Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

The SUNI-SEA study is an intervention study that measures effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of prevention and early diagnosis of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases in communities and primary healthcare (PHC) facilities in Indonesia, Myanmar and Vietnam.

The cornerstone in the initial treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is lifestyle modification, involving-among other things-a healthy diet. However, scientific evidence regarding optimal nutrition therapy for patients with T2D is insufficient. This clinical study will examine the effect of a carbohydrate-reduced high-protein (CRHP) diet compared to a conventional diabetes (CD) diet for 12 months on metabolic function and body weight in patients with T2D. The hypothesis of the study is that the CRHP diet will improve metabolic control and the cardiovascular risk profile of patients with T2D to a greater extent than the CD diet. In particular, the expectation is that, compared with the CD diet, the CRHP diet will: Reduce diurnal and postprandial glycemia measured by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and thereby facilitate a significant reduction of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) Reduce body weight Reduce ectopic fat deposition in the liver and the pancreas Improve the blood lipid profile Reduce or not affect blood pressure with no adverse effect on heart rate variability Increase insulin sensitivity and secretion Decrease inflammatory markers in the blood Improve satiety Reduce or not affect the need for antidiabetic, antihypertensive and/or lipid-lowering medications

There has been a rise in type 2 diabetes (T2D) rates in adolescents, disproportionately in girls from disadvantaged racial/ethnic groups. This group of girls also is at heightened risk for depression, and depression and T2D are linked. Depressive symptoms are a risk factor for worsening of insulin sensitivity, one if the major precursors to T2D. In preliminary studies, the investigators found that a brief cognitive-behavioral therapy group decreased depressive symptoms and prevented worsening of insulin sensitivity in adolescent girls at-risk for T2D with moderate depressive symptoms. The aims of this study are: 1) to assess the efficacy of a cognitive-behavioral therapy depression group vs. a health education control group for improving insulin sensitivity and preserving insulin secretion in racially/ethnically diverse adolescent girls at-risk for T2D with moderate depressive symptoms over a 1-year follow-up; 2) to evaluate changes in eating, physical activity, and sleep as explanatory and 3) to test changes in cortisol factors as explanatory.

The present project aims to investigate if the empagliflozin has an antiarrhythmic action. Analyzing the T-wave heterogeneity index, a new electrocardiographic risk marker associated with the prediction of cardiovascular risk, in diabetic patients and coronary artery disease, the investigators will verify if empagliflozin is associated with a reduction in electrical instability.

This trial will determine the clinical effectiveness of polygenic risk score testing among patients at high genetic risk for at least one of six diseases (coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, type 2 diabetes mellitus, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, or prostate cancer), measured by time-to-diagnosis of prevalent or incident disease over 24 months.

This phase 2 study will include patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus and will first study their response to enteric coated aspirin at a dose of 80 mg per day for a 7-day period. Participants with an incomplete platelet inhibition after exposure to EC aspirin at doses of 80 mg once daily will be randomized to a random order of 3 different ASA regimens: EC ASA 162 mg once daily, EC ASA 81 mg twice daily and chewable ASA 40 mg twice daily. The aims are to determine the feasibility of a larger scale trial, and to determine the regimen associated with the lowest proportion of non-responders after randomization. Platelet function will be assessed at baseline and at day 7 of each arms of the study.

The study is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of INS068 once daily (QD) in subjects with type 2 diabetes not adequately controlled with oral antidiabetic drugs compared to insulin Glargine QD for 26+26 weeks.

Diabetes is prevalent in adults admitted to subacute rehab (SAR) and long-term care (LTC) skilled nursing care facilities. Management of diabetes in these facilities is challenging due to number of older adults with higher prevalence of other diseases, functional disability, and altered nutritional intake, which increase the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugars). The investigators propose to conduct this randomized controlled trial to determine whether the use of Dexcom CGM with Glucose Telemetry System (CGM-GTS) with hypoglycemia alarm compared to standard of care using capillary POC testing, will facilitate diabetes treatment and reduce the risk of hypoglycemia in patients with T2D in LTC facilities. Participants in the standard of care group will also wear a CGM (blinded one). The results of this study have great potential to impact and facilitate care and to change current clinical guidelines in the management of older adults with diabetes in SAR and LTC facilities.

A Prospective, Multicenter Evaluation of Accuracy and Safety of the Eversense CGM System with Enhanced Features. The purpose of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the accuracy of the Eversense 524 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (Eversense 524 CGM System) and ROME CGM System with next generation feature enhancements compared to reference glucose measurements in adults 18 years of age and older with diabetes. The investigation will also evaluate safety of the Eversense 524 CGM System and ROME CGM System usage. Additionally, the safety and accuracy of the Eversense 524 CGM System will be evaluated in the pediatric population ages 14-17 with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.

Rural populations in the U.S. are disproportionately burdened by cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Lifestyle modification interventions are needed that support long-term engagement in risk-reducing health behaviors. This trial will study the effects of a family-focused, lifestyle intervention that is culturally tailored for use with rural Hispanic and non-Hispanic adults. If successful, this community-based intervention has significant potential for broad dissemination to reduce cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes health disparities in rural U.S. communities.
