Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

Our study aims to determine the incidence of undiagnosed and poorly controlled diabetes among surgical patients in Singapore using preoperative HbA1c as a screening tool.

This study will compare hemoglobin a1c (HbA1c) and cardiovascular (CV) outcomes among patients with type 2 diabetes newly initiating a GLP1-receptor agonist or basal insulin.

Low glycemic index and low glycemic load diets have been shown to improve glycemic control and cardiometabolic risk factors in randomized controlled trials in people with diabetes and are associated with reduced incidence of diabetes and cardiovascular disease in prospective cohort studies inclusive of people with diabetes. These benefits have been recognized in the most recent updates of the clinical practice guidelines for the management of diabetes from the U.S., Canada, UK, and Australia. The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) also recommends low-GI/GL diets but has not updated their guidance in 15 years. To support the update of the EASD clinical practice guidelines for nutrition therapy, the investigators conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the totality of the available evidence from randomized controlled trials of the effect of low GI/GL dietary patterns on glycemic control and other established cardiometabolic risk factors in individuals with diabetes. The findings generated by this proposed knowledge synthesis will help improve the health of consumers through informing evidence-based guidelines and improving health outcomes by educating healthcare providers and patients, stimulating industry innovation, and guiding future research design.

The purpose of this study is to compare the metabolic phenotype of a range of body weights in individuals with and without Type 1 diabetes.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has many adverse effects on pregnant women and fetuses. At present, no prediction marker for GDM in early pregnancy is accepted. There is still a lack of recognized early predictors. This study was designed to identity valuable biomarkers for GDM.This was a prospective observed cohort study. 140 pregnant women were recruited in early pregnancy, and followed up to 6 weeks postpartum. Glucose challenge test and 75g oral glucose tolerance test were performed after 24 weeks of pregnancy, and GDM was diagnosed according to the latest ADA standard. Urinary samples were collected in the first (<12 weeks), second (24~28 weeks) and third (32~weeks) trimester of pregnancy. Urinary proteomics and metabolomics were analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. 15 cases of GDM women and 50 cases of control women were used for longitudinal analysis; 15 cases of GDM women and 15 cases of age matched control women were used for difference analysis.

Two hundreds patients with T2DM from the outpatient clinic of The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University will be enrolled in this study. Participating subjects will be randomly assigned into one of the 2 groups: Group A (n=100) will be placed on the short-term intensive education program alone while Group B (n=100) will be placed on the short-term intensive education as well as a holistic management for 6 months. Diabetes education: The patients of each group will undergo designated education programs in 4 subgroups. Group A and B will be given the same education classes once a week in the first month (total 4 times), 5 hours per class. The education classes will be taught by a dedicated team of diabetes specialist doctors and nurses, with the contents including a basic understanding of diabetes, diabetic diet, exercise, drug treatments and blood glucose monitoring. At the conclusion of the education classes, the patients in Group B then will undergo a weekly telephone interview with specialist nurses for 6 months to help patients resolve self-management problems while patients in Group A will not. The specialist nurses will talk individually with the patients in Group B for 10-15 min per week. The nurses will ask the patients about their results of self-blood glucose monitoring, help them find the reasons of poor blood glucose control as well as answer the patient's questions. Clinical examination: All subjects will complete Audit of Diabetes Dependent Quality of Life (ADDQoL) before education classes commence (baseline), at 3 months and 6 months (endpoint) after education classes to evaluate their quality of life. All patients will be examined for height, weight, blood pressure, FPG, PPG and HbA1c at baseline, 3 months after education classes and endpoint. A diabetes specialist nurse will measure the height, weight and blood pressure, and assist the subjects to fill the questionnaire. FPG and PPG will be determined by the hexokinase method, while HbA1c by high performance liquid chromatography.

Purpose of Study (The Effect of Non-Viscous Fibre Supplementation on Glycemic Control (NVFS & GC) in Individuals with Diabetes Mellitus. Regardless of the remarkable advancement in pharmacotherapy, diabetes mellitus remains a major concern with more than 300 millions living with its complications including CVD. Nutrition is a cornerstone in diabetes management, and increasing total dietary fibre have been shown to decrease HbA1c, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, fructosamine, and HOMA-IR. However, the main underlying mechanism is still not fully understood, and the specific type and proportion of fibre supplementation to be recommended for such individuals is still controversial. Currently, the available findings/ results from small RCTs are inconsistent. The systematic review method depends on combining data from many small studies in order a pooled estimate of the pooled effect. The purpose of this study is to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the effect of non-viscous fibre supplementation on fasting glucose and insulin in individuals with diabetes mellitus. We hope the findings of this study will play a role in developing the nutritional guidelines for individuals with diabetes mellitus.

The outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease-2019) in December 2019 has led to an unprecedented international health situation. Exceptional measures have been taken by public authorities worldwide in order to slow the spread of the virus and prevent healthcare systems from becoming overloaded. In France, a national lockdown has been established during approximately 2 months to increase social distancing and restrict population movements. Hospital routine care appointments have been cancelled, in order to reallocate medical resources towards COVID-19 units and limit contacts between patients within hospitals or waiting rooms. While the virus itself, the disease and potential treatments are currently extensively studied, little data are available on the effect of these public health decisions on the management of a chronic condition such as diabetes. The French regional CONFI-DIAB study aims at assessing the collateral impact of routine care cancellation during the national lockdown due to COVID-19 in patients with a chronic condition such as diabetes. Special attention will be given to metabolic control and access to health care. This cross-sectional study should provide information on the consequences of a global lockdown and the associated routine care cancellation on the management of diabetes, and inform future decision making in the event of a new pandemic.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease currently affecting more than 425 million people, of which one-third are people older than 65 years. In the UK, the number of people currently diagnosed with diabetes surpassed 3.8 million in 2019, with someone being diagnosed with the illness every two minutes (Diabetes.org figures). The prototype device being tested is a non-invasive blood glucose measurement system worn on the wrist. This would help people with diabetes manage their condition better and help prevent complications. The main objectives of the research are: To determine how accurate and effective the Afon prototype non-invasive blood glucose measurement system is, as compared to a gold standard invasive method. To chart the Afon device's predicted blood glucose levels over time. The study will be done with 30-50 patients. Eligible patients will have been diagnosed with diabetes (type 1 or 2) at least one year prior, be between 18 and 80 years old, and with a BMI between 18-35 kg/m2. For details of the full list of inclusion and exclusion criteria, see accompanying documentation. The trial will be conducted at the Joint Clinical Research Facility (JCRF), Institute of Life Science 2, Swansea University, SA2 8PP. Participants will attend the site for a total of 5 visits, one for screening, and four study visits, no more than 7 days apart. The study will run for one year.

During a pandemic, length of hospital stay (LOS) is critical to managing high patient volumes and preserves access to care related to non-COVID-19 for maintaining the healthcare system. Moreover, identification of prolonged hospital stay may allow physicians to reevaluate critical patients, focused delivery of specific interventions, and improve the efficiency of hospital care. Furthermore, in previous recent studies, attention has been paid to patients with diabetes and COVID-19 infection may require a prolonged LOS. However, there is little evidence on prognostic factors associated with an extension of hospitalization in mild or moderate illness due to COVID-19 infection. Therefore, it is crucial to determine the most vulnerable patients with diabetes mellitus even if they have a non-severe COVID-19 infection during the pandemic. We hypothesize that the clinically relevant inflammatory parameters may have an impact on LOS in older adults with diabetes and non-severe COVID-19 infection. Therefore, we aim to investigate whether baseline inflammatory parameters on admission hospitals as possible predictors of prolonged LOS in older adults with diabetes and non-severe COVID-19 infection during the pandemic.
