Intervention Trial Using Artificial Intelligence(AI) Diet Application for Management of Diet in...
Type 2 DiabetesThe goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the intervention effects on blood sugar levels using an AI diet app for personalized meal control and the continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Effect of glycemic control on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in T2D patients through continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) 2 Effect of blood sugar management intervention using AI diet app ◎ Research method <study arms> Negative Control group (NC) 20 people (*24 people) checking only hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) three times (at the beginning of the study, after the 1st 12 weeks, and then after the 2nd 12weeks) Positive control group (PC) 30 people (*36 people) wearing the CGMS patch for 12 weeks and checking HbA1c three times Intervention group (IG) 30 people (*36 people) using CGMS patch for diabetes, AI diet app, and checking HbA1c three times (* Actual number of recruits considering dropout) This study's aim is to identify dietary factors for each patient that can affect blood sugar control based on the Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS) in patients with T2D and to personalize the amount and type of meal intake. It is planned to confirm the effect of blood sugar control intervention through a nutrition counseling coaching system. The sex-stratified random assignment method was used to recruit 20, 30, and 30 study participants in the control group (negative), control group (positive), and intervention group, respectively. Namely, each study group is allocated according to the endocrinology department visiting patients, so the ratio of participants by gender is similarly allocated. The group allocation of subjects uses a double-blind method in which a researcher who is not at all related to research planning, analysis, and interpretation of results assigns subjects according to random sampling numbers.
Effectiveness of Focused Tele-education in Reducing Diabetes Complications During Ramadan
Diabetes MellitusFasting1 moreIntroduction Diabetes is a global emergency with detrimental clinical and financial consequences. Poorly managed diabetes leads to a myriad of serious complications, especially cardiovascular and infectious complications, with consequent increased cost and mortality rate. For Muslims in particular, the annual fasting month of Ramadan is one such period when diabetes control is essential. Adequate adjustments in diabetes management need to be made in line with the allowed mealtimes to avoid the risk of diabetes complications during Ramadan. Objective Investigators aim to investigate the effectiveness of Ramadan-focused structured diabetes tele-education to reduce diabetes complications during Ramadan fasting for Muslims with diabetes in South East Asia. Methodology In a parallel group randomized controlled trial, investigators aim to recruit 300 adults with diabetes who are able to fast at least 15 days in Ramadan. You will be randomized to the intervention group comprising of a Ramadan-focused structured diabetes tele-education and control group receiving standard care. You will be reviewed again after Ramadan. The primary outcome is the incidence of hypoglycemia in Ramadan. The secondary outcomes are incidence of other diabetes complications in Ramadan episodes including hyperglycemia, episodes of acute infections, attendances in clinic and emergency department, hospital admissions, and compliance to recommendations for diabetes management during Ramadan. Clinical Significance The study enables investigators to evaluate Ramadan-focused structured diabetes tele-education to reduce the risk of diabetes complications for a large population during the fasting month.

Effect of Sago-based Product on Glycaemic and Lipid Control in Diabetes
Diabetes MellitusType 2This will be a parallel, randomised, double-blind, controlled trial. Upon successful screening, subjects will be randomised to either intervention arm or control arm in a ratio of 1:1. The subjects will consume either a drink containing 25g of Sarawak sago starch (intervention) or 25g of corn starch (control) in approximately 200mL of water, two times a day, before lunch and dinner for 12 weeks, in addition to a standardised dietary counselling for diabetes given by the hospital dietitian at baseline. The study endpoints will be evaluated after 12 weeks of starch consumption.
Does the Hematopoietic Stem Cell Govern Residual Inflammatory Cardiovascular Risk in Type 2 Diabetes...
Type 2 DiabetesTo study the effect of type 2 diabetes (T2D) on vascular wall inflammation and hematopoietic stem cell composition in vivo, and whether these changes can be reversed with glucagon like peptide 1 receptor (GLP1R)-agonism.
Efficacy of Adipose Tissue Derived Stem Cells for the Treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Diabetic Foot UlcerDiabetes Mellitus9 moreThe aim of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of uncultured adipose derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and cultured adipose derived stem cells (ASCs) both supplemented with platelet rich plasma (PRP) to treat chronic diabetic foot ulcers. It will increase the pragmatic potential of both types of cells as PRP is rich in survival and chemotactic factors. Moreover, the autologous nature of the proposed study will ensure safety of its use in diabetic patients and will unveil the more effective therapeutic option for treatment of foot ulcer wounds.
Nutraceutical Improvement of Glucose Metabolism, NAFLD and Insulin Resistance by Oat-fiber Supplementation...
Type 2 DiabetesNAFLDCohort studies show an association between increased intake of insoluble (cereal) fiber and decreased risk for cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes (T2DM), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), cancer, infectious and inflammatory disorders. Intervention studies, specifically addressing non-fermentable carbohydrates instead of their food sources (whole grain, pulses, legumes) are still sparse. Whole grain trials reported beneficial effects, but cannot pinpoint these benefits on fiber, as minerals, vitamins, grain protein and food matrix contribute to the metabolic results. The antidiabetic effectiveness of cereal fiber might be explained by a) an increased secretion of incretins and other glucose-induced gastrointestinal hormones, b) an alteration of the gut microbiome, or c) a fermentation to short-chain fatty acids. Fermentable fibers (most of which are soluble) show these mechanisms, but lack strong diabetes-protective associations in cohort studies. In recent supplementation trials, insoluble, mostly non-fermentable fibers improved insulin resistance, glycemia and inflammation in patients with metabolic syndrome or prediabetes. Between 2022-2024, we want to assess the effectiveness of insoluble, poorly fermentable cereal fiber in a shorter Intervention period in patients with high responsiveness (insulin-naïve overt type 2 diabetes mellitus with insulin resistance and NAFLD), using a fiber drinking supplement. Our triple-blinded RCT compares the metabolic effects and mechanistic outcomes of isocaloric treatments with 15 grams of oat-fiber supplement per day (vs. placebo) in 92 patients, covering an intervention period of 12 weeks.
A Randomized Controlled Trial to Compare the Glycemic Control, With or Without the Connected Solution,...
Type 2 Diabetes MellitusThe Connected Solution investigated in this study is the combination of the titration module "Insultrate" and a cell phone application (app) named Health2Sync (H2S) that synchronizes participants' self-monitoring blood glucose data and electronic health records to a platform overseen by their treating physicians. This study investigates if this Connected Solution helps to improve glycemic control more effectively than physician-recommended routine management (i.e., usual care) in participants with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM).
Impact of Muscle and Tendon Dysfunction in People With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Type 2 Diabetes MellitusDiabetes is a chronic-degenerative metabolic disorder that has reached pandemic proportions mainly because of the increasing incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). Diabetes hurts cardiovascular function due to chronic hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia, along with increased advanced glycation end products (AGEs) causing nonenzymatic glycation of soft tissues, including muscle and tendon, and leading to an increase in muscle and tendon stiffness. In turn, the stiffening of the muscle-tendon complex reduces its capability to change in shape, affecting its potential for modulating the mechanical request during contraction (and locomotion), also increasing the metabolic demands during walking. The present, multi-disciplinary, project combines several experimental methods and procedures to investigate the impact of muscle and tendon alterations on the mechanics of muscle contraction and locomotion capacity in T2D patients. In this project, we also propose a new training approach (minute oscillation stretching) to counteract these possible alterations (e.g. to decrease muscle and tendon stiffness).
