Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a global public health concern. In the United States, adult Hispanic males are particularly vulnerable to type 2 diabetes mellitus and are more likely to develop complications and subsequently die from it, compared to non-Hispanic White males. Evidence suggests good self-management behaviors can potentially prevent disease-related complications and improve clinical outcomes. The American Diabetes Association and Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialists have endorsed diabetes self-management education as a necessary component of care for all individuals living with the disease. However, adult Hispanic males with type 2 diabetes mellitus living in the Middle Atlantic Region of the U.S., especially those who are underserved, typically lack access to formal diabetes self-management education (DSME). Further, the majority have never participated in such educational activities. A large body of evidence suggests DSME can effectively improve self-management behaviors in diverse populations around the globe. The purpose of the proposed study is to examine the effect of culturally tailored diabetes education on self-management behaviors of adult Hispanic males, aged 18-64 years, with type 2 diabetes mellitus living in the Middle Atlantic Region of the U.S. This study can shed more light on the effectiveness of community-based, culturally tailored diabetes educational activities in this vulnerable population and guide future efforts towards enhancing self-management.

This clinical trial is a randomized, open-label, single oral dose, two-sequence, and two-period crossover study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety between the single administration of HL1113 and the concomitant administration of HL1113R1 and HL1113R2 for healthy subjects in fasting state
NCT07590466
The goal of this Phase 1 clinical trial is to compare the pharmacokinetics and safety of a fixed-dose combination tablet (ATB-U101) versus co-administration of its individual components in healthy Caucasian adult volunteers. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the Cmax of Olmesartan and Dapagliflozin bioequivalent across the three treatment regimens? * Is the AUClast of Olmesartan and Dapagliflozin bioequivalent across the three treatment regimens? Researchers will compare ATB-U101 (fixed-dose combination, 40 mg/10 mg) against two reference co-administrations - ATB-1011+ATB-1012 (Korean-approved Olmetec + Forxiga) and ATB-U1011+ATB-U1012 (US-approved Benicar + Farxiga) - to see if the 90% confidence intervals of the geometric mean ratios for the primary PK parameters fall within the bioequivalence range of 80.00-125.00%. Participants will: * Be admitted to the clinical trial center three times (Days 1, 8, and 15), each separated by a 7-day washout period * Receive a single oral dose of one assigned treatment per period under fasting conditions (minimum 10 hours) with 240 mL of water, in a randomized crossover sequence * Have blood samples collected at up to 18 timepoints per period (up to 48 hours post-dose) for PK analysis * Undergo safety assessments including vital signs, ECG, physical examination, and laboratory tests throughout the study, with a final follow-up visit around Day 21-24
NCT07556497
This study aims to isolate endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) from participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular complications and to comprehensively characterize EPC dysfunction. Specifically, the study will evaluate maladaptive angiocrine signaling, calcium signaling pathways, and the role of inflammation in EPC function and the progression of atherosclerosis during T2D development. A sub-study will assess EPC functionality by examining endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression and activity, as well as the effectiveness of in vitro eNOS gene enhancement.

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.
NCT07467967
Summary Dates, rich in simple sugars, fiber, and antioxidant polyphenols, have a variable glycemic index and conflicting reported effects on type 2 diabetes. Moderate consumption might raise glycemia if added to the usual diet, but could improve insulin sensitivity and oxidative balance if used as an isocaloric substitute. This prospective, interventional, single-center study (Endocrinology Department., La Rabta Hospital, Tunis) aims to evaluate the effect of daily consumption of 3 Deglet Nour dates for 8 weeks on glycemic control and oxidative stress in 130 well-controlled type 2 diabetic patients. Primary objectives: Assess changes in HbA1c, fasting glucose, and HOMA-IR. Measure variations in oxidative stress markers (MDA, SOD, TAC, pentosidine). Secondary objectives: Monitor changes in weight, BMI, waist circumference, and blood pressure. Assess tolerance, adherence, satisfaction, and adverse events. Study design: Baseline and final visits (week 0 and week 8) with clinical, dietary, and laboratory assessments. Isocaloric substitution: 3 dates replace a carbohydrate portion (e.g., fruit or dessert). No change in antidiabetic therapy or lifestyle allowed. Endpoints: Primary: ΔHbA1c, Δfasting glucose, ΔHOMA-IR, and oxidative markers. Secondary: Anthropometrics, blood pressure, safety, adherence, lipid and metabolic parameters. Expected outcome: determine whether moderate, isocaloric date consumption is safe and potentially beneficial for metabolic control and oxidative balance in Tunisian patients with type 2 diabetes.

In recent decades, advances in medicine have significantly improved both quality of life and life expectancy. However, these positive effects are also associated with a considerable increase in the prevalence of age-related diseases. Among these, Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and type 2 diabetes (T2D) currently represent a major threat to human health. PD and AD are the most common neurodegenerative diseases in industrialized populations. In particular, AD accounts for 54% of all cases of dementia, with a prevalence of 4.4% among individuals over 65 years of age. PD has a prevalence of about 1% in people older than 60 years, reaching up to 4% in those over 80 years of age. AD and PD are highly disabling disorders with a slow but progressive course, caused by the degeneration and/or death of nerve cells. This results in impairments in the control of movement and balance, as in the case of PD, or in cognitive functioning, as in AD. To date, neither effective treatments nor early diagnostic tools are available to address these conditions in the initial phase of neurodegeneration. Likewise, there are no tools capable of monitoring disease progression and improving patients' adaptation to therapy. Moreover, although the association between T2D and the risk of PD and/or AD has long been recognized, these conditions were historically considered unrelated. Recent evidence from clinical and epidemiological studies suggests the existence of shared pathophysiological mechanisms associated with insulin resistance and persistent inflammation in several metabolically relevant tissues, such as adipose tissue and the brain. However, the mechanisms that increase the risk of PD and/or AD in individuals with T2D remain poorly understood. These data highlight how relevant these diseases are for the National Health System and demonstrate that they represent one of the most important priorities to be addressed, requiring substantial investments in both scientific research and early diagnostic strategies. Therefore, the present project proposal, which aims to develop new minimally invasive tools for the early prediction and monitoring of neurodegenerative diseases such as AD and PD, will help fill an important gap in the clinical and therapeutic management of these patients.

This randomized controlled trial (RCT) will determine if access to a voucher for healthy foods reduces blood sugar levels among people living on a low income who have type 2 diabetes or elevated blood sugar.
NCT07164495
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the clinically convenient dynamic and static measurement parameters to identify related risk factors of developing high peak plantar pressure during walking in the type-2 diabetic patients, and then establish a predictive model to estimate the likelihood of excessive plantar pressure. The main question it aims to answer is: Which clinical measurements may be used as the predictors that increased peak plantar pressure in the type-2 diabetic patients? Participants taking the examinations will understand their own clinally meaningful measurements related to their plantar pressure during walking. Further thorough analysis will be employed to develop a predictive model, aiming to provide potential improvement strategies for preventing diabetic foot ulcers in the future.

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.
NCT07250607
The goal of this observational study is to learn more about the diverse susceptibility to micro and macrovascular complications in individuals living with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). The main questions of the study are: * Is the chronic exposure to hyperglycemia the only determinant of diverse susceptibility to diabetes related complications (DRC) across the T2D population? * Is it possible to develop a reliable tool to identify patients at different susceptibility to DRC? * Is it possible to predict DRC susceptibility through biomarkers in the field of inflammation, hormonal signaling or non-coding circulating nucleotides. People living with T2D and well screened for complications according to the international recommendations (American Diabetes Association/European Society for the study of Diabetes) will be included in the survey collecting information about chronic exposure to hyperglycemia (diabetes duration + glycemic control) and incidence and severity of each macro and microvascular complication. Based on the survey result, a clinical score will be proposed to distinguish patient at different susceptibility to complications. Then, patients with extreme phenotypes of susceptibility (i.e. those with highest susceptibility for their short exposure to hyperglycemia vs those with lowest susceptibility to complication for their long exposure to hyperglycemia) will be recruited to perform a blood drawn and investigate whether preidentified potential biomarkers could describe the diverse susceptibility to DRC by showing a significant gradient between groups.

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are among the late complications of DFU, defined as skin lesions that involve the dermis to deeper structures, such as muscles and bones. Although preclinical studies have demonstrated the effects of GaAs 830 nm in diabetic wounds, no clinical studies have been performed, revealing the need for more in-depth analyses to identify the effects and ideal parameterization of PBM with GaAs 830 nm wavelength in the treatment of diabetic ulcers, improving quality of life, as well as to understand the therapeutic feasibility, time required for healing and recurrence rates of these lesions. Experimental, randomized, controlled, double-blind study, with blinding applied to the evaluator and participants. A total of 136 volunteers will be recruited for the research, carried out at the Integrated Center of Medical Specialties (CIEM) - Polyclinic. LLLT GaAs 830nm will be used with three dosages of low, medium and high intensity (4 J/cm², 8 J/cm², 12 J/cm²). The study will have three intervention groups using LLLT with GaAs 830nm and a control group, in which LLLLT will be performed with a GaAs 904nm wavelength and a dose of 10 J/cm², according to Saura et al (2024). This study was approved by the local Research Ethics Committee (Opinion 7,488,044), conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and in accordance with the CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) guidelines.
