Effect of Glargine Insulin on Glucose Control in Hospitalized Patients Who Receive Tube Feedings...
Type 2 DiabetesHyperglycemiaThe purpose of this study is to determine if the early initiation of a long acting insulin (i.e. glargine) with supplemental doses of short acting regular (SSR) insulin in hospitalized patients with diabetes who are fed using tube feedings reduces the frequency of high and low blood sugar levels when compared to use of SSR insulin alone.
Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitor (DPP4i) for the Control of Hyperglycemia in Patients With COVID-19...
HyperglycemiaCovid19Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been a world health issue during the last months, affecting mostly countries with a high metabolic risk, like Mexico. Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have an increased risk of any kind of infection as well as an increased mortality risk. Hyperglycemia has been established as an important predictor of mortality in patients with T2D and SARS-CoV-2. The standard treatment of hyperglycemia in hospitalized patients has been basen on insulin schemes, but recently evidence suggest the utility of some other drugs, reducing the risk of hypoglucemia and increasing the probability of a proper metabolic control. The goal of this study is to compare the utility of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP4i) as a combination with insulin on metabolic control and prognosis in hospitalized patients with SARS-CoV-2 and hyperglycemia.
Effect of Eriocitrin Supplementation in Subjects With Intermediate Hyperglycemia
Pre DiabetesFirst, it will be evaluated whether supplementation of eriocitrin reduces hyperglycemia and insulin resistance, significantly reducing the risk of diabetes. The effects of eriocitrin on the lipid profile, inflammatory, endothelial, hepatic and renal biomarkers will also be evaluated. It is expected that metabolic parameters that constitute risk factors for diabetes and associated chronic diseases are expected to be improved by supplementation with eriocitrin
Efficacy of Glucosanol™ in Reducing Post-prandial Glucose Levels in Overweight Subjects
HyperglycemiaPostprandialGlucosanol had previously been proven to be effective in aiding weight loss and weight loss maintenance. Studies have also shown that Glucosanol (also known as Phaseolamin), was effective in aiding weight loss and also has evidence on reducing post-prandial glucose levels. This study is to enrich the existing evidence on dose-dependent post-prandial glucose effects of Glucosanol
Weight Loss, Blood Sugar and Blood Lipid Effects of Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) Impregnated Mucoadhesive...
Metabolic SyndromeMorbid Obesity2 moreThe goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of two different daily doses of tetrahydrocannabivarin impregnated mouth strips in healthy non-diabetic obese adults. The main questions to answer are: Is the low dose treatment superior to placebo for losing weight, abdominal girth, cholesterol levels and blood glucose levels? Is the low dose treatment superior to placebo for losing weight, abdominal girth, cholesterol levels and blood glucose levels? Is one dose better than the other dose? Participants will take either the low dose, high dose or placebo dose daily for ninety days and have physical measurements and blood tests obtained at the beginning and the end of the study.
ED Management of Severe Hyperglycemia: A Clinical Trial
HyperglycemiaDiabetes Mellitus4 moreEmergency Department (ED) patients with severe hyperglycemia will be randomized to two treatment goals: discharge glucose less than 600 mg/dL or less than 350 mg/dL. Randomization is stratified by whether the chief complaint is "High Blood Sugar" in the electronic medical record or other.
Impact of Dopamine Infusion on Insulin Secretion in Healthy Subjects
HyperglycemiaSepsisThis is a clinical study of a drug named dopamine and how it affects our bodies ability to make and secrete insulin. Insulin is a hormone made in the pancreas that helps our body regulate sugar levels. We think that this drug decreases the amount of insulin our body makes and causes our sugar levels to be high. When you are critically ill there can be many adverse effects if you have sugar levels that are too high.
Beneficial Effect of Xylose Consumption on Postprandial Hyperglycemia
Postprandial HyperglycemiaThe present study determined the effect of Xylose consumption on postprandial hyperglycemia in normal (n=25) and hyperglycemic subjects (n=50).
BTI320 (SUGARDOWN®) on Post-Prandial Hyperglycaemia in Subjects With Pre-Diabetes
Pre-DiabetesThis is a single-centre, 16-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 3-treatment arm pilot study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BTI320 in the treatment of high risk subjects with pre-diabetes. This is a pilot study aiming to test whether taking a medicine named BTI320 that slows down carbohydrate absorption in the gut, will lower blood sugar. The study aims to recruit 60 individuals in Hong Kong. To take part in the study, subjects must have pre-diabetes, that is, they have blood sugar levels that are above normal but not reaching diabetes range. The medicine BTI320 is currently licensed as a health supplement in Hong Kong and is known alternatively as SUGARDOWN®. The investigators are comparing the effectiveness of BTI320 against a dummy tablet. Both tablets look and taste identical and during the study, subjects will not know which of these tablets they are taking. There is a 4 in 5 chance of receiving active medication and 1 in 5 chance of receiving placebo. Subjects will be followed up closely every 2 to 4 weeks for a period of time up to 22 weeks. The study visits will take between 30 minutes to 3 hours, depending on additional checks that are required on a particular visit including oral glucose tolerance test and meal tolerance test. At visits involving meal tolerance test, subjects will be required to stay for approximately 3 hours. In addition, at Visit 2, Visit 4 and 3 days before Visit 7, a continuous glucose monitoring system device will be installed. Throughout the study period, subjects will return to the study center for check-ups including careful enquiry about whether they have developed any side-effects from taking the medication, physical examination, as well as blood tests.
Gycabiane and Glycemic Control of Prediabetic Subjects
HyperglycemiaThe purpose of this study is to examine the effects of supplementation Glycabiane, a dietary supplement, on glycemic control of overweight prediabetic subjects.
