The autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays a crucial role in cardiovascular regulation by modulating heart rate in response to endogenous and environmental stimuli. Heart rate variability (HRV) analysis has been widely used as a non-invasive tool to assess autonomic function and the balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic activity. Although the physiological interpretation of some HRV parameters remains debated-particularly the low-frequency (LF) spectral component as an index of sympathetic activation-HRV remains an important method for evaluating autonomic cardiovascular control. Reduced HRV has been associated with adverse outcomes in several pathological conditions and physiologically declines with aging, mainly due to progressive neuronal loss at central and spinal levels. Among conditions characterized by autonomic dysfunction, cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) represents a common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM) and metabolic syndrome. CAN, defined as impairment of autonomic control of the cardiovascular system, develops early in the disease course and is associated with increased mortality and a higher risk of cardiovascular and renal complications. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), initially developed as glucose-lowering agents, have demonstrated significant cardiovascular and renal protective effects beyond glycemic control. Growing evidence suggests that these drugs exert sympathoinhibitory effects that may be beneficial not only in diabetic patients but also in conditions characterized by sympathetic overactivity. Preclinical and clinical studies have shown that SGLT2i influence autonomic regulation, including sympathetic control of renal function, with reported improvements in 24-hour blood pressure regulation and HRV parameters. Large randomized trials have further confirmed the cardioprotective effects of SGLT2i therapy. Studies such as EMBODY, EMPEROR-Reduced, and EMPEROR-Preserved have demonstrated improvements in HRV indices and significant reductions in cardiovascular death and hospitalization for heart failure, irrespective of diabetic status. Despite these findings, the mechanisms underlying these benefits remain incompletely understood. While reduced sympathetic activity has been proposed as a key mechanism, emerging evidence suggests that SGLT2i may also enhance vagal modulation. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate, in a larger population, the effects of SGLT2i therapy on sympathovagal balance using both spectral HRV parameters and additional indices, including the parasympathetic nervous system index (PNSi), sympathetic nervous system index (SNSi), and the Baevsky Stress Index.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Empagliflozin or Glimepiride Combination Therapy in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients
NCT05050500
Dapagliflozin is one of the SGLT-2 inhibiters. Recent clinical trials have demonstrated that SGLT-2 inhibitors are effective for treating heart failure. The DAPA-HF clinical trial has demonstrated that the effects of empagliflozin and dapagliflozin improve renal outcomes and reduce all-cause and cardiovascular death in patients with HFrEF\[1\]. However, its effect on myocardial infarction, the most common disease leading to death in the population, has not been evaluated sufficiently. A meta-analysis has demonstrated that compared with the control, SGLT2 inhibitor is associated with a reduction in the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), myocardial infarction, cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality\[2\]. It seems that dapagliflozin might be effective for patients with acute myocardial infarction based on these studies. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the effect of dapagliflozin on short-term prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction compared to placebo. 1.

NCT07270328
This pilot feasibility and exploratory study, conducted to prepare for a definitive Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT), compares a structured foot-ankle exercise program with a walking exercise program in adults with Diabetes Mellitus (DM). The primary aim is to assess feasibility, including recruitment rate, retention, adherence, data completeness, acceptability, and adverse events, to inform procedures for the definitive RCT. The secondary (exploratory) aim is to obtain preliminary estimates of effects on Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN), stress, and obstacles to Diabetes-Related Quality of Life (DR-QoL), Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG), Body Mass Index (BMI), blood pressure, and Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI). Participants were allocated to three parallel arms for 12 weeks: 1. Foot-ankle exercise (education plus printed materials; independent practice 2-3 sessions/day), 2. Walking exercise (education plus printed materials; ≥150 minutes/week, ≥10 minutes/session, avoiding two consecutive non-exercise days), or 3. Active control (education and printed materials). Outcomes were assessed at baseline (day 0), week 6, and week 12. Analyses focus on feasibility metrics against pre-specified progression criteria and on hypothesis-generating estimates of within- and between-group change in neuropathy, stress, and obstacles to DR-QoL; the study is not powered for definitive efficacy. Retrospective registration note: This study was registered retrospectively after participant enrolment had begun and data collection had been completed. This retrospective status is disclosed for transparency; exploratory outcome analyses are interpreted accordingly, and adverse events related to exercise were monitored and reported.

The goal of this observational study is to validate medico-administrative algorithms that classify diabetes phenotypes (Type 1, Type 2, and Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults - LADA) in a population-based cohort in Quebec, including children, adolescents, and young adults up to 40 years old with diagnosed diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can these algorithms accurately distinguish between Type 1, Type 2, and LADA across different age groups? What is the prevalence and incidence of each diabetes phenotype in Quebec? Participants will have their medical and administrative data analyzed, including data on medication usage and healthcare visits, to validate the accuracy of the algorithms. The study will involve comparing these algorithm-based classifications with clinical diagnoses or self-reported data to ensure reliability.
NCT05999773
The goal of this observational study is to test the efficacy of glyphozines (SGLT-2 inhibitors) in the control of ascites in patients with liver cirrhosis in class A6-B9, according to the Child-Pugh classification, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The investigators will compare patients belonging to the intervention group (A), who will be given SGLT-2 inhibitors according to diabetology indications in addition to standard medical therapy for 6, with patients of the control group (B), who will, instead, continue with the standard medical therapy for 6 months. Standard medical therapy will include dietary sodium restriction, treatment with diuretics (furosemide and spironolactone), hypoglycemic therapy (metformin, insulin, or both) and other supportive care. The main questions aims of this study are: 1. Compare the efficacy and safety of a therapeutic approach based on the administration of SGLT-2 inhibitors in addition to optimal medical therapy (MRA and loop diuretic) compared to traditional diuretic therapy only, in cirrhotic patients with saline retention and diabetes. 2. Demonstrate better control of the glycemic profile in cirrhotic diabetic patients using SGLT-2 inhibitors.

Diabetes mellitus is an endocrine disorder with heterogeneous etiologies, which is characterized by raised levels of glucose in a person's blood and disturbances of macromolecules such as carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. A lack of insulin, or the inability of cells to respond to it, leads to high levels of blood glucose (hyperglycemia), which is the clinical indicator of diabetes. Type 1 DM is characterized by insulin deficiency and a tendency to develop diabetic ketoacidosis, whereas type 2 DM is characterized by variable degrees of insulin resistance, impaired insulin secretion, and excessive hepatic glucose produc Tion. Diabetes is one of the most rapidly increasing chronic diseases and an important public health problem all over the world. The global burden of diabetes is rising dramatically worldwide. Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes, accounting for around 90% of all diabetes worldwide (IDF). The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is high and rising across all regions. This rise is driven by increasing life expectancy, economic development, and increasing urbanization leading to more sedentary lifestyles and greater consumption of unhealthy foods linked with obesity. Type 2 diabetes prevalence has increased in Egypt during the past few years. Egypt is one of the top ten nations with the greatest proportion of adults with diabetes, according to the International Diabetes Federation. In Egypt, the prevalence of diabetes was projected to be 9.6 million, with type 2 diabetes making up the bulk of cases .

NCT05894811
The study will be conducted in the following population: obese patients with normal glucose tolerance (HbA1c ≤ 5.6%, n=12), pre-sugar patients (5.7% ≤ HbA1c ≤ 6.4%, n=18) and patients with T2DM (HbA1c ≥ 6.4% , n=18). After recruiting, they were followed up at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively, and their preoperative and follow-up examination values related to demographics, body composition, blood biochemistry, and glucose metabolic balance, as well as quantitative MRI imaging and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) will be collected. An interim analysis will be performed at 6 months postoperatively and overall analysis will be performed at 12 months postoperatively by descriptive statistics and ANOVA methods to explore the effect of adiposity on the progression of diabetes mellitus and insulin secretory function.
NCT05857319
The investigators hypothesize that weight loss obtained with the French RNPC weight reduction program is beneficial for the general health of overweight/obese patients in the medium term. The objective of this cohort study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the RNPC program on the reduction of drug or instrumental treatments (for example, continuous positive pressure ventilation for the treatment of sleep apnea syndrome) and the improvement of overweight/obesity-associated comorbidities in the medium term. This is a multicenter clinical study, as part of routine care, with standardized nutritional care (RNPC Program) in all RNPC centers in France. A cohort will be formed based on the clinical and biological data usually collected in the centers, enriched by data from additional clinical and biological examinations as well as by self-questionnaires completed by the participants. About 10,000 overweight or obese participants will be included for 2 years and followed 5 years. The SCOOP-RNPC study will have benefits for individual participants, for the scientific community in terms of knowledge acquired and for society with a better definition of the impact of treatments. Responding to the major public health issue represented by overweight, this prospective cohort of overweight or obese patients will make it possible to evaluate, in real-life conditions, the effects of weight loss obtained by the RNPC Program in the short, medium and long term on biological parameters predictive of cardiometabolic risk, drug consumption, quality of life, diet and eating behavior, sleep, physical activity, stress/anxiety, as well as depression. This cohort will make it possible to identify clinical phenotypes and biomarkers to optimize the personalization of the management of overweight or obese patients, in particular those at risk of developing comorbidities associated with excess weight.

NCT05602441
Insufficient self-management is a significant barrier for people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) to achieve glycemic control and reduce the risk of acute and long-term diabetes complications which negatively affect the quality of life and increase the risk of diabetes-related death. This pre-post study aimed to evaluate the impact of a peer-based club intervention to improve self-management among people living with T2D in two rural communities in Vietnam.
NCT05322551
Obesity is a major risk factor for Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension and dyslipidemia. Recently, weight loss surgery (i.e., metabolic or bariatric surgery) has been shown to result in very good long-term glycemic control in patients with T2D and obesity. However, knowledge and data on molecular levels and metabolomics are still limited. This study will fill in these gaps and provide potential biomarkers for T2D. Lifestyle and dietary practices (LDP) influence the clinical outcome and metabolites in T2D. Although the roles of LDP is critical in ensuring optimal clinical outcomes, data is still limited especially on relating the LDP and metabolomics in T2D.
