Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to compare the effectiveness of a fully automated digital diabetes prevention program to standard of care human coach-based diabetes prevention programs for promoting clinically meaningful lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes in adults with prediabetes.
The investigators aimed to compare efficacy and safety of IGlarLixi and insulin glargine plus dulaglutide as intensification from basal insulin with metformin, in the absence of head-to-head trials.
This project will examine the effectiveness of an intervention to reduce sedentary behavior in Kansas State University employees who are primarily working from home. We will recruit 100 employees to participate. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four conditions: desk only, program only, desk + program, or waitlist control. The program will consist of strategies to reduce sitting and increase physical activity in the home environment. We will assess whether the intervention successfully elicits reductions in sitting among employees, as well as changes in cardiometabolic and work-related outcomes.
Nutrients and chemicals in food are able to regulate expression of genetic elements. Gene-nutrient interaction in response specific diets can increase an individual's risk, shifting the individual from health toward the development of chronic disease. The Transcription Factor 7 Like 2 (TCF7L2) gene may either put individuals at risk for or protect from Type 2 diabetes mellitus in the presence of certain foods. The main purpose of this four-week study is to examine diet-induced gene-nutrient interaction, with a focus on glucose, insulin, inflammation (CRP) and the plasma metabolome in individuals who have either the CC or the TT form of the rs7903146 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (C/T) within the TCF7L2 gene. The (2) one-week study diets, one Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) based and the other low-fat based will be separated by a (1) week return to a regular habitual diet.
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that affects the ability of the body to regulate glucose (sugar). When glucose levels are low, the liver can make glucose to increase levels in the body. This important process is called endogenous glucose production (EGP). Previous studies suggest that the central nervous system (CNS), including the brain, helps to coordinate this process by communicating with the liver through potassium channels. Control of EGP can be impaired in people with type 2 diabetes, which may contribute to the high levels of glucose seen in these individuals. The purpose of this study is to understand how activating these potassium channels in the control centers of the brain with a medication called diazoxide might inhibit the amount of glucose made by the liver. This is particularly important for people with diabetes who have very high production of glucose, which in turn causes hyperglycemia (high levels of sugar in the blood) that leads to diabetes complications.
