The goal of this observational study is to evaluate muscle fiber type composition in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with a common complication of T2DM: diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DNP), specifically diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy. Researchers will also look into factors related to DNP: inflammation, the use of energy in …

The investigators would like to see if the combination of TENS and controlled heat in a boot increases blood flow to the foot more than baseline or heat alone in people with and without diabetes. This may help people with diabetes and a diabetic wound that will not heal.
TACT3a is a double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial to test a novel therapy, edetate disodium-based chelation of environmentally acquired toxic metals, to reduce cardiovascular events including amputation in high-risk diabetic patients.
The aim of this study is to quantitatively evaluate ultrasonographic measurements of the lower extremity nerves in patients diagnosed with diabetic polyneuropathy and to investigate the relationship with gait, static and dynamic balance performance. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of ultrasonographic findings of lower extremity nerves …
In this study, individuals living with diabetes in the Birmingham area will participate in a free, 3-month DSMES program hosted by MedsPLUS Consulting, a local independent pharmacy and wellness center, at a local faith-based organization. DSMES sessions meet twice a month and typically address topics including physical activity, nutrition, coping, …
