Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether exercise training leads to changes in the white adipose tissue that are beneficial to the body's regulation of sugar and body weight.

One way to help Veterans improve their diabetes control is through the use of technology to help provide information, motivation, and reminders necessary to support diabetes self-management. The study will seek input from diverse groups of Veterans living with diabetes to help develop DD-TXT, a new customizable, interactive texting intervention that allows Veterans to choose what kinds of diabetes self-management support they need, and when. This diabetes support will be provided to Veterans through "Annie", a new VA texting system for self-management support. Patients will be randomized to receive DD-TXT or an education-only texting intervention called DSE that is based on a diabetes skills workbook in order to test the comparative effectiveness of DD-TXT.

This pragmatic randomized controlled trial will assess the efficacy of medically tailored meals and medical nutrition therapy via telehealth on clinical outcomes for patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes. The goal of these interventions is to improve outcomes for patients with diabetes by impacting self-care behaviors and diet self-efficacy in the short and long term. This study leverages a unique health system and community group partnership to inform the utility of reimbursement for medically tailored meal programs and medical nutrition therapy, which would ultimately facilitate their scalability and sustainability within the healthcare system.

A Randomized Control Trial (RCT) with 1:1 randomization of adults newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2D) to Routine Care (RC) and RC + Glycemic Excursion Minimization (RC+GEM); a program that provides RC in addition to continuous glucose monitors (CGM) within a structured, self-directed, and personalized lifestyle program called GEM. Our hypothesis is that RC+GEM will: 1) reduce hemoglobin A1c as much or more, 2) require less diabetes medication, 3) cost less, and 4) have more secondary benefits, (e.g. greater reduction in cardiovascular risk, weight, diabetes distress, depression symptoms), compared to RC alone.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) prevalence has steadily been rising in the past decades and its complications, including cardiovascular diseases (CVD), are a major public health concern. To lower CVD risk and to maintain an adequate glycemic control, Diabetes Canada recommends aerobic exercise of high-intensity interval training (HIIT). The leading hypothesis of this study is that longer intervals will favor an anti-inflammatory immune state, and that and that it will be correlated with reduced arterial stiffness and blood pressure.

This is a pragmatic, pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the Nutrition-Supported Diabetes Education Program (NU-DSMP). This study will test the feasibility and preliminary impact of providing diabetes-tailored food support and individualized case-management on glycemic control and other intermediate outcomes including food security, diet, mental health, and health care behaviors, among Medicaid-enrolled patients with type 2 diabetes in a safety-net county health system.

This study is being done to investigate strategies that may improve patient's knowledge of type 2 diabetes during reproductive age and improve knowledge and engagement in self-care activities.

Abdominal obesity and type 2 diabetes are associated with the hyperactivation of the endocannabinoid system. Several animal and human studies indicate that circulating endocannabinoid (EC) levels are correlated with body fat. Thus, adipose tissue, which possesses the enzymatic machinery for the synthesis of ECs, could be the main producer of plasma ECs. Today, it is clearly established that stimulation of the endocannabinoid system, via activation of cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1s) located in the brain, leads to increased food intake and weight gain. Moreover, peripheral CB1s present in organs such as the liver, muscles and adipose tissue are involved in the establishment of metabolic deregulations linked to obesity (steatosis, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia). Thus, ECs produced by adipose tissue could play a key role in the regulation of carbohydrate-lipid homeostasis through their autocrine or paracrine actions by activating central and peripheral CB1s. Therefore, the objective of this study is to: clarify whether obesity, associated or not with diabetes, leads to an overproduction of ECs (specifying which ones) by visceral or subcutaneous adipose tissue to determine whether blocking CB1s with new peripherally acting antagonists can lead to a reduction in the production of ECs by adipose tissue. This study will also provide an opportunity to evaluate the production of adipokines and cytokines involved in the control of energy homeostasis under the different experimental conditions.

This phase 1 study will include patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus and will study their response to enteric coated aspirin at a dose of 80 mg per day for a 7-day period. The aims are to determine the feasibility of a phase 2 larger scale trial, and to characterize the prevalence of incomplete platelet inhibition after exposure to EC aspirin at doses of 80 mg once daily. Platelet function will be assessed at baseline and a day 7.

Prospective, monocentric, pathophysiological study, comparing 3 parallel groups: healthy controls; patients with diabetes and without DFU; patients with diabetes and with DFU. To address secondary objectives, samples from a fourth group will be collected.
