Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

A randomized single-blind study with the use of three lancing devices equipped with personal lancets. Every device will be studied for three lancet sizes: 28G, 30G, and 33G with the minimum and maximum puncture depth setting.

Despite type 2 diabetes comprising the majority of cases of diabetes, the overall frequency of hypoglycaemia in this group has not been as carefully documented as in type 1 diabetes, particularly in relation to the clinical use of individual therapies in primary care. The aim of this study is to provide robust data on the frequency and severity of hypoglycaemia in people with type 2 diabetes managed in primary care, and assess and explore associated risk factors.

Implantation of a duodenal-jejunal endoluminal bypass liner (DJBL) has shown to induce weight loss and to improve metabolic parameters. DJBL is a reversible endoduodenal sleeve mimicking biliodigestive digestion while lacking risks and limitations of bariatric surgery. Effects on metabolic control, body mass parameters, appetite regulation, glucose tolerance, organ health, and lipid profile were determined in 16 morbidly overweight patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In addition, relevant hormones (Leptin, ghrelin, gastric inhibitory peptide, glucagon-like peptide 1, and insulin) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) at 0, 1 and 32, and 52 weeks post-implant following a mixed meal tolerance test, which was applied for diagnostic purposes only.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate canagliflozin use in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and generate evidence of its effectiveness, safety and patient-reported outcome (PRO) in a usual clinical practice in Canada.

This study is conducted in Europe. The aim of this non-interventional study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of insulin degludec (Tresiba®) in a real world population with type 1 (T1DM) and 2 (T2DM) diabetes mellitus.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether incretin-based drugs (used to treat type 2 diabetes) taken either alone or in combination with other anti-diabetic drugs are associated with an increased risk of heart failure (HF) compared to other combinations of oral hypoglycemic agents (OHA). The investigators will carry out separate population based cohort studies using administrative health databases in six jurisdictions in Canada, the US and the UK. Cohorts will be defined by the initiation of a new anti-diabetic drug when incretin-based drugs entered the market, with follow-up until hospitalization for HF. Analyses will be done separately for groups of patients with and without prior HF. The results from the separate sites will be combined to provide an overall assessment of the risk of HF in users of incretin-based drugs and by class of incretin-based drugs.

Around the world, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been increasing since the last two decades, with approximately 347 million patients with diabetes by 2013 according to the World Health Organization (WHO). This pronounced increase is due to an increase in the prevalence of obesity, reduction in physical activity levels, accelerated urbanization and aging of the population. In Colombia, T2DM ranks fifth in the main morbidity and mortality causes, including only deaths caused directly and without adding the strong influence that T2DM has on cardiovascular disease mortality. Insufficient tissue response to normal insulin concentrations, called insulin resistance, is one of the central pathophysiological mechanisms in the development of T2DM. However, there is currently no simple, practical, safe and reproducible method that allows the diagnosis or identification of insulin resistance, nor the follow-up to its evolution. At the moment, the gold standard for assessing the degree of insulin sensitivity or resistance is the "hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp", a laborious technique, of high cost and high technical difficulty, requiring specialized personnel and hospitalization. Non-invasive methods based on mathematical regressions, such as the Homeostatic Model Assessment (HOMA-IR), are imperfect and widely variable, and have not been validated in the Latin American population, less Still Colombian. Therefore, the development of new, easily obtainable quantitative tools for the diagnosis of insulin resistance is required. This requires not only the identification of new and better biomarkers, but also the determination of their diagnostic performance and operational characteristics. This project will investigate 3 molecular targets (myokines), novel and easy to measure, with high probability of being good biomarkers of insulin resistance. The research will include validation of its association with insulin resistance measured by the reference method, as well as its measurement in apparently healthy individuals. Finally, operator-receiver characteristics of each test will be analyzed, in order to propose a cutoff point for the diagnosis of insulin resistance.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a complex, chronic disease that requires a comprehensive treatment plan aimed at meeting multitude therapeutic targets associated with micro- and macro-vascular risk reduction. There is evidence that patient support in various forms can have a significant positive impact on adherence to treatment and the meeting of targets in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the use of a digital disease management tool (Smart phone- web portal-based tool), in addition to Standard of Care for T2DM, will improve glycemic control. Other variables important in T2DM (such as weight, blood pressure, and lipid levels), will also be evaluated along with patient-reported outcomes, such as satisfaction with treatment and adherence to their antihyperglycemic treatment. Study duration is 6 months

The Microbiome Insulin Sensitivity Study "MISS" is a pilot study designed to study microbiome composition across puberty and how it relates to insulin sensitivity and secretion in obese girls, who are at increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes in puberty. The investigators will evaluate the gut microbiome composition in fecal samples of 57 obese girls in three groups: prepubertal (Tanner 1), early pubertal (Tanner 2-3), and late pubertal (Tanner 4-5). Insulin sensitivity will also be measured via an intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) in 18 prepubertal and late pubertal participants.

To determine the effects of SGLT2 inhibition with empagliflozin on cardio-respiratory fitness in patients with systolic heart failure.
