Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

People of black African and Caribbean descent have a greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes than white Europeans. The aim of this study is to increase our knowledge of how the condition may arise, and what underlies this increased risk. Following a successful screening visit to confirm eligibility for the study, we will be investigating how quickly a glucose drink empties out of the stomach in 30 white Europeans and 30 people of black African or Caribbean descent. In addition, we will study the impact that gastric emptying rate has on blood glucose and satiety hormones released normally by the gut in response to eating. Blood and breath samples will be collected before and during an oral glucose tolerance test.

The purpose of this study is to collect historical data in real life conditions in a large group of people who have type 1 or type 2 diabetes and were treated with Tresiba® (insulin degludec) for at least 6 months. Data will be collected beginning 6 months before the participant started Tresiba® up to around 6 months after the participant started taking insulin degludec.

Participants will complete a survey before an educational session, during the "break" of an educational session, or after the session.

The purpose of the study is to collect information on how Ryzodeg® works in real world participants. Participants will get Ryzodeg® as prescribed to them by the study doctor. The study will last for about 6 to 8 months. The participants will be asked questions about their health and their diabetes treatment as part of their normal study doctor's appointment.

This study explored the cross-sectional and prospective associations between light-to-moderate alcohol consumption (LMAC) and risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in individuals with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

This is a longitudinal study that will collect demographic, anthropometric and dietary data to determine the relationships between meat and egg intake and the incidence of Type 2 Diabetes.

Background/Rationale: Objectives and Hypotheses: To describe characteristics of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) prescribed dapagliflozin in routine internal medicine and endocrinology outpatient clinical care in Turkey; to describe changes in HbA1c(%), weight(kg), BMI(kg/m^2) and blood pressure (BP)(mmHg) in these patients; and the discontinuation rates of dapagliflozin in the first 6 months of treatment. Methods: Study design: a retrospective observational cohort study. Data Source(s): Patient medical records of 81 different centres. Study Population: patients with a diagnosis of T2D, a first prescription for dapagliflozin, between July 2016 and Aug 2017 and who have been registered in the participating centre at least 6 months prior to first prescription of dapagliflozin. Study variables: patient characteristics: age, gender, smoking status, co-morbidities, duration of diabetes, prescribed medicines, HbA1c(%), weight(kg), body mass index (BMI)(kg/m^2) and blood pressure (BP)(mmHg). Outcome(s): description of patient characteristics, HbA1c(%), weight(kg), BMI(kg/m^2) and BP(mmHg) at baseline and during use of dapagliflozin at first visit (2,3 or 4 months) and second visit (5 or 6 months). Sample Size Estimations:1500 patients Statistical Analysis: the baseline characteristics and follow up variables will be described using frequency and percentage distributions for categorical variables. Continuous and count variables will be described using mean (± standard deviation), median (quartiles) and 95% confidence intervals. Proportion of patients falling above/below certain weight(kg)/BMI(kg/m^2), HbA1c(%) and BP(mmHg) thresholds will be derived. HbA1c(%), weight(kg), BMI(kg/m^2) and BP(mmHg) will be described at baseline and during use of dapagliflozin. Over all questionnaire response rate and rate of response to reasons for prescribing dapagliflozin will be described. Limitations: Variation in timing and completeness of clinical measures. The patient medical records are not collected for research purposes and the diagnostic and procedure coding on such data may be recorded incorrectly or not recorded at all, thereby potentially introducing measurement error with respect to code-based variables. The centres participating in the study, record that a prescription was issued, but not whether it was dispensed from the pharmacy.

The WHO (World Health Organisation) estimated the prevalence of diabetes to be 422 million people in 2014, compared to 108 million in 1980. This has led to an increasing number of diabetic patients referred to nephrologists for diagnostic purposes. Diabetic nephropathy is the most common renal disease in this population and is usually a presumptive diagnosis based on clinical and biological features although microscopic examination of a renal sample acquired through renal biopsy is the only way to be certain of this diagnosis. However, kidney biopsy is an invasive procedure carrying a low but incontestable risk of adverse event such as post-procedural pain and bleeding. Consequently, nephrologist around the world feel that renal biopsy should only be performed in patients with type 2 diabetes to detect non-diabetic renal disease, when the diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy is dubious or unlikely. This likeliness is based on the presence or absence of typical feature such as diabetic retinopathy, hematuria, progressive decline of renal function or increase of proteinuria, long duration of diabetes, nephrotic syndrome. These feature were identified by the comparison of patients with type 2 diabetes and non-diabetic renal disease (alone or associated to diabetic nephropathy) and isolated diabetic nephropathy. However, it is not known if the presence (or absence) of these atypical features by themselves are indeed signs of non-diabetic renal disease and necessitate to perform renal biopsy. The aim of the study is to determine if these atypical features are relevant indications to perform renal biopsy. To answer this question, will be analyze the medical records of patients with type 2 diabetes who underwent renal biopsy in five French nephrology center to determine, in each case, the indication of the biopsy and if this latter benefitted the patients. In addition, will be evaluate the prognosis value of the Renal Pathology Society classification of diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy.

The purpose of the study is to collect information on how semaglutide works in real world patients. Participants will get semaglutide prescribed to them by their doctor. The study will last for about 6 to 8 months. Participants will be asked to complete some questionnaires about their health and diabetes treatment. Participants will complete these during their normally scheduled visits with their doctor.
