Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of ASP8232 in reducing Urinary Albumin to Creatinine Ratio (UACR) in subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) at 12 weeks compared to placebo.

Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is one of the most common chronic diseases world vide. Patients with T2D experiences reduced quality of life and have a lower physical activity level. Physical activity is well documented treatment to the patient group. The effect of physical activity is shown to reduce co-morbidity, and better functional level and quality of life. Interval Walking Training (IWT) is a new and effective exercise type. IWT is done by walking in a slow and a fast tempo. InterWalk is an application to a smartphone. By using InterWalk the patient can to IWT independently and when used, the app has, as an exercise tool, the potential to better the individual functional level and to measure the physical activity level with the integrated personalised walking test. Motivation for change of habits and lifestyle is subjectively determined by the individual, his or hers individual resources and environment. It is important to get insight in these individual challenges in order to be better structure possible help. The combination of an exercise log, a measure of physical activity fromInterWalk and insight in motivational aspects on an individual level, is essential for successful individualised training. The primary objective of the study is to investigate if the InterWalk app is more effective in increasing the physical activity level compared to a standard care offer in a sample of newly T2D diabetes patients across 52 weeks. Secondarily, we will investigate if the IW app can reduce sitting time, induce weight loss, improve glycaemic control, increase quality of life, improve cardio-respiratory fitness and reduce the use of diabetes medication. The study is designed to test the hypothesis that replacing a standard exercise program in the normal municipal standard care with the Interval Walking Training delivered by the IW app with and without a motivational support program, can increase the long-term physical activity level in patients with T2D for a period of 52 weeks. From January 2015 to June 2016 all patient's with T2D, who are referred to the promotion centres in the municipality, will be offered to participate in the study. In total 513 patients with T2D from different municipalities in Denmark will be included and randomly allocated into three groups. One group will receive standard care and the two other groups will do IWT with the InterWalk app. All three groups are followed by the promotion centre for 8-14 weeks (according to the rehabilitation in the municipality) and hereafter only one of the IWT groups will receive motivational support up to 52 weeks. All patients, no mater group allocation, will be tested and fulfill questionnaires, three times during the intervention period - at baseline, after 8-14 weeks and after 52 weeks. The interventions take place at the promotion centres in the municipalities two times a week and the patient will be encouraged train by them selves one time a week.

Abdominal obesity and its metabolic consequences, particularly type 2 diabetes, require personalized nutritional monitoring. Today, it is not always possible to provide patients with appropriate care to both, the diet plan, physical activity, stress and sleep management. Emerging data have shown the effectiveness of remote support (e- coaching), in order to increase the level of physical activity and reducing calorie intake which causes weight loss similar to that obtained during a face to face consultation. Compared to a food survey conducted by a dietician, the dietary survey MXS computer software showed similar results on the collection of nutritional data. Furthermore, users preferred this method of remote collection compared to direct interview. The investigators recently developed a tool for e-coaching combining this computerized dietary survey and education and support modules on diet and physical activity (MXS- health program) for the patients. The aim of the investigators' study is to compare efficacy of this new software vs usual care.

The hypoglycemic effect of Momordica Charantia has been evaluated in clinical trials in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Important reductions in fasting plasma glucose, glycated hemoglobin (A1C), and fructosamine were observed. It is unknown whether this improvement is due to an improvement in insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the administration of Momordica Charantia on insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

A Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel-group Study to Evaluate the Effect of Bydureon Compared with Placebo on 24-hour Glucose Control in Metformin-treated Patients with Type 2 Diabetes.

Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells indicate the therapeutic effects and safety on type 2 diabetes by characteristics of secretion and immune Immunomodulation.

Background: Less than 20% of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients in different healthcare settings achieve all treatment goals to prevent cardiometabolic disease. A more personalised approach with shared decision making should increase that percentage. Because the ADDITION-Europe study demonstrated two (almost) equally effective treatments but with slightly different intensities, it may be a good starting point to discuss with the patients their diabetes treatment, taking into account both the intensity of treatment, clinical factors and patients' preferences. The aim of the study was to evaluate whether such an approach increases the proportion of treatment goals that T2DM patients achieve. Methods: In a cluster-randomised trial in 40 primary care practices that participated until 2009 in the ADDITION Study, 150 T2DM patients 60 - 80 years, known with T2DM for 8-15 years, will be included. Practices are randomised a second time, i.e. intervention practices in the ADDITION study could be control practices in the current study and vice versa. For the GPs from the intervention group a 2-hour training in shared decision making (SDM) was developed as well as a decision support tool to use during the consultation. These GPs plan the first visit with the patients to decide on the intensity of the treatment, personalised targets and the priorities of treatment. The control group will continue with the treatment they were allocated to in the ADDITION study (treatment-as-before). Follow-up: 24 months. The primary outcome is the proportion of patients who achieve all three treatment goals (HbA1c, blood pressure, total cholesterol) at 24 months. Secondary outcomes are the proportion of patients who achieve five treatment goals (HbA1c, blood pressure, total cholesterol , body weight, not smoking), evaluation of the SDM process (SDM-Q9), satisfaction with the treatment (DTSQ), wellbeing and quality of life (W-BQ12, ADD QoL-19), health status (SF-36, EQ-5D) and coping (DCMQ). The proportions of achieved treatment goals will be compared between groups by estimating the relative risk of meeting the treatment targets. For the secondary outcomes mixed models will be used. Discussion: To achieve optimal diabetes care with a higher proportion of achieved individualised treatment goals, the SDM approach including a multi-faceted decision support tool might be useful. An intervention with such a support decision tool is designed.

This study aimed to investigate the influence of uncontrolled type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) on the kinetic disposition, metabolism and pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics of tramadol enantiomers in patients with neuropathic pain. Thus, nondiabetic patients (control group, n = 12), patients with type 1 DM (n = 9), and patients with type 2 DM (n = 9), all with neuropathic pain and phenotyped as extensive metabolizers of cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) who were treated with a single oral dose of 100 mg racemic tramadol were investigated.

This study is conducted to test the hypothesis that in uncontrolled type 2 diabetic adults treatment with diacerein will improve glycemic control and will reduce liver fat within a 24 month period.

The rapidly rising risk of gestational diabetes pregnant women demands that an effective diet strategy be developed due to the high risk of fetal overgrowth, which places the newborn at increased risk for childhood obesity and metabolic syndrome. The aims of this randomized clinical trial are to compare the effects of an 8-wk isocaloric higher complex carbohydrate/lower fat diet vs. a conventional lower carbohydrate (higher fat) diet on glycemic and lipid profiles, maternal insulin resistance, placenta nutrient transporters, the maternal microbiome, neonatal intrahepatic fat, and neonatal total adiposity (primary outcome). The investigators will then follow the infants for 1-yr and measure maternal breast milk and infant microbiome composition to observe if they impact net fat mass gain differently in infants exposed to one diet vs. the other. Identifying a diet for gestational diabetes mellitus women that can effectively alter maternal/fetal metabolism is critical to reducing short- and long-term metabolic risk in this growing cohort of mothers and infants and has the potential to be applicable to overweight/obese pregnant women.
