A Clinical Study to Assess the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of SRT2379 in Normal Healthy Male Volunteers...
Diabetes MellitusType 2The main purpose of this study is to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of SRT2379 (25, 75, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, and 3000 mg/day [fasted] and 500 mg/day [fed]) in healthy male volunteers. The purpose is also to explore the effect of SRT2379 on plasma concentrations of Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 (FGF21) and to identify other possible biomarkers suitable for future clinical assessment of oral SIRT1 activators.

Almonds and Diabetes Management
Type 2 DiabetesThis trial examined the impact of acute and chronic almond ingestion on indicators of glucose control (postprandial glycemia and hemoglobin A1c). Hypotheses: Almonds will stimulate the secretion of GLP-1 in healthy adults and in adults with T2D The investigators were not able to demonstrate a relationship between GLP-1 secretion and almond consumption. Individuals with T2D were characterized with significantly greater GLP-1 secretion than the non-diabetic control subjects. Acute ingestion of almonds will decrease the postprandial glycemia and insulinemic responses in healthy controls and in individuals with T2D The investigators data support the hypothesis: almond consumption by individuals with T2D did attenuate postprandial glycemia; however, almond consumption did not alter glycemia in non-diabetic control subjects Chronic almond ingestion for 12 weeks will reduce fasting glucose (FG) and A1c concentrations in individuals with T2D The investigators data demonstrated modest beneficial effect of almond consumption on A1c in individuals with T2D. Almond consumption was also associated with modest weight loss as compared to the control treatment (low fat cheese sticks).

Comparison of Glycemic Control in Obese Diabetics Using Three Different Pen Needles
Diabetes MellitusType 12 moreAnxiety about needles is a concern commonly expressed by diabetics when beginning insulin therapy. A shorter, thinner pen needle that delivers insulin with the safety and efficacy profile of longer pen needles may appeal to many diabetic patients as the shorter needle may be perceived as less intimidating and more comfortable. While pen needles of 4 to 8 mm in length are generally used for insulin injection in patients considered thin or normal weight, longer (12.7 mm) needles are still often prescribed for overweight or obese patients with diabetes. Since skin thickness is nearly constant across a range of body mass index (BMI), a clear rationale exists for the use of shorter needles in obese patients. (Gibney et al., CMRO 2010) The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the BD Ultra-Fine™ Nano 4mm x 32 Gauge(G) pen needle manufactured by Becton, Dickinson and Company (BD) provides equivalent glucose control (as measured by hemoglobin A1c levels) as the BD Ultra-Fine™ 8mm x 31G and the BD Ultra-Fine™ 12.7mm x 29G pen needles in obese subjects with diabetes.

Vitamin D Receptor Polymorphisms and Efficacy of Vitamin D-Fortified Yogurt Drink in Patients With...
Type 2 Diabetes MellitusStudy is a 12-week Double blind,controlled experiments designed to examine the possible effects of vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms on the metabolic, inflammatory and oxidative stress markers in type 2 diabetic patients to vitamin D-fortified yogurt drink intake.

A Study of LY2608204 in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
Diabetes MellitusType 2Safety study with multiple oral doses of LY2608204 given to patients with type 2 diabetes. Study subjects will receive once daily doses of LY2608204 for a total treatment duration of up to 28 days. In this study, each patient will receive increasing doses of LY2608204 until reaching the highest dose that they can tolerate. Continuous glucose monitoring devices will be employed for each patient to monitor for hypoglycemia during study treatment. Dose titration and dose reduction is determined for each individual patient based on their safety and glycemic data.

Technology Intervention for Diabetes Engagement & Self-Care (TIDES)
Diabetes Mellitus Type 2The purpose of this 3 site, 24-week, Comparative Effectiveness Randomized Clinical Trial in Primary Care is to compare usual care to an online, multi-media, digital intervention for Persons with Type 2 Diabetes to Improve Engagement, Knowledge, and Self-Care.

Study To Evaluate The Effect Of Renal Impairment On The Pharmacokinetics Of PF-04991532
Type 2 Diabetes MellitusHealthyThe primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of a single oral dose of PF-04991532 in subjects with renal impairment.

Dietary Polyphenols and Lipid Oxidation
ObesityInsulin Sensitivity1 moreThere are strong indications that (combinations of) polyphenols may be attractive candidates in the prevention of the metabolic syndrome and diabetes through modulation of pathways of fatty acid metabolism and mitochondrial function. We hypothesize that the combination of specific polyphenols, with partly distinct mechanisms of action, may have physiologically significant effects on fat oxidation through additive or synergistic effects, thereby improving body composition, insulin sensitivity and preventing type 2 diabetes. The following objective will be addressed in the current study: (1) to test short term (3 day) effects of combinations of polyphenols (supplements of EGCG either in combination with resveratrol or with resveratrol and genistein) to affect systemic lipolysis and fat oxidation during overnight fasted conditions and after ingestion of a high fat meal in overweight subjects

Pharmaceutical Care in Type 2 Diabetes
DIABETES MELLITUSTYPE 2The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of a pharmaceutical care program on the level of glycated hemoglobin for hyperglycemic users of brazilian public health care system in drug treatment for type 2 diabetes.

I-care: Stimulating Self-management in Patients With Type 2-diabetes
Diabetes Type 2ObesityThe overall objective of this pilot study is to develop a cost-effective treatment methodology delivered outside of traditional clinical setting, and based on modern technology for patients with diabetes type 2 also suffering from obesity. This study will investigate the feasibility of web based counselling and situational feedback through mobile supervising. The intention is to treat 10-15 patients. All participants will receive standard treatment delivered by their general practitioners. In addition the participants will fill in and send diaries to the supervisors each evening for 4 weeks reduced to a weekly frequency for the next two months period. The diary's schedule will be an evaluation of the day activities related to meals and food, medication management as well as the performed physical activities. The diary's schedule will also include blood glucose sample, and plans for the next day especially regarding physical activity. The participants will be able to view their own registrations on a web page. Daily/weekly situational feedback will be given to the participants within a cognitive behavioural framework to stimulate self-management. The primary outcome will be the HbA1c levels. Secondary outcomes will include evaluation of lifestyle outcomes such as physical activity levels and eating behaviour, and skills such as self-management of medication. In addition, the interventions effectiveness will examine mental health outcomes such as emotional distress and health-related quality of life.
