This study plans to learn more about heart function among individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In particular, the investigators want to understand the different patterns of right ventricular response during rest and moderate- vs high-intensity exercise. By identifying patterns of right ventricular dysfunction, this study will help identify better treatments for patients with COPD in the future.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to find out whether one type of fish oil works better than another at improving metabolic health in people who are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Some metabolic problems-such as difficulty controlling blood sugar, unhealthy particles that transport cholesterol in the blood, and poor fat tissue function-can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes. This study aims to determine whether different types of fish oil can: 1. Improve how well the body produces insulin and responds to it, 2. Improve the quality of the particles that carry "bad" cholesterol in the blood, and 3) Improve the health and function of participants' fat tissue. To answer these questions, researchers will compare the effects of two types of fish oil: EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). These will be compared with corn oil, which is used as a placebo and does not contain EPA or DHA. When included in this study, participants will: A) Take softgel capsules containing EPA, DHA, or placebo (corn oil) every day for 12 weeks, B) Keep a daily log to record when they take their study softgels, and C) Visit the research unit six times, including one and a half days before and after the intervention, to complete specialized metabolic tests that are mostly only available in research settings.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a widespread health condition characterized by impaired ability of the body to maintain glucose homeostasis. This impairment often leads to secondary complications, including heart disease, high blood pressure, and poor quality of life. While exercise and healthy eating are effective strategies in managing and preventing T2DM, data shows that long-term adherence to these methods are poor - especially among elderly, individuals with obesity and/or with physical limitations. This clinical study explores cold exposure with shivering as a novel strategy to improve blood sugar control and heart health. In earlier research, spending time in mildly cold environments (around 15-17°C) for a few hours a day improved insulin sensitivity of T2DM patients. Interestingly, these benefits only occurred when the cold caused mild shivering. In a recent 10-day cold acclimation study with overt shivering for minimally 1 hour/day, we observed improved glucose tolerance in participants with overweight/obesity, as well as improved fasting lipid profiles. These results indicate that when accompanied with sufficient level of muscle activation, repeated exposure to cold can beneficially affect both glucose and lipid levels - both of which are impaired in people with T2DM. In this study, we hypothesise that a 10-day cold acclimation with shivering will improve the (peripheral) insulin sensitivity of patients with T2DM, accompanied by enhanced skeletal muscle FA uptake and oxidation as assessed via the 11C palmitate uptake.

The study is to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamic profile of HMS1005 in patient with diabetes

Nutrition insecurity (inclusive of food insecurity + poor diet quality) is a fundamental social need that must be addressed to improve treatment and health outcomes for high-risk pregnant women with pregestational type 1 and 2 diabetes, poor glucose control, and food insecurity for whom a healthy diet is critical. The NOURISH trial will provide evidence of a scalable, integrated, and theory-based healthcare-community partnership that includes weekly nutritious produce home delivery, monthly clinic-integrated diabetes, nutrition, and culinary group education, and continuous social needs assessment and support to improve glucose control and pregnancy outcomes. Given the increasing burden and devasting consequences of nutrition insecurity among high-risk pregnant women with diabetes and unmet social needs, NOURISH-an innovative and sustainable healthcare-community partnership-will have significant public health benefit.

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of active video gaming participation in otherwise sedentary patients with obesity and Type 2 diabetes mellitus. The study will assess improvement in weight and Hemoglobin A1c, as well as other complications related to obesity that is monitored in clinic.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if starting four kidney disease medicines quickly and together (a rapid treatment approach) is safe and works well in people with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is it safe to start these medicines over a short period of time? * How often do kidney function changes or high potassium levels occur? * Does this approach lower protein in the urine (a sign of kidney damage)? * How many participants are able to stay on all four medicines over 6 months? Researchers will compare this approach to usual care, where medicines are started one at a time over several months. Participants will: Be assigned by chance to either this approach or usual care Start up to four approved kidney medicines over about 8 weeks (rapid treatment approach) or follow standard care Have regular clinic visits and lab tests to check kidney function and potassium levels Be followed for about 6 months

Blood sugar levels are controlled by insulin, a hormone made by cells in the pancreas. After a meal, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose which is absorbed from the intestine into the blood leading to a rise in glucose (blood sugar) which triggers the secretion of insulin. Insulin binds to cells in several tissues including liver, muscle, and fat, triggering cells to take up glucose and bring the blood glucose level back to normal. A high blood sugar level is known as diabetes. The most common form of diabetes, type 2 diabetes, is caused by insulin resistance; that is, a reduced ability of insulin to stimulate glucose uptake into cells. The body compensates for insulin resistance by making more insulin; type 2 diabetes occurs when the pancreas can no longer make enough insulin to control blood glucose. The high blood glucose and insulin levels lead to long-term complications such as heart attacks, kidney failure, reduced sensation and poor circulation in the feet and legs. High insulin levels also increase the incidence of cancers, stroke, and dementia. Reducing blood glucose levels with oral medications and insulin reduces risk of diabetic complications. There are several types of oral medications available for treating diabetes; however, they do not always control blood glucose adequately. In addition, these drugs have complications and are not used to treat insulin resistance and prediabetes - a condition when blood glucose is higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. Prediabetes often progresses to diabetes over a period of months or years. Effective and safe treatments for insulin resistance may prevent the onset of diabetes or even reverse diabetes if diagnosed in its early stages before substantial damage to the pancreas has occurred. HP-211 is a botanical extract whose active ingredients are derived from herbs and vegetables present in normal diets. HP-211 has been shown in laboratory studies in cell culture, in animal studies, and in a previous Phase 1 study to enhance the ability of insulin to stimulate glucose uptake into cells. Thus, HP-211 may reduce the blood glucose and circulating insulin levels of subjects with type 2 diabetes after a meal. HP-211 may also reduce glucose and insulin responses to a greater extent in insulin-resistant as compared to insulin-sensitive subjects. Subjects will take 0, 1, 2 or 3 tablets of HP-211 in the morning and evening for 90 days. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c, or "A1c"), a measure of the average amount of glucose present in the blood, will be measured during the trial period.

This study is a Phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of HM15275 in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus over 36 weeks.

This is an investigator initiated prospective, randomized controlled trial which aims to compare two groups of patients with either type 2 or steroid-induced diabetes who are discharged with insulin. The intervention group will use the Libre 3 Plus continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system at discharge, while the control group will use blinded CGM and fingerstick monitoring. Both the intervention and control groups will wear the sensor for 28 days post discharge and participate in telehealth diabetes management visits. The target enrollment for the study is 65 participants and participants are expected to be in the study for up to 35 days.
