Effectiveness

How Steglatro Affects Patients

Ertugliflozin works by causing the body to excrete more glucose in the urine. This results in a negative balance and increased urination. As a result, this diabetes drug has been found to help lower body weight and blood pressure in those with diabetes.

How Steglatro works in the body

Ertugliflozin helps to reduce blood sugar levels by blocking a protein that normally reabsorbs glucose from the urine. This causes more glucose to be excreted in the urine, which lowers the amount of glucose in the blood. As a result, it reduces hyperglycemia without needing to produce more insulin.

Steglatro for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

This drug has already lowered my sugar levels by 50 points and I've only just started using it. If it keeps up this good work, it'll be a great help to me.

Steglatro for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

I've been on steglatro for just over two weeks now, and I'm not seeing the results I'd hoped for. My sugar hasn't dropped much, which is concerning. Additionally, I've developed a pain in my neck that's worrying me. Not sure if I'll continue with this medication or not.

Steglatro for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

I started using this medication four months ago and saw great results the first month. However, since then I've been dealing with vaginal itchiness and a yeast infection that won't go away no matter what medicine I take. Additionally, I've had problems with constipation. Overall, it's not worth it to me and I'm going back to my previous medication.

Steglatro for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

I experienced literally every single side effect this treatment came with, and it didn't even help lower my sugar levels. I'm really struggling, but my doctor called me this morning to check in. She was very understanding and called in a new prescription for me that should be more effective.

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
