Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are a class of organic pollutants in the environment characterized by persistent, bioaccumulation, long-range transport and biological toxicity. Due to its widespread distribution in the environment and Lipophilicity, POPs can bioaccumulate along the food chain and eventually accumulate in the human body. There are many types of POPs, including dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) , polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) . POPs is ubiquitous and Lipophilic in the environment, so the potential harm of POPs to human body has aroused wide concern. A growing number of studies have found that exposure to POPs may be associated with an increased risk of endocrine disease, particularly type 2 diabetes and thyroid cancer. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of Persistent organic pollutant exposure on the development ofType 2 diabetes and thyroid cancer by analyzing serum Persistent organic pollutant concentrations in controls, and patients with Type 2 diabetes and thyroid cancer.

THE GOALS of the STUDY are: (1) Determine if this novel continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) - multiple daily injection (MDI) port functions for 7 days in persons with Type 2 diabetes (T2D); (2) Measure the duration of glucose measurement errors that result from injecting liquid into the tissue. It is believed that these errors will be small and will not exceed 15-20 min in duration; (3) Determine how safe this device is; (4) In a survey given to subjects and other subjects after the study, to assess satisfaction and convenience vs standard MDI; (5) Assess accuracy of the glucose sensor; and (6) Compare how well subjects' glucose is controlled with the new device compared to the comparison (control) period in which subjects use standard MDI, during which the injections will be far away from the CGM.

This is a phase I, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, single- and multiple-ascending dose study to evaluate new study intervention, PS1. PS1 is a potential blood glucose control medication, which is developed by Pharmasaga Co. Ltd. planned for treating type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This is a first-in-human study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and food effect of PS1 in healthy subjects.

The co-administration of SGLT2 inhibitor and GLP-1 receptor agonist would be safe and effective on glycemic control in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus and MAFLD better than empagliflozin or dulaglutide alone. The SGLT2 inhibitor and GLP-1 receptor agonist would be safe and effective on fatty liver disease in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus and MAFLD.

Activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) by cold exposure. BAT thermogenesis and BAT volume of metabolic activity will be assessed by Positron-Emitting-Tomography (PET/CT) and MRI/MRS imaging and new pharmacological methods to modulate BAT thermogenesis. All previous data on the functioning of Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT) were obtained by Positron-Emitting-Tomography (PET) imaging studies using fluorodeoxyglucose F18 ( [18F]- FDG). This approach underestimates the actual activity of the BAT. In this study, the investigator is going to use a new PET tracer (C11-palmitate) which is a fat molecule. This will allow to quantify more accurately the activity of brown fat.

This study has 3 aims. Aim 1: Identify social determinants of cardiometabolic health and determine facilitators and modifiable barriers in achieving treatment goals. Aim 2: Assess PLWH knowledge, skills, and confidence for self-management of cardiometabolic disorders. Aim 3: Tailor a self-management support and education intervention with stakeholder input to address barriers to achieving treatment goals for cardiometabolic disorders in PLWH at the study sites.

Background: - Family and twin studies have suggested that genetic factors influence approximately 50 percent of a person's susceptibility to type 2 diabetes. Recently, some of the genes involved in the development of type 2 diabetes have been identified, in large part by genome-wide association studies. Certain risk factors for type 2 diabetes, such as obesity and insulin resistance, are highly inheritable, as are diabetic complications such as diabetes-related eye and kidney disorders. However, few genes associated or linked with diabetes risk factors or complications have been conclusively identified, and more research is needed to study specific genetic factors associated with these aspects of diabetes. Objectives: - To identify and characterize genetic variants associated with type 2 diabetes, its risk factors, and its complications. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who are not pregnant or nursing mothers at the start of the study. Design: All participants will provide information about family history, ethnicity and ethnic background, occupation, behavioral risk factors, and other data as requested by the researchers. In addition to a general health history, participants will provide specific information about diabetes history, with particular emphasis on date of diagnosis, symptoms, initiation of insulin therapy, complications, and current medications. Testing procedures will be different for individuals with and without diabetes. Those without diabetes will have an oral glucose tolerance test, while those with diabetes will be examined for diabetic complications. Other tests during the study will include the following: Physical examination with measurements of height and weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, and other tests for individuals who have been diagnosed with diabetes Glucose tolerance test for those who have not been classified as having diabetes Retinal photographs Electrocardiograms Hepatic Ultrasound Blood and urine tests Depending on the results of the examination and laboratory findings, participants may be asked to return to the clinic for supplemental interviews, physical examinations, or blood tests, or to arrange referrals for medical evaluation and treatment. Participants who have diabetes will be asked to return for yearly follow-up visits. Participants who do not have diabetes at the initial examination will be asked to return for follow-up visits every 2 years.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and drug levels of a 3-month exenatide implant (NPM-119) for the treatment of type 2 diabetes

The present observational cross-sectional study is aimed to assess: the hidden hypercortisolism (HidHyCo) prevalence in a sample of Type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients and the clinical characteristics more frequently associated with the HidHyCo presence and the HidHyCo prevalence in an adequate sample of obese patients without T2D and the clinical characteristics more frequently associated with the HidHyCo presence.

The goal of this research study is to evaluate a programme that is based on Compassionate Mind Training (CMT) over four-weeks. The programme intends to share information and strategies to reduce diabetes distress, self-criticism, and shame, and improve physical health in people who have Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
