Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus"

The investigators assume that an intervention program that includes home visits and trainings of diabetes' nurse and dietitian will lead to an improvement of the patients' metabolic balance, a decrease in complications' rate, a reduction of hospitalizations and an economic streamlining.

To evaluate the risk of cardiovascular events associated with medication use for controlling blood glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol levels in men and women with diabetes treated in primary care

Type 2 diabetes is a disorder of the metabolic system that greatly affects individual health and imposes significant cost for society on health care. It is necessary to initiate research with emphasis on improvement on quality of life and reduce the serious complications as a result of type 2 diabetes. In type 2 diabetes insulin resistance and impairment of insulin secretion by beta-cells are the major pathophysiological defects and characterized by raised plasma glucose levels. Today, little is known about gene regulation and biochemical pathways involved in the disease. Bioinformatics and gene expression microarrays (GEM) will be applied to gain insight into the molecular pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes. The simultaneous monitoring of thousands of genes in parallel can identify novel genes and entire biochemical pathways that are dysregulated at the transcriptional level. Affymetrix Inc. chips or spotted arrays will be applied as DNA microarray tools. Bioinformatic software programs and databases will be employed as data mining tools in order to perform statistical analysis, cluster analysis and biochemical pathway analysis. Biopsies from skeletal muscle and adipose tissue from both diabetics and nondiabetics will be applied. Changes in genes and biochemical pathways between diabetics and nondiabetics and functional relationships between adipose tissue and skeletal muscle will be investigated. Grouping of subtypes in type 2 diabetes will be performed and a classification system will be constructed. Building a classifier may provide better and more precise diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. Major advances in health science of type 2 diabetes thus seems to be promising and paving the way for individual treatment based on a more precise diagnosis.

Major cardiovascular events are greatest in liver transplant recipients with sustained post-transplantation diabetes1. However, the optimal A1c target after transplantation has not been studied. The objective is to understand the optimal A1c target post liver and combined liver and kidney transplant. Strict A1c control will improve mortality and cardiovascular risk post liver and combined liver and kidney transplant and improve complications post liver and combined liver and kidney transplant.

The main purpose of this study is to determine whether combining meal, glucose and insulin data in a web-based system will improve management of type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). No study drug will be given. The study will last about 18 weeks.

The broad, long-term objectives are to generate and test hypotheses leading to theories that guide improved care of patients with gestational diabetes. The purpose of this chart review study is to evaluate the Vanderbilt Gestational Diabetes Self-Management Education Program and Quality Improvement Plan in optimizing metabolic control and improving health outcomes during pregnancy with gestational diabetes.

This study is in the area of Type 2 diabetes and genetics Healthy Volunteers and those with mild type 2 diabetes may be eligible to participate This study is searching for genes that may affect the body's processing/digestion of glucose/sugar

The purpose of this study is to look at the blood sugar control in participants with type 2 diabetes previously treated with premix insulins and initiating treatment with IDegLira. Participants will get IDegLira as prescribed by study doctor regardless of participant's decision to participate in the study. Decision to initiate treatment with IDegLira will be made by study doctor independent from the study. The study will last for about 36 weeks. Participants will be asked questions about their health and diabetes treatment and lab tests as part of their normal doctor's appointment.

This study is conducted in Asia. The aim of this non-interventional study is to evaluate the current status of diabetes management, control, and complications in diabetic subjects in Sri Lanka.

Evaluation of clinical outcomes (specifically cardiovascular outcomes like hospitalization for heart failure), and healthcare cost, and resource utilization, among patients on empagliflozin as an add-on therapy to metformin versus patients on sulfonylureas as an add-on therapy to metformin in patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) and Cardiovascular Disease (CVD).
