Trial summary

Control of body weight (BW) is important to prevent and manage type 2 diabetes. Regardless of the close association, little is understood about the precise relationship between BW and glycemic control, which might be of benefit for patients with type 2 diabetes. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Relationship Between Changes in Body Weight and Glycohemoglobin Levels in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Treated With Diet or Pioglitazone.

Control of body weight (BW) is important to prevent and manage type 2 diabetes. Regardless of the close association, little is understood about the precise relationship between BW and glycemic control, which might be of benefit for patients with type 2 diabetes. The researchers investigated the correlation between changes in BW and glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes treated with a diet therapy or pioglitazone.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1 (type 2 diabetes, body weight, HbA1c)The investigators analyzed the recorded data (body weight and glycohemoglobin) of 70 type 2 diabetic patients treated with the diet therapy. Recorded values at 0, 2 and 4 months for body weight (BW) and glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) were used. And changes from baseline (0 month) in BW (ΔBW) were plotted against those of HbA1c (ΔHbA1c).
2 (type 2 diabetes, pioglitazone, HbA1c)The investigators analyzed the recorded data (body weight and glycohemoglobin) of 23 type 2 diabetic patients treated with pioglitazone. Recorded values at 0, 2 and 4 months for body weight (BW)and glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) were used. And changes from baseline (0 month) in BW (ΔBW) were plotted against those of HbA1c (ΔHbA1c).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Saitama Medical University at 1 site in Japan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 May 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
