NCT00225888
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of food photography with group discussions to the effect of regular diabetes nutrition care on people's eating habits, satisfaction with care, self-care behaviors, and blood sugar levels. We hypothesize that, by photographing all meals and snacks (i.e., keeping 'photo journals') and participating in discussions about the photographs with peers and a nutritionist, people with diabetes will become aware of their behaviors and develop concrete strategies to meet nutritional recommendations.
NCT01635062
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether vitamin D receptor agonist therapy lowers renin-angiotensin system activity.
NCT02186353
The primary objective of this pilot study will be to examine the effects of consuming whole grains, differing in the degree of processing, on insulin sensitivity and other cardiometabolic risk factors. The overall aim will be to assess feasibility of the test diets and to generate preliminary data.
NCT02974244
Exenatide once weekly (Bydureon) was approved in January 2012 by FDA in USA for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Evidence from clinical trials suggested that Bydureon improves glucose control with low risk of hypoglycemia. Bydureon does not require a dose titration as necessary for other glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists, and appears to have other advantages, such as reducing insulin resistance, reducing weight, and improving blood pressure and lipid profiles. However, the degree to which these advantages of Bydureon lead to improve outcomes in customary clinical care is unknown. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of Bydureon relative to basal insulin initiated as first-ever injectable therapeutic regimens used in customary clinical care. Patients who initiated treatment with Bydureon or basal insulin between July 2011 and March 2015 will be recruited into the study cohorts from Optum's database of electronic health records. The two treatment cohorts will be matched by propensity score method.Clinical outcomes of HbA1c, weight, and gastrointestinal symptoms and hypoglycemia are investigated.
