Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

To assess a new drug, BAY94-8862 given orally at different doses, to evaluate whether it was safe and can help the well being of patients with type 2 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy. These treatment doses were compared to placebo.

This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of aleglitazar in combination with metformin in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus who are inadequately controlled with metformin monotherapy. Patients will be randomized to receive either aleglitazar 150 mcg orally daily or placebo for 26 weeks in combination with their pre-existing metformin regimen and dose.

This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of aleglitazar monotherapy in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus who are drug-naïve to anti-hyperglycemic therapy. Patients will be randomized to receive either aleglitazar 150 mcg orally daily or placebo for 26 weeks.

This pilot study will investigate the effect of Vitamin D supplementation in improving glucose control with patients with poorly controlled diabetes and concurrent Vitamin D deficiency.

Aim: To evaluate a culturally-adapted method of lifestyle assessment, counseling, and education among Arab people with diabetes who have varying literacy skills using an interactive computerized tool and graphically-enhanced patient logs for dietary and physical activity. The investigators hypothesize that this tool will: a) increase patients' knowledge and understanding of the role of lifestyle (diet and physical activity) in diabetes management; b) improve patients' engagement in monitoring dietary intake and physical activity; c) improve dietary and physical activity behaviors and self-blood glucose monitoring (SBGM) practices; d) improve glycemic control; and, e) improve the efficiency of lifestyle assessment, education and counseling while increasing patients' engagement in the process.

To investigate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of BI 10773 with repeat dosing for eight days and the exploration of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of BI 10773 after multiple dosing, including dose proportionality and assessment of steady state.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether intake of protein supplement just before meals lowers the blood sugar levels after the meals. It is believe that pre-meal administration of a high-protein supplement can effectively improve glycemic control in type 2 diabetes (DM).

High blood glucose levels in hospitalized patients with diabetes are associated with increased risk of medical complications and death. Improved glucose control with insulin injections may improve clinical outcome and prevent some of the hospital complications. Increasing evidence indicates that incretin-based agents are safe and effective for the hospital management of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Liraglutide is a once-daily human glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) analogue approved for the treatment of T2D. Liraglutide has been shown to lower blood glucose, stimulate endogenous insulin secretion, decrease plasma glucagon levels, inhibit gastric emptying, reduce food intake and body weight and improve ß-cell function when administered subcutaneously. Liraglutide increases insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner (i.e., only when plasma glucose levels are elevated), resulting in low-risk of hypoglycemia when used as monotherapy. When compared to insulin glargine therapy, the use of GLP-1 has resulted in comparable reduction in HbA1c level, lower rates of hypoglycemia and less weight gain. No prospective studies; however, have compared the efficacy and safety of liraglutide in the hospital setting or after hospital discharge. The primary objective is to compare the safety and efficacy of liraglutide (Victoza®) versus glargine insulin in combination to oral anti-diabetic agents (OADs: metformin, sulfonylureas, nateglinide, repaglinide or pioglitazone) on glycemic control after 26 weeks of treatment in medicine patients with T2D after hospital discharge.

To explore the mechanism of action of ranolazine as a potential treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

This study was an open, 4-treatment, 5-sequence, 5-day cross-over randomized design clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of mixed grain on blood glucose, insulin and Glycemic index(GI) in healthy males.
