The Effect of an Online Plant-Based Dietary Program on Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Persons With...
Diabetes MellitusType 210 morePersons with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) are at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality. Dietary changes are recommended by guidelines to treat T2D and reduce risk of CVD. Plant-based diets eliminate certain (i.e. vegetarian diet) or eliminate all animal based products (i.e. vegan diet). Clinical trials with plant-based diets have not looked at incidence of CVD as a (primary) outcome, but at intermediate outcomes of cardiovascular risk. A meta-analysis of 8 trials including 369 persons with T2D found an effect of a plant-based diet on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) of -0.29% [95% CI: -0.45, -0.12%] relative to mostly (omnivorous) low-fat diets or usual diet. The 95%CI ranged from what the authors had defined as clinically trivial to clinically relevant. For lipids, a network meta-analysis in persons with T2D compared the effect of a plant-based diet to a (omnivorous) low fat diet (274 patients allocated to a plant-based diet vs 2047 patients allocated to low fat diets). Compared to omnivorous low fat diets, the mean effect of plant-based diets on LDL-Cholesterol was -0.33 mmol/L [95%CI:- 0.55, - 0.12]. However, the quality of the evidence for this estimate was graded as low, mainly due to imprecision and within-study-bias. Furthermore, plant-based diets might reduce blood pressure (BP). However, while vegetarian diets reduce BP in patients with and without hypertension, for vegan diets the effect was only significant in patients with a systolic BP>130mmHgz (see section 1.4.3). Additionally, the effect of plant-based diets on inflammation, which might also be causally related to CVD risk in persons with T2D, has not been reported in trials with persons with T2D. Furthermore, most clinical trials of plant-based diets in persons with T2D have used resource intensive interventions, like weekly group meetings and cooking sessions. The effect of an online plant-based dietary intervention, which is more scalable, has not been reported in clinical trials. Lastly, factors influencing adherence in these trials have not been reported. In summary, plant-based diets likely lower CVD risk by lowering HbA1c, LDL cholesterol and potentially blood pressure in persons with T2D. However, estimated effect sizes are imprecise and the effect on inflammation is still unknown. Furthermore, trials to date have used resource intensive interventions. Thus, the present trial aims to study the effect of a primarily online plant-based dietary program on (cardio)vascular risk factors in persons with T2D. Additionally, adherence and factors influencing adherence will be investigated. Participants will be randomized to the intervention or control group. The intervention group will be guided to transition to a plant-based dietary pattern using an online platform and online sessions. Researchers will compare the intervention group to the control group, that continues with usual diet, to see if the cardiovascular risk profile of the intervention group improves.

The Effects of the GOLO for Life® Plan With Release Supplement on Glycemic Control and Weight in...
Type 2 DiabetesObese1 moreThe objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of the GOLO for Life® Plan (G4LP) and Release supplementation on glycemic control and weight in overweight and obese adults with Type 2 Diabetes. The change in glycemic control from baseline at Days 90 and 180 following the G4LP and supplementation with Release will be assessed. Additionally, the safety and tolerability of the G4LP and Release supplementation will be measured by the occurrence of and/or changes in pre-emergent and post-emergent adverse events (AEs).

Risk of Hypoglycemia in the Transition From Inpatient to Outpatient Setting. Comparative Study of...
Diabetes MellitusType 2 Treated With InsulinThe association of insulin degludec with liraglutide in the same device (IDegLira) is a potent but at the same time safe drug that reduces the risk of hypoglycemia when compared to a basal or basal-bolus insulin schedule. The DUAL (Dual Action of Liraglutide and Insulin Degludec) studies are the pivotal studies of this combination. Specifically, the DUAL VII study has demonstrated that ideglira is a non-inferior drug in terms of glycemic control versus a basal-bolus schedule in patients in the outpatient setting who have failed basal insulin. Although the basal-bolus insulin plus correction schedule is frequently used in hospitalized patients with hyperglycemia, outpatient management with a complex insulin schedule creates challenges that are difficult to mitigate due to limited time for patient education during an acute illness and limited access to the physician responsible for post-discharge diabetes management. The use of IDegLira has not been evaluated in clinical studies in the hospital discharge setting where the authors believe it has great potential because it offers similar potency to the basal-bolus scheme but with greater safety with respect to hypoglycemia and less complexity for the patient because it is associated with fewer applications and less need for capillary self-monitoring. For this reason, in the hospital-home transition scenario, ideglira therapy in patients with poor metabolic control and requiring intensification therapy is proposed as an alternative to the basal-bolus scheme.

To Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of JW0201 Added on in Patients With T2DM
Type 2 Diabetes MellitusA multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, parallel, phase Ⅲ study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of JW0201 added on in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have inadequate glycemic control with C2202 and C2204

Inulin Supplementation in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes
DiabetesThe aim of this study is to compare the glycemic and metabolic control of type 1 diabetic patients in replacement therapy with insulin, comparing those treated with a supplementation of prebiotics (inulin) and those treated with a placebo. Therefore, the primary objective of the study is represented by the proportion of patients with better glycemic control (basal and post-prandial euglycemia time) and optimal metabolic control (HbA1c, lipid profile, C-RP).
