Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the short-term effect of a nutritional program consisting of a yerba mate supplement, fiber supplement, and intermittent fasting on glycemic variability in men and women with risk factors for impaired fasting glucose.
This study will address the following aims: Aim 1: Design a family-centered whole foods diet adapted from the 2020-2025 DGA framework for 8-12 families that include an index parent (25-59 years) with medically managed prediabetes and their biological offspring (6-17 years). Aim 2: Test the feasibility, acceptability, enrollment, retention, and completion rates of a 2-week family-centered whole foods-based diet for 8-12 families that include an index parent (25-59 years) with medically managed prediabetes and their biological offspring 6-17 years. Aim 3: Estimate and compare differences in baseline and 2-week body mass change (e.g., BMI, BMI percentiles and Z-scores, waist circumference) and diet quality for the index parent and their enrolled biological offspring.
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theories assert that body constitution and meridian energy are the foundations for disease prevention. However, few studies have incorporated TCM concepts into risk factors. This study aimed to examine the association between body constitution and meridian energy in individuals with prediabetes. We conducted a matched case-control study that included 60 individuals with prediabetes. Finally, the reseachers have found that body constitution may be a risk factor fpr progression to type 2 diabetes mellitus in individuals with prediabetes.
Screening for the risk factors of type 2 diabetes is a part of the primary prevention approach. Pre-diabetes is one of the modifiable risk factors; however, it remains under-diagnosed. Our aim was to analyse the attitudes of general practitioners in Lorraine towards prediabetes
The objective of this study is to assess and compare the effects of usual diets containing lean beef vs. lean poultry on pancreatic beta-cell responses in men and women with prediabetes.
The aim of the study is to explore the effect of a low-calorie diet rich in protein (with a content of 35% of the total calories of the diet), mostly coming from animal sources (75% of total protein), compared to a hypocaloric diet rich in protein (with a content of 35% of the total calories of the diet), mostly coming from plant sources (75% of total proteins), in subjects with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes and overweight or obesity, on body composition, glucose and lipid metabolisms, after 6 months of intervention. To achieve the objective, a nutritional intervention study is carried out by randomizing participants to: a) a hypocaloric and high-protein diet (35% of total calories), mostly of them coming from animal sources (75% of total protein); b) a hypocaloric and high-protein diet (35% of total calories), mostly of them coming from plant sources (75% of total protein). The study has a total duration of 6 months and include the assessment of clinical, anthropometric, biochemical and lifestyle parameters, at the beginning of the study and after 3 and 6 months of intervention.
This study will examine the feasibility and acceptability of a family-oriented augmentation of the Diabetes Prevention Program lifestyle intervention (DPP), called the Family DPP. It will also preliminarily examine adult and child health and health behavior outcomes. The DPP is a 12-month, group-based lifestyle intervention for adults at high-risk for type 2 diabetes, in which adult participants learn skills and strategies to achieve the program's goals of 5% weight loss and 150 minutes/week of moderate-vigorous physical activity. The Family DPP will consist of all elements of the evidence-based DPP, along with augmentations including additional child-focused sessions in which adult participants will learn about principles and strategies for promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors in children, ages 5 through 12 years. Children may participate in certain child-focused sessions, too. The non-randomized pilot feasibility study will consists of 2 arms/groups: 1) the concurrent "control" group, consisting of adults who are enrolled in the DPP; and 2) the "intervention" arm, in which the adult participants will engage in the Family DPP (and children may participate in certain aspects of the Family DPP focused on children). The study will recruit 10-15 adult-child dyads, for the "intervention" groups, and 10-15 adults for the concurrent control group. In addition to data collected from adult participants as a routine part of the DPP, the study will examine additional adult health behaviors and health outcomes and child health outcomes (change in body mass index z-score) and health behaviors at baseline, 6 months and 12 months (program end) among participants in the "intervention" group.
This feasibility study seeks to develop and pilot test Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy as a possible treatment for people with prediabetes.
The aim of this project is to use the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, Sustainment (EPIS) framework to collect pilot data on the implementation of a Diabetes Prevention Program-like intervention in the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program.
The study will investigate the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of beta-alanine supplementation in adults with overweight or obesity. Beta-alanine is a widely used dietary supplement that can increase the amount of carnosine in skeletal muscle. Both carnosine and beta-alanine occur naturally in animal food products and previous research shows that supplementation with beta-alanine leads to an improvement in exercise performance; more recently, the present investigators have shown that increasing carnosine can also help to improve cardiometabolic health, detoxify skeletal muscle, and improve glucose (sugar) uptake into muscle cells. The investigators will recruit 30 participants (15 per arm) with overweight or obesity who meet the study criteria (this accounts for up to 20% attrition - a minimum of 12 participants per arm). Those who are eligible will be required to receive three short telephone calls and attend three laboratory sessions. Participants will be randomised to receive either beta-alanine or placebo (an inactive sugar pill) for the 3-month study period. To see whether beta-alanine supplementation is feasible in this population the investigators will measure recruitment, adherence (how well people can stick to the supplement regime), the number and nature of side effects, and blinding to the intervention. Markers of cardiac function, glycaemic control, and metabolic health will also be explored. All measurements will take place before and after a 3-month supplementation period. This will provide us with novel information of the role of beta-alanine and carnosine in cardiometabolic health; and will aid in the planning of a larger randomised controlled trial to assess the efficacy of beta-alanine supplementation as a therapeutic strategy.
