Filter by:In this project, the investigators will perform a multicenter randomised controlled trial to determine whether advice to consume a moderate, whole food-based low-carbohydrate high-fat (LCHF) ad libitum diet (CarbCount program) can produce and maintain equal remission rates of type 2 diabetes (T2D) as a nutritionally complete very-low-calorie formula diet followed by a energy-restrictive (i.e., calorie counting) diet (DiRECT principles). Within the principles of each approach, the dietary goals and change will be adjusted according to individual needs/capabilities conducive to long-term adherence. Furthermore, the investigators aim to determine whether the rate of diet-induced remission is reflected in/can be predicted by baseline or diet-induced changes in glucose variability (e.g., time-in-range measured by continuous glucose monitoring) and other factors such as anthropometric changes and genetic susceptibility. Each center will also conduct locally-lead standalone mechanistic research, including analyses of intra-abdominal/hepatic fat accumulation, adipose tissue biopsies and/or measurements of energy metabolism. Additionally, changes in medication use, nutritional status, cardiovascular disease risk, as well as adverse events, will be monitored.
The microbiota is associated with a wide spectrum of diseases including diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. In this study we will investigate if the bacteria F. prausnitzii, which is a part of the human gut microbiota, can improve metabolic parameters in subjects with impaired glucose control.
This study is a prospective cross-sectional study. The investigators enroll participants form the department of endocrinology and of metabolism, China Medical University Hospital. In total, 400 participants , composed of 100 of type 2 diabetes , 100 of pre-DM and 200 healthy participants. The investigators apply tongue diagnosis system, pulse wave analysis, body constitution questionnaires, and nailfold capillaroscopy to assess the differences of TCM diagnosis. After collecting the tongue coating and analyzing the metabolite signals with a flying mass spectrometer, The investigators collect the data to establish metabolite pattern and biomarkers. This study aims to identify the clinical symptoms of DM with TCM diagnostic tools and investigate the pattern difference and treatment for DM. Furtherly, the investigators add mass spectrometer to analyze the metabolites of tongue coating, the investigators propose to establish a metabolite pattern and biomarker to identify important biological indicators of DM.
Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a serious chronic condition and one of the world's fastest growing health problems. The onset of T2DM is gradual, with most individuals progressing through a state of pre-diabetes, which provides an important window of opportunity for the prevention of T2DM and its complications. This project aims to translate the evidence-based diabetes prevention strategies into community setting and utilize mobile health technology to reduce diabetes risks in Hong Kong.
There is an urgent need to engineer targeted physical activity interventions that are effective and scalable for obese adolescents and young adults (AYA) with type 2 diabetes (T2D), who often have very low levels of physical activity. The BEAM Trial is a proposed mobile health (mHealth) intervention that uses behavioral economic-informed financial incentives and text messaging to promote physical activity in AYA with T2D and prediabetes.
The investigators plan to examine whether teaching people at risk for type two diabetes to use self-compassion (orientation to care for oneself during difficult situations) helps them self-manage and increase their physical activity. People at risk for type 2 diabetes will learn about their type 2 diabetes risk and strategies to increase their physical activity, which represents the recommended information that people at risk for type two diabetes should receive. In addition to this, some participants, but not all, will be taught to be self-compassionate in relation to their type two diabetes risk and their efforts to increase their physical activity. The investigators expect that people who receive the additional training about how to be self-compassionate will engage in more physical activity than people who do not and they will do so because of self-compassion's positive effect on aspects of self-management - adaptive reactions and a tendency to use strong self-management skills. This study is important for health promotion because it allows the investigators to determine whether they can improve how they currently help people prevent type 2 diabetes through engaging in physical activity.
There are an estimate 7 million people in the United Kingdom living with pre-diabetes. The increasing number of new cases of pre-diabetes presents a global health concern due to funding implications. The progression from pre-diabetes to overt type 2 diabetes is often characterised by a reduction in insulin secretion (or β-cell dysfunction). Whilst inflammation may contribute to β-cell dysfunction, a complete picture is still lacking. The proposed research will help develop a more complete understanding of the molecules that may trigger β-cell failure, a process that often connects pre-diabetes to overt diabetes. The aims of this project are; 1. Run large-scale proteomics and metabolomics analysis in pre-diabetic individuals to determine possible biomarker molecules. 2. Use measures and / or classifications of insulin resistance and diabetes (i.e. β-cell function and Disposition Index) to establish whether particular metabolic and / or proteomic signatures (aim 1) are associated with the development of pre-diabetes. 3. To determine if the possible metabolite or protein profile changes are associated with the progression or regression of pre-diabetes from baseline (0 month) to the end of the National Diabetes Prevention Programme (NDPP) (9 month).
This study is designed to test whether non-persistent environmental chemicals (PECs) are elevated in people with glucose dysregulation. The primary aim is to measure whether this toxicant burden can be reduced using a dietary and lifestyle modification intervention. The secondary aim is to observe any changes in glucose response pre and post-intervention.
The aim of this study is to evaluate whether there is a change in GDF-15 levels in individuals with prediabetes at the 2nd hour after the first exercise and after a 12-week exercise program with guide-based exercise programs.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether modifying the timing of nutrition support from overnight to daytime enhances sleep quality, preserves circadian rhythms, and improves overall inflammation and cardiometabolic profiles in postoperative patients in the cardiac surgical ICU on enteral nutrition.
