Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

Introduction and objective: The current state of glucose monitoring includes the use of A1C, self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). CGM technology has got the potential to revolutionize diabetes care in the near future striving to optimal diabetes management and tight glucose control. Until very recently, this determination could only be achieved by the attainment of multiple capillary blood glucose determinations each day and/or measuring hemoglobin A1C. Those methods are not accurate in cases of unrecognized hypoglycemia, unrecognized nighttime events or in cases of large swings in blood glucose. Our aim is to analyze the benefit of tracking patterns of glucose values by using professional CGM technology used for "blinded" collection of glucose data retrospectively in patients with T2DM in secondary care- diabetologist clinic.

A multi-year clinical study to improve tools for measuring the function of insulin-producing beta cells in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The main objective of this study is to assess the feasibility of standardized screening for comorbidities among patients with one or more of three chronic diseases (diabetes, COPD, atherosclerosis) by a mobile unit at times and localities under-served by health actors.

Next to HbA1c, body weight is regarded as an important surrogate end-point in trials investigating glucose-lowering agents. An increase in weight could contribute to worsening insulin resistance. Differences in weight after starting glucose lowering agents have been described in many randomized controlled trials (RCTs). With this prospective observational study, weight trajectories after receiving add-on therapy next to metformin are evaluated in primary care patients with good glycaemic control.

This prospective, longitudinal study of Chinese American immigrants will examine whether psychosocial factors (e.g., acculturative stress, social isolation, discrimination) are associated with markers of type 2 diabetes risk over time, and whether such associations are mediated by inflammatory pathways.

Type 2 diabetes is the chronic disease with the most important development in France, and particularly in the Saint-Etienne area due to his specific population. Different studies showed the interest of screening targeted on high risk population to reduce cardiovascular risks and mortality. The current screening recommandation is an opportunist targeted screening on population older than 45 years with risk factors by a fasting glucose every 3 years, and a communautaire screening targeted on population older than 45 years suffering precarity with or without risk factors by capillary blood glucose or fasting glucose. The objective of the Sainté Diabete network is to optimize the screening of diabetics, their follow-up and their treatments. Using a self-administered questionnaire during a medical visit could be a simple, cheap and efficient tool to detect diabetics as soon as possible.

Context: Indigenous peoples experience higher prevalence rates of diabetes and worse health outcomes compared to the general population because of a wide array of factors: social determinants of health, lifestyle, genetic susceptibility, and historic-political and psycho-social factors. Barriers to care that are unique to First Nations communities exacerbate the problem with fragmented healthcare, poor chronic disease management, healthcare staff turnover, and limited, or non-existent, surveillance. Program: The TransFORmation of IndiGEnous PrimAry HEAlthcare Delivery (FORGE AHEAD) research program aims to develop and evaluate community-driven, culturally relevant, primary healthcare models that enhance chronic disease prevention and management in First Nations communities in Canada. Participants will consist of Indigenous community and clinic team members that will take part in multiple interrelated projects including community profiling, readiness consultations, diabetes registry and surveillance, and quality improvement workshops and action periods. Design: This mixed-method pre-post observational study will capture: 1) diabetes clinical process and outcomes measures, 2) details about community-driven innovations, and 3) knowledge about the experience and cost of attempting to improve primary delivery in individual Indigenous communities. Intervention/Instrument: Survey, literature review, 15 month intervention (readiness consultations, implementation and maintenance of a registry and surveillance system, community and clinic focused quality improvement workshops), interviews. Measures: Primary- mean A1C of patients with diabetes (A1C ≥ 8.0% at baseline); Secondary-clinical process and outcome measures, change in stage of readiness, description of participation and innovation facilitators and barriers. Policy Implications: The outcomes of this research program have the potential to significantly affect future policy decisions pertaining to chronic disease care in First Nations communities. Policy recommendations will be made to help support Indigenous communities in adopting successful innovations to help address issues related to diabetes and other chronic illnesses. The community-driven innovations developed in FORGE AHEAD and the subsequent policy decisions may enhance chronic disease prevention and management for Indigenous peoples across the country.

This study is intended to prospectively research the treatment reality and long-term disease control of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients who are initiating 2nd line anti-diabetes treatment in sites across Japan.

This multicenter, prospective, observational cohort study will assess bone differences in women and men with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with and without fragility fractures.

OPTIMISE-CEEMEA is a multinational, multi-centre, observational, prospective study which will include patients suffering from diabetes type 2, treated or untreated, insulin dependent or not insulin dependent. In this study we aim to explore at a primary care level whether the use of benchmarking against a set of guideline-based reference values on a patient basis, may improve quality of patient care, in particular control of diabetes, lipids and blood pressure.
