Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

Introduction Diabetes mellitus is a worrying global non-communicable disease where it is affecting 18.3% of Malaysian adults. Poorly managed diabetes leads to an array of serious complications, namely heart attack, kidney failure and stroke. Insulin therapy remains one of the most important medication in treating diabetes especially in the population with high sugar readings or long standing diabetes. Outpatient consultations for T2DM patients are spaced out due to the limited amount of treating physicians and clinic time. This resorts to the importance of outpatient patient-lead insulin titration. Different guidelines from local and international showed different basal insulin titration method in achieving ideal fasting blood sugar. Objective We aim to investigate the difference of basal insulin titration methods in reducing HbA1c among the T2DM patients. Methodology In a parallel group randomized controlled trial, we aim to recruit 70 adult T2DM patients who have poorly controlled T2DM ( HbA1c > 7.5% with FPG >8mmol/L) or newly diagnosed T2DM patients (who are symptomatic or HbA1c >10% or FPG >13 mmol/L). The subjects will be randomized to 2 groups, daily basal insulin titration and 3 daily basal insulin titration. These subjects will be follow up for 12 weeks (4th week and 8th week virtual consultation and 12th week face-to-face consultation). The primary outcome is the HbA1c reduction from baseline to the end of 12weeks intervention. The secondary outcomes are percentage of T2DM patients achieving fasting blood sugar within 4.4-7mmol/L and/or HbA1c <7% within the study period, the incidence of hypoglycemia, total daily basal insulin dosage required to achieve desired fasting blood sugar, duration taken to achieve desired fasting blood sugar, weight changes and satisfaction to the therapy between the 2 intervention groups. Clinical Significance This study enables us to evaluate the efficacy of the different basal insulin titration methods among the T2DM patients.

The aim of the current study is to determine the effects of vitamin K2 supplementation on muscle size and function in adults with muscle weakness and type 2 diabetes.

Study subjects will be randomly assigned to the three groups and receive the study drug for maximum of 156 weeks and undergo blood samplings and other diabetes mellitus-related tests. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the durability of glycemic control over 3 years for patients with type 2 diabetes on diet and exercise therapy treated with oral hypoglycemic drug monotherapy.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with increased fracture risk despite normal to increased bone mass, thus suggesting poor bone quality. This study is aimed at weighing the effect of an exercise intervention program on parameters of bone quality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Two hundred patients with T2DM will be randomized to supervised exercise training on top of standard care (exercise, EXE, group; n=100) versus standard care (control, CON, group; n=100) for 24 months.

HYPOTHESIS: Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) have distinct pathophysiologic etiologies. Therefore, therapeutic interventions designed to correct the specific underlying pathogenic abnormalities in IGT and IFG will be required to optimally prevent the progressive beta cell failure and development of overt type 2 diabetes.

This study will advance the investigator's knowledge of the integrated cardiorenal and humoral physiology in type 2 diabetic patients with and without pre-clinical diastolic dysfunction, and test a novel therapeutic strategy which may prevent a progression to symptomatic Stage C heart failure

Diabetes costs the U.S. healthcare system more than any other disease, and nearly half of Americans will develop either diabetes or prediabetes in their lifetime. It is therefore critical to find new strategies to treat or reverse diabetes. One such approach is adopting a healthy diet, which can dramatically improve blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes and even induce diabetes remission. Despite this, not much is known about which food groups are most effective at improving blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes. Interestingly, of the various food groups that comprise the Mediterranean diet, epidemiologic data suggests that whole fruit may be one of the most efficacious at both preventing type 2 diabetes and improving blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, few clinical trials have investigated the effects of whole fruit on blood sugar control. This study will therefore be the first to determine the effects of increasing whole fruit as a food group in type 2 diabetes patients. This supervised controlled feeding trial will test whether consuming a diet rich in whole fruit for 12 weeks can induce diabetes remission and can improve blood sugar, liver fat, and cardiovascular health in adults with type 2 diabetes. Thereafter, participants will be followed for up to one year. As a secondary aim, this study will also test whether consuming a large amount of fructose in whole food form negatively affects liver fat and cardiovascular health.

The Investigator is trying to ascertain whether an FDA approved medication of T2DM, Semaglutide, can improve the number, function and gene expression of subjects CD34+ endothelial progenitor cells. EPCs are the source of cells protecting the inner lining of blood vessels and improving their survivability will improve cardiovascular outcome as high glucose environment of diabetes are toxic to these EPC Cells. Improve mitochondrial metabolism of Mesenchymal Stem Cell from subcutaneous fatty tissue, leading to weight loss. Improve overall vascular health by reducing inflammation. The investigator will enroll 40 subjects with T2DM who are only on metformin. The study consists of 4 visits to the GW MFA, including screening visit. Subjects will be recruited from across the DMV area, and prescreened over the phone or in clinic, and then invited for an in-person screening visit at the GW MFA to determine eligibility. If eligible, subject will be enrolled into one of two study Arms, active semaglutide 1 mg or Placebo. This study will include an up titration of study drug. From week 0-4 subject will be on 0.25 mg/week, from week 5-8 subject will take 0.5mg/week, and week 9 to 24 subject will take 1 mg/week of Semaglutide or Placebo. During the regular 3 visits subject will have their vital measured, body composition assessed using Tanita scale, arterial stiffness measured and blood drawn for EPC cells analysis and standard of care labs. At visit 1 and visit 3, fat biopsy will be done on the belly area to acquire 2-3 grams of fat tissue. Screening will take place at week -2, Visit1 at week 0, Visit 2 at week 8, Visit 3 at week 24. Subject will receive follow-up phone calls on week 4, week16 and week 28.

Low testosterone and diabetes mellitus are each associated with increased risk for fractures. Men with diabetes mellitus are commonly found to have low testosterone as well. Testosterone has been shown to improve the bone health of patients with low testosterone but has not been tested in patients who also have diabetes mellitus in addition to low testosterone. To date, there is no treatment that is specifically recommended for bone disease among patients with diabetes. This study will evaluate the effect of testosterone on the bone health of male Veterans who have both diabetes and low testosterone, both of which are highly prevalent in this subset of the population.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue liraglutide in the treatment of acute minor stroke (National Institute of Health stroke scale, NIHSS ≤ 3) or high-risk transient ischemic attack (TIA) (ABCD2 score ≥ 4 ) patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
