The aim of the study is to observe patients with Type 2 Diabetes on basal insulin alone or basal insulin with oral agents can be efficiently and safely started with meal time insulin using U100 rapid acting insulin analog and V-Go® Disposable Insulin Delivery Device (V-Go) using one of two dose titration algorithms to achieve improved A1C at 4 months.
The study is a small pilot, designed to provide data regarding the feasibility and acceptability of conducting such a study on a larger scale. The present study is a randomized controlled clinical trial comparing two mindfulness-based lifestyle modification programs to help people manage diabetes and lose weight, one using on a low-carbohydrate diet (LC) and the other using a moderate-carbohydrate diet promoted by the American Diabetes Association (ADA). Intervention content will include information about nutrition (carbohydrate restriction or American Diabetes Association recommended diet) and emotion regulation and mindful eating strategies.
This study compares insulin icodec, a new insulin taken once a week, to insulin glargine, an insulin taken once a day. The study medicine will be investigated in participants with type 2 diabetes. Participants will either get insulin icodec or insulin glargine. Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. Insulin icodec is the new medicine being tested, while insulin glargine is already approved and can be prescribed by doctors. Participants will get one injection of insulin icodec once a week, or one injection of insulin glargine once a day, depending on the treatment group participants are assigned into. Participants will use a pen with a small needle to inject the medicine under participants skin into participants thigh, upper arm or stomach.The study will last for about 9 months, but participants will only be taking the study medicine for 6 months.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel group study of HU6 and placebo in subjects who are overweight or obese with T2D. The study will be conducted in 4 stages.
This study aims to culturally adapt an existing American Diabetes Association (ADA)-recognized diabetes self-management and support or DSMES (Diabetes Self Management Education Support) program (Project Dulce) and integrate an evidence-based text messaging program (Dulce Digital) for implementation in Filipino Americans (FAs) with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Cultural adaptations aims to facilitate and enhance patient centered approaches and increase participant engagement by addressing barriers to DSMES unique to FAs, such as linguistic challenges, health literacy and numeracy, cultural beliefs and values, and technology access and use. In addition, this study aims to examine the effectiveness of the culturally and digitally adapted Project Dulce + Dulce Digital in improving diabetes knowledge, belief, attitudes, hemoglobin A1C (glycosylated hemoglobin), and self-management behaviors at baseline to 3 months and 6 months. The unprecedented increase of T2DM prevalence among racial and ethnic minority populations including FAs in recent decades demands for effective strategies to meet the needs in DSMES in this population. The outcomes of the current study will demonstrate that the culturally adapted Project Dulce and integration of Dulce Digital is effective in addressing the needs FAs, an underserved racial and ethnic minority group in high need of culturally appropriate DSMES.
The purpose of this study is to establish safety of biweekly intermittent fasting in the setting of type 2 diabetes mellitus or prediabetes under treatment with non-hypoglycemic agents (e.g. metformin).
The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of high protein (HP) vs. normal protein (NP) diets on weight loss, loss of fat free mass (FFM), and remission of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in individuals with T2D. Both diet groups will receive dietary and physical activity guidance through a group-based weight loss program, State of Slim (SOS). The central hypothesis is that the HP diet (with ≥4 weekly servings of lean beef) will lead to greater remission of T2D vs. a NP diet by 1) producing greater weight loss and limiting weight regain and 2) preferentially reducing fat mass while preserving FFM.
To evaluate the effect of onyx sorghum on blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of a computer assisted decision support (CADS)system by primary care providers (PCPs) for their patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) changes the quality of care relative to a "usual care" group in terms of objective outcome measures of glycemic control (e.g., A1C, mean blood glucose, frequency of hypoglycemic episodes) and in terms of subjective ratings by patients.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of two different kinds of diabetes medications, insulin detemir (Levemir) and exenatide (Byetta), in improving blood sugar levels with little or no weight gain in patients with type 2 diabetes who are not well controlled on two or more oral (by mouth) diabetes medications. Both medications are given by injection with a very small needle just below the surface of your skin (called subcutaneous injection). The medication that you inject will be in addition to your oral medications.
The purpose of this study is to determine if BMS-770767 is safe, well tolerated, measure its levels in the blood (pharmacokinetics), and measure the levels of chemicals (biomarkers) that may be affected by this drug (pharmacodynamics) in a type 2 diabetes patient population
Twelve smoking and twelve non-smoking subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus will be enrolled in this study to determine the effect of Technosphere® Insulin Inhalation Powder on insulin in the body during a clamp procedure.
The purpose of this 13 month study (12 month treatment period and 1 month follow-up period) is to determine whether inhaled insulin is safe and effective in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
To determine the effect on glycemic control and lipid parameters of the 2.5 and 5 mg. doses of BMS-298585 in drug naive subjects with Type 2 diabetes as an adjunct to diet and exercise.
The aim of this study is to test the efficacy of financial incentives augmented telephone-delivered diabetes education and skills training intervention in improving HbA1c levels in African Americans (AA) with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
This Phase II study is a randomized, parallel group, double blinded, placebo-controlled, multicenter to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of AZD6234 in adults with overweight or obesity and type 2 diabetes on stable GLP-1 RA therapy.
Coronary vascular dysfunction is highly prevalent among patients with known or suspected Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)1, increases the severity of inducible myocardial ischemia (beyond the effects of upstream coronary obstruction)2, and identifies patients at high risk for serious adverse events, including cardiac death1, 3-5. Diabetic patients without known CAD with impaired coronary vascular function show a risk of cardiac death comparable to, and possibly higher, than that for non-diabetic patients with known CAD10. In the setting of increased oxygen demand, coronary vasodilator dysfunction can upset the supply-demand relationship and lead to myocardial ischemia, subclinical left ventricular dysfunction (diastolic and systolic), and symptoms. The significance of microvascular coronary dysfunction is increasingly recognized as invasive and non-invasive (PET) methods of quantifying CFR become available. Importantly, current treatment strategies for obstructive CAD, such as percutaneous coronary intervention with angioplasty and stenting, are not helpful in microvascular disease. Similarly, mortality-altering treatments for systolic heart failure, such as angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, have not been beneficial in treating diastolic dysfunction.
The Investigators will generate a repository of human biosamples across therapeutic areas that will be used to identify disease-associated biomarkers and potential targets with immune and multi-omics profiling. This sample collection and analysis from people living with type 2 diabetes, or chronic or diabetic kidney disease will lay the groundwork for an extensive network of biosample access and linked datasets that will provide an invaluable resource for translational research.
The current protocol plans to enroll participants with youth-onset Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) as well as obese and lean controls from the Renal-HEIR - Renal Hemodynamics, Energetics and Insulin Resistance in Youth Onset Type 2 Diabetes Study (n=100) \[COMIRB #16-1752\] in a prospective investigation that seeks to 1) define the changes in kidney function by gold standard techniques and energetics by functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in adolescents with and without T2D as they transition to young adulthood; 2) quantify kidney oxidative metabolism by 11C-acetate Positron Emission Tomography (PET) in a subset of participants who are ≥18 years of age with youth-onset T2D and/or obesity; 3) determine peripheral arterial stiffness by SphygmoCor. Mechanistic insight will be provided by transcriptomic analyses of repeat biopsies 3-years after their initial biopsy for eligible participants with youth-onset T2D, as well as molecular analysis of tissue obtained from J-wire endovascular biopsies. This study will also leverage this well-characterized cohort of youths to define youth-onset T2D-related changes in brain morphology and function by structural MRI and resting-state functional MRI and through the assessment of cognitive function (fluid and crystallized intelligence) using the NIH Toolbox Cognitive Battery (NIHTB-CB), as an exploratory objective. All enrollees in Renal-HEIR have consented to be contacted for future research opportunities.
A randomized, multi-center study evaluating MET409 (50 mg) alone or in combination with empagliflozin (10 mg) for 12 weeks. Assignment to MET409 will be double-blind and placebo-controlled. Empagliflozin will be incorporated into two of the treatment arms in an open-label manner.
Pulmonary Safety in Diabetics with T/I
This study will compare the side effects of two laser treatments for diabetic macular edema, a common condition in patients with diabetes. In macular edema, blood vessels in the retina-a thin layer of tissue that lines the back of the eye-become leaky and the retina swells. The macula-the center part of the retina that is responsible for fine vision-may also swell and cause vision loss. Traditional laser treatment (argon blue or green, or yellow) for macular swelling, or edema, causes scarring that can expand and possibly lead to more loss of vision. A different type of laser (diode) may have less damaging effects to the eye and fewer long-term adverse effects, but this is not known. The results of this study on side effects of the treatments will be used to design a larger study of effectiveness. The study will also examine whether vitamin E can reduce the damage caused by laser treatment. Patients with elevated cholesterol levels will be invited to participate in a cholesterol reduction part of the study to compare normal-pace cholesterol reduction with accelerated reduction. Patients 18 years of age and older with type 1 or type 2 diabetes and macular edema may be eligible for this study. Candidates will be screened with the following tests and procedures: * Medical history and physical examination. * Eye examination to assess visual acuity (eye chart test) and eye pressure, and to examine pupils, lens, retina and eye movements. The pupils will be dilated with drops for this examination. * Blood tests to measure cholesterol and vitamin E blood levels, blood clotting time, hemoglobin A1C (a measure of diabetes control), and to evaluate liver and kidney function. * Eye photography to help evaluate the status of the retina and changes that may occur in the future. Special photographs of the inside of the eye are taken using a camera that flashes a bright light into the eye. * Fluorescein angiography to evaluate the eye's blood vessels. A yellow dye is injected into an arm vein and travels to the blood vessels in the eyes. Pictures of the retina are taken using a camera that flashes a blue light into the eye. The pictures show if any dye has leaked from the vessels into the retina, indicating possible blood vessel abnormality. * Multifocal electroretinogram to measure electrical responses generated within the retina. The test, which takes about 1-1/2 hours, is painless. Participants will be randomly assigned to take 1600 IU of vitamin E or placebo (an inactive, look-alike pill) daily. After taking the pills for 3 months or more, patients who require laser treatment will be randomly assigned to one of the two laser therapies. (Patients with macular edema in both eyes will receive both treatments, one in each eye.) For these procedures, eye drops are put in the eye to numb the surface and a contact lens is placed on the eye during the laser beam application. Several visits may be required for additional laser treatments. The maximum number of treatments depends on how well they are working. Patients will return for follow-up visits 1, 3, and 6 months after the first treatment, and then every 6 months until either the patient returns for a 3-year visit; the last enrolled patient returns for the 1-year visit; or the patient requests to leave the study. During the follow-up visits, patients' response to treatment will be evaluated with repeat tests of several of the screening exams.
This study is designed to evaluate if Vasculera, a marketed medical food product, will improve the rate and extent of healing of diabetic ulcers.
This is a study to assess the effectiveness of a culturally appropriate behavioral intervention to reduce obesity levels and ultimately the risk of developing diabetes type II in immigrant Latino farm workers. Workers enrolled in a 2:1 ratio by random allocation into an intervention or control arm of the study. The intervention participants received weekly classes for 10 weeks with education on diabetes, diet and physical activity and practical exercises. Both control and intervention were measured for weight, waist circumference, fasting blood glucose and interviewed before and after the study intervention. The main hypothesis was that intervention, but not control participants, would experience reduction in body measurements after the intervention.
The purpose of this study is to test an intervention in primary care clinics to improve three risk factors for diabetes complications: glucose control, blood pressure and cholesterol. Subjects in the study will be clinic staff and clinicians, not patients. The intervention is Practice Facilitation. Practice facilitation occurs when a trained facilitator meets with a team of staff and clinicians in each practice over a period of several months. Facilitation meetings create time for learning and reflection by members of the team and improves their communication so that they can adopt and implement a strategy to improve patient care
The study is being performed to determine whether sitagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, both acutely and chronically improves blood vessel function. Patients with type 2 diabetes who are on metformin will be enrolled in this study for up to 22 weeks in this double blinded cross over study where they will receive a sitagliptin pill once a day for 8 weeks and during a separate 8 weeks receive a matching placebo pill. The treatment periods are divided by a 4 week period. Blood vessel function will be measured by ultrasound before and after a single dose of sitagliptin and placebo, as well as after 8 weeks of treatment with each. Blood will also be taken to measure blood markers of inflammation at each time the ultrasounds are performed.
This study will examine whether epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a major component of green tea, affects how the body responds to insulin in healthy and obese people. Insulin is not as effective in people who are overweight, have high blood pressure or diabetes. This condition is known as insulin resistance. Laboratory studies suggest that green tea or EGCG treatment lowers blood pressure, lowers blood sugar and increases blood flow. This study will see if EGCG improves insulin resistance or insulin's effects on blood flow in people with insulin resistance. Healthy normal weight or overweight people between 21 and 65 years of age may be eligible for this study. Participants are randomly assigned to take EGCG or a placebo ( inactive dummy pill ) in two 4-week treatment phases with a 2-week period of no study medication before each treatment phase. After the first 4-week treatment, patients on placebo are switched to EGCG and those on EGCG are switched to placebo. In addition to treatment, participants undergo the following procedures during the study period: * Screening, including medical history, physical examination and blood and urine tests, and finger-stick blood sugar measurement for patients with diabetes * Complete a dietary and physical activity questionnaire and consult with a dietitian * Blood and urine tests * At-home and clinic blood pressure monitoring * Glucose clamp test to measure how the body responds to insulin. This test is done three times during the study. A needle is placed in a vein in each of the subject's arms, one for sampling blood and the other for infusing insulin, glucose and potassium. Glucose and insulin levels, electrolytes, lipids, fatty acids, cytokines and epicatechin are measured. * Forearm blood flow measurement with microbubbles and ultrasound. Before beginning the glucose clamp test, a test of how well the blood vessels relax is done. A device that measures the size of the artery in the upper arm is placed above the elbow. Blood flow in the muscle of the forearm is measured by ultrasound using a small infusion through a vein of microbubble contrast agent consisting of gas-filled bubbles the size of red blood cells. The contrast agent is infused over a 7- to 9-minute period at the beginning of the glucose clamp test and again 2 hours after the beginning of the test.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of JNJ-28431754 compared with placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Purpose: A 28-day US study in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus to assess the safety and tolerability as well as the effects of treatment with an investigational drug.
Veterans with type 2 diabetes (T2D) may become overwhelmed with the self-management behaviors needed to maintain optimal health. Veterans may experience diabetes distress (DD), a concept distinct from depression, due the amount and frequency of these behaviors. Diabetes distress negatively influences the Veteran's engagement in self-management and subsequent glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels. Previous interventions aimed at improving T2D self-management and reducing DD do not tailor T2D self-management information to a Veteran's DD, which may be one reason interventions are ineffective at reducing DD. The purpose of this study is to further understand DD by expanding on what the investigators have learned thus far in cognitive and semi-structured interviews with Veterans (see ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT04587336). In Aim 3a, the photo elicitation study, the Veteran would be provided with a camera and instructed to take approximately 20 photos over two weeks. The investigators would conduct two semi-structured interviews with the Veteran to discuss this experience. Visual-based qualitative methods will help us identify and more robustly describe DD in Veterans. In Aim 3b, the investigators will conduct a feasibility and acceptability trial of a novel telemedicine intervention. The TARDIS intervention (Aim 3b) will build off data collected in Aim 3a and provide tailored coaching to Veterans with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The TARDIS intervention includes coaching, self-management information and support, and referrals to VHA supportive services delivered via the telephone. TARDIS will augment current VHA care for patients with diabetes. All Veterans will continue to receive care from their primary clinicians during the study.
