Filter by:Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) can be prevented through weight loss and increased physical activity, yet its prevalence continues to rise. This trend may be due in part to low rates of participation in evidence-based lifestyle change programs such as the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP). New strategies are needed to promote healthy behaviors among individuals at risk for T2DM, and mobile health technologies may be an effective and scalable approach to achieve this. One promising tool is JOOL Health, a mobile phone-based application that leverages principles from Self-Determination Theory to help individuals understand how certain behaviors (e.g. sleep, diet, physical activity) influence their ability to pursue their core values and purpose in life. Through personalized messaging and feedback, JOOL Health aims to increase autonomous motivation, a form of motivation closely associated with the initiation and maintenance of healthy behaviors. In this mixed methods pilot randomized controlled trial, the investigators will test whether the JOOL Health mobile phone-based application -- used alone and in conjunction with other mobile health technologies to track weight and physical activity -- can increase autonomous motivation to prevent type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among individuals with prediabetes who previously declined participation in a Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP).
This study evaluates the effect of acute administration of oral prednisone in white blood cells counts and glucose tolerance and the relationship of these measures with changes in gene expression in healthy volunteers. White blood cells counts, glucose tolerance and gene expression will be study before and after prednisone administration.
This study aims to show whether the hyperglycaemic phases following a treatment with glucocorticoids, as well as blood measurements correlated to high blood glucose levels and insulin resistance, vary significantly between patients with and without gestational diabetes mellitus.
Prediabetes is defined as an intermediate metabolic state that leads to the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) and the prehypertension is a category assigned to identify patients who are at risk of developing hypertension (AH), in both pathologies the abnormalities in the variation of blood pressure (BP) has been related to organ damage, its evaluation is performed by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). Dapagliflozin is a selective and reversible inhibitor of the sodium-glucose co-transporter type 2 (SGLT-2), which reduces renal reabsorption of glucose and promotes the excretion of glucose through the urine, in the way that glucose blood. Another reported effects is the decrease on BP, so it would be interesting to evaluate this effects in patients with prediabetes and prehypertension, as a potential therapy to treat disorders and to prevent progression to DM2 and Hypertension, respectively. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Dapagliflozin on variability of blood pressure in patients with prediabetes and prehypertension without pharmacological treatment. The investigators hypothesis is that the administration of dapagliflozin decreases variability of blood pressure in patients with prediabetes and prehypertension without pharmacological treatment.
Type 2 diabetes is a worldwide epidemic disease, and preventive strategies are needed to face this health problem. The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of linagliptin + metformin vs metformin alone on physiopathological parameters, such as glucose metabolism, insulin resistance, insulin secretion and pancreatic beta cell function in patients with impaired fasting glucose plus impaired glucose tolerance, during 24 months.
Diet plays an important role in relation to prevention of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and certain cancers. Studies have shown that diets with high whole-grain content could decrease the risk of these lifestyle related diseases and in Sweden the national dietary guidelines recommends whole-grain based instead of refined cereal products. It is, however, not clear whether whole-grain from wheat and rye share similar protective effects since there are large differences in amount and quality of dietary fibre and associated bioactive compounds. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of a wholegrain diet with low- or high lignan content on different cardiometabolic risk factors with the primary endpoint being blood glucose levels after 2h oral glucose tolerance test in men with metabolic syndrome or sign thereof.
This study will test Scanadu Urine Device for clinical performance and usability.
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.
This is a Phase 2, multi-center, double blind, placebo controlled study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of PBI-4050, and its effects on the pancreatic, pulmonary functions and on various biomarkers in Cystic Fibrosis patients with abnormal glucose tolerance. Patients with abnormal glucose tolerance have elevated glucose level either at 1 hour or 2 hour during an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT). The Main study will include 24 weeks of treatment with PBI-4050 or matching placebo. At the end of the treatment period, patients will have the option of participating in a 24-week Extension study.
The goal of this study is to learn about how a naturally occurring hormone called kisspeptin affects blood sugar and insulin levels.
