Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

A prospective, open labeled, randomized controlled clinical trial comparing the benefit of both hyperbaric oxygen therapy and intrapancreatic stem cell infusion to standard medical treatment alone for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Subjects will receive standard medical treatment (SMT) with insulin and metformin for 4 months (evaluation phase). Then they will be randomized into either the intervention group or the control group:

In this study, we will investigate both inflammatory systems in healthy volunteers and patients with T2DM on insulin therapy and hyperlipidemia (both familial hyperlipidemia (FH) and familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCH)) during an OGTT.

The main objective of the study is to investigate if resveratrol supplementation can improve overall and muscle-specific insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetic patients. As a secondary objective the investigators want to investigate whether the improved insulin sensitivity can be attributed to improved muscle mitochondrial oxidative capacity and a reduced intrahepatic and cardiac lipid content.

We have found that a 6-month course of insulin therapy after a short-term intensive insulin therapy could shorten the period of hyperglycemia to preserve ß-cell function and further improve long-term glycemic control in recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes with severe hyperglycemia (>300 mg/dl, with HBA1C level around 9-11%) in our previous study. We thus hypothesized that a 6-month course of basal insulin therapy could also help to preserve ß-cell function in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes with moderate hyperglycemia (200-300 mg/dl). This prospective study is outpatient-based to evaluate whether 6-month basal insulin therapy versus oral anti-diabetic treatment (Metformin and sitagliptin) soon after the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes with moderate hyperglycemia (200-300 mg/dl) is associated with better ß-cell function reservation. We skip a short-term intensive admission course of insulin therapy as our previous study in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes with severe hyperglycemia.

Four months of interval walking (IW) training results in substantial weight loss in opposition to energy-expenditure matched continuous walking (CW) training. The reason for this is unclear. This study will assess if IW leads to greater exercise-induced suppression of appetite and ad libitum food intake compared to CW and no exercise. Subjects with type 2 diabetes will be included in a crossover, counter-balanced, controlled study, where each subject will undergo three trials. Trials will be identical except the following interventions: One hour of rest (CON) One hour of interval walking (repeated cycles of 3 min of fast and 3 min of slow walking; IW) One hour of continuous walking (CW) matched to IW with regards to energy-expenditure. After the interventions subjects will undergo a liquid mixed meal tolerance test (450 kCal), with regular measurements of appetite-related hormones (insulin, ghrelin, Leptin, Cholecystokinin, PYY). Three hours into the mixed meal tolerance test, a standardised ad-libitum meal test will be served and intake will recorded. Free-living energy intake via food records will be assessed during the following 32 hours.

Little evidence exists on the impact of diabetes risk scores, e.g. on physicians and patient's behavior, perceived risk of persons, shared-decision making and particularly on patient´s health. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of a non-invasive diabetes risk prediction model in the primary health care setting as component of routine health checks on change in physical activity.

This study is a randomized controlled cross-over trial, in the form of a proof of concept study that is designed to evaluate the health outcomes resulting from incorporating a licensed clinical pharmacist in a health care team to provide case management for diabetic patients at the Henry J Austin Health Clinic. The study uses a control group design and will feature both an experimental group and a control group. The control group, of 80 patients, will receive the standard treatment at the clinic. The experimental group, of 80 patients, will receive the standard treatment as well as Medication Therapy Management and counseling from a pharmacist. After one year the patients in the control group can cross-over to the intervention group and receive care from the pharmacist.

The aim of the study is to investigate proprioceptive exercises training combined with aerobic exercises and resistive exercises training combined with aerobic exercises on dynamic balance and superficial sense. The patients were randomly divided into Proprioceptive Exercise Training Group (PG) (n=15) and Resistive Exercise Training Group (RG) (n=15). All subjects were included exercise education program and both groups had trained aerobic exercise program for walking on treadmill (2times/wk. 6 week duration).

The study is a randomized cross-over pilot study. The research hypothesis is that the diet high in SDS content (H-SDS) will lower the daylong glycemic response and improve the glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared to the diet low in SDS content (L-SDS).

GX-G6-002 is a Phase 2, 12-week, randomized, parallel group, multi-centre, double blind, placebo-controlled and an open-label active comparator study.
