Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

The purpose of this study is to compare long-acting basal insulin analog LY2963016 to Lantus® in insulin naïve adult Chinese participants with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) on 2 or more oral antihyperglycemic medications (OAMs). Participants will continue their OAMs throughout the study.

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the superiority of sotagliflozin versus placebo on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) reduction in participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who have inadequate glycemic control on a DPP4(i) with or without metformin.

Patients enrolled into the study will be randomly allocated either to Empagliflozin group or control group. In the Empagliflozin group patients will be receiving standard care + Empagliflozin 10 mg o.d., in the control group patients will be receiving standard care without sodium glucose contransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors.

Create a large biobank of blood samples and data from subjects with new onset hyperglycemia and diabetes (NOD).

To evaluate a standardized weight-loss program as treatment option for obesity and type 2 diabetes, changes in body composition and metabolic control are investigated in obese patients with diabetes.

The Latino population in the United States is increasing in size; is diverse in culture, backgrounds and countries of origin; is experiencing unique influences from social and behavioral acculturation to the U.S.; is reported nationally to have lower rates of heart disease; is reported to have increased prevalence of diabetes and asthma; and is generally poorer and less educated (NHLBI working Group, 2003). They represent an important target population for disparities research. In particular Latinos accessing care in Community Health Centers in the United States represent an ideal population for conducting disparities research because lack of access to care is minimized through various governmental health insurance support mechanisms. This study will build on existing relationships to conduct the proposed study, using expertise in epidemiologic, behavioral and genetic research in an effort to promote a coordinated, comprehensive, interdisciplinary and focused research effort to improve the care being delivered to indigent Latinos at-risk for and with CVD.

Ninety-six patients with diabetes will be randomly assigned to maintain standard treatment or participate in the Self-Care Multidisciplinary Workshop for Diabetes. The workshop consists of individual meetings, with a multidisciplinary team (nurse, pharmacist, nutritionist, physical educator and social worker) in which education and self-care topics will be approached aiming at the formation of knowledge and skills necessary for patient self-care. The workshop will be offered in 3 different modules with 2 to 4 weeks difference between them. The variation of glycated hemoglobin as well as aspects associated with self-care, adherence and quality of life will be evaluated at the study entry, 6 and 12 months later.

Type 2 diabetes (DM2) is a chronic disease affecting 29 million Americans and a leading cause of blindness, kidney failure, and limb loss (Engelgau et al 2004). Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is the only intervention that leads to durable DM2 remission ~ 80% of the time (Mingrone et al 2012). Yet, it's broad application is limited by cost, invasiveness, and clinical inertia. Medically reproducing RYGB would extend the benefit of disease remission to the vast majority of DM2 patients using a cheaper, less invasive and more palatable treatment approach. Although all of the mechanisms mediating DM2 remission are not known, it is widely accepted that RYGB induces caloric restriction and enhances meal-stimulated release of a gut-peptide called glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) both of which improve glycemic control in type 2 diabetes (Dar et al 2012; Jackness 2013). Caloric restriction can be achieved using OPTIFAST which is a commercially available medical weight loss program that has demonstrated the ability to decrease weight and improve glycemic control (Kirschner et al; 1998). Enhanced meal-stimulated GLP-1 release can be achieved using Liraglutide an FDA-approved once daily GLP-1 analogue that improves glycemic control and induces weight loss. The investigators hypothesize that adding OPTIFAST (caloric restriction) in suboptimally controlled DM2 patients on Liraglutide (enhanced meal stimulated GLP-1 release), Metformin and Lantus insulin will medically reproduce RYGB and lead to DM2 remission, weight loss, decreased medication intensity and improved health related quality of life.

Diabetes is one of the greatest challenges faced by healthcare services worldwide. It is associated with serious complications such as heart attacks, stroke, and peripheral artery disease as well as kidney disease, eye disease, and nerve dysfunction. Data from weight loss with bariatric surgery suggest that with the appropriate intervention, it should be possible to reverse diabetes and that the earlier the intervention occurs, the greater the chances of placing diabetes into remission. There is now a need to translate this knowledge into the medical care of younger patients with early diabetes who are overweight/obese. The aim of this study is to see if younger adult patients with overweight/obesity and type 2 diabetes who are participants in a programme incorporating a low energy diet and physical activity (lifestyle) will lower their weight, cardiovascular risk and improve their glycaemic control as compared to the usual care.

This is a 24 week, multicentre, prospective, randomized, controlled, parallel-designed (1:1) pilot study.The study will compare glycemic variability in patients treated with insulin glargine U300/ml insulin versus conventional (NPH) insulin using a self titration algorithm.50 type 2 diabetes patients who are newly started on insulin will be recruited. They will be randomly allocated to either insulin glargine U300 or NPH insulin for 26 weeks. All subjects will follow a insulin-self titration algorithm. The study will consist of 9 visits over 26 weeks. Blood glucose variability will be collected by CGM for 7 consecutive days at baseline (week -1) and at week 24.Secondary endpoints other than data on glycemic variability, including HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose, inflammatory markers will be measured during three periods (week 0, week 12 and week 24).
