The aim of this randomized trial is to determine whether liver fat depletion via a short-term (i.e., two weeks) very-low calorie diet will restore the normal exercise-induced secretion of a signaling protein (fibroblast growth factor 21) from the liver in people living with type 2 diabetes. Participants will have their …
The majority of T2DM adults show thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency which may contribute to impaired function. This study will examine patients with T2DM through brain MRI scans, cognition assessments, blood tests, and questionnaires. Our goal is to see if a thiamine treatment (taking vitamin B1 capsules) can improve function. Patients …

This prospective cohort study investigates glycaemic variability, assessed by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and its association with fetal growth and related maternal and neonatal outcomes. Participants will undergo 14 days of CGM during pregnancy to characterise individual glycaemic patterns. Clinical and paraclinical …
The primary aim of this randomized controlled trial is to examine the effects of a 4-week high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and time-restricted eating (TRE) intervention on cardiometabolic biomarkers in adolescents and young adults.
The primary aim of this prospective, multicentre study is to develop an accurate and convenient tool to predict the risk of PTDM at 3 months post-transplant, based on information on the day of transplantation (day 0). In order to create such model, we will start by identifying individual predictor variables …
