Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

This study is to evaluating the impact of low-intensity statin plus ezetimibe versus high-intensity statin therapy on risk of new-onset diabetes mellitus in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease who have prediabetes.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) compared to placebo on biomarkers of oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who are treated with metformin but did not meet the target HbA1C < 7%.

A family dyad-focused diabetes self-management for African American adults with type 2 diabetes is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) that aims to test the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of a family-dyad focused intervention on glycemic control (hemoglobin A1c) and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in African American adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

This is a randomized controlled trial to examine whether personalized guidance to increase the consumption of fiber rich food items according to the Dutch dietary guidelines, compared to usual care, improves health of individuals with type 2 diabetes.

The primary aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of single-administration low-dose glucagon and split-administration low-dose glucagon to placebo for prevention of exercise-induced hypoglycemia in people with type 1 diabetes using insulin pumps and multiple daily injections (MDI). The secondary aim is to compare the accuracy of three continuous glucose monitors (CGM) during and after exercise in inpatient and outpatient settings.

The goal of this prospective study is to determine whether there is superiority of 10 Twizzlers to the 50 gram glucola beverage for screening for GDM in a population based study.

The investigators intend to perform a landmark study to answer whether a combined CVD screening and treatment strategy is beneficial for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) without known cardiovascular disease (CVD) The investigators aim to answer the following main research questions: Do screening detected high-risk patients benefit of intensified medical treatment? Is it safe to de-intensify medical treatment among patients with a screening detected low risk of CVD? Does a CVD screening and treatment program improve patient reported health status? Cardiovascular risk remains high in patients with T2DM but unevenly distributed. Our current risk stratification strategies are far from optimal leading to both under- and over-treatment of patients. In recent years, noninvasive imaging of subclinical coronary artery disease by cardiac CT has improved considerably. This allows for easily accessible evaluations of coronary atherosclerosis burden and composition - exceptionally strong imaging biomarkers of future cardiovascular disease. An increasing amount of data suggests that cardiac CT may permit better risk stratification in patients with T2DM. At the same time, the pharmaceutical treatment of T2DM has changed with several new and expensive drug classes, each individually documented to reduce the risk for new or recurrent cardiovascular events. Thus, these new drugs may improve outcome in high-risk patients, whereas they may be wasteful and only lead to side effects in low-risk patients. In the Inten-CT study, the investigators combine these two pivotal developments. The investigators intend to improve risk stratification of patients with T2DM by use of cardiac CT and, based on this knowledge, the investigators wish to investigate if upgraded medical treatment in the high-risk population is beneficial and if de-intensified treatment in the low-risk population is safe. As a secondary aim, the investigators wish to investigate if such a strategy improves patient reported health status. These aims are in agreement with one of the important health indicators from The Danish College of General Practitioners: "We find and treat the patients and let the healthy stay healthy". The investigators intend with this strategy to improve not only cardiovascular outcome among patients with T2DM, but also their quality of life. The Inten-CT study is an investigator-initiated open-label event-driven randomized controlled trial including patients with T2DM stratified according to screen detected coronary artery calcification. The investigators expect inclusion of 7300 patients in 2 years and a mean follow-up period of 5 years.

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if a complex intervention called SMARThealth Pregnancy can improve the detection and management of high-risk conditions during pregnancy and in the first year after birth in women living in rural India. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can screening of pregnant and postpartum women using the SMARThealth Pregnancy intervention decrease anaemia prevalence at 1 year after birth? Can the SMARThealth Pregnancy intervention improve postnatal testing after a pregnancy affected by hypertension and diabetes? Participants in the intervention group will be screened by their community health worker at several timepoints during pregnancy, and in the first year after birth using the SMARThealth Pregnancy tablet App. The community health worker will ask about each woman about her medical and obstetric history, then measure her blood pressure, haemoglobin (using a point of care device), and offer a referral for a glucose tolerance test when indicated. Women who screen positive for anaemia, hypertension or diabetes will be given advice and referred to the primary care doctor. The primary care doctor will have a complimentary tablet app to facilitate electronic referral and evidence-based prescribing when indicated. The comparison group will have usual antenatal and postnatal care.

To conduct a pragmatic, non-blinded randomized controlled trial (pRCT) of immediate in-patient postpartum OGTT prior to delivery discharge (intervention) versus 4-12 week outpatient postpartum OGTT (current standard care) to improve the frequency of post-partum diabetes screening among individuals with a pregnancy complicated by GDM.

To evaluate the efficacy of arginase inhibition on endothelial function in patients with type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes.
