Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

Medication non-adherence is an economic problem and a major public health challenge. Factors influencing medication adherence can be modelled according to five dimensions: disease, medication, patient and its close relatives, demographic and socioeconomic factors and health care system. A tool is needed to qualify medication adherence in order to adapt tailored support for individual patients to promote and optimize adherence to therapy. The objective of this work is to present the preliminary results of QUILAM project which is divided into 3 phases: 1. Development of a tool to assess barriers to medication adherence in chronic patient (COPD, Heart failure, Type 2 diabetes) ; 2. Validation of the instrument (especially against clinical criteria) ; 3. Evaluation of the sensitivity of the tool during educational interventions.

This study will examine the influence of the basal insulins detemir and glargine on risk of cardiovascular death and death from all causes in patients treated by their general practitioner in United Kingdom (UK). The data for this study will be drawn from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) Register.

The purpose of the study is to collect information on how the medicine Victoza® (liraglutide) works in people with Type 2 diabetes in Iran. Patients will get Victoza® as prescribed to them by their study doctor. The study will last for about 5 to 8 months. Patients will be asked to complete some questionnaires about their health and diabetes treatment. Patients will complete these during their normally scheduled visits with study doctor.

The objective of the analysis was to evaluate the relationship between bariatric surgery and cardiovascular outcomes in obese patients with type 2 diabetes. This is a retrospective matched cohort study of patients with diabetes that underwent bariatric surgery at the Cleveland Clinic between 2004-2017. Each bariatric patient was matched to a non-surgical control with obesity and type 2 diabetes in a 1:5 ratio using data from the Electronic Medical Record (EMR). The maximum observation time was 10 years. Cumulative incidence rates for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events were calculated at years 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10. Kaplan-Meier curves were created for all the outcomes with all-cause mortality considered as a completing risk.

This mixed methods study aims to answer the question: "What is the work of being a patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus?" .

Prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasing worldwide over the last two decades; in these patients the rate of all-cause and cardiovascular (CV) mortality is several folds higher than in the general population, configuring a major public health problem. The clinical phenotype is the main determinant of such high mortality risk; however, a relevant role is played by the disease duration, with a significant interaction with metabolic control. However, for T2D the diagnosis does not correspond to the true onset of the disease, and a high lethality rate also in patients with recent onset of the disease cannot be excluded. Robust evidence supports this hypothesis, showing as in subjects with new-onset T2D, the mortality risk is superimposable, and even higher, than that observed in people with overt and long-term T2D. In this complex scenario, it would be desirable an early identification of high-risk patients, in which an accurate estimation of risk of complications, coupled with appropriate and timely interventions, might help in reducing the risk of encountering premature mortality. The present study was design to address this specific issue.

The objective of the study is to measure changes in compliance to statin therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes after an educational intervention. This intervention is part of the therapeutic education of the diabetic patient, carried out throughout the follow-up of his/her diabetes.

A 66-year-old man, with a history of uncontrolled type 2 diabetes, obesity with BMI 38, chronic kidney failure and chronic heart failure, was admitted to the Emergency Department with a large area of necrosis involving the perineal and perianal regions.

Our study is the first multicenter study in Vietnam on clinical phenotypes of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in patients with concurrent type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and hypertension (HTN). The purpose of this study is to identify different phenotypes of the Vietnamese HFpEF-HTN-T2DM population, as well as the association of these phenotypes with long-term outcomes.

In this study researchers want to gain more information on patients who are treated with Metformin for their Type 2 Diabetes. Adult female and male patients with a prescription of a Metformin containing drug will be invited to the study in a public pharmacy after the decision for treatment with Metformin has been made by the treating physician. The pharmacist will provide interested participants access to a special phone App and participants are asked to complete via this phone App a questionnaire on their health situation with special focus on their Type 2 Diabetes. This includes questions on complications and self-care activities in relation to their diabetes, questions on quality of life and health history. There will be no extra visit to the treating doctor or a pharmacy. The study is aiming to have the questionnaire completed by 300 participants.
