Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 65 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients of T2DM, either newly diagnosed or previously diagnosed and on treatment with antidiabetic oral hypoglycemic agents or insulin and attending diabetes OPD or admitted to the Medicine Department, were taken as cases. Age- and gender-matched nondiabetic people admitted to the Medicine Department were taken as control subjects. Both these groups will be interviewed, examined, investigated, and included in the study.

Who may be able to join

  • Age > 18 years Both male and female subjects Subjects capable of giving consent and voluntarily willing to participate in the study

Who cannot join

  • Chronic kidney disease patients Any nondiabetic nephropathy patients Patients affected by hypertension Patients affected by ocular disorders Neuropathies of other etiologies like chronic liver disease patients, alcoholics, or drug addicts Critically ill patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus Patients who have not given consent

About this study

Official title: Study of Visceral Fat in Type 2diabetic Patients and Its Relation to Microvascular Complications

Study the correlation between METS IR and visceral fat in type 2 diabetes and its relation to microvascular complication

Read the detailed description

The Metabolic Score for Insulin Resistance (METS-IR) is a metabolic index developed with the aim to quantify peripheral insulin sensitivity in humans; it was first described under the name METS-IR by Bello-Chavolla et al in 2018. It was developed by the Metabolic Research Disease Unit at the Institute National de Ciencias Médicas Salvador Zubirán and validated against the euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp and the frequently-sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test in Mexican population.It is a non-insulin-based alternative to insulin-based methods to quantify peripheral insulin sensitivity and an alternative to the Homeostatic Model Assessment (HOMA-IR) and the quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI).

Very limited research correlate between visceral obesity and microvascular complications in type 2 diabetic patients and how can the metabolic score for insulin resistance predict visceral obesity and microvascular complications in type2 diabetic patients. In this study the investigators will search for these correlations.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Visceral Fat and Insulin Resistance, run by Sohag University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Nov 2023. 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 Egypt. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

correlation between METS IR and visceral fat in type 2 diabetes (time frame: one year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Nov 2023.
