Effect of angiotensin receptor blockade on insulin sensitivity and endothelial function in abdominally obese hypertensive patients with impaired fasting glucose. [2012.02.01] AngII (angiotensin II) may contribute to cardiovascular risk in obesity via adverse effects on insulin sensitivity and endothelial function. In the present study, we examined the effects of ARB (angiotensin receptor blocker) therapy (losartan, 100 mg/day) on insulin sensitivity and endothelial function in 53 subjects with stage I hypertension, abdominal obesity and impaired fasting glucose.
Phase IV study comparing diurnal glycemic profile following the administration of
2 NPH plus regular human DNA recombinant insulin regimens in type 1 diabetes
mellitus (T1DM) adult patients. [2012] Intensive insulin therapy (IIT) based on multiple daily injections of long plus
rapid-acting insulin has been demonstrated to reduce mortality and morbidity
associated with chronic hyperglycemia in T1DM patients. The objective of this
study was to assess and compare the postprandial glycemic profile over a diurnal
12 h-period produced by the administration of a new NPH plus regular human DNA
recombinant IIT (test regimen) relative to the reference IIT in T1DM patients...
A randomised crossover placebo-controlled trial investigating the effect of brown seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum and Fucus vesiculosus) on postchallenge plasma glucose and insulin levels in men and women. [2011.12] This study examined the impact of brown seaweed on post-load plasma glucose and insulin concentrations in men and women. Twenty-three participants (11 men, 12 women) aged 19-59 years were recruited in this double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study... These data suggest that brown seaweed may alter the insulin homeostasis in response to carbohydrate ingestion.
Insulin detemir in a twice daily insulin regimen versus a three times daily insulin regimen in the treatment of type 1 diabetes in children: A pilot randomized controlled trial. [2011.11.08] ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Children with type 1 diabetes (DM1) often use three daily (TID) injections with intermediate acting insulin at breakfast and bedtime, and rapid acting insulin at breakfast and dinner. Substituting the evening intermediate acting insulin with a long acting insulin analogue (LAIA) at dinner in a twice daily (BID) injection regimen may be as effective as a TID regimen. The objective of this pilot study was to compare HbA1c in children with DM1 using a BID regimen with a LAIA at dinner (intervention) to those using a standard TID regimen (control) over 6 months... CONCLUSIONS: In this pilot study, incorporating LAIA in a BID regimen did not cause deterioration in HbA1c or increases in adverse events; suggesting that this may be a viable option for families where a more simplified insulin regimen would be beneficial and compliance may be improved. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT00522210.
Slow-release insulin in cystic fibrosis patients with glucose intolerance: a randomized clinical trial. [2011.11.08] Minicucci L, Haupt M, Casciaro R, De Alessandri A, Bagnasco F, Lucidi V, Notarnicola S, Lorini R, Bertasi S, Raia V, Cialdella P, Haupt R. Slow-release insulin in cystic fibrosis patients with glucose intolerance: a randomized clinical trial... Further studies are necessary to test glargine at higher dosage and for a longer follow-up period.
Clinical Trials Related to Humulin (Insulin Injection)
A Study to Characterize Regimens of Basal Insulin Intensified With Either Symlin® or Rapid Acting Insulin in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes [Completed]
This will be a randomized, open label, parallel group, multicenter study. There will be two
phases in the study. Phase 1 (Baseline to Week 24) will compare the efficacy and safety of
regimens of basal insulin intensified with either Symlin or rapid acting insulin in patients
with type 2 diabetes who have either been on a prior regimen of insulin for less than 6
months and were taking less than 50 U total of insulin per day OR are candidates for the
initiation of insulin therapy. The purpose of Phase 2 (Week 24 to Week 36) is to explore
further intensification of diabetes regimens in patients failing to achieve HbA1c <=6. 5% at
Week 24.
Comparison of Insulins Aspart and Lispro in Insulin Pumps [Active, not recruiting]
The purpose of the study is to study compare the glycemic control between insulins aspart and
lispro 48 to 100 hours after pump infusion line change in subjects with type 1 using diabetes
using an insulin pump.
Insulin Glargine Plus Insulin Glulisine Multiple Daily Injections (MDI) Versus Premix Insulin Treatment in Subjects With Diabetes Mellitus (Type 1 or Type 2) [Completed]
The purpose of this study is to test for superiority in improvements from baseline in patient
reported outcomes in subjects with type 1 or type 2 diabetes when treated with insulin
glargine plus rapid acting insulin glulisine MDI versus treatment with premix insulin.
Comparison of Insulin Detemir, Insulin Aspart and Biphasic Insulin Aspart 30 With OAD Treatment in Type 2 Diabetes [Active, not recruiting]
This trial is conducted in Europe.
The aim of this research study is to compare the efficacy (reduction in HbA1c and in blood
glucose levels) of insulin detemir, insulin aspart and biphasic insulin aspart 30, when added
to current OAD treatment in type 2 diabetes and to verify the safety of use ( number and
severity of episodes of hypoglycaemia, body weight and side effects).
Safety and Efficacy of Insulin Detemir Plus Insulin Aspart Against Insulin Glargine Plus Insulin Aspart as Mealtime Insulin in Type 1 Diabetes [Completed]
This trial is conducted in Europe and the United States of America (USA).
The purpose of this study is to test whether insulin detemir is a safe and at least as
effective alternative to insulin glargine for the control of blood glucose in basal/bolus
therapy in patients with type I diabetes.
