Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

Diabetes is a broad-spectrum metabolic disorder that causes a defect in the organism's carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism processes due to insulin deficiency or impaired insulin effect. Diabetes requires continuous medical care and causes chronic, severe mortality and morbidity. More than 90% of all people with diabetes worldwide suffer from Type 2 DM. Diabetes self-management includes self-monitoring of blood glucose levels, knowing and managing the symptoms of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, adherence to diet, physical exercise, and diabetic foot care. Considering the high prevalent and undesirable consequences of diabetes in the world, it is necessary to benefit from new educational technologies and tools. One of these technologies is gamification, which increases the quality of education as an effective educational tool, creates motivation and enthusiasm, and develops a sense of competition in the target audience. This study plans to develop a game that will include virtual coaching to increase the self-management and glycemic control of patients with type 2 diabetes.

The proposed study will use a randomized clinical trial design with non-equivalent control group and longitudinal design to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of the Diabetes LIVE JustICE application. The design will incorporate repeated measures at 0, 6, and 12 weeks. Outcome variables will include recruitment assessments, participation, engagement, user experience, and measures proximally related to behavior change - e.g., diabetes knowledge, diabetes-related distress, diabetes self-care, and social support and clinical outcomes -e.g., glycemic control. Focus group interviewing will be conducted to evaluate acceptability among intervention group participants.

The study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental study in order to compare the fasting blood glucose values measured by puncturing the fingertips and using the intravenous route of patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, and to determine the effect on patient satisfaction. The blood glucose measurement via the intravenous catheter has an effect on increasing the comfort of the patient compared to the fingertip measurement. It is thought that information can be provided to increase patient satisfaction.

Co-ingesting protein with carbohydrate is an effective way to improve postprandial glucose handling. The investigators have isolated and identified a bioactive protein extracted from seaweed. The investigators aim to explore how varying doses of seaweed protein influence postprandial glycaemia and insulinaemia in a population with type 2 diabetes.

The study proposes to rigorously evaluate a proactive, culturally responsive care navigator intervention targeting younger-onset Latinx individuals with a new T2D diagnosis (AURORA [Active Outreach to Younger Latinx]) within Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC).

The aim of this randomised control trial is to investigate the role of fasted exercise on cardiometabolic health. Participants will be assigned to one of three conditions, fasted exercise, fed exercise and control (no exercise). Participants in the exercise groups will complete four weeks of moderate intensity cycling exercise, three times per week, either in the fasted or fed state according to their group assignment. Experimental trials involving anthropometric and cardiometabolic disease risk factor measurements as well as metabolic responses to a subsequent meal ingestion following exercise will be compared pre-intervention and post intervention.

Caloric restriction (and RYGB) improves insulin action and lowers fasting glucose, glucagon and EGP, without changes in postprandial EGP and glucagon concentrations. Caloric restriction also improves hepatic steatosis and lowers fasting AA. These changes may represent restoration of glucagon's hepatic actions. This experiment will determine whether caloric restriction improves glucagon's actions on hepatic amino acid, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in T2DM in comparison to a baseline experiment performed separately in people with T2DM.

Digital health interventions have the potential to help patients with diabetes effectively manage their disease at home. Many digital health studies provide patients with educational materials and self-care recommendations. The digital health interventions allow patients to conveniently access these materials on their phones or computers, and enable care teams to provide essential knowledge for diabetes management. Digital health based education intervention is a reasonably inexpensive method that offers high coverage and motivational encouragement to help patients improve their health at home.This study aims to provide patients with timely education for diabetes management and has the potential to improve clinical outcomes for patients with diabetes.

This study is a randomized controlled trial to study the effect of the use of a risk stratification screening tool for high- and low-risk gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and the implementation of a new low-impact care pathway for women with low-risk GDM. The study will measure how well the screening tool and new care pathway are used, and the effect of the new low-impact care pathway on glycemic control, perinatal outcomes (large for gestational age, rate of labor induction, mode of delivery, obstetric anal sphincter injury, neonatal hypoglycemia, neonatal anthropometry) and health resource utilization in women with GDM that are at low-risk of dietary therapy failure.

The objectives of SHINE study are to confirm the safety aspects of the SHINE SYSTEM. Moreover, the goal of this clinical investigation is the initial evaluation of sensor's performance by assessing sensor's ability to qualitatively detect the appropriate analytes in subjects with diabetes of 18 years and older.
