Filter by:The aim of this study is to explore the associations between chronotype and glycaemic control, cardiometabolic health and other lifestyle factors.
HYPOTHESIS: Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) have distinct pathophysiologic etiologies. Therefore, therapeutic interventions designed to correct the specific underlying pathogenic abnormalities in IGT and IFG will be required to optimally prevent the progressive beta cell failure and development of overt type 2 diabetes.
The overall goal of this study is to compare how well motivational messages (text messages from the doctor's office), diabetes health coaches, and enhanced usual care with diabetes education materials (provided at the doctor's office) work to help African-American adults with uncontrolled diabetes improve their diabetes self-care decisions. Self-care is difficult when you have diabetes, especially when patients have other medical conditions, their diabetes is uncontrolled, and when they live in an area without many primary care doctors. Many studies have show that encouraging text messages from the doctor's office and health coaches can help people take better care of themselves. But before primary care clinics around the country start trying to send texts, hire health coaches, or provide additional educational materials it is critical for them to know which approach is more likely to help. This study will assign African-American diabetics to either text messages, health coaches, or enhanced care to find out which one works better. The investigators especially want to find out if one works better for people at highest risk. Lastly, the investigators want to find out if messages or coaches help people improve their blood sugar, quality of life, and their feelings about primary care. The study will test messages, coaches, and enhanced care side by side in primary care doctors' offices. The messaging and coaching programs will give patients pretty much the same information, but in different ways. The text messages will be written carefully based on each patient's needs and interests. The coaches will be trained in how to help people get motivated and work to reach their health goals. This study will include 646 African-American adults, ages 18 and above, with uncontrolled diabetes and one or more additional chronic condition, living in medically underserved communities. People will have to have a cell phone or smart phone with texting capability and be able to use it to participate. 258 participants will get messages, 258 will get coaches, and 130 will receive enhanced care. The investigators will be able to tell if messages and coaches work by seeing if people improve their diabetes self-care decisions, and if their blood sugar, quality of life, and feelings about primary care get better. The long-term study goal is to get primary care clinics all over the country to start using motivational messages or health coaches if they work well.
Dental treatment to individuals with diabetes mellitus, particularly type 1 diabetes (T1DM), has always represented a challenge to the dentist. The literature provides some scientific evidence showing that diabetes is a risk factor for the occurrence of oral opportunistic infections, abnormal bone metabolism and delay in tissue repair, but with varying degrees of evidence. Hyperglycemia, as well as diabetes, are known as risk factor for post-surgical infections, so maintaining the glycemic control in the postoperative period has been standard to health care. However, there are few studies on the impact of the glycemic control in the repair process after tooth extractions. And, to our knowledge, there aren't evidences that infections resulting from oral surgery are more frequent in individuals with diabetes or that the antibiotics prophylaxis is needed for these individuals before invasive dental procedures. Some prospective studies show that people with diabetes, especially type 2 (T2DM), do not exhibit higher frequency of complications in repair process after tooth extractions compared to healthy individuals without diabetes. Recently, the study conduct by Fernandes et al., 2015, found higher frequency of delay on epithelial covering of the alveolus after 21 days of tooth extraction in individuals with T2DM, comparing to a control group. Delay was not related to infection and on the day 60th after surgery, all alveolus were totally epithelized. One of the author's hypothesis for the delay in the alveolar epithelialization on the participants with T2DM was the possible reduction of Epithelial Grow Factor (EGF) in saliva of these individuals. Some studies already demonstrated the reduction in salivary detection of EGF in individuals with diabetes. There aren't prospective studies in the literature at our disposal, that evaluated intraoperative complications of tooth extractions of teeth already erupted in individuals with T1DM, or even post tooth extraction healing and the chronology of epithelialization of the alveolus and its relation with the degree of salivary EGF. The aim of this study is to evaluated the intraoperative events and the post- tooth extraction healing, regarding the chronology of the repairing events and the occurrence of postoperative complications in individuals with T1DM compared to a control group. Besides, this study intend to relate the time of complete epithelial covering of the alveolus with the EGF collected by whole stimulated saliva.
Allogenic adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells will be injected into patients newly diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and therapeutic effect of ex-vivo expanded umbilical cord blood regulatory T cells on autoimmune diabetes.
The purpose of the study is to better understand how the body handles sugars glucose and fats, such as cholesterol and triglycerides in sickle cell disease, and what puts certain persons at risk to develop diabetes. This understanding may help us to find new treatments to control blood sugar and prevent diabetes in people with and without sickle cell disease (SCD). In this research, DNA and RNA will be isolated from blood cells. DNA will be used to find genes that cause or protect from diabetes, high cholesterol and high triglyceride, and RNA will be used for studies designed to find out how genes are doing their job of eventually producing proteins.
This superiority of central pressure versus peripheral measures to predict cardiovascular events has also been reported in general population or in elder people
Multiple studies have demonstrated a very low prevalence of women meeting physical activity and weight gain recommendations during pregnancy. Additionally, previous Blossom Project studies have shown that when pregnant women engage in a 20 minute walk each day, they spend significantly more time sitting in addition to longer bouts of sitting resulting in increased total sedentary time. We are going to test which method works best to decrease sitting time, and how those methods effect metabolic parameters such as insulin resistance and blood glucose. This study will consist of three groups, each utilizing a commercially available fitness tracker, Fitbit. Group 1 (SR): will reduce sedentary time by interrupting prolonged sitting. Group 2 (WALK): will reduce sedentary time via walking. Group 3 (UC): will continue on with their normal daily routine; usual care.
