Active clinical trials for "Hyperglycemia"

Fibersym® is a RS4-type resistant modified wheat starch in which over 85% of the total starch is resistant starch as measured by AOAC method 991.43. It is meant to be consumed on a regular basis and doses up to 33g/day can be tolerated. The effect of a Fibersym-containing meal on postprandial glucose and insulin levels when compared to a control meal, where both meals contain the same amount of available carbohydrate, is not known. This study therefore investigated the acute effect of a Fibersym cookie and a control cookie matched for available carbohydrate after a 3-day habituation period.

The present study determined the effects light, medium, and dark roasted, brewed coffees on blood glucose responses in normal (n = 19) subjects.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether berries are effective in lowering blood glucose and insulin responses to meals containing starch or sucrose.

The purpose of this study is to compare ways of giving advice and providing support to improve diet and physical activity in adult primary care patients with elevated body mass index and dysglycemia.

Objective: to determine which regimen results in best glycemic control and safety profile, expressed as glucose values within target range and occurrence of hypoglycemia. Secondary objective is to compare patient satisfaction, clinical outcomes and toxicity. Study design: Randomized open label cross-over study Study population: Patients ≥ 18 years, who developed glucocorticoid induced hyperglycemia requiring initiation or adjustment of antihyperglycemic agents in a previous chemotherapy cycle. Patient should have ≥2 cycles of chemotherapy scheduled, with 3-10 consecutive days of ≥12,5mg prednisone-equivalent glucocorticoid and a wash-out period of 4-38 days between each cycle. Intervention: subjects will be treated by insulin regimen A and B in random order during two consecutive cycles of chemotherapy. A) intermediate acting insulin 0.01 IU / mg prednisone-equivalent / kg body weight once daily subcutaneous B) Short-acting insulin according to sliding scale regimen, dose adjusted to current grade of hyperglycemia. Main study parameters: Difference in fraction of blood glucose measurements (BGM) within target range and occurrence of hypoglycemia. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Both study treatments are just a slight variation in regular care for glucocorticoid induced hyperglycemia. Glycemic control is likely to improve due to treatments and increased counselling. All subjects will receive both treatment regimens. The burden consists of 16-32 extra BGMs over 2 x 4-10 days, wearing the glucose sensor, 1 venipuncture (if HbA1c and creatinin are not determined in routine laboratory within 3 months before start), and 1 randomization visit to the outpatient clinic. Potential risk is the occurrence of hypoglycemia, as is present in any insulin therapy. The investigators account for this risk by giving subjects dietary advice and education how to prevent, recognize and treat hypoglycemia.

Anesthetic preconditioning (APC, a brief exposure to an anesthetic gas) has become an area of intense research interest because of its ability to protect tissue and organs from injury resulting from a cessation of blood flow and then a re-establishment of flow. The blood vessel lining plays a key role in this injury. This research will examine, in human volunteers, several important modifiers of APC in human blood vessels: high blood sugar, vitamin C, and statin drugs. Thus, the proposed studies will advance the investigators' understanding of mechanisms of this injury in humans and explore important modifiers of APC protection from injury.

30 type 2 diabetic patients will be PET-scanned twice ( half of the patients heart-PET, half of the patients CNS-PET) in random order with infusions of placebo or GLP-1-analogue during hyperglycemic clamp to uncover the metabolic effects of GLP-1-analogues in perspectives of intervention of macrovascular late diabetic pathology such as stroke and AMI. Earlier studies have revealed tendencies towards steady glucose metabolism in the CNS despite fluctuations in blood sugar when infusing native GLP-1.

The purpose of the study is to characterize the changes in amino acid, lipid and glucose metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes exposed to acute hyperglycemia. Moreover we wish to assess the effect of acute hyperglycemia on cardiac output.

To compare intravenous levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin regarding their risk on the corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation and dysglycemia in diabetic and non-diabetic patients.

In Singapore, the Ministry of Health has declared a "War on Diabetes" and major efforts will be made to develop and deploy programs to prevent diabetes. One of the cornerstones of diabetes management involves dietary modifications to reduce postprandial hyperglycaemia. However, implementation of a low GI diet is highly complex requiring the individual to choose foods from a long list which are primarily based on western consumption patterns. Many foods in the Asian diet, which largely consist of carbohydrates such as white rice, noodles and other flour based products, are not represented. An alternative solution will require innovative ways to alter commonly available food products that will not only help reduce postprandial glycaemia but also preserve the sensory characteristics of the foods to create a new generation of food products both functional and palatable. One such approach is the incorporation of plant compounds that lower the glucose absorption from foods. The aim of the project is to measure the GI of carbohydrate-based food with edible plant derived molecules. Natural, plant-derived anthocyanin will be incorporated into bread to produce low GI bread. Anthocyanins are well known for its anti-oxidant activity and recent studies reported that anthocyanins also had an inhibitory activity against digestive enzymes that break down carbohydrates. It can potentially inhibit amylase, and suppress the increase in postprandial glucose level from starch. Bread is a carbohydrate-rich product, which contains a high amount of rapidly digestible starch, and therefore many of them have a high GI. This study aims to determine the glycaemic effects of anthocyanin fortified bread. The effort is designed to enable and inform population interventions that will have an impact on the health of the population in a sustainable manner by introducing innovative foods into the food supply that are 'health promoting' based on rigorous human experiments and are acceptable to the public and other major stakeholders.
