Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

The incidence of type 2 diabetes worldwide is growing rapidly, being one of the fastest growing global health emergencies of the 21st century according to the International Diabetes Federation. In MicrobiAr the investigators seek to achieve type 2 diabetes remission through a plant-based diet and lifestyle intervention identifying and characterizing key changes on the gut microbiome during clinical transitions. Specifically, the investigators aim to characterize and follow-up metabolic pathways from gut microbiome and how they evolve as long as health indicators do over the 2 years of this study.

This study will look at how well the new medicine CagriSema helps people living with excess body weight and type 2 diabetes losing weight. Participants will either get CagriSema or a dummy medicine. Which treatment they get is decided by chance. The study will last for about 1½ years. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or plan to get pregnant during the study period.

Subject will be trained to do regular foot exercise during their visit to the clinic. We will evaluate foot sensitivity and peripheral perfussion after

Lowering of blood pressure (BP) in high-risk hypertensive individuals reduces major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. Diabetic patients with hypertension benefit from BP lowering treatment. The present trial, IPAD in brief, is a randomized, open-label, parallel-designed, multicenter study involving nearly 12,000 patients to be recruited and to be followed up for a median of four years. IPAD tests the hypothesis that antihypertensive medications in adults with type 2 diabetes, whose seated BP 120-139 mm Hg systolic and below 90 mm Hg diastolic, results in 20% difference in the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. During follow-up for participants in the intensive group, the sitting systolic pressure should be decreased to below 120 mm Hg, by titration and combination of the study medications of an angiotensin type-1 receptor blocker Allisartan (240 mg/day), a dihydropyridine calcium-channel blocker (amlodipine 5-10 mg/day), and/or other medications if necessary. For those in the standard group, the sitting systolic pressure should be monitored and controlled below 140 mm Hg.

Care recommendations for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients are clearly defined in Danish clinical guidelines: patients are offered three consultations with the general practice (GP), patients must be referred for a municipal start-up conversation, and cross-sectoral collaboration is vital to succeeding in the treatment of T2DM patients. This framework is often reported as inadequate by the patients, which increases the risk of high levels of diabetes distress (DD). Diabetes distress is the burden of living with T2DM and is associated with deleterious physical and mental health outcomes, including poor glycemic control, recurved wellbeing, and increased all-course mortality. This project evaluates the efficacy of an entry-to-care intervention, seeking to strengthen and structure the cross-sectoral collaboration, targeting DD in people recently diagnosed with T2DM. Intervention The intervention progresses throughout the first three months of the diagnosis. It is divided into core components: Improvements of cross-sectoral communication and information sharing, ensure systematism in care, guarantee participation at a "one-stop-shop" and a start-up conversation at the municipal, and improve patients coping skills. Research plan This cluster-randomized control trial is conducted in the Region of Southern Denmark, with each GP randomly assigned to intervention or control. Changes in DD are the primary outcome. Data will be collected through an electronic questionnaire at baseline and 4, 12 months after diagnosis. Perspective and expected outcomes A decrease in DD levels causes; higher level of self-care, quality of life, self-management, glycemic control and decrease the risk of severe complications and all-cause mortality. The intervention will be extrapolated to other patient groups where cross-sectoral collaboration is part of the care, increasing the treatment for these patient groups as well.

The objective is to evaluate a culturally tailored adaptation of The Finnish Geriatric Intervention Study to Prevent Cognitive Impairment and Disability (FINGER) protocol targeted for individuals with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) living in the border areas of Ireland. The primary research question to be addressed is; what is the feasibility and acceptability of implementing a multicomponent intervention for the target population in a community setting in comparison to standard clinical care. The study protocol was informed by a phase 1 qualitative study (REC ref 19/NI/0011) involving the target population i.e. older people with Type 2 DM from the border areas of N Ireland and the Republic of Ireland and has been amended (version 2.0) in response to the coronavirus pandemic

The cornerstone in the initial treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is lifestyle modification, involving-among other things-a healthy diet. However, scientific evidence regarding optimal nutrition therapy for patients with T2D is insufficient. This clinical study will examine the effect of a carbohydrate-reduced high-protein (CRHP) diet compared to a conventional diabetes (CD) diet for 12 months on metabolic function and body weight in patients with T2D. The hypothesis of the study is that the CRHP diet will improve metabolic control and the cardiovascular risk profile of patients with T2D to a greater extent than the CD diet. In particular, the expectation is that, compared with the CD diet, the CRHP diet will: Reduce diurnal and postprandial glycemia measured by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and thereby facilitate a significant reduction of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) Reduce body weight Reduce ectopic fat deposition in the liver and the pancreas Improve the blood lipid profile Reduce or not affect blood pressure with no adverse effect on heart rate variability Increase insulin sensitivity and secretion Decrease inflammatory markers in the blood Improve satiety Reduce or not affect the need for antidiabetic, antihypertensive and/or lipid-lowering medications

The SUNI-SEA study is an intervention study that measures effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of prevention and early diagnosis of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases in communities and primary healthcare (PHC) facilities in Indonesia, Myanmar and Vietnam.

Based on the findings of our formative work, conduct a one-year intervention among African American Adults using revised culturally tailored materials to examine differences in Healthy Eating Index (HEI) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) risk factors among participants (n=198) randomized to one of the 3 dietary patterns: 1) Healthy U.S.-Style Eating Pattern, 2) Healthy Mediterranean-Style Eating Pattern, and 3) Healthy Vegetarian Eating Pattern.

The proposed research, "Dulce Digital 2.0," will evaluate two mHealth adaptions of Project Dulce that are designed to improve digital health literacy, increase underserved individuals' capacity to access and engage with vital digital health information, and in turn, improve clinical and behavioral outcomes in at-risk adults with diabetes. Expanding access to care in populations faced with challenges of low socioeconomic status and health literacy is a step toward reducing health disparities and positively affecting care. The literature shows that identifying which groups of participants are most likely to benefit from telehealth interventions is an important factor in improving the evidence base for digital health literacy. Dulce Digital 2.0 is highly scalable once the technical infrastructure is built. More importantly, by helping to reduce existing inequities in access to diabetes care and accurate digital health information the model could help to improve health outcomes on a larger scale. The use of digital technology in the delivery of healthcare interventions is increasingly common. Barriers to engagement in digital technology exist among those in underserved populations due to language, access to equipment and internet, education level, exposure to and comfort with technology, and pre-existing deficits in health literacy. The proposed research will investigate the effectiveness of two digital approaches to improving the self-management and digital health skills of underserved participants with diabetes compared to tradition in-person self-management education: 1) live self-management education, traditional in-person classes; 2) live self-management education using a telehealth distance learning platform; and 3) a series of text-based messages, not requiring a smart phone or internet connection, that encourage healthy self-management behaviors.
