Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

The purpose of the study is to collect information on how Rybelsus® works in people with type 2 diabetes and to see if Rybelsus® can lower their blood sugar levels. Participants will get Rybelsus® as prescribed by the study doctor. The study will last for about 8-10 months. Participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire about how they take their Rybelsus® tablets. Participants will complete this questionnaire during their normally scheduled visit with the study doctor. Participants will be asked to complete some questionnaires about their diabetes treatment. Participants will complete these during their normally scheduled visits with the study doctor.

The study team's central hypothesis is that the Parkland Diabetes Detection Program (PDDP) screening invitations targeted by race/ethnicity with culturally concordant messaging and tailored by glycemic risk (known PDM vs. unknown glycemic state) plus phone-based navigation of non-responders will be more effective at closing screening gaps than PDDP generic screening invitations and usual care, opportunistic screening alone.

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus is one of the common risk factors of pregnancy and occurs for the first time during pregnancy. It adversely affects maternal and fetal health and causes an increase in morbidity and mortality rates. In this context, it is very important to identify possible risks for GDM, plan, implement and evaluate initiatives, provide emergency crisis management in a short time without damage, and increase the self-confidence of midwives. In recent years, interest in simulation methods and skill acquisition training in midwifery education has increased. Research; In the management of GDM, to increase the satisfaction and self-confidence level of midwifery students in learning, to evaluate the simulation design and educational effectiveness, it was planned to use the scenario-based near-realistic simulation method in the form of randomized control-intervention quantitatively, and in qualitative design to evaluate the students' views on the method and educational effectiveness. The research will make it easier for midwifery students to intervene with the patient in a shorter time, with confidence and with sufficient clinical skills, and patient safety will be increased. In addition, it will allow the reduction of erroneous clinical practices and malpractices. This study aims to evaluate the satisfaction and self-confidence status of midwifery students and the educational effectiveness of the scenario-based simulation method with high closeness to reality in GDM management and to examine the opinions about this method to fill the gap in the literature.

The purpose of the study is to look at the change in blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes who change their treatment from DPP4i to oral semaglutide. Participant will get oral semaglutide as prescribed by the study doctor. The study will last for about 5-6 months. Participants will be asked to complete two questionnaires. One will be about eating behaviour and the other one will be diabetes related. Participant will complete this questionnaire during the normal scheduled visit with study doctor. Participants will be asked questions about their health and diabetes treatment and lab tests as part of their normal doctor's appointment.

The purpose of the study is to look at the change in blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes who are using oral semaglutide and planning to fast during Ramadan. Participants will take oral semaglutide as prescribed by the study doctor. The study will last for about 5 months (20 weeks). Participants will be asked to complete a patient diary about how and when they take the oral semaglutide tablets. Participants will complete this diary during the study period as instructed by study doctor.

A human subjects research study, the primary purpose of which is to assess the EFFECTS OF SEMAGLUTIDE ON INTRACRANIAL BLOOD FLOW AND BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER PERMEABILITY IN TYPE-2 DIABETES (T2D) through testing of the intervention on patients in a clinical setting. The study will randomize subjects with diabetes to either semaglutide or matching placebo. Magnetic resonance images will be primary endpoint measured at baseline and at one year to assess effect of this FDA approved medication. Given the available evidence supporting the neuroprotective effect of this drug class and stroke reduction with semaglutide, and our preliminary data showing that T2D had significantly reduced total number of distal arterial branches in the brain than non-T2D, we expect treatment with semaglutide will be associated with improved intracranial blood flow condition.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is related to an increased risk of major fractures which does written in English. The summary is used not only increase society health care costs, but also increase the morbidity and in the recruitment of peer reviewers.: mortality for patients with T2D. Traditional fracture predictors underestimate the risk in T2D. Thus, the bone affection is not caused by decreased bone mineral density but rather by impaired bone quality leading to fragile bone. In diabetes, circulating bone turnover markers are suppressed and advanced glycation endproducts may accumulate in the tissue. The study aims at exploring whether bone turnover in T2D is compromised in the circulation, bone marrow, and bone tissue and whether advanced glycation endproducts accumulate in these tissues. Furthermore, the investigators will assess whether bone turnover markers predict fractures in a cohort of individuals with diabetes. The project will contribute to the knowledge on bone disease in T2D and will ultimately benefit the patients by improving future fracture prevention strategies.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) will affect ~650 million adults worldwide by 2040 and about as many will have pre-diabetes. Chronic hyperinsulinemia/insulin resistance precedes T2D development. Studies link insulin resistance with chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. In Guinea-Bissau, a low-income country in West Africa, the T2D incidence is largely unknown and there is an acute lack of diabetes doctors, nurses and other diabetes educators. They hardly have access to insulin, and mortality from T2D complications is high. Previous studies by the Bandim Health Project (www.bandim.org) in the country show that the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine has non-specific effects, well beyond tuberculosis prevention, conferring a general protection against unrelated pathogens. At the same time, studies from the US have also shown that BCG can significantly improve glycemic control in Type-1 diabetes (T1D) patients. Yet, no such studies have been done in T2D or pre-diabetes. The purpose of the present study is to administer BCG to patients with pre-diabetes, in order to reduce hyperinsulinemia/chronic inflammation, a novel strategy to flatten the growing T2D incidence.

The goal of this project is to co-design a healthcare provider-based produce prescription program (PPR) in partnership with the community served to improve participants' food security status, diet quality, and cardio-metabolic health outcomes, and to reduce healthcare costs, specifically related to medication use and hospital visits. Novel to this study is an implementation of a community co-designed randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a delayed intervention control group focused of equity (i.e., including the target population in the intervention designed for them) in design, implementation, and evaluation. The project will be conducted in 3 phases. Phase 1 will involve formative research and PPR co-design with community partners and potential participants through listening sessions, partner meetings, and community advisory group sessions to finalize the intervention protocol and components, for which investigators will then request IRB approval. Phase 2 will involve the implementation of a delayed intervention RCT PPR. Data analysis and final reporting will be conducted during Phase 3. Specific Aims: In collaboration with community partners and community members, utilize implementation science strategies to identify and address community, systemic, and structural barriers and assets to co-design a tailored produce prescription program (PPR) intervention that emphasizes health equity in a low-income population served by Griffin Hospital (GH) and/or Griffin Faculty Physicians (GFP). Hypothesis: Collaborating with our community partners on the design and implementation of a PPR will lead to a successful design and implementation of the PPR to our population of focus, as evidenced by satisfaction, retention, experiences of dignity/respect, improved self-efficacy related to fruit and vegetable consumption, and diet quality. Demonstrate improvements, in intervention group vs delayed intervention control group, in food security status, diet quality, and cardio-metabolic outcomes in individuals with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes through implementation of a tailored PPR in a low-income population served by GH and/or GFP. Hypothesis: The PPR designed with community input will improve food security status, diet quality, self-reported health related quality of life and cardio-metabolic outcomes (Hemoglobin A1C, weight/body mass index, lipids, blood pressure), among our intervention participants compared with a control over a 6-month period. Evaluate the impact of a tailored PPR on healthcare cost among low-income participants with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. Hypothesis: The successful implementation of the tailored PPR will lead to a reduction in certain healthcare cost specifically related to medication usage (including dose) and reduction in emergency department visit and/or hospitalization among intervention participants compared with a control over a 6-month period.

Chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes type 2 are major causes of death worldwide. Preventive interventions can be delivered through primary care, as this is the first-line healthcare with which a considerable proportion of the population comes into contact every year. The goal of this cluster-randomized trial is to compare the effects of a Health Dialogue Intervention (HDI) to Opportunistic Screening (OS) in primary care among middle-aged adults with low socioeconomic status. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the short-term change in cardiovascular risk factors, lifestyle behaviors, and perceived quality-of-life among participants offered HDI, as compared to participants offered OS? What is the long-term risk of ischemic heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and death due to cardiovascular disease or type 2 diabetes, among participants offered HDI, as compared to participants offered OS?
