How Glucophage Xr Affects Patients

Insulin helps to keep your blood glucose levels in balance. People with type 2 diabetes have a harder time processing insulin, which can cause their blood sugar levels to be too high. Metformin helps by decreasing the amount of glucose your liver makes, slowing down how much glucose is absorbed by your body, and making it easier for insulin to work. Metformin does not cause too much insulin to be released like some other diabetes treatments do. In a study, people taking metformin for 29 weeks had their fasting plasma glucose (blood sugar levels when not eating) drop by an average of 59 mg/dL, while those taking a

How Glucophage Xr works in the body

Metformin works to lower blood sugar levels by decreasing the amount of sugar produced in the liver, reducing the amount of sugar absorbed from food, and improving the body’s sensitivity to insulin. Specifically, metformin accumulates in cells and the mitochondria, and inhibits a molecule called mitochondrial complex I. This prevents ATP production, leading to an increase in AMP:ATP ratios. This activates an enzyme called AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which helps regulate glucose metabolism. Metformin also inhibits _fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase_ and adenylate cyclase

When to interrupt dosage

The portion of Glucophage Xr is dependent upon the recognized condition, including Diet, insufficient answer to metformin and Diabetic Ketoacidosis. The measure fluctuates according to the strategy of delivery (e.g. Oral or Tablet - Oral) indicated in the table beneath.

Glucophage Xr for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

I have been taking the generic form for months and have suffered diarrhea to the point that I'm leary of going out. It strikes fast and furious. I have been recently switched to Glucophage XR 500mg 2 2 times daily and it has calmed down. Problem, insurance won't pay for it and it's too expensive to buy.

I was hesitant to go on medication, but after a year of trying to control my blood sugar with diet alone and seeing little results, I decided to give it a try. I started taking 2000mg of Metformin XR daily, in two 500mg doses with breakfast and dinner. The results were remarkable – my blood sugar has been consistently between 100 and 125, and I've been able to add back nutritious foods to my diet. There were some mild side effects at first – nausea, bloating, gas, and belching – but they mostly went away after a week. Overall, I wish I had done this sooner

Saskatoon Berries for Type 2 Diabetes

18 - 74
All Sexes
Winnipeg, Canada

Diabetes becomes epidemic in worldwide countries. Diabetes Canada indicated that 30% of adults in Manitoba are diabetes or prediabetes. Nine out of ten diabetic patients are type 2 diabetes (T2D). T2D is characterized by insulin resistance and obesity. Uncontrolled diabetes leads to serious consequences including heart attack, stroke, chronic renal failure, liver failure, blindness and low limb amputation. Most of hypoglycemic medications have certain side effects. Natural foods or nutraceuticals with hypoglycemic potential are expected to provide a safer management for diabetic patients. Saskatoon berry is a popular fruit in Canadian Prairie and Northern states in USA. Our previous studies demonstrated Saskatoon berry (SB) powder attenuated hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance, inflammation, liver steatosis and gut dysbiosis in diet-induced insulin resistant mice, a model for T2D. The findings of the glucose and lipid lowering or liver protective effects of SB powder have been supported by another group in Australia in high fat fed rats. Our preliminary studies in 20 healthy subjects demonstrated that dried whole SB (40 g/day for 10 weeks) significantly reduced fasting plasma glucose, total and LDL-cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, and increased plasma glucagon-like peptide compared to baseline, which was associated with increased intake of total fiber and decreased intake of saturated fat. The changes in metabolic and vascular variables significantly correlated with the alterations in gut microbiota The combination of findings suggest that SB is good candidate of prebiotic functional food as a supplemental remedy for reducing the risk for metabolic syndrome and preventing or managing T2D. The effect of Saskatoon berry and its products on metabolic disorders have not been studied in diabetic subjects. We propose to examine the effects of oral administration of freeze-dried whole SB on glucose metabolism, insulin resistance and gut microbiota in untreated prediabetes and new type 2 diabetic patients compared to a control dried fruit in a randomized controlled trial.

MediBeacon Transdermal GFR System for Heart Failure

18+
All Sexes
New York, NY

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the accuracy and feasibility of transdermal glomerular filtration rate (tGFR) assessment using relmapirazin (Lumitrace) and the MediBeacon tGFR system compared to plasma clearance measurement of GFR in adults with heart failure. The main question it aims to answer is the comparison of the transdermal-derived GFR for each participant using the MediBeacon tGFR to their nGFRBSA measurement. Participants will participate in a Screening visit that will take place within 15 days of the scheduled administration of Lumitrace and iohexol. On dosing day, participants will have the tGFR reusable sensor with disposable adhesive ring placed on their chest, and the MediBeacon Transdermal GFR System initiated to collect background fluorescence. Following an injection of Lumitrace and iohexol and the initiation of GFR assessments, participants will be followed at the study center for 10-24 hours. All participants will participate in a follow-up phone call approximately 7 days after the last exposure to Lumitrace and iohexol. Researchers will analyze the results to compare the tGFR values to the nGFRBSA measurements for each participant.

Chula Vista, CA

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the safety of a new U500 insulin formulation and to determine how rapidly it is absorbed and how long it takes to act when administered intraperitoneally. The trial will be conducted in people with Type 1 Diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is the drug safe and tolerable when administered intraperitoneally? How fast is it absorbed, and how long does it take to act? Researchers will compare the investigational product (PI-U500) with Humulin R U500 administered intraperitoneally and Lyumjev U100 administered subcutaneously. Participants will undergo a 12-hour clamp procedure in which their blood glucose will be maintained stable via glucose infusion at variable rates after a single intraperitoneal injection of the insulin formulation.

This study is an investigator-initiated, cluster-randomized implementation trial evaluating a large language model (LLM)-based clinical decision support (CDS) tool designed to improve guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) for adult patients with heart failure seen in outpatient cardiology clinics at Mass General Brigham. For eligible heart failure encounters, the CDS tool reviews existing electronic health record (EHR) data, including diagnoses, medications, vital signs, laboratory results, and recent notes, and generates brief, clinician-facing messages suggesting opportunities to initiate or optimize GDMT and highlighting relevant safety considerations. Messages are delivered to cardiology providers via Epic InBasket and/or institutional email prior to scheduled visits. The tool is advisory only and cannot place orders or change medications automatically; all treatment decisions remain at the discretion of the treating clinician and patient. Cardiology providers are assigned at the provider/clinic level to early implementation of the CDS tool versus usual care (no messages) during the initial phase. The primary outcome is GDMT optimization within 30 days of an index visit. Secondary outcomes include feasibility of CDS generation and delivery and a 30-day safety composite (e.g., heart failure hospitalization, acute kidney injury, hyperkalemia, hypotension or bradyarrhythmia plausibly related to GDMT).

Sotagliflozin for Type 1 Diabetes

18 - 75
All Sexes
Minneapolis, MN

The goal of this clinical trial is to develop and evaluate a novel diabetes ketoacidosis risk mitigation strategy to support the safe use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) therapy in participants with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and mild to moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD). The main objectives of this study are to: 1. Evaluate how ketone metrics differ between participants with mild to moderate chronic kidney disease and those with normal renal function in three time periods. 2. Identify potentially modifiable ketosis risk factors. 3. Use continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and continuous ketone monitoring (CKM) data prior to and following treatment to determine ketosis risk factors and gain knowledge to further refine reporting of risk factors. 4. Gather information on how participants and clinicians like and use the CGM/CKM reports. Participants will be asked to: * Meet with study investigators to determine if they are eligible * Sign written informed consent * Take a pregnancy test, if applicable * Have blood taken to assess kidney function and hemoglobin A1c * Take the study medication, following the study team instructions * Wear the study provided sensor throughout participation. * Complete 5 in person visits, and 11 phone check ins over a nine-month period * Provide feedback on the usefulness of CGM/CKM reports

FRAME for Heart Failure

18+
All Sexes
Cornwall, Canada

Heart failure is a high-risk, chronic condition that impacts patients' mental health. Approximately 50% of heart failure patients experience comorbid mental health conditions, such as stress, depression and anxiety, which affect their day-to-day lives. Despite this interconnection, the integration of mental health awareness and support into cardiac care remains limited. To address this gap, the FRAME (Foundation, Recognition, Awareness, Management, Engagement) intervention was co-designed by researchers, healthcare providers, health system decisionmakers, and patient partners. This pilot study evaluates the feasibility of implementing the FRAME intervention in pilot clinical sites within two health regions in Ontario, Canada, including team-based family medicine clinics, cardiac rehabilitation/specialist clinics, and emergency departments. Utilizing a pretest-posttest hybrid 1 model intervention design, this study evaluates process indicators and patient-focused outcomes through surveys and semi-structured qualitative interviews. Findings from this study will inform a future large scale cohort study and scalable integration of the FRAME tool into existing cardiac care pathways to enhance mental health awareness and support among heart failure patients.

Deprescribing Beta-Blockers for Diastolic Heart Failure

18+
All Sexes
Pleasanton, CA

The goal of this study is to learn whether stopping beta-blockers can help older adults with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) feel better and function better. This study will test whether "deprescribing" or stopping these medications in a careful, guided way can improve symptoms and quality of life. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: Deprescribing group: Beta-blockers are gradually reduced using capsules that contain decreasing doses. Usual care group: Beta-blockers are continued at the usual dose in look-alike capsules. All participants will: * Take study medicine for about 4 months * Have their blood pressure and heart rate monitored * Complete regular phone calls and questionnaires about how they are feeling This study does not involve any experimental medication. Participants active involvement in the study will last approximately 4 months. During these 4 months they will have 8 scheduled telephone visits.
