Risk Model of Cognitive Impairment in Diabetes
Type 2 Diabetes MellitusMild Cognitive ImpairmentDevelopment and validation of a risk model for predicting the risk of mild cognitive impairment among individuals of type 2 diabetes.
CArdioMetabolism and Atherosclerotic PlaqUe progreSsion
Coronary Artery DiseaseDiabetes Mellitus4 moreSystematic metabolic diseases are closely related to prevalence and progression of atherosclerosis. This prospective cohort consecutively enrolls patients with coronary artery disease compliacted with metabolic abnormalities such as diabtetes, prediabetes, obesity, chronic kidney disease and hyperuricemia.
Monogenic Diabetes Misdiagnosed as Type 1
Diabetes MellitusType 16 moreThe study has two aims: To (1a) determine the frequency of monogenic diabetes misdiagnosed as type 1 diabetes (T1D) and (2) to define an algorithm for case selection. To discover novel genes whose mutations cause monogenic diabetes misdiagnosed as T1D.
iCaReMe Global Registry
Type 2 DiabetesHypertension2 moreTo provide real world data on patient characteristics, disease management, healthcare utilization, and outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes, Hypertension, Heart failure and/or Chronic kidney diseases
Who Will Benefit From Bariatric Surgery for Diabetes?
Diabetes MellitusType 21 moreA study investigating the influence of fat distribution, genetic susceptibility markers for type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and fat distribution, epigenetic and transcriptomic changes and gut hormone responses to a mixed meal on diabetes remission following bariatric surgery.
Bone Health After Bariatric Surgery in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
Bariatric SurgeryBone Health4 moreBackground: Bone fragility is a complication of type 2 diabetes. Diabetes treatments may ameliorate or deteriorate bone fragility in this population. Bariatric surgery is gaining in popularity in people with type 2 diabetes and may impact bone health. Objectives: To evaluate the impact of the most popular bariatric procedure worldwide (sleeve gastrectomy (SG)) on vBMD by QCT in patients with type 2 diabetes; Secondary aims: (1) to identify the determinants of vBMD after bariatric surgery in patients with type 2 diabetes; (2) to compare vBMD and its potential determinants after bariatric surgery with obese controls without diabetes as well as with controls without obesity and normoglycemia.
Study of Human Adipose Tissue (LOSHAT)
Weight ChangeBody7 moreThe investigators will study the influence of initial fat cell size/number and adipose function (in particular lipolysis) on weight development over very long time periods (years). By comparing investigations of fat biopsies or blood samples obtained at baseline, the investigators will determine the association between adipose morphology/function and changes in weight or development of metabolic complications (e.g. metabolic syndrome, glucose intolerance, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia and hypertension).
Zinc Supplementation Improves Cardiovascular Morbidity in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus
Diabetes MellitusType 21 moreOral zinc supplementation in patients with diabetes mellitus can improve glycemic control. However, there is reluctance to recommend zinc supplements to these patients because there is no evidence that the zinc-dependent improvement in glycemic control offers protections from the cardiovascular morbidities associated with diabetes mellitus, especially myocardial infarction and thrombotic stroke. The investigators are conducting a randomized, double blind, cross over study to test the hypothesis that oral zinc supplementation will block the enhanced cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and platelet reactivity that lead to myocardial infarction and stroke in research participants with diabetes mellitus.
Diabetes Diagnosis During Acute Admissions (FIND-IT)
Diabete Type 2People with type 2 diabetes are two-and-a-half times more likely to experience heart failure and twice more likely to have a heart attack compared to people without diabetes. People coming to hospital often have unknown hyperglycaemia. It is thought that three quarters of people admitted to the Coronary care unit with a myocardial infarction have hyperglycaemia and over a third of whom are undiagnosed with diabetes and over 40% with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). All of these patients are at greater risk of poor outcomes in the presence of uncontrolled hyperglycaemia. Patients presenting to A&E have routine bloods taken for condition which are they are being investigated and treated for. Therefore the aim of the study is to identify the prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes (HbA1c >48mmol/mol) or impaired glucose tolerance/pre-diabetes (HbA1c >39mmol/mol) in patients attending the accident and emergency department or acute medical unit and to see if this is a good screening measure for diagnosis of diabetes. This project will help identify those undiagnosed with glucose intolerance (T2D and IGT) and instigate appropriate treatment and improve outcomes for this group of patients. This will in the long term reduce the burden to the NHS. This project will help in the development of guidance for diagnosis of T2D in an acute setting and treatment for hospital admission and continued care. This project will include 10,000 consecutive patients over the age of 30 years attending the A&E or AMU departments of Tameside and Glossop Integrated Care NHS FT. All patients will be screened for glucose intolerance with a blood test in which patients' blood would be taken anyway for clinical reasons and the laboratory will perform an HbA1c investigation on the sample collected.
The Next Generation Longitudinal Birth Cohort Diabetes Study
Type 2 DiabetesGestational Diabetes MellitusThe overall aim of this project is to understand the independent roles of maternal factors, intrauterine exposures, genetic factors, and postnatal environment on the development of obesity and youth-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D) in childhood.
