History of Changes
  Purpose

Many patients with Diabetes find difficulties in achieving glycemic control. Hemoglobin A1c(HgBA1c) is used as a marker for glycemic control. UCP2 is affected by high glucose levels, high free fatty acids and high oxidative stress.

The investigators intend to learn about the changes in UCP2 along the process of reaching glycemic control.


Condition Intervention
Diabetes
 Procedure: Blood withdrawal

Study Type: Observational

Further study details as provided by Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Levels of gene expression for UCP2 (RQ) [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Checking UCP2 levels compared to HgBA1c


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Improved metabolic state [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Glycemic control (glucose level and HgA1c), levels of free reactive oxygen species (ROS) and non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs).


Biospecimen Retention:   Samples Without DNA

Whole blood for UCP2 mRNA


Estimated Enrollment: 50
Study Start Date: January 2013
Estimated Study Completion Date: January 2014
