Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

The purpose of this study is to see if continuous glucose monitoring can identify how often people who have pre-diabetes or medical obesity or well-controlled diabetes experience very high glucose values while receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer or pancreatic.

Diabetes is responsible for a huge and growing burden of patient suffering and social costs, and the impact of this disease is shared disproportionately by minorities and in rural resource-challenged communities, particularly in the Deep South. To address this problem, the University of Alabama (UAB) Diabetes Research Center (DRC) will establish a primary care clinical network in rural counties of Alabama and in the Mississippi delta that will provide the (DRC) and its members with opportunities for partnership and the infrastructure to conduct translational and clinical research in those patients with the greatest need. A pilot trial will be conducted within the coalition to assess feasibility for a larger trial to evaluate a novel and sustainable approach for diabetes prevention that involves an innovative lifestyle intervention combined with metformin.

The Fr1da study aims to assess whether early staging of type 1 diabetes (1) is feasible at a population-based level, (2) prevents severe metabolic decompensation observed at the clinical manifestation of type 1 diabetes and (3) reduces psychological distress through preventive teaching and care.

Diabetes nephropathy (DN) is one of the most serious microvascular complications of diabetes, and also an important cause of death and disability of diabetes patients. There is no specific clinical staging of type 2 diabetes nephropathy at home and abroad, and there is no comprehensive study to comprehensively describe the occurrence and development of type 2 diabetes nephropathy through sensitive biomarkers, microvascular disease imaging and functional detection, digital markers and other multi-dimensional diagnosis and evaluation methods. Therefore, our research aims to establish a long-term follow-up queue for the whole cycle of diabetes nephropathy, develop multi-dimensional diagnostic and progress digital markers for diabetes nephropathy, develop a multimodal non-invasive diagnostic model and a new clinical staging/typing, and create a multi-dimensional accurate diagnosis and treatment system for type 2 diabetes nephropathy combining traditional Chinese and western medicine.

The aim of this project is to create a registry of diabetic patients, containing a detailed clinical profile of each patient, along with omics data, which will be analyzed using artificial intelligence algorithms, and their results will be implemented in the form of new recommendations of care for high-risk patients and those already suffering from diabetes. The study will be conducted prospectively. The project participants will be patients with diabetes, patients at high risk of developing diabetes and a control group of normoglycemic patients who will participate in study visits at the Clinical Research Center of the Medical University of Bialystok.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been extensively studied in the context of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) due to its higher prevalence and its association with obesity and syndrome metabolic, a well-established risk factor for NAFLD. Although several studies have reported the accumulation of liver fat in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D), the prevalence, etiology, and the consequences of NAFLD in patients with T1D are poorly characterized, requiring more studies in this field. In addition, liver involvement at the metabolic level in patients with T1D raises the differential diagnosis between NAFLD and glycogen hepatopathy (GH), a rare complication associated with the poorly metabolic control of diabetes and probably underdiagnosed, since the ultrasound pattern is the same than the NAFLD. The investigators have designed a cross-sectional observational study with the objective of describing the prevalence of metabolic liver diseases (NAFLD and GH) in the population of patients with T1D in the healthcare area of Hospital del Mar and Hospital de Vilafranca, as well as studying the relationship of these pathologies with the degree of metabolic control, the presence of metabolic syndrome and the presence of micro and macrovascular complications.

Cardiac thromboembolism attributed to atrial fibrillation (AF) constitutes at least one-third of ischemic strokes. Indeed, stroke may be the first manifestation of previously undetected AF. The prevalence is projected to increase 20% the coming decades, especially in age group 65 years and above of age. To add to incidence, the diabetic population have an increased risk yet not properly investigated. In patients with confirmed AF, assessment using the CHA2DS2-VASc score (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age 65 years and above, diabetes mellitus, stroke, vascular disease, age 75 years and above, sexual category), is applied for risk stratification. If the CHA2DS2-VASc score is at least 1, or definitely 2 points typically a non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant (NOAC) should be prescribed. The chest- and thumb-electrocardiogram (ECG) system Coala Heart Monitor has proven efficacious in detecting AF following recent cryptogenic stroke. This system also showed to be feasible from a patient perspective. Thus, in patients aged 65 years and above with diabetes mellitus at least 2 points are reached. Therefore, patient with these risk factors should be considered for further evaluation for NOAC to prevent stroke, which provides the rational for this study.

a prospective, observational, multi-center study with a cohort of 300 patients with Type 2 diabetes and macroalbuminuria. Prospectively we will collect kidney biopsies and analyse the transciptome of the kidney tissue and other biomarkers from blood, faeces, urine, proteomic- and metabolomic profiles and DNA-variants. Thereby we hope to be able to discover molecular and clinical profiles, that can help us in the diagnosis of DKD, and to identify different risks of progression that can benefit from different forms of personalized treatment.

The Sunnybrook Type 2 Diabetes Study (S2DS) is a prospective observational study of people with prediabetes or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), that aims to understand the aetiologies, manifestations, and clinical consequences of mood and cognitive complications. The study recruits from the services at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and from the neighbouring University Health Network Toronto Rehabilitation Institute Cardiac Rehabilitation Program.

The study will allow researchers to obtain blood, plasma, DNA, and RNA for genetic studies of insulin. There will be a focus on the causes of insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus. Insulin is a hormone found in the body that controls the level of sugar in the blood. Insulin resistance refers to conditions like diabetes when insulin does not work properly. In this study researchers would like to compare patients with diabetes and other forms of insulin resistance to normal individuals. The study will investigate how insulin attaches to cells. Researchers will take 4 to 6 ounces (100-150 ml) of blood from adult patients and may request up to 12 ounces (one unit) of blood if necessary. Skin samples may be taken for a biopsy if further genetic testing is necessary. In addition some patients may be asked not to eat for up to 72 hours prior to testing....
