Filter by:This research is studying how to help increase uptake of and engagement in formal Diabetes Prevention Programs to improve healthy behaviors among adults with pre diabetes to reduce risk of getting diabetes. This project will compare the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) to participating in the DPP program plus two extra pieces (INSPIRA). The 2 additional pieces in the DPP plus program includes getting matched with someone else in the program to provide each other support along with a chance to earn healthy food vouchers. Eligible participants will be randomized to one of the two groups and be asked to participate for approximately 6 months.
The DPPOS AD/ADRD project will address the overarching question: What are the determinants and the nature of cognitive impairment among persons with pre-diabetes (PreD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), who are a high-risk group for cognitive impairment and represent a large fraction of the United States (US) population? This U19 proposal addresses the National Alzheimer's Project Act goal to "prevent, halt, or reverse AD" in the high-risk group of persons with pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes, who represent over half of the population aged 60 years and older in the US.
Broccoli has shown to normalise elevated blood sugars when eaten over long period of time. Individuals with pre-diabetes have higher than normal blood sugar levels. In this study, investigators are trying to understand how broccoli, when eaten as a soup, affects blood sugar levels in individuals with pre-diabetes.
The "Bialystok Exercise Study in Diabetes" (BESD), is an exercise intervention study, conducted by the Department of Endocrinology, Diabetology and Internal Medicine and Clinical Research Centre of the Medical University of Bialystok. In the project, sedentary males at different stages of dysglycemia living in the city of Bialystok participate in three months of an exercise intervention consisting of supervised training sessions at a local fitness centre. The aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness of the exercise intervention in patients at different stages of dysglycemia progression, including type 2 diabetes and prediabetes and compare the response between groups.
Evaluation of the safety and effects on glycemic control of medical food formulation WBF-0031 in subjects with abnormal glucose control.
It is well known that the Type 2 diabetes and vascular disease are preceded by over ten years by metabolic dysfunction and anatomic changes that can be quantified. In order to develop effective preventive strategies and reduce the cost burden to the health care system, recognition of the earliest pathophysiology of Type 2 diabetes and vascular disease is clinically relevant. The interval retrospective evaluation of data from patient records, reflect the effectiveness of the various treatments implemented in clinical practice. Prevalence of "prediabetes" among American adults is estimated to be ~84 million, or one out of three Americans. Over a 5-7 year period approximately one third of these prediabetic individuals will progress to type 2 diabetes. Prediabetes is a heterogenous group comprised of individuals with impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), and increased A1c (5.7-6.4%). Although different pathophysiologies are present in individuals with IFG and IGT, their conversion rate to overt type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is similar. Insulin resistance is a common causal feature of many of the pathophysiologic mechanisms linking macrovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Because hyperglycemia is the major factor responsible for the development of microvascular complications, it logically follows that prevention of progression of prediabetes to overt diabetes should retard/prevent the development of the microvascular complications. From the measurement of plasma glucose, insulin, and c-peptide levels during the oral glucose tolerance test, one can derive measures of the two core defects responsible for the development of T2DM, i.e. insulin resistance and beta cell dysfunction as well as the degree of dysglycemia. By combining a standard medical evaluation with the evaluation of cardiovascular biomarkers, patients at intermediate risk of vascular disease can be identified. In these patients, carotid intima media thickness (IMT) and carotid plaque evaluation is offered to attempt to clarify risk. The hypothesis of this observational study is that the characterization of the physiology and anatomy of patients at risk of developing type 2 diabetes and/or cardiovascular disease can stratify risk of developing disease and direct treatment strategies tailored to the identified physiologic defect, leading to improvements in the delay or prevention of disease.
A Prospective Double-Blinded, Placebo Controlled, Randomized Trial comparing a single dose of Vitamin D (Colecalciferol) 300.00UI to placebo on patients with insulin resistance. Primary Outcome: Blood glucose and homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-R) after 90 days. Study hypothesis: Vitamin D treatment may improve insulin resistance and decrease glucose level, since there is an association between hypovitaminosis D and increased insulin resistance.
