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.

This study is testing whether a new medication called CX11 works and is safe for participants with type 2 diabetes who have not reached good blood sugar control while taking a steady dose of metformin, with or without a steady dose of an SGLT2 inhibitor, for at least 90 days. The study is being done at multiple medical centers. Participants are assigned by chance (randomized) to different groups, and neither the participants nor the study staff know which group they're in (double-blind). The groups are compared side by side (parallel), and some participants will receive inactive pills (placebo) to help measure the true effect of the study drug. After screening, participants will be randomly placed into one of six groups, with equal chances of being in any group. Each group will receive a different dose of CX11 or a placebo. Treatment will last 24 weeks. After that, all participants will have a 2-week follow-up period to check on safety.

This is a single-arm pragmatic clinical trial of time-restricted eating in patients with type 2 diabetes. Patients will be recruited from the University of Kentucky Barnstable Brown Diabetes Center. Subjects will participate in a 10-hour time-restricted eating intervention for 1-year.

CAPTAIN-T2D will take place in two parts. Part 1 (Screening) will evaluate patients with type 2 diabetes and elevated cortisol risk factors for trial eligibility and the presence of elevated cortisol. Participants deemed eligible from Part 1 will be randomized to either clofutriben or placebo in the double-blind (participant and investigator), dose-ranging, interventional Part 2 (Treatment).

Time-restricted eating - where no food is consumed over a period of time - has been shown to promote weight loss and improve cardio-metabolic function. In individuals with type 2 diabetes, it is also been shown to improve glucose control. The investigators propose a randomized controlled trial to determine whether time-restricted eating is an effective therapeutic strategy that can preserve pancreatic beta-cell function and improve glycemic control early in participants with type 2 diabetes.

People with serious mental illness have high risk for type 2 diabetes due to multiple risk factors, including the metabolic side effects of psychotropic medications that are used to treat these conditions. Type 2 diabetes is preventable through lifestyle and pharmacological interventions, but many people with serious mental illness do not receive regular screening for type 2 diabetes risk. In many health care settings, clinical pharmacists are increasingly managing patients with serious mental illness and have expertise in monitoring the metabolic side effects of psychotropic medications. This study evaluates the feasibility and acceptability of using a diabetes prediction model that is based on electronic health record data (the MetSense risk flag) to alert clinical pharmacists about patients who are at high diabetes risk, prompting these clinicians to prioritize diabetes risk management services.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of physical activity on glucose control in pregnant patients with pregestational Type 2 diabetes. The main question it seeks to answer is "will physical activity following a meal improve blood sugar control in pregnant women with Type 2 diabetes?" Researchers will compare the glucose control of two groups: one that walks for 20 minutes after each meal, and one that does not.

The goal of this study is to enhance reach and uptake of diabetes prevention among young adults, with a focus on recruiting underserved and high-need students who face additional challenges, including food and financial insecurity. The specific aims are: Aim 1 - Evaluate the efficacy of an AYA-tailored version of the UC DPP for mitigating type 2 diabetes risk (i.e., weight change) in a pre/post pilot trial. The investigators hypothesize that the AYA-tailored intervention will be effective at producing 5% weight loss from baseline to program completion (at 9-months). Aim 2 - Assess the feasibility and acceptability of an AYA-tailored version of the UC DPP program. The investigators hypothesize that it will be feasible to recruit the desired number of participants given proposed innovative outreach strategies, and that the AYA-tailored intervention will be deemed acceptable to participants both qualitatively and in regards to their retention in the program at rates similar to the larger UC DPP. The investigators will recruit 80 UCLA undergraduate students. Participants will be asked to complete a brief screening online form to assess eligibility and to collect contact information. The PI and/or Research Assistants (RAs) will reach out to eligible participants to obtain informed consent and enroll them in the pilot trial. The investigators will randomize participants to the tailored DPP cohort vs control cohort. Control participants will be offered the opportunity to participate in the tailored DPP in the following academic year. The tailored DPP intervention will be online and asynchronously. Participants will be asked to complete the intervention lessons on their own time. Each lesson typically takes on average 15 minutes to complete. Control group will receive each intervention materials via e-mail for participants to review on their own time and will receive acceptability surveys. The interventions for the control group will be remote. A research assistant will meet with control participants via Zoom to explain the intervention materials. Control group will receive access to a study habits intervention, alcohol use intervention, and financial literacy intervention. At the end of each quarter (Fall, Winter, and Spring), both control and intervention participants will receive an email with a unique link to a brief REDCap survey to ascertain acceptability of sessions/lessons. Furthermore, participants will complete baseline and 9-month follow-up assessments. Participants will complete a 30 minute questionnaire and height/weight measurements will be collected by a RA. Participants will be asked to self-report weight and physical activity at the end of the fall and winter quarter; data will be collected via brief REDCap survey.

This study will look at how much cagrilintide helps people with overweight or obesity and type 2 diabetes lower their body weight. Cagrilintide is a new investigational medicine. Doctors may not yet prescribe cagrilintide. Participant will either get cagrilintide or placebo. Which treatment participant get is decided by chance. Participants are two times more likely to get cagrilintide than placebo. Like all medicines, the study medicine may have side effects. For each participant, the study will last for about 1 year and 6 months.

This study will adapt a community health worker (CHW)-led Type 2 diabetes (T2D) intervention to include mental health and digital components using a trauma informed care approach, and test the feasibility and acceptability of this intervention to support South Asians with T2D at risk for depression.

The goal of this clinical trial is to pilot test different strategies to address health related social needs (HRSN) experienced by adolescent and young adult patients with type 2 diabetes and their families. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How feasible are the strategies? * How acceptable are the strategies? * How reliably and consistently can the strategies be implemented? Participants will: Attend regularly scheduled diabetes clinic visits. Complete surveys and interviews. Be connected to community resources and organizations to help address HRSN.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of three different interventions in improving neuropathy symptoms in individuals aged 35-85 with moderate to severe neuropathy. The study will compare three treatment groups: Intraneural Facilitation® (INF®) therapy alone, INF® therapy combined with Neuro vascular index (NVI) food-guided elimination (NVIf), and NVIf alone. The aim is to determine which treatment results in the greatest improvement in neuropathy symptoms, including quality of life, sensory and pain improvements, and functional outcomes.
