View clinical trials related to Dysglycemia.
Filter by:Dysglycemia is an important pre-risk condition which can potentially lead to diabetes if not adequately treated. The variation of glycemic balance can lead to cardiovascular disorders. The study will evaluate if Reglicem®, a nutraceutical containing Berberine, Curcumin, Inositol, Banaba, and Chromium Picolinate, can ameliorate glycemic status in patients with dysglycemia.
The aim will be to evaluate if Glicoset® 1000, a nutraceutical containing Ilex Paraguariensis, White Mulberry and Chromium Picolinate, can be effective in improving glycemic status in subject with dysglycemia.
The Nordic Diet is a dietary pattern rich in traditional Nordic foods, including berries, grains, and fatty fish common in northern Europe. Studies have shown a protective effect of the Nordic Diet on cardiometabolic risk factors, however only select clinical practice guidelines for the management of diabetes (i.e. Diabetes Canada) recommend this dietary pattern. To support the update of the EASD clinical practice guidelines for nutrition therapy, the investigators propose to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies and clinical trials to investigate the association between the Nordic Diet, cardiometabolic outcomes and cardiovascular disease incidence and mortality. The findings generated by this proposed knowledge synthesis will help improve the health of consumers through informing evidence-based guidelines and improving health outcomes by educating healthcare providers and patients, stimulating industry innovation, and guiding future research design.
The prevalence of cardiometabolic risk is high among South Asians which manifests itself at an early age. Studies have reported that unhealthy food choices, inadequate physical activity and lack of awareness on healthy lifestyle practices pose a huge threat to the increasing prevalence of metabolic abnormalities even at adolescence. In an earlier study conducted in 2006, reported that 68% of the children during their early adolescence had one or more of the cardiometabolic abnormalities such as obesity, central adiposity, increased blood pressure and presence of dysglycaemia and dyslipidaemia. The risk escalated with increasing weight. Therefore, it is imperative to sensitize the children on improving their lifestyle by conducting screening tests and health education programmes in schools by involving teachers. The Investigator have also shown in a study that teachers can be instrumental in imparting knowledge on the prevention of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes by promoting healthy behavioral changes. The proposed study will focus on a) changes in the prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors over a 10 year period b) health education programme to school children c) recommendations to school teachers (tool-kit) to inculcate improved lifestyle practices to their students.
Adult subjects were recruited from a health examination center. Their fasting blood samples were collected for laboratory analyses of multiple measures including mineral, glucose, lipids, etc.
The study will evaluate patients requiring frequent glucose monitoring in a Surgical ICU. The study population includes surgical critical care patients who require blood glucose monitoring. Subjects must have a vascular access device [i.e., Central Venous Catheters (CVC), Multi-lumen Access Catheters (MAC) either in place or to be placed with an expected usage of at least 48 hours. During Phase One of the trial, patients will be connected to the OptiScanner for up to 72 hours and the hospital's current standard of care for glucose management will be followed.
Health authorities recommend a reduction in added sugars from sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) due to risk of obesity and diabetes. As a sugar-reduction strategy, finding the ideal SSB replacement is of the utmost importance. Those who are already consuming SSBs might not easily replace it with water and therefore non-nutritive sweetened beverages (NSBs) present a sweetened alternative, though guidelines recommend water instead of NSBs as a replacement for SSBs. Recent evidence suggests that saccharine, a non-nutritive sweetener, which is not found in NSBs, might induce glucose intolerance by altering gut microbiota in humans. It is currently not known if replacing SSBs with NSBs (which contain low-calorie sweeteners other than saccharine) or water will have any effect on the human gut microbiota and any downstream diabetic risk. The investigators plan to undertake a randomized controlled cross-over trial in 75 healthy adults to assess the effect of replacing SSBs with equal amounts of NSBs or water for 4 weeks on the composition and diversity of human gut microbiota, changes in glucose tolerance and total body fat in those who regularly drink SSBs. Each participant will act as their own control receiving each of the three interventions of SSB, NSB and water for four weeks in random order, each period separated by a four-week wash-out period. All study visits will occur at the Clinical Nutrition and Risk Factor Modification Centre at St. Michael's Hospital. This study will contribute to knowledge that will inform dietary guidelines and public policy with regards to the best possible replacement for SSBs. It will also shed light on the potential mechanism of the adverse effects of NSBs and if the replacement of SSBs by NSBs or water are in fact similar with respect to their effect on gut bacteria and any downstream diabetic risk.
This study evaluates differences in brain function and cognitive performance in adolescents with type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared to non diabetic controls (both obese and lean) and correlates these changes with obesity, insulin resistance, and glycemic control in youth with T2D.
AGS (Acute Glucose Service ) is an inpatient glucose management service consisting of Nurse Practitioner and physician. Team manages not - consulted- based preoperative assessment, perioperative glucose control, patient education and supervision, but also transition of care postoperatively. The goal is to detect and treat dysglycemias , but also provide an active and constantly ongoing education to other hospital teams. AGS improves better overall- survival of arthroplastic patients and is an effective way to recognize and treat dysglycemias and to organize constantly ongoing education.
Cross-sectional and prospective studies are proposed to test the prediction that a higher proportion of HIV+ individuals with hazardous alcohol drinking with subclinical fasting dysglycemia will present with impaired oral glucose tolerance and dysfunctional metabolic skeletal muscle phenotype. Prospective studies will test the efficacy of an exercise intervention in improving glycemic control. Results will inform larger scale interventions to ameliorate metabolic comorbidities, improve health, quality of life, and possibly decrease hazardous alcohol drinking.
