ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying the effects of a treatment called cryolipolysis on people with type 2 diabetes who are also obese. Cryolipolysis is a process that cools fat cells to help reduce body fat. The researchers want to see if this treatment can improve insulin resistance, which is when the body doesn’t respond well to insulin, making it harder to control blood sugar levels.
To be eligible for this trial, participants must be women aged 35 to 45 who were diagnosed with diabetes within the last five years and have a fasting blood sugar level higher than 140 mg/dL. They should also have a body mass index (BMI) between 25 and 30, which indicates they are overweight. It's important to note that some people cannot participate, such as those who rely on insulin or have certain health conditions like heart problems or kidney failure. Participants will receive clear explanations about the treatment and can expect to be closely monitored during the study to assess the effects of cryolipolysis on their diabetes management.
