Mechanism of Serum PRL in the Development of MAFLD
Type2 DiabetesFatty Liver2 moreMetabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) has currently reached a worldwide epidemic. Serum PRL levels within or outside physiological range have been found to affect metabolic homeostasis differently. However, the relationship between serum PRL and MAFLD among diabetic patients is unclear. The investigators aimed to explore the association between serum PRL and the risk of MAFLD in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
T2DM Intensity Lifestyle Intervention
Diabetes MellitusType 21 moreThis RCT study will evaluate the effect of a lifestyle intervention on overweight or obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The primary hypothesis is that the mHealth-based intensive lifestyle intervention is sufficient to achieve weight loss and maintain glycated hemoglobin control.
Type 2 Diabetes Treatment and Remission With a Very Low-calorie Ketogenic Diet (VLCKD) and Lifestyle...
Type 2 Diabetes MellitusOverweight and ObesityThere is a close association between overweight, abdominal type, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).The scientific literature of recent years shows the existing relationship between weight loss, of 15% or more of body weight, and the positive effect on body composition parameters as well as on glycemic profiles. Specifically, here the investigator focuses on very low carbohydrate ketogenic diets (VLCKDs) as a nutritional strategy for managing excess weight and improving diabetes. Current knowledge is changing the face of T2DM, showing that an effective, appropriate and early intervention can lead to a remission of diabetes involving a partial recovery of insulin secretion as well as its action. Nevertheless, the daily life of the diabetic patient followed in an office can be less linear than that of a patient participating in a study protocol, with planned follow-up visits and close supervision. What about the impact of VLCKD, observed in clinical studies, in patients with T2DM in real-life? In order to answer this question, we would like to analyze here a series of patient files with T2DM and overweight, followed in a private practice, specializing in diabetology, who have adhered to a VLCKD, by a commercial method (PnK® Method), in order to improve their glycemic control.
Effect of Novel Antidiabetic Drug Combined With Angiotensin Receptor/Neprilysin Inhibitor on Urinary...
Type 2 DiabetesAntidiabetic DrugsThe purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of SGLT2i and ARNI in type 2 diabetic patients with combined albuminuria could reduce urinary protein more significantly than single agent.
Mitochondrial Substrate Utilization in the Diabetic Human Heart
Heart FailureType2diabetes3 moreDiabetes can lead to heart failure independently, but the underlying causes remain incompletely understood. The main aim of this study is to identify differential regulation of mitochondrial substrate utilization and complex activity in heart failure and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). For this, we will conduct a prospective, observational study to examine myocardial mitochondrial oxidative function and related metabolic parameters, gene expression, histological markers, and inflammation in cardiac tissue from patients with heart failure or patients after heart transplantation. We will further assess cardiac function using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with and without stress protocols and magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Glycemic control/T2DM will be characterized by oral glucose tolerance tests. The results of this project will help to better understand the cellular mechanisms of the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy and contribute to the development of early diagnostic, as well as therapeutic approaches for the prevention and treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy.
Safety and Efficacy of Insulin Degludec/Insulin Aspart in Patients With T2DM
Type 2 Diabetes MellitusIn this multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-controlled, non-inferiority clinical trial, the efficacy and safety of insulin degludec/insulin aspart (IDegAsp) twice daily will be compared with degludec/insulin aspart (IDegAsp) once daily plus insulin aspart (IAsp) twice daily after 16weeks of treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This trial will enable primary assessment of the clinically relevant endpoint of a change in HbA1c.
Reusing Needles for Subcutaneous Insulin Injection in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
Diabetes MellitusType 2A randomized clinical trial (RCT) will be carried out to compare the reuse or not of needles in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) that use insulin. Two groups will be studied: a group that will not reuse the needles and a group that will reuse the needles five times. The aim of this study is to evaluate related outcomes such as bruises, infection, lipodystrophy, pain and glycemic control, whether or not to reuse insulin delivery needles in patients with T2DM who use insulin.
Montbretin Clinical Trial
Type 2 DiabetesThe goal of this clinical trial is to establish that montbretin A is safe to consume and well tolerated for individuals with Type 2 Diabetes. The trial aims to determine a safe dosage range and identify any potential side effects. Participants will participate in the study over a period of time, during which the study participant will be ingesting montbretin A on a pre-determined schedule with continuous monitoring.
Polypill Versus Metformin in New Onset Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 DiabetesThe goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effect of the GMRx4 polypill compared to metformin monotherapy on glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) when used as first line therapy in adults with recently diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes. The main question it aims to answer is: That the GMRx4 polypill, compared to metformin, will improve glucose lowering in those with recently diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes. Participants will be required to take either: One capsule of the GMRx4 polypill each morning and one 175mg metformin capsule each evening for 16 weeks. Or One metformin 500mg capsule each morning and each evening for 16 weeks. Participants will not know which of the two treatment regimens they will be taking. Participants will be provided with the necessary guidance information, equipment, online support and telephone/video calls from trained members of the study team to complete the study procedures at home although some support from a Healthcare Professional either at home or at a clinic will be offered if needed. The study will involve participants completing the following information and procedures and reporting electronically: Medical History (conditions and treatments) Gender Age Ethnicity/Race Weight Height Blood Pressure Heart Rate Blood collection for measurement of HbA1c (average blood glucose levels over a period of time), fasting glucose, creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) for kidney function, cholesterol, pregnancy (if not measured in a urine sample) Urine pregnancy test in women of child-bearing potential Concomitant Medications taken Safety outcomes Tolerability to the study treatment Adherence with taking the study treatment The number of any unused study treatment capsules
Early Identification of Heart Failure in a High-Risk Diabetic Cohort
Type2diabetesType 2 diabetes is an important co-morbid condition strongly associated with the risk of developing heart failure (HF). Risk scores such as the WATCH-DM score that predict the occurrence of HF among diabetes patients are largely based on data collected from white ethnicities. Here, the investigators sought to investigate surrogate markers for predicting HF among type 2 diabetes patients of Asian ethnicities.
