Dear Patients, The investigators invite participants to take part in an observational study on gastric emptying rate in individuals with simple obesity. This study has been reviewed and approved by the Ethics Committee of Renji Hospital, affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. It will be conducted at Renji Hospital and is expected to enroll approximately 100 voluntary participants. Obesity has become a major global public health challenge. In 2020, an estimated 2.2 billion adults-42% of the global adult population-were affected by overweight and obesity. This number is projected to increase to 3.3 billion by 2035, representing 54% of adults worldwide. Obesity significantly compromises health and is associated with a range of metabolic disorders, including insulin resistance, atherogenic dyslipidemia (characterized by elevated triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol), nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), beta-cell dysfunction, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes, all of which may lead to serious complications, disability, and premature death. Gastric emptying refers to the process by which food moves from the stomach into the duodenum. This process is essential for nutrient absorption and is regulated by gastric motility, as well as by neural and hormonal feedback mechanisms mediated by the interaction of nutrients with the small intestine. The rate of gastric emptying determines the pace at which nutrients reach the intestine and influences the enteral nutrient load. It also plays a bidirectional role in regulating blood glucose levels. Therefore, abnormal gastrointestinal motility may represent an important pathophysiological mechanism underlying insulin resistance and impaired glucose tolerance in obese individuals. To date, most studies on gastric emptying have focused on individuals with diabetes. However, as obesity itself is a major risk factor for metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, further investigation into the distribution patterns of gastric emptying rates in individuals with simple obesity-and its associations with glucose and lipid metabolism, insulin resistance-could provide valuable insights. These insights may support improved diagnosis, risk stratification, and management of obesity-related metabolic disorders, as well as inform the evaluation of weight-loss interventions. The aim of this study is to assess gastric emptying velocity in patients with simple obesity and to explore its relationship with glucose and lipid metabolic indicators. This information sheet is intended to help participants decide whether they are willing to allow the use of their historical medical data for research and analysis. Participation in this study is entirely voluntary, and participants' decision will not affect their access to medical care or any of their rights as patients at Renji Hospital. Please be assured that, should participants choose to participate, the investigators will make every effort to protect their safety, privacy, and legal rights throughout the study, in full compliance with applicable ethical and legal standards. The investigators kindly ask participants to read this notice carefully. If participants have any questions or concerns, they are encouraged to speak with the investigator responsible for explaining the informed consent form.

NCT03481283
Three pieces of information lead to the basis for this study: 1. Individuals with Type-2 diabetes commonly develop peripheral neuropathy. 2. Increased production of the hormone amylin occurs in individuals who have Type-2 diabetes. 3. Aggregations of amylin was found in the peripheral vasculature of rats that overexpressed human amylin. The purpose of this study is to determine whether a correlation exists between the amount of amylin present in the upper extremities of human subjects with Type-2 diabetes and the extent to which symptoms of peripheral neuropathy are expressed in those subjects. The investigators will be testing this by initially collecting blood and skin biopsy samples from subjects, followed by measuring patient sensation and pain responses to heat, cold, and pressure in the upper extremities.
NCT07330700
This study aims to evaluate the effects of a combined marching exercise with cognitive training program on physical performance, cognitive function, and autonomic cardiovascular responses in older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving marching exercise with cognitive tasks or a control group receiving usual care. Outcomes will be assessed before and after the intervention period. The findings are expected to provide evidence for a feasible and safe exercise strategy to improve physical and cardiovascular health in older adults with type 2 diabetes.
NCT05277558
Investigators propose to study youth across the spectrum of body mass index (BMI) and dysglycemia. This approach will allow investigators to disentangle the relationship of key features of type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk (e.g. obesity) with intermediary physiologic changes (e.g. insulin resistance, inflammation, β-cell dysfunction and dysglycemia) that pose a risk for the brain. Investigators will determine which of these factors are most associated with differences in brain structure and function among groups, over time, and how these effects differ from normal neurodevelopment.
NCT05057403

NCT03050645
Women with previous Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) are characterized by several metabolic abnormalities i.e. insulin resistance, beta-cell dysfunction and increased risk of later Diabetes Mellitus (DM). These latent disorders of glucose metabolism are demasked by the metabolic stress of pregnancy and as a routine, clinical assessment and measurement of HbA1c in addition to an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is offered 3 months post partum. In this study, women with previous GDM and a control group matched on age, time of birth and BMI around 8 years after pregnancy will be investigated. Information from pregnancy and post partum examination (GDM only) will be used to identify risk factors for later development of DM. Further, life-style factors and mental health according to diabetes status will be studied.

Black and White mothers have similar prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However Black mothers are more likely to develop Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) after a diagnosis of GDM. Both GDM and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) increase her cardiovascular risk. The post-partum period is an ideal time to employ preventative strategies to alter her lifetime health-course. Unfortunately, Black mothers are less likely to follow up post-partum and less likely to be informed of the connection between pregnancy complications such as GDM and cardiovascular risks. The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) is the "gold standard" for lifestyle intervention to prevent T2DM in at risk patients. From the original trial of over 1,000 racially heterogenous participants, the DPP underperformed in Black women and can be improved upon. The investigators propose a randomized controlled trial entitled: Mobilizing doulas to empower black women in post-partum diabetes prevention. This program will follow the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) curriculum as outlined by the CDC using an online platform. However, this program will expand on the DPP's educational program and provide trained community-based health care workers i.e., "doulas divas" to administer post-partum support while the participants matriculate through the online DPP. Participants will be randomized to either DPP only for one year or DPP + doula divas for one year). The investigators hypothesize that for Black participants with GDM, DPP+ doula divas program will have a completion rate superior to that of the DPP alone. The investigators propose this randomized controlled clinical trial utilizing institution and community partnerships to increase the rates of completion of post-partum diabetes prevention program in at risk women: Black women with GDM. The investigators also will implement this culturally responsive approach with the goal of reducing T2DM in Black women. Our discoveries will be a forward leap in the quest to reduce cardiovascular risk contributed by GDM and T2DM that lead to maternal morbidity and mortality.

Type 2 diabetes patients have a high risk of developing NAFLD. This was confirmed during previous research, a high prevalence of NAFLD among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients was found. The investigators want to determine the characteristics of this population.
NCT03184662
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition whose prevalence is increasing globally. Kidney disease is a key complication of diabetes and is among the most common cause of end-stage renal disease, requiring renal replacement therapy. It has been shown that the trajectory of renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate - eGFR) is of great prognostic value for renal and cardiovascular endpoints in diabetic patients. However the clinical use of this prognostic marker is not associated to date with a clear therapeutic intervention, effective in patients with type 2 diabetes identified with this biomarker. In France, type 2 diabetes patients have twice less physical activity than non-diabetic persons. Recently, it has been published that physical activity was associated with an improvement of renal risk in patients with type 2 diabetes, recruited from the LOOK-AHEAD study. It was demonstrated that high-intensity physical activity (HIPA) can have several additional advantages over moderate-intensity, on blood pressure improvement, and cardiovascular risk profile modification. In addition, this procedure was shown to be safe in patients with high cardiovascular risk. We plan to perform a randomized intervention comparing a structured program of high-intensity physical activity (HIPA) vs standard recommendations for physical activity on renal function decline (primary outcome) and mortality, renal and cardiovascular endpoints, patients' safety and quality of life (secondary outcomes). Study participants will be patients with established type 2 diabetes and a high renal risk, identified by rapid renal function decline, defined as a eGFR slope below -5ml/min per 1.73 m2/yr. The intervention is planned to last for 2 years.

This study will integrate a technology-based patient-reported outcome (PRO) system \[herein MJS DIABETES\] that incorporates patients' perspective of their disease and functional status into the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in primary care practices. MJS DIABETES is an innovative mobile platform that utilizes text-messaging to capture patients' self-reported PROs in real-time; enhance patient engagement through data-driven feedback and motivational messages; and create dynamic visualizations of the PROs that can be shared in printed reports, and integrated into the EHR; thus making it actionable for patients and their PCPs. Using a mixed-methods design, this study will be conducted in 2 phases: 1) a formative phase, using the evidence-based user-centered design approach; and 2) a clinical-efficacy phase. For the formative phase, a qualitative research method will be used to: a) adapt MJS to the needs of PCPs and T2D patients; b) integrate MJS DIABETES into the EHR system, the primary care practice and the lives of patients with T2D; and c) evaluate the usability of MJS DIABETES in a subset of T2D patients and their PCPs in order to optimize the tool's performance and workflow integration. For the clinical efficacy phase, a randomized control trial will be used to identify the efficacy of MJS DIABETES versus Usual Care (UC) on reduction HbA1c at 12-months, among 282 patients with T2D who receive care in safety-net practices.
