Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a progressive metabolic disorder in which a substantial number of patients cannot attain treatment target despite antidiabetic drugs. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has recently been implicated in the development of insulin resistance and impaired glucose metabolism. This study investigates the effect of adding RAS inhibitors to standard antidiabetic therapy in patients with T2DM. The primary outcome measure is the change in serum glycosylated hemoglobin A1c after 24 weeks of treatment. Secondary outcomes measures include changes in plasma lipid profile and blood pressure after treatment.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of the WW program on people with Type 2 diabetes and the effect on glycemic control. This study will be a 6 month prospective, single arm clinical trial coordinated by Pennington Biomedical Research Center. Up to 150 participants will be recruited across 3 sites. Participants will have Type 2 diabetes and overweight/obesity.

Ketone bodies are a fuel source and signaling molecule that are produced by the body during prolonged fasting or if an individuals consistently eats a low-carbohydrate "keto" diet. Blood ketones can be used as a source of energy by the body, but they may also act as signals that impact the functioning of different cells in the body. Recently, the availability of ketone supplements that can be taken orally allows for raising blood ketones without having to fast or eat a "keto" diet. The investigators' studies and those of other researchers have shown that ketone supplementation can lower blood sugar without having to make any other dietary changes. Oral ingestion of ketones may therefore be an effective strategy to improve blood sugar control and influence how cells function. The main objective of this study is to determine if consuming a ketone supplement 3 times per day (before meals) for 14 days lowers blood sugar and impacts how the body's cells function. The results of this study will be used to guide future recommendations on the utility of ketone supplements for improving health in individuals with, or at elevated risk of, type 2 diabetes.

This phase I clinical trial is used to evaluate the safety of Andiabet, a herbal-derived medicinal product that assists in the treatment of type 2 Diabetes (T2D). Thereby, determine efficacy of the drug on stabilizing blood glucose in T2D patients.

The current population of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) worldwide is over 200 million and Malaysia contributes to 1.2% of that number. The prevalence of T2DM in Malaysia has approximately tripled over the last three decades from 6.3% in 1986 to 17.5% of the adult population in 2015.T2DM is a progressive disease associated with debilitating microvascular and macrovascular complications. The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Peninsular Malaysia was high at 9.1% of the adult population in 2011. T2DM is the leading cause of renal failure for patients commencing dialysis, increasing from 53% of new dialysis patients in 2004 to 61% in 2013. Therefore, diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a debilitating complication which not only imposes significant health problems but also confers financial burden on affected patients. There has been increasing amount of understanding in the complexity of the relationship between T2DM and obesity. As the prevalence of both conditions continue to demonstrate a parallel rise, the influence of obesity on T2DM is further marked. Thus, this has led to greater emphasis on weight loss in the management of T2DM. More recent anti-diabetic medications including SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP1 agonists demonstrated greater efficacy in improving glycaemic control and their ability to produce weight reduction. In addition, there has been more interest in the effects of these drugs on retardation of renal disease progression. The mechanism is unclear, either attributed by direct drug effects on renal glomerular-tubular structures, through the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone-System (RAAS), or other pathways. Another pausible explanation is the significant weight loss, which has been shown to have a significant effect of attenuation of renal disease. Weight reduction programs have long been a complex and tedious treatment plan which has inconsistent, non-duplicable and unpredictable outcomes. Most programs emphasized on medical nutrition therapy and lifestyle changes. There has been many different dietary plans which share a common goal ie to reduce calori intake whilst increasing energy expenditure. Few have been successfully reproducible, limited by either patient adherence or modest outcome. Low carbohydrate diet is a diet plan which stresses on reducing carbohydrate intake to less than 20g daily. Numerous studies have shown that weight loss could be obtained by reduction of calori intake in either the form of carbohydrate or fat. CKD patients are recommended to consume low protein diet of less than 0.6-0.7g/kg/day with little emphasis on calori or carbohydrate intake. This study, thus, aims to evaluate the effects of low carbohydrate and moderate fat (LCBD) in addition to low protein diet on renal disease in patients with DKD.

The aim of this study is to compare the effect of tropicamide 0.5% and tropicamide 1% on intraocular pressure and anterior chamber parameters in patients with Diabetes Mellitus.

Limited data exist about the use of insulin degludec and insulin glargine U300 in the hospitalized patients. A previous study compared the safety and efficacy of insulin degludec versus insulin glargine U100 for the management of hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes. However, there is no data comparing the efficacy and safety of insulin degludec versus insulin glargine U300 for the management of hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes. Accordingly, the proposed study will provide a clinically useful information on the efficacy (blood glucose control) and safety (hypoglycemia) of insulin degludec versus insulin glargine U300 for the management of hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes.

Purpose. To evaluate the impact of pharmaceutical education in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Systemic Arterial Hypertension on their medication adherence. Material and research methods. Randomized clinical trial with a control group with a duration of 6 months of follow-up. Patients with a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus andWE Systemic Arterial Hypertension treated in the internal medicine outpatient of a school hospital will be included. Adherence to medication will be evaluated using Morisky's 8-item medication adherence scale. The investigators believe that Pharmaceutical education increases therapeutic adherence in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Systemic Arterial Hypertension.

This study will assess tolerability, safety, and pharmacodynamics (PD) of twice daily (BID) administration of PF- 06882961 in adult participants with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) who are treated with metformin and in non-diabetic adults with obesity

To compare the safety and efficacy of empagliflozin versus other treatments in Pakistani Muslim population with type II diabetes mellitus.
