Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if blood sugar monitoring using a FreeStyle Libre device can improve overall Diabetes control in people with Type 2 Diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the effect of monitoring using the FreeStyle Libre device for a period of 12 weeks on the blood sugar control of people with Type 2 Diabetes? Can monitoring using the FreeStyle Libre device improve the quality of life of people with Type 2 diabetes? Participants will be asked to wear one of two brands of FreeStyle Libre devices. In one group, participants will have 3 visits, while those in the second group, they will have 4 visits. Researchers will compare the improvement in the sugar control for the individuals but also compare between the 2 groups.

A family dyad-focused diabetes self-management for African American adults with type 2 diabetes is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) that aims to test the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of a family-dyad focused intervention on glycemic control (hemoglobin A1c) and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in African American adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of an AR dental care training in health education on periodontal status, blood sugar control and quality of life in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes. This randomized controlled trial included experimental group: AR group (EG-A), AR-health consulting group (EG-B) and control group (CG), respectively. The EG-A and EG-B received AR dental care training intervention 2 to 3 times during non-surgical periodontal treatment. Baseline and follow-up surveys were used to collect the data in periodontal index, blood sugar data, oral health knowledge, attitudes, behavior, oral health-related quality of life.

This clinical trial aims to analyze the effects of concurrent vs aerobic training on glycemic control, ABI, functional capacity and disease-specific QOL among patients with Type-II DM-associated PAD at baseline & after 12 weeks of intervention. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is concurrent training more effective than aerobic training in improving glycemic control among patients with Type-II DM-associated PAD? Is concurrent training more effective than aerobic training in improving ABI among patients with Type-II DM-associated PAD? Is concurrent training more effective than aerobic training in enhancing functional capacity among patients with Type-II DM-associated PAD? Is concurrent training more effective than aerobic training in improving QOL among patients with Type-II DM-associated PAD? Signed informed consent will be taken before participation. For exercise training, Both will perform Warm up for 10 - 12 minutes, followed by 30 - 60 minutes of training protocol and then Cool down exercises for 10 - 12 minutes. Group A will perform concurrent training, whereas Group B will perform aerobic training.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) compared to placebo on biomarkers of oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who are treated with metformin but did not meet the target HbA1C < 7%.

This 12-week controlled diet and weight intervention study seeks to define the molecular pathways that link excess body weight to the development of insulin resistance (IR). Blood, adipose and stool are sampled at three timepoints; baseline, peak weight (4 weeks) and post weight loss to monitor changes in cellular processes. Additionally, direct insulin sensitivity testing, and radiological measurement of visceral fat and intrahepatic fat content is measured at three timepoints to correlate clinical indices with cellular changes.

This is a randomized controlled trial to examine whether personalized guidance to increase the consumption of fiber rich food items according to the Dutch dietary guidelines, compared to usual care, improves health of individuals with type 2 diabetes.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of colchicine and non-enteric coated aspirin, combined or alone, to improve cardiovascular outcomes in high-risk patients with type 2 diabetes.

The investigators intend to perform a landmark study to answer whether a combined CVD screening and treatment strategy is beneficial for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) without known cardiovascular disease (CVD) The investigators aim to answer the following main research questions: Do screening detected high-risk patients benefit of intensified medical treatment? Is it safe to de-intensify medical treatment among patients with a screening detected low risk of CVD? Does a CVD screening and treatment program improve patient reported health status? Cardiovascular risk remains high in patients with T2DM but unevenly distributed. Our current risk stratification strategies are far from optimal leading to both under- and over-treatment of patients. In recent years, noninvasive imaging of subclinical coronary artery disease by cardiac CT has improved considerably. This allows for easily accessible evaluations of coronary atherosclerosis burden and composition - exceptionally strong imaging biomarkers of future cardiovascular disease. An increasing amount of data suggests that cardiac CT may permit better risk stratification in patients with T2DM. At the same time, the pharmaceutical treatment of T2DM has changed with several new and expensive drug classes, each individually documented to reduce the risk for new or recurrent cardiovascular events. Thus, these new drugs may improve outcome in high-risk patients, whereas they may be wasteful and only lead to side effects in low-risk patients. In the Inten-CT study, the investigators combine these two pivotal developments. The investigators intend to improve risk stratification of patients with T2DM by use of cardiac CT and, based on this knowledge, the investigators wish to investigate if upgraded medical treatment in the high-risk population is beneficial and if de-intensified treatment in the low-risk population is safe. As a secondary aim, the investigators wish to investigate if such a strategy improves patient reported health status. These aims are in agreement with one of the important health indicators from The Danish College of General Practitioners: "We find and treat the patients and let the healthy stay healthy". The investigators intend with this strategy to improve not only cardiovascular outcome among patients with T2DM, but also their quality of life. The Inten-CT study is an investigator-initiated open-label event-driven randomized controlled trial including patients with T2DM stratified according to screen detected coronary artery calcification. The investigators expect inclusion of 7300 patients in 2 years and a mean follow-up period of 5 years.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of sleeve gastrectomy combined with pancreas after kidney (PAK) transplantation as a means of achieving normoglycemia, insulin independence, reduced insulin resistance, and kidney graft function preservation in the T2DM population. in the first year post pancreas after kidney transplant. Safety and efficacy data will be collected from the time of enrollment until participants reach 1 year post PAK transplant. Data will be compared to historical data from TGH's renal and pancreas transplant programs.
