Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), have a high prevalence of suboptimal response to clopidogrel (up to 40%). This impaired response to antiplatelet drugs has been consistently associated with a higher risk of adverse ischemic outcomes. Different strategies have been suggested to overcome variability in response to clopidogrel and improve clinical outcomes in diabetic patients. One of these strategies is the use of newer P2Y12 inhibitors, such as ticagrelor, with more potent and consistent platelet inhibitory effects compared to clopidogrel. In summary, since patients with T2DM continue to have enhanced platelet reactivity despite the administration of commonly used dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and standard doses of clopidogrel, newer and more potent antiplatelet treatment strategies are warranted in this high-risk population. The purpose of the present study is to compare platelet inhibitory effects achieved with ticagrelor versus clopidogrel, both on top of aspirin therapy, in patients with type 2 DM and stable coronary artery disease.

Hyperglycemia during admission is associated with increased rate of complications and longer hospital stays, thus insulin treatment is recommended for all diabetes patients with hyperglycemia. Inpatient studies of non-critically ill patients show better glycemic control with the use of basal-bolus insulin therapy compared to sliding scale insulin therapy, but increased rates of hypoglycemia. The investigators hypothesize that basal-bolus insulin therapy with a new ultra-long-action basal insulin can treat hyperglycemia more efficiently than sliding scale insulin, with few episodes of hypoglycemia.

Exercise is considered one of the three cornerstones of type 2 diabetes (T2D) care programmes (together with diet and medication), yet the majority of individuals with T2D do not achieve the minimum recommended levels of physical activity. Two of the key barriers to exercise appear to be a 'lack of time' and the high levels of perceived exertion and fatigue. At Ulster University, it has recently been demonstrated that a modified high-intensity interval training (HIT) intervention, consisting of 10-min of low-intensity cycling interspersed with two 20-s 'all-out' sprints (reduced-exertion HIT; REHIT), was effective at improving insulin sensitivity in sedentary men over six weeks. Importantly, these benefits were observed despite the very low time commitment (just 10-min per session) and relatively low ratings of perceived exertion ('somewhat hard'). As REHIT is associated with substantial muscle glycogen breakdown, we hypothesise that this exercise mode may also acutely improve glycaemic control in patients with T2D. This study will: Examine the acute impact of REHIT, compared with a no-exercise control, on 24-hour glycaemic control under dietary-controlled but otherwise 'free-living' conditions using continuous glucose monitoring. Compare the effects of REHIT with currently recommended levels of aerobic exercise and a previously recommended HIT model, both of which have been shown to improve 24-hour glycaemic control in T2D. Collect information on individual's perceptions of each exercise mode through measures of affect, motivation, perceived exertion, fatigue, enjoyment and attentional focus.

The purpose of this study is to conduct a multicenter randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, evaluating the effects and change of lipid metabolism, especially of triglyceride after omega-3 administration in type 2 diabetes patients with hypertriglyceride.

The study is a pilot trial to investigate the effect of Metformin and S. Baicalensis Combination Therapy in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients.

A two year, two arm pragmatic trial to investigate the integration of naturopathic care with conventional medical care to provide additional benefit beyond that of conventional medical care alone in achieving adequate control of diabetes.

The primary objective of this study is to obtain safety information on the use of sitagliptin phosphate/metformin hydrochloride (HCl) (JANUMET®) from endocrinologists, diabetologists, internists, and general practitioners.

The role of micronutrients in diabetes is not well understood. Studies have demonstrated the relationship between low chromium serum levels and insulin resistance. This study aims to evaluate the effect of chromium nicotinate on increasing insulin sensitivity in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Obese patients with Type 2 diabetes (T2D) have a 80-98% chance of having their disease cured or improved following bariatric surgery. This could be explained by weight loss or by changes of nutrient absorption or gut hormone secretion. The comparison of glucose metabolism in patients undergoing malabsorptive or mechanical procedures will clarify this matter. EndoBarrier is an endoscopically delivered device that mimics malabsorptive surgical procedures while the endoscopically placed intragastric balloon induces weight loss with a mechanical action. The present study hypothesis is that the bypass of the first portion of the intestine obtained with the EndoBarrier will be more effective in improving glucose metabolism than the reduction of food intake obtained with the intragastric balloon. Since similar weight loss is expected in the two groups, the study will aid in understanding the mechanisms behind the metabolic improvement seeing after intestine bypass.

The study hypothesis was In women with gestational diabetes and type 2 diabetes in pregnancy metformin treatment compared with insulin will result in better perinatal and maternal outcome and improved treatment acceptability with low or noadditional insulin requirement.
