Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

To compare the safety and efficacy of empagliflozin versus other treatments in Pakistani Muslim population with type II diabetes mellitus.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a progressive metabolic disorder in which a substantial number of patients cannot attain treatment target despite antidiabetic drugs. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has recently been implicated in the development of insulin resistance and impaired glucose metabolism. This study investigates the effect of adding RAS inhibitors to standard antidiabetic therapy in patients with T2DM. The primary outcome measure is the change in serum glycosylated hemoglobin A1c after 24 weeks of treatment. Secondary outcomes measures include changes in plasma lipid profile and blood pressure after treatment.

The primary objective is to evaluate the effect of MBS treatment in human subjects, and to validate its impact on intestinal flora and diabetes symptoms on diabetic patients undertaking metformin. The scientific data collected will be referenced for future product development.

Therapeutic Confirmatory Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of DWP16001 in Combination with Metformin in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus who Have Inadequate Glycemic Control on Metformin Alone.

The majority of people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are overweight, and while weight gain is a major contributor to diabetes, a minority of patients with T2D are not overweight or obese. The reasons why lean or normal body weight individuals develop T2D (lean-T2D) are not yet understood. T2D occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin, or becomes less sensitive to its effects. Insulin acts like a key to allow sugar into cells and if someone is overweight that key works less well. Recent research suggests that T2D in lean people should be considered a different disease from the diabetes associated with obesity and the main problem in lean-T2D patients may be a reduced capacity of insulin secretion. However, some researchers argue that many seemingly thin people carry more fat than muscle, making them trim on the outside, but fat on the inside, and they are in fact not truly lean. This implies that just like overweight diabetics, lean diabetics also have high resistance to insulin. The main aim of this research is to better understand the main driver of T2D in lean individuals, as this will determine how best to treat these individuals. There are many different types of drugs for treating T2D. Liraglutide improves insulin secretion capacity of the pancreas. Pioglitazone reduces resistance to insulin action. The investigators will compare the actions of these diabetes drugs on the blood supply and the heart's energy levels in lean-T2D and obese-T2D patients. This will allow the investigators to determine the ideal treatment strategies for improving cardiovascular health in lean-T2D patients, and better understand the role of impaired insulin secretory capacity, insulin resistance and excess fat deposition specifically in this group.

This study is designed to characterize the safety, steady-state pharmacokinetics (PK) of IMT-002, and will serve as a dose range identification for the pharmacodynamic effect of blocking self-antigen presentation in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) having the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQ8 gene.

The purpose of this feasibility study is to evaluate subject safety of using the Klue Health app utilizing meal gesture micro insulin dosing (meal gesture dosing) within the AHCL system in adult subjects with type 1 diabetes in a clinic setting.

The purpose of this study is to test the acceptability and effectiveness of an individualized eating strategy as part of diabetes self-management to improve glycemic levels among youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and suboptimal glycemic management. Investigators will assess participant acceptability of and adherence to a 6-month individualized eating strategy ("MyPlan") characterized by approximate day-to-day consistency in the frequency and timing of meals and snacks and distribution of carbohydrate throughout the day. Within-individual change in glycemic levels between baseline and 6-months of the study will also be compared. The goal of the study is to inform the design of a future randomized clinical trial to test the addition of the MyPlan eating strategy to ongoing diabetes clinical care among youth with T1D.

Ketone bodies are a fuel source and signaling molecule that are produced by the body during prolonged fasting or if an individuals consistently eats a low-carbohydrate "keto" diet. Blood ketones can be used as a source of energy by the body, but they may also act as signals that impact the functioning of different cells in the body. Recently, the availability of ketone supplements that can be taken orally allows for raising blood ketones without having to fast or eat a "keto" diet. The investigators' studies and those of other researchers have shown that ketone supplementation can lower blood sugar without having to make any other dietary changes. Oral ingestion of ketones may therefore be an effective strategy to improve blood sugar control and influence how cells function. The main objective of this study is to determine if consuming a ketone supplement 3 times per day (before meals) for 14 days lowers blood sugar and impacts how the body's cells function. The results of this study will be used to guide future recommendations on the utility of ketone supplements for improving health in individuals with, or at elevated risk of, type 2 diabetes.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Peribioma Toothpaste and Mousse for home oral care in patients with Diabetes Mellitus Type 1. Patients will undergo a professional oral hygiene procedure, followed by irrigation with ozonized water. Patients will be randomly divided into two groups: Trial Group: patients will use Biorepair Peribioma Toothpaste and Mousse for home oral care Control Group: patients will use Biorepair Plus Parodontgel toothpaste for home oral care. The variations of the following indices will be evaluated at the baseline, after 3 and 6 months: glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) , Clinical Attachment Level (CAL), Plaque Index (PI), Probing Pocket Depth (PPD) and Bleeding on Probing (BoP).
