| Conditions: |
|
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus |
| Purpose: |
|
The purpose of the study is to see how a dietary oil called conjugated linoleic acid, or
CLA, might be useful in combination with diabetes medication. Some studies show that CLA
can modestly reduce body weight and body fat. Our research idea is that taking CLA will
reduce body weight and body fat without interfering with the diabetes medications' effects
on blood sugar.
|
| Study summary: |
|
The long term goal of this research is to develop effective complementary strategies to aid
in the management of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Our central hypothesis is that CLA reduces
body weight and body fat mass when administered concomitantly with oral diabetes medication,
The rationale of this study is that using CLA to reduce body weight and body fat in people
with T2DM may improve efficacy and longevity of the oral diabetes medications in the
management of T2DM. We plan to test our central hypothesis and accomplish the overall
objective of this research by pursuing the following three specific aims.
Specific Aim 1: Determine the ability of CLA to reduce body weight and body fat mass in
people using oral diabetes medication for management of T2DM.
Specific Aim 2: Determine the ability of CLA to modulate insulin sensitivity when combined
with oral diabetes medication.
Specific Aim 3: Determine the safety and tolerability of CLA in combination with oral
diabetes medication. |
