Filter by:The investigators aim to evaluate whether and to what extent glucose tolerance, beta cell function, insulin clearance, and glucose metabolic fluxes change in response to an acute increase in plasma triglycerides during lipid infusion, independently of free fatty acid (FFA) levels, in nondiabetic subjects.
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.
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) has been rising rapidly with an increased burden to the healthcare system. As such T2D prevention is highly recommendable, and, theoretically, it can definitely be successful. However, though feasible T2D prevention is difficult to implement due to the heterogeneity of the disease that make response to population intervention (and treatment) only partially successful. Precision medicine aims to prevent chronic diseases by tailoring interventions or recommendations to a combination of a genetic background, metabolic profile, and lifestyle. Classification of individuals at risk into clusters that differ in their susceptibility to develop T2D may foster the identification of preventive interventions. Recent advances in omics technologies have offered opportunities as well as challenges in the use of precision medicine to prevent T2D. Moreover, new mobile health (mHealth) technologies have enhanced how diabetes is managed. However, little is still known about the effectiveness of mHealth technology as intervention tools for reducing diabetes risk.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of exercise on quality of life, sleep quality and anxiety in patients 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.
The high prevalence of prediabetes in HIV patients is also an outpost event for the further development of diabetes and cardiovascular events, as well as for the prolonged survival of HIV patients with metabolic problems and their complications. Based on the well-established experience in the field of traditional diabetes with prediabetes, the combination of SGLT2 inhibitors can target the pathophysiological mechanisms of HIV-induced metabolic disorders, and the results of a small pilot study of one of the representative drugs, cabergoline, in HIV-combined diabetic patients suggest its efficacy and safety in the treatment of HIV-combined diabetic patients. Combined with the advantages of the concentrated disease resources of HIV patients in the investigator's unit, this study is intended to use a single-center randomized controlled clinical trial design, giving the experimental group drug combined with lifestyle intervention and the control group lifestyle combined with placebo intervention, to verify whether the combination of cabergoline and lifestyle intervention can safely and significantly change the clinical outcome of glucose metabolism, as well as the effect on body weight and pancreatic islet function of patients The study provides top clinical evidence for the treatment of these patients and suggests a new set of interventions for patients with HIV combined with prediabetes. No similar studies have been found to be innovative in the literature search, and the implementation of this study will be of great clinical value.
Prediabetes is an intermediate transition to hyperglycemia between normal blood glucose and diabetes, including impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT)and the presence of a combination of the two. At present, the prediabetes population in China is very large. Timely detection of this sub-health population and effective intervention are the key to prevent or delay diabetes and related complications. Basic research showed that Tangningtongluo had a good hypoglycemic effect on db/db diabetic mice and STZ induced diabetic rats, and could alleviate pancreatic islet destruction and insulin resistance to some extent. In this study, the therapeutic effects of Tangningtongluo pian provided by Guizhou bailing Enterprise Group Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd on patients with prediabetes was evaluated clinically. A multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was designed to provide evidence-based medical evidence for Tangningtongluo pian in the treatment of prediabetes . In the design of this trial, the therapeutic effects and safety of Tangningtongluo pian in the treatment of prediabetes were evaluated with Tangningtongluo pian in the treatment group and placebo in the control group.
The concept that the roots of cardiometabolic disease start in early life was established by Dr. David Barker, who documented relationships between low birthweight (as a marker for challenges during gestation) and later cardiovascular disease (CVD). Later work has suggested that post-natal challenges (similar to prenatal ones) may also exhibit links to later cardiometabolic disease, with the strongest links appearing to be between low weight in early childhood and later hypertension and high waist circumference (WC). However, assessments for the relationship between early childhood challenges and insulin resistance and glucose regulation have been lacking and long-term cohort studies are few. In this project, we aim to assess children initially followed as part of The Etiology, Risk Factors, and Interactions of Enteric Infections and Malnutrition and the Consequences for Child Health (MAL-ED) study, where they received frequent measures of anthropometry and laboratory assessments for intestinal pathogens. These children are now of peri-pubertal age--a time period associated with metabolic shifts. We will assess for glucose dysregulation and findings associated with the metabolic syndrome, and we will analyze potential associations between current chronic disease risk findings with early life poor growth and intestinal pathogen carriage rate. As such, we hope to uncover potential targets in early life health to reduce later chronic disease risk.
