Filter by:This study aims to test the effectiveness of a Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) prevention program for individuals who have been diagnosed with prediabetes compared to a T2D educational control group. Project health is an obesity prevention program and has produced a 42% to 53% reduction in future onset of overweight/obesity and also produced greater reductions in negative affect compared to assessment-only controls that persisted. Project Health has been adapted to prevent onset of T2D among individuals with prediabetes. The study aims to test the effectiveness of Project Health at reducing BMI, HbA1c levels, increase physical activity and improve glucose control.
This study is designed to look into the effect of a lifestyle management guide called GEM (Glycemic Excursion Minimization) alongside continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and an activity monitor (FitBit) and the effect this can have on persons with prediabetes.
The study is designed to determine whether seaweed extract added to a carbohydrate-rich meal, can lower blood glucose levels after its consumption, and hence lower its glycaemic index, and if this effect is mediated through effects on insulin. It is designed as an acute, randomised, cross-over, controlled, three-arm dietary intervention trial in healthy subjects. Participants will be asked to consume either white bread, white bread with lower dose of seaweed extract or white bread with higher dose of seaweed extract.The effects on plasma glucose levels and levels of insulin will be determined over 3 hours after the consumption.
The research is designed as a randomized, 2-arm, parallel, controlled, human clinical trial to investigate the effects of avocado and mango consumption for 8 weeks on indices of macro- and micro- vascular function in individuals with prediabetes. FMD of the brachial artery, pulse wave velocity (PWV), central blood pressure (cBP), and Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) of the eye will be used for vascular assessments. The research plan will also explore cognitive and kidney function benefits of regular avocado and mango intake using specified cognitive tasks and kidney function biomarkers
This study will investigate the gut microbiota-mediated effects of whole wheat consumption on human health in adults with pre-diabetes. Participants will complete two phases of intervention in random order in which they will consume either whole wheat bread (4 servings) or white bread a day for two weeks prior to collecting specimens (stool, urine, and plasma/serum).
Currently, an estimated 3.9 million Malaysians continue to live with diabetes with many more who live with prediabetes. Diabetes was the one of the leading causes of death in the Malaysia and the leading cause for kidney failure, lower-limb amputations, and adult-onset blindness. Heart disease and stroke are two to four times more likely for individuals with diabetes. The use of mHealth or mobile health application can reduce blood sugar among individuals with prediabetes but also prevent a later occurrence of diabetes. In this study, the investigators aim to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a digital health supported pre-diabetes management program based in an urban community pharmacy setting
This study will examine the effects of regular almond consumption by individuals with elevated HbA1c on long-term glycemic control.
This study is to analyze whether the SGLT2-inhibitor empagliflozin or the IL-1 receptor antagonist anakinra may improve postprandial hypoglycemia in subjects with prediabetes.
A pilot study titled "A Virtual Cardiometabolic Health Program for African Immigrants (The Afro-DPP Program) will be conducted to address the cardiometabolic of community-dwelling African immigrants who have multiple cardiometabolic risk factors including hypertension, Type 2 Diabetes, high cholesterol, and overweight/obesity. The proposed study will recruit a total of 60 participants and will use a non-equivalent control group design to test the effectiveness of the intervention at two African churches in the Baltimore, Washington, D.C. area. The two churches will be randomly assigned to the intervention or delayed intervention group. At the end of a 6-month follow-up period, the control church will receive the intervention (delayed control group). All participants will receive a Bluetooth-enabled digital scale (Omron Model: BCM-500) that measures body composition including Body Weight, Body Fat percentage, Visceral Fat, Skeletal Muscle percentage, Resting Metabolism and Body Mass Index. A Bluetooth-enabled blood pressure monitor (Omron Model: BP7250) will also be distributed to all participants. All participants will download the Omron Connect app which will allow the participants to sync participants' blood pressure readings and body composition readings into the app. The research team will access these readings to monitor study outcomes and participants progress during the follow-up period.
When muscles are not contracting, the local energy demand by muscle and use of specific fuels used to produce energy by oxidative metabolism are minimal. The time people spend sitting inactive (sedentary time) typically comprises more than half of the day. This sedentary behavior is associated with elevated risk of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, some cancers, and multiple conditions leading to poor aging. From a progressive series of experiments, the driving goal is to develop a physiological method for sustaining contractile activity via oxidative metabolism over more time than is possible by traditional exercise (hours, not minutes per day). Developing a physiological method suitable of prolonged muscular activity for ordinary people (who are often unfit) requires gaining fundamental insights about muscle biology and biomechanics. This also entails a careful appreciation of the ability to isolate specific muscles in the leg during controlled movements, such as the soleus muscle during isolated plantarflexion. This includes quantifying specific biological processes that are directly responsive to elevated skeletal muscle recruitment. The investigators will focus on movement that is safe and practical for ordinary people to do given their high amount of daily sitting time. This includes developing methods to optimally raise muscle contractile activity, in a way that is not limited by fatigue, and is feasible throughout as many minutes of the day as possible safely. This also requires development of methodologies to quantify specific muscular activity, rather than generalized body movement. There is a need to learn how much people can increase muscle metabolism by physical activity that is perceived to them as being light effort. It is important to learn if this impacts systemic metabolic processes under experimental conditions over a short term time span in order to avoid confounding influences of changes in body weight or other factors.
