into either the DASH-FP (fried potatoes), DASH-NFP (non-fried potatoes) or DASH-NP (no potatoes) groups, stratifying by sex (male or female) and age range (18 to less than 35, 35 to less than 66 years old) in blocks of three.

This will be an exploratory, open-label study of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (HSD-1) inhibition by SPI-62 in obese subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the self-management of diabetes and hypertension can be improved with the use of mobile monitoring devices and nursing support.

The main objective of the study will be to test the hypothesis that treatment with Liraglutide will decrease ER stress and adipose tissue in obese patients with type 2 diabetes. Experimental Approach: The investigators will use a prospective, single blind, placebo controlled study design to study 12 obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). 6 patients will first receive Liraglutide for 24 weeks followed by placebo for 12 weeks. The other 6 patients will first receive placebo for 12 weeks followed by Liraglutide for 24 weeks. Measurements: The investigators will determine glycemic control (with HbA1c), body composition (bioelectric impedance analysis), insulin sensitivity (with hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps), insulin secretion (with oral glucose tolerance testing), energy balance (calories in vs. calories out), plasma lipid levels and obtain subcutaneous fat biopsies to determine ER stress response markers before and after placebo and before and after Liraglutide treatment.

For this purpose, we will compare the effects of targeted 16-18% (with a range of 16-25%) weight loss induced by Roux-en-Y Gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery with the same weight loss induced by a low-calorie diet (LCD) on liver and skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity, beta-cell function, and 24-hour metabolic homeostasis in obese subjects with or without T2D.

Formerly, the investigators demonstrated in an uncontrolled proof-of principle study (NCT 01680926) that protein-rich meal replacement (PRMR) was successful in reducing daily insulin demand, HbA1c and weight in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients injecting >100 IE insulin/day. The aim of the present study was to investigate in a randomized-controlled trial if PRMR is also effective in T2DM patients treated with oral antidiabetic medication or insulin. A second part of the study is an open-label registry for persons with type 2 diabetes, who will perform the lifestyle intervention with the stringent diet regime.
