Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

This study is a randomized trial that evaluates the effect of metformin addition or not to standard care on the duration of diabetes remission after bariatric surgery.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) increases susceptibility to Tuberculosis (TB) and worsens TB patient outcomes. The number of patients with combined TB and DM now outnumbers that of combined TB and HIV and it has been estimated that 15-30% of TB disease may be attributable to diabetes globally. This may be expected to rise substantially as DM prevalence increases. Treatment of Latent TB Infection (LTBI) in this population will likely have a significant clinical benefit. Similar to HIV-infected individuals, those with DM might benefit from therapy to prevent the development of TB disease. Current international guidelines do not recommend LTBI management in people with DM, but this is because no studies have examined the risk-benefit ratio of such an intervention. To date, no RCTs have been conducted to investigate the efficacy and safety of preventive treatment of LTBI in DM patients. Based on evidence on effectiveness, safety, and treatment completion rates, 3HP has been selected as the regimen of choice for this study of African people living with DM. People living with DM will be randomized to 3HP or placebo to determine the efficacy of 3HP in the prevention of TB disease in this population. PROTID's preventive treatment of LTBI among people with DM will generate the first solid evidence to support or refute the use of preventive treatment against TB in people with DM.

Newly released guidelines recommend increased physical activity (PA) and reduced sedentary behaviors (SB) to improve glycemia and prevent the onset and progression of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Typically, 30-60 min bouts of PA are advocated per day. Although this approach increases PA, it does not decrease the length of the sedentary periods through the day. This is important because recent epidemiological data suggest that frequently interrupting sedentary time improves glucose control even in people who achieve the recommended levels of PA. Preliminary experimental data suggest that breaking up prolonged sedentary time by performing multiple short bouts (5 min) of PA throughout the day, may improve glycemia more than performing a single continuous bout of PA, and thereby potentially be a novel strategy to prevent T2D. The improvement in glycemia was observed even when the total amount of PA and total energy expenditure were matched, suggesting that how and when PA is performed over the day may matter more than how much PA is done. However, important gaps in knowledge remain including: (1) whether similar benefits on glucose control would be observed in adults with prediabetes, a clinically relevant population that is at high risk of developing T2D; (2) whether these effects are sustained or diluted over time, and (3) what are the mechanistic underpinnings. To address these gaps, the investigators propose to measure the acute and chronic effects of PA breaks on glucose control and the underlying mechanisms in individuals at risk of developing T2D. Sedentary men and women with prediabetes (n=66, 50% F) will be randomized to either an intervention designed to interrupt SB with 5-min bouts of brisk walking performed hourly for 9 hours/day, 5 days/week (BREAK) or a control condition consisting of 45-min of brisk walking performed as a single daily continuous bout, 5 days/week (ONE). The two 3-months interventions will be matched for total active time.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of innovative integrated care in pre-frail or frail patients with diabetes over 65 years old. The main questions it aims to answer are: To establish innovative integrated care for frail elderly patients with diabetes combined with nutrition and lifestyle guidance. To evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention compared with general outpatient care. Participants will receive 12 weeks of structured care including specialist care, integrated assessment, group health education, one-on-one nutrition and lifestyle guidance, online and face-to-face support group, and case management. Researchers will compare general outpatient care to see its effects on frailty, physical function, and blood sugar control.

The main objective of this type 2 hybrid implementation effectiveness trial is to implement a contextually appropriate preventive intervention for 8 weeks face to face group foot and ankle exercises for people with diabetic foot in the primary care of the city of Limeira/SP, through the training of physical therapists from the Family Health Care Center and Primary Care (NASF) team. The study will monitor the implementation itself and the clinical outcomes: clinical and functional status and quality of life.

This study aims to test the effectiveness of a Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) prevention program for individuals who have been diagnosed with prediabetes compared to a T2D educational control group. Project health is an obesity prevention program and has produced a 42% to 53% reduction in future onset of overweight/obesity and also produced greater reductions in negative affect compared to assessment-only controls that persisted. Project Health has been adapted to prevent onset of T2D among individuals with prediabetes. The study aims to test the effectiveness of Project Health at reducing BMI, HbA1c levels, increase physical activity and improve glucose control.

The aim of this randomised controlled trial is to investigate the effectiveness of periodic CGM (continuous glucose monitoring) to support a person-centered approach versus self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) in adults with type 2 diabetes on glucose control and patient reported outcomes.

Randomized, controlled, multicenter, pragmatic, pivotal trial with open-label extension evaluating the hypothesis that PHOENIX, an investigational digital therapeutic intended to help patients with type 2 diabetes improve their glycemic control, will lower hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) compared to a control application added to usual care and across a broad range of patients in a real-world setting

A prospective, randomized, open-label, controlled clinical trial will be conducted at the endocrinology department - Ain Shams University (ASU) hospital. Sixty patients will be enrolled into the study. 30 of which will receive dapagliflozin 10mg tab once daily and the other thirty will receive their standard antidiabetic therapy for 12 weeks.

The primary hypothesis is to investigate whether a low calorie diet for 7 weeks followed by continuous lifestyle advice is an effective option to achieve an improvement in glucose control as measured by HbA1c after 52 and 104 weeks as compared to baseline values in obese type 2 diabetes patients on either tablet or insulin treatment. The secondary hypothesis is to investigate whether the weight reduction therapy also has significant impact on various anthropometric, clinical and metabolic parameters associated with obesity.
