The Effect of Bariatric Surgery on Insulin Sensitivity and Energy Metabolism
The purpose of this study is: To explore to what extent insulin sensitivity, energy metabolism and ectopic lipid storage can be improved by bariatric surgery To explore to what extent hepatic and muscular disorders of energy metabolism occur in patients with obesity (degree 2-3) To explore whether the steato liver …
Who Will Benefit From Bariatric Surgery for Diabetes?
A study investigating the influence of fat distribution, genetic susceptibility markers for type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and fat distribution, epigenetic and transcriptomic changes and gut hormone responses to a mixed meal on diabetes remission following bariatric surgery.
A UK Registry for Metabolic and Bariatric Endoscopic Interventions
In the UK alone, obesity is a major health problem with more than one quarter of adults estimated to be obese. Obesity promotes the development of many serious diseases including diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, and increased risk of some cancers. Patients living with obesity also suffer from significant symptoms …
The Effects of Bariatric Surgery on Kidney Oxygenation in Obese Adults With Type 2 Diabetes and Hyperfiltration
In this study the investigators will examine the effects of VAT reduction by bariatric surgery on kidney hypoxia and compare kidney oxygenation before- and after surgery in both sexes using BOLD-MRI and measures of kidney hemodynamic function. Furthermore, the investigators will assess whether kidney oxygenation is reduced in obese T2D …
Fitbit and AI Chatbot in Sedentary Primary Care Patients With T2D
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a 12-week intervention utilizing a Fitbit and artificial intelligence (AI)-delivered diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) with tailored text messages. The main question it aims to answer is: Does providing a wearable fitness and activity tracker …
Association Between CGM Metrics in Type 2 Diabetes Pregnancy and Perinatal Morbidity
The purpose of this observational study is to measure the association between continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) parameters and perinatal morbidity in offspring of women with type 2 diabetes. Specifically, the study will assess whether gestational age interacts with metabolic control in influencing perinatal morbidity, as well as the impact of …
Circulating Biomarkers in the Development of Type 1 Diabetes
More than 100 million U.S. adults are now living with diabetes or prediabetes. Investigators still do not fully understand how diabetes develops and how the disease worsens. Insulin is a hormone that helps the body use sugar as a fuel and control blood-sugar levels. People with diabetes have problems making …
Diabetes Screening in Patients on Long-Term Glucocorticoid Therapy
Glucocorticoids are widely prescribed in the treatment of many inflammatory, autoimmune or allergic diseases, but also in transplant patients or patients with malignant hematological diseases (leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma, etc.). They have many side effects, including effects on carbohydrate metabolism. Corticosteroids are diabetogenic because they disrupt pancreatic insulin secretion and decrease …
Taste Bud-Derived Stem Cells in Humans
Background Stem cells are found in body tissues. They can regenerate into more of the same cells or become other types of cell. Researchers want to use stem cells from taste buds to try to make cells that secrete insulin. Taste buds are found mostly on the tip and sides …
Extending Indication for Islet Autotransplantation in Pancreatic Surgery
Islet autotransplantation (IAT) is a therapeutic approach used to prevent pancreatogenic diabetes or to reduce the severity of diabetes after a major pancreatectomy. Total pancreatectomy with IAT is being used almost exclusively for treatment of chronic pancreatitis. More recently, indications other than chronic pancreatitis have been reported including IAT after …
