Effects of Fluid Milk in Attenuating Hyperglycemia and Hypertriglyceridemia After Meal
Oral Glucose Tolerance TestHigh Fat Tolerance TestEpidemiological studies indicate that risk of type 2 diabetes is lower when milk is consumed in the regular diet. Milk products are unique in that they produce high insulin response despite their low glycemic index. The general aim of the proposed study is to determine the effect of fluid milk on attenuating the postprandial surge in plasma glucose and triglyceride after meals and its associated physiological mechanisms. The investigators hypothesize that the consumption of one or two servings of non-fat milk added to a standard oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) solution or the high fat tolerance test meal will attenuate postprandial hyperglycemia and triglyceridemia. The investigators hypothesize that the postulated improvement in postprandial metabolic response due to the consumption of fluid milk will be associated with increased postprandial insulin secretion as well as insulin-mediated endothelial vasodilation and whole-limb perfusion.
Effect of Acarbose on Postprandial Lipoprotein Levels in Glucose Intolerant Patients
Glucose IntolerancePostprandial Hyperglycemia1 moreIs a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to determine the behavior of hyperglycemia and postprandial lipemia after a standard mixed meal load in patients with carbohydrate intolerance treated with acarbose.
Impact of Consumption of Beta-glucans on the Intestinal Microbiota and Glucose and Lipid Metabolism...
Metabolic SyndromeDyslipidemia4 moreThe purpose of this study is to investigate if daily consumption of barley beta-glucans effect lipid and glucose metabolism and alter intestinal microbiota composition in participants with metabolic syndrome or with high risk for metabolic syndrome development. It is assumed that 4-week intervention with beta-glucans will improve some clinical signs of metabolic syndrome and alter composition of intestinal microbiota. Variation in microbiota composition will be investigated with emphasis on Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes ratio. Furthermore it is presupposed that consumption of beta-glucans will stimulate growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria from genus Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria and consequently effect production of short chain fatty acids in population with metabolic syndrome. Moreover it is presupposed that 4-week consumption of beta-glucans will have influence on glucose metabolism and will consequently improve insulin resistance within people with metabolic syndrome or high risk for metabolic syndrome development. It is assumed that 4-week consumption of beta-glucans will improve specific plasma lipid content in population with metabolic syndrome.
The Management of Glucocorticoid-Induced Hyperglycemia in Hospitalized Patients
HyperglycemiaDiabetes MellitusThe investigators hypothesize that includes patient weight and glucocorticoid dose can be used to safely initiate insulin treatment in diabetic/hyperglycemic patients who are to be treated with pharmacological doses of glucocorticoids.
Inpatient Closed-loop Glucose Control
Diabetes MellitusHyperglycemiaThe purpose of this study is to test an experimental medical device designed to automatically control blood sugar. This device was designed for use by patients with diabetes while they are in the hospital, and others who may develop high blood sugar as a result of their medical problems.
Safety and Efficacy Study of Empagliflozin and Metformin for 24 Weeks in Treatment Naive Patients...
Diabetes MellitusType 21 moreThis study will investigate the efficacy and safety of two doses (high and low) of empagliflozin in combination with metformin (500 mg and 1000 mg) administered twice daily in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Study will compare four dose combinations of empagliflozin + metformin versus each individual component after 24 weeks of treatment.
Can Whey Protein Improve Glycemic Control in Type 2 Diabetes?
Type 2 Diabetes MellitusHyperglycemiaThe purpose of this study is to investigate whether intake of protein supplement just before meals lowers the blood sugar levels after the meals. It is believe that pre-meal administration of a high-protein supplement can effectively improve glycemic control in type 2 diabetes (DM).
Glucose Control During Glucocorticoid Therapy in Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary...
Hyperglycemia Steroid-inducedPurpose of this study is to treat glucocorticoid induced hyperglycemia due to glucocorticoid pulse therapy in a efficacious, safe and convenient way. Patients with acute exacerbation of COPD treated with glucocorticoid pulse therapy and at high risk for glucocorticoid induced hyperglycemia (defined as known type 2 DM or glucose > 10mmol/l at admission) will be randomized to treatment of dapagliflozin or placebo orally, once daily. Percentage of time within glucose target range (3,9-10 mmol/l) and incidence rate of hypoglycemia will be compared between dapagliflozin group and placebo group.
Effect of Meal Frequency on Glycemic Control of People at High Risk or Diagnosed With Diabetes
Impaired Glucose ToleranceHyperinsulinism3 moreThis study investigated any potential associations between two isocaloric diets with different meal frequency (3 meals versus 6 meals) and glycemic control in people at high diabetes risk (lean and overweight/obese women with PCOS, individuals with hyperinsulinemia, individuals with impaired glucose tolerance) and diagnosed with diabetes.
Evaluate Safety as Mono or Combination Therapies With Anti-diabetes Mellitus Drugs in Japanese Subjects...
Type2 DiabetesHigh Blood SugarThis is a long term, single arm, open label study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of dapagliflozin as monotherapy or in combination therapy with other anti diabetic drug in Japanese subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have inadequate blood sugar control on diet and exercise or on other anti-diabetic treatment will be included in this study.
