Active clinical trials for "Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2"

Insulin resistance and hyperglycemia predispose individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to endothelial dysfunction and a greater risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Increased CVD risk in individuals with T2DM persists despite optimal pharmacological therapy, highlighting the need to identify complementary lifestyle interventions that improve cardiometabolic functions in this population. Evidence from animal models suggests that heat exposure improves metabolic functions. Notably, weekly heat exposure for 16 weeks blunts hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia induced by a high fat diet in mice. In parallel, studies in humans have shown that heat exposure improves vascular endothelial function. Based on such findings, it has been suggested that heat therapy may represent an effective lifestyle intervention to improve cardiometabolic functions. However, only 1 study has examined the impact of a heat therapy intervention on individuals with T2DM, demonstrating that 6 weeks of heat exposure reduces fasting plasma glucose and hemoglobin A1C. No study has considered potential vascular benefits of heat therapy in individuals with T2DM. This project will investigate cardiometabolic responses to repeated heat exposure in men and women with T2DM. We will test the hypothesis that 12 weeks of heat therapy improves postprandial fatty acid handling, insulin sensitivity and endothelial function in individuals with T2DM.

In this study, the effects of SG with DJB and SG alone for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) will be compared in patients other than the two groups at both extremes who are expected to show excellent effects of metabolic surgery with SG alone (mild T2DM) and who need SG with DJB (severe T2DM). This study is to target patients with poor blood sugar control despite current medical treatment, although the beta-cell function of the pancreas is preserved. Therefore, this study is aimed at patients who have been using insulin for less than 10 years with T2DM, or taking diabetic medications with HbA1c ≥ 7.0% for less than 10 years with T2DM. The investigators hypothesize that the treatment effects of SG with DJB for T2DM will be superior to that of SG in this group

This study is to assess the safety and performance of the Neurotronic Infusion Catheter and ethanol denervation of renal and hepatic arteries for the treatment of patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM), Hypertension and Obesity.

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.

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.

To examine the effects of aerobic exercise and foot exercises in addition to aerobic exercise on lower extremity distal tissue mechanics, muscle strength and neuropathy symptoms in type 2 diabetics with peripheral neuropathy. Subjects will be divided into three groups through randomization.Subjects in the 1st group will be included in the control group and will continue their routine medical treatment for 12 weeks. Subjects in the 2nd group, in addition to their medical treatment, only aerobic exercise training,subjects in the 3rd group will be given aerobic exercise training and exercises for the foot and ankle in addition to their medical treatment. After 12 weeks of training, subjects will be followed for another 12 weeks. subjects will be evaluated before treatment, at 12 and 24 weeks.

Hyperglycemia affects 30-40% of hospitalized patients. Despite the fact that basal/bolus insulin therapy has been demonstrated to improve glycemic control and clinical outcomes in patients, achieving good glucose control remains a challenge. This study examines the effects of Fiasp (a faster acting insulin) on blood sugars after meals compared to another type of insulin known as Novolog. The study will be performed in patients with type 2 diabetes admitted to the hospital, who are not in the intensive care unit, and who are being seen by the inpatient diabetes consult team. Eligible participants will be treated with Fiasp or Novolog injected multiple times a day before meals and at bedtime, in addition to a once daily injection of insulin glargine as basal insulin. Which type of meal time insulin (Fiasp vs Novolog) the subject gets is decided by chance, like the flip of a coin. Insulin doses will be started and titrated based on a protocol. All the subjects will wear a blinded continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)) sensor placed in their arm which they will wear for 72 hours during the study. The glucose values from the CGM, collected during the time it is worn, will be downloaded and compared to assess the response to the two different types of insulins - Fiasp and Novolog. The goal is to determine if Fiasp works as well as or better than Novolog in controlling blood sugars, particularly after meals, in the subjects of the study.

The study aims to assess the effects of a microbiota-based product containing Intestinimonas in adults with pre-diabetes. The purpose is to determine the safety and efficacy of the microbiota-based product on insulin sensitivity in a target group of prediabetic individuals. In particular, the objective is to evaluate whether Intestinimonas is able to improve the insulin sensitivity, the response to the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and whether it is able to modulate the microbiota composition in the study subjects.

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.
