Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

Purpose: To develop a mathematical model for the occurrence of MI in patients with T2D by studying the relationship between the internal personalized biorhythms of the patients and the external transit rhythms of space objects; to develop and implement a personalized method of chrono-prevention of MI in patients with T2D. Obejectives: 1.1 To investigate patterns of the influence of external transit rhythms of space objects on the occurrence of MI in patients with T2D: an observational study using clinical databases. 1.2 To investigate patterns of influence of cyclic activity of helio- and geophysical phenomena in the interplanetary medium on the occurrence of MI in patients with T2D. 2. Develop a mathematical model for predicting the occurrence of MI in patients with T2D, based on the identification of the relationship patterns between the internal personalized biorhythms of these patients and the external transit rhythms of space objects. 3. To investigate the effectiveness of the mathematical model for predicting the occurrence of MI in patients with T2D for the purpose of personalized chrono-prevention: a randomized clinical trial.

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.

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?

Background: - African Americans have one of the highest rates of type 2 diabetes in the United States, and often have other medical problems related to obesity and cardiovascular disease. These conditions have various risk factors, including high blood sugar levels, high cholesterol levels, and insulin resistance. However, these risk factors have not been studied very closely in individuals with African ancestry, including Afro-Caribbean and sub-Saharan Africa migrant populations. Researchers are interested in conducting a genetic study on obesity, adult-onset diabetes, heart disease, and other common health conditions in individuals with African ancestry. Objectives: - To collect genetic and non-genetic information from individuals with African ancestry to study common health conditions related to obesity, adult-onset diabetes, and heart disease. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who self-identify as African American, Afro-Caribbean, or migrants from sub Saharan Africa. Design: Participants will undergo a physical examination and will provide a blood sample for study. Participants will also answer questions about personal and family medical history and current lifestyle behaviors. No treatment will be provided as part of this protocol.

Initially, 4 teams of investigators conducted randomized controlled trials (RCT) at their own site to evaluate the effectiveness of bariatric surgery compared to medical/lifestyle management of type 2 diabetes. Each study followed subjects for a duration of about 1 - 3 years. Following this, a consortium was created to pool data and continue to follow study participants. This early collaboration of the 4 groups of investigators was supported by Industry sponsors (Ethicon, Inc and Medtronic-MITG). Now, the investigators have successfully received a grant from the NIH, as the sole supporter of continued observational follow-up of study participants. The continuing aim of this study is to combine data from the 4 studies and follow the original randomized subjects for an additional 5 years of follow-up. The purpose of the study is to determine the longer term durability and effectiveness of bariatric surgery compared to medical/lifestyle intervention on the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the current proposal and different decision-making scenarios of periodontal care coverage increases for patients with T2DM in Chile. The main objective of the clinical section of this study (effectiveness) aims to determine the effectiveness of periodontal care in patients with T2DM under follow-up in the Cardiovascular Health Program (Programa de Salud Cardiovascular, PSCV) of the in the CEMO Villa Sur of Pedro Aguirre Cerda and the CESFAM Antonio Varas of Puerto Montt. A highly matched control group is proposed using Propensity Score Matching of PSCV patients with T2DM who have not received periodontal care. This would allow a better comparison of the individuals who will actually be treated against a counterfactual against of those with similar characteristics who did not receive periodontal intervention during the follow-up period of this first stage.

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 to them 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.

Gestational weight gain (GWG) has been closely related to health outcomes, particularly in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Pregnant women may be particularly motivated to make healthy lifestyle changes. Previous studies showed that lifestyle modification interventions (diet and exercise) may be successful in reducing GWG in high-risk women but their effects on the incidence of GDM and other adverse perinatal outcomes have been limited. The research question for the future full randomized trial is whether an optimizing healthy GWG programme focusing on lifestyle (diet and physical activity) feasible to decrease the risk of GDM in a developing country. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a web/smartphone-based lifestyle program in optimizing gestational weight gain (GWG) to prevent the incidence of GDM.

The aims of this pilot study are to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, preliminary impact, and costs of a brief, behavioral intervention delivered remotely by diabetes educators to people with type 1 diabetes and their family members. The purpose of the intervention is to support health-related quality of life for people with type 1 diabetes of all ages and to support the diabetes health-related quality of life of their parents and partners. This pilot study will explore how this intervention works as a supplement to routine medical care in three clinical care settings: an adult specialty diabetes care setting, a pediatric subspecialty diabetes care setting, and for people who receive diabetes medical care from a primary care provider. To maximize data about feasibility and acceptability of the intervention, all participants in the pilot study will receive the intervention and there will not be randomization to a control condition.
