Active clinical trials for "Glucose Metabolism Disorders"

Metabolic syndrome and resulting downstream health effects remains a growing health concern. In published trials, the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) assists behavioral changes efforts, leading to improved adherence and results from diet and exercise changes in individuals with obesity, pre-diabetes and diabetes. Mobile health (mHealth) platforms provide satisfactory, easy-to-use tools that help participants in the pursuit of weight change goals. We hypothesize that the use of CGM data and targeted coaching and nutrition education will assist with weight optimization goals in the general (non-diabetic) population using the Signos mHealth platform, with associated health benefits.

Different types of statins show different influences on glycometabolism. There are no systemic analyses of the effects that statins exert on the metabolism of glucoses so far in China. This research aims to compare impacts on the glycometabolism of pitavastatin in AMI patients with atorvastatin and to accumulate data for guiding the utilization of statins.

This is a multi-center, open-label study to assess the feasibility and preliminary safety of the Endogenex Device for endoscopic duodenal mucosal regeneration in patients with type 2 Diabetes inadequately controlled on 2-3 non-insulin glucose-lowering medications.

Hyperglycemia following meals in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a common problem. Recently, our group found that oral consumption of the ketone metabolite, 3-hydroxybutyrate (3-OHB), effectively stimulates insulin secretion and delays gastric emptying.The aim of this study is to investigate the dose/response relationship between 3-OHB servings of 0, 10, 20 and 40 grams 30 minutes before an OGTT and, ii) investigate the role of timing by serving 20 grams of 3-OHB at different timepoints ahead of an OGTT (0, 30 and 60 minutes)

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of GLP-1RA on blood glucose, body weight, glucose and lipid metabolism and fat distribution in overweight/obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

This is a 26-week randomized, free-living, open-label, two-arm, two-phase, crossover trial. Participants will receive two interventions at different phases, including the Android artificial pancreas system(AndroidAPS-rt-CGM) and sensor-augment pump(SAP), and use marketed rapid-acting insulin analogs (insulin Aspart, insulin Lispro, or insulin Glulisine) normally used in their usual clinical care. The safety and efficacy of AndroidAPS-rt-CGM and SAP in adult T1DM with suboptimal glycemic control will be compared to explore whether the use of AndroidAPS-rt-CGM in adult T1DM with suboptimal glycemic control will be associated with better glycemic control with no increased hypoglycemia.

The purpose of this study is to learn more about the safety and efficacy of tirzepatide compared to placebo in children or teenagers with type 2 diabetes taking metformin, or basal insulin, or both. The overall study will last about 60 weeks with up to 14 clinic visits and 6 phone visits. Clinic visits will include blood sample collection, physical exam and questionnaire.

Many adults who are overweight have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) which disrupts sleep and makes it difficult to breath during the night. OSA increases the risk for a person to become insulin resistant and diabetic. It is not known why OSA causes this problem, i.e., whether it is disrupted sleep or lack of oxygen., which can change how the body handles glucose in adipose tissue, muscle tissue and liver. The purpose of this research study is to determine the key issues and mechanisms responsible for dysregulated glucose metabolism in people with OSA. The investigators will do this by comparing glucose metabolism in people who have OSA, and those who do not, and by evaluating the effect of treating OSA by providing continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or simply oxygen during the night. The proposed study will evaluate the primary causes(s) (hypoxia, sleep fragmentation, or both) and pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for the OSA-associated metabolic abnormalities. Knowing the primary cause of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for the OSA-associated metabolic abnormalities could help develop potentially novel therapeutic strategies to provide treatment for adults in improving OSA and associated comorbidities.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by hyperglycemia in the absence of treatment, positioned in the first places of prevalence and mortality in the Mexican population. Adherence to treatment is a central element to prevent complications of the disease, where the active participation of the patient in his or her treatment is fundamental. Despite institutional healthcare efforts to promote this element, there is no clarity in the Clinical Practice Guidelines aimed at the attention of people with T2DM on how to achieve it. The aim of this project will be to evaluate the effect of an intervention based on Contingency Behavior Analysis on treatment adherence, quality of life and glycemic level in people with newly diagnosed T2DM. Pre-experimental design with pretest and posttest measurements. The Dependent Variable will be an intervention based on Contingency Behavior Analysis. The Independent Variables will be adherence to treatment, quality of life and glycemic level. The power calculation suggests an n = 38, using sequential non-probability sampling. People older than 18 years with less than 5 years of T2DM diagnosis will be included. Pretest and posttest differences, effect size and correlations between measurement variables will be analyzed. It is expected that the intervention based on Contingency Behavior Analysis will encourage the active participation of people with T2DM, improving their adherence to treatment, glycemic level and quality of life. Considering that the Clinical Practice Guidelines emphasize the importance of therapeutic adherence through the active participation of the patient and his/her environment, it is expected that this project will provide the tools for behavioral change that so far are not included in public health in Mexico.

Pilot study to evaluate the effect of real time continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM) on young-adults with insulin-treated diabetes, who are defined as high risk due to suboptimal HbA1c (blood glucose control) or a history of hospital admissions for high blood glucoses. Hypothesis: RT-CGM provided to young adults with suboptimal blood glucose control, has a beneficial impact on HbA1c and hospital admissions for high blood glucoses. We will use data from this pilot work to inform a larger powered study to address this knowledge gap.
