Treatment Summary

Glyburide is a type of drug used to treat people with type 2 diabetes. It is usually given to people who cannot control their diabetes with the usual first-line therapy, which is metformin. Glyburide works by increasing the amount of insulin in the body, which helps to regulate blood sugar levels. It was FDA approved in 1984 and a combination of glyburide and metformin was approved in 2000.

Effectiveness

How Glynase Affects Patients

Glyburide is a drug that helps the body produce insulin. It is taken once daily and the dose is usually started low (0.75mg) and can increase up to 10mg or more as needed. It is important to note that taking glyburide may increase the risk of cardiovascular death, similar to the drug tolbutamide.

How Glynase works in the body

Glyburide is a type of drug that helps the body make and release more insulin. It does this by blocking potassium channels, which normally open in response to high glucose concentrations and cause the body to make insulin. By forcing them to stay closed, glyburide boosts insulin production.

Glynase for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Glynase has been by far the most effective medication I've tried for my hyperglycemia. Not only did it show results immediately, but over time as I lost weight and exercised more, I was able to reduce my dosage with no loss in efficacy. Additionally, it's very easy to take and I experienced no negative side effects whatsoever.

Post-Discharge Support for Type 2 Diabetes

18+
All Sexes
Birmingham, AL

This study tests whether a support program led by a nurse case manager and community health worker can help patients with type 2 diabetes manage their medications after leaving the hospital. Many patients with diabetes take multiple medications, and changes to these medications during hospital stays can cause confusion and lead to missed doses or incorrect use. This is especially common in communities with limited access to healthcare. The study uses a computer-based tool called MEDBRIDGE (MEDication BRIDGE) to identify patients who may be at higher risk for problems after discharge, such as worsening blood sugar control or return visits to the emergency department. Patients identified as high-risk will receive 3 months of support from a nurse case manager and community health worker team, who will help with medication questions, coordinate with their doctor, and provide follow-up check-ins. The main goal is to find out whether this type of support program is practical to deliver and acceptable to patients. The study will also track changes in blood sugar levels and emergency department visits. Forty-five patients will be enrolled over 6 months at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and Cooper Green Mercy Health Services in Jefferson County, Alabama.

Fish Oil for Type 2 Diabetes

40 - 70
All Sexes
Montreal, Canada

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.

Cold Exposure for Type 2 Diabetes

40 - 75
All Sexes
Sherbrooke, Canada

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.

Nutrition Education and Support for Pregestational Diabetes

18+
Female
Columbus, OH

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.

Rapid Treatment Approach for Chronic Kidney Disease

18 - 84
All Sexes
Temple, TX

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
