Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

The aim of this study is to screen patients with type 2 diabetes with high risk of cardiovascular disease, and intervene with or without Glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonists.

Lipid levels in the blood are proposed to play a role in the progression of diabetic retinopathy. Lipid levels can be controlled with dyslipidemic drugs, such as fenofibrate. Fenofibrate is known to prevent diabetic microvascular complications by decreasing cholesterol and triglyceride levels. This study aims to investigate the effects of oral fenofibrate on central macular thickness (CMT) and macular volume, as well as on specific biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction (eNOS), inflammation (VCAM-1), and angiogenesis (VEGF) in DR individuals with dyslipidemia.

According to guidelines, when a mild-to-moderate hypoglycemia occurs (capillary blood glucose < 4.0 mmol/L), 15-20g of rapidly absorbed carbohydrates should be ingested. Patients should re-test and re-ingest 15-20g carbohydrates every 15 minutes until they recover from hypoglycemia. These recommendations were principally based on two studies conducted in the 80s before the introduction of intensive insulin therapy. In practice, only 32-50% of patients follow the current guidelines. In addition, recent studies suggest that under current intensive insulin therapies, an initial correction with 15g of oral glucose may be insufficient to rapidly correct mild-to-moderate hypoglycemia. With the development and increasing usage of newer glucose monitoring technologies, the community is witnessing a shift in hypoglycemia management, from a reactive to a proactive approach (e.g., prevent imminent episodes rather than treating established episodes).

Diabetic nephropathy is not only an important issue of national health, but also a disease that TCM can play an important role. The aim of this project is to build up a TCM clinical daycare model for diabetic nephropathy patients, and to establish a teaching platform for TCM trainees. The TCM daycare model will be provided by a team organized by doctors, nurses, pharmacists, nutritionist and case managers. This model will provide a comprehensive TCM care system to improve the clinical symptoms and quality of life of diabetic nephropathy patients. The teaching platform of the TCM daycare clinics for diabetic nephropathy patients will provide a good clinical training environment for the trainees. They can learn how to take care ofdiabetic nephropathy patients by the lectures and the clinical practice experiences in the daycare clinics. They can also learn a holistic approach, a patient-centered healthcare service. This teaching model will strengthen the clinical training of TCM and enhance the international competitiveness of TCM doctors

The aim of this study is to compare the effect of tropicamide 0.5% and tropicamide 1% on intraocular pressure and anterior chamber parameters in patients with Diabetes Mellitus.

The overall aim of this study is to investigate the long-term impact of a customized diet aimed at reducing liver fat specifically and a healthy Nordic diet on ectopic fat (liver, pancreatic and visceral) and cardiometabolic risk in individuals with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes (T2D).

The treatment with pioglitazone added to the standard treatment of patients with DM2 hospitalized for COVID-19 may produce a decrease in the number of patients who progress to a second phase of severe systemic inflammation.

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of the study drug tirzepatide to insulin lispro (U100) three times a day in participants with type 2 diabetes that are already on insulin glargine (U100), with or without metformin.

This study is designed to explore the efficacy of ORMD-0801 compared to placebo on endogenous glucose production in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Subjects will undergo an initial Screening Visit (Visit 0) to establish their eligibility to participate in the study. At Visit 1 (2 weeks after the Screening Visit), qualifying subjects will be randomized to either ORMD-0801 (8 mg) or matching placebo, study medication will be dispensed and subjects will dose, twice a day, once in the morning prior to breakfast and once at night prior to bedtime

This pilot randomized controlled trial seeks: (1) to determine the preliminary efficacy of our modernized collaborative care intervention for depression in improving the diabetes risk markers of hemoglobin A1c and insulin resistance and (2) to explore whether somatic depressive symptoms - i.e., hyperphagia (increased appetite/weight) and/or hypersomnia (increased sleep) - moderate the effect of the eIMPACT-DM intervention on diabetes risk markers.
