Modern living is associated with an epidemic of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Sleep disturbances such as insomnia or frequent awakenings are strong risk factors for T2DM with several studies indicating a central role of melatonin. Additionally, a certain single nucleotide polymorphism in the melatonin receptor gene, MTNR1B rs10830963, with an allele frequency of 30 %, is associated with increased fasting plasma glucose and T2DM. Due to treatment of, among other things, insomnia, the use of melatonin is increasing rapidly in Denmark with a 100-fold increase from 2007-2012 in children and adolescents. No previous studies have thoroughly assessed changes in glucose and fatty acid metabolism after 3 months of melatonin treatment in patients with T2DM.
Background: The relationship between the appearance of insulin resistance phenomena and insufficient or poor-quality sleep is scientifically documented. Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of an intervention based on behavioural techniques on sleep in the nursing consultation in the Primary Care setting to improve the level of HbA1c in patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus 2 (DM2) or prediabetes. Hypothesis: Patients diagnosed with DM2 or prediabetes with poor sleep quality would improve their HbA1c levels after an intervention on healthier sleep hygiene practices. Sleeping 6 or less hours in adults diagnosed with DM2 or prediabetes would be related to worse metabolic control results. Patients diagnosed with DM2 or prediabetes who would value their sleep as poor quality would have poorer metabolic control. Methodology: Design: Not masked randomized clinical trial. Target population: Patients diagnosed up to the time of DM2 (E11) or prediabetes (R73, R73.9) with age over 18 attending the chronic nurses' follow-up visits of the Basic Health Area of Balaguer in the time range from November 2017 to December 2018. Determinations: Dependent variables: Glycemia and HbA1c. Independent variables: Sex, age, value of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), declared hours of sleep, sleep efficiency, body mass index (BMI), pharmacologic antidiabetic treatment, changes in it, changes in diet, physical exercise and sleep hygiene. Statistical analysis: Analysis of the comparability of the groups and calculation of the confidence interval of the difference in the glycaemic values and HbA1c at the end of the follow-up, with respect to the initiation within the intervention group and within the control, and control group with respect to the group intervention.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of interrupting prolong sedentary behavior with interval exercise on postprandial metabolism following a high fat glucose tolerance test.
The growing prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a major public health problem. Recent studies have clearly established that the gut microbiota plays a key role in the investigator's propensity to develop obesity and associated metabolic health disorders. The gut microbiota compositions plays a decisive role in glucose metabolism and the chronic inflammatory state associated with insulin resistance. Consuming prebiotic rich diet, including polyphenol and inulin rich food could help modulate favorably the gut microbiota which could lead to a reduction of endotoxemia and beneficial metabolic health effects.
The proposed randomized controlled trial will test the effect of a low-carbohydrate diet on hemoglobin A1c among individuals with elevated hemoglobin A1c that are within the range of prediabetes or diabetes. Results may provide evidence about the role of carbohydrate restriction in individuals with or at high risk of type 2 diabetes.
Patients with diabetes type 1 with poor glycemic control will be switched to insulin pump and FGM system (Flash Glucose Monitoring) during 6 months, correlated to the hypothesis that they could benefit from this intervention by being reengaged in diabetes self-management.
The aim of the study is to examine the health benefits of adding a concept in basic carbohydrate counting (BCC) to the routine outpatient nutritional education for adult patients with type 2 diabetes. The study hypothesis is that training and education in the BCC concept will improve glycaemic control either by reducing HbA1c or the average plasma glucose variability more than offering the routine dietary care as a stand-alone dietary treatment.
The study is designed to evaluate two different dietitian-led self-management approaches in carbohydrate counting compared to routine dietary care (control) on glycaemic control in adult patients with type 1 diabetes: 1. The basic carbohydrate counting concept aims at improving carbohydrate counting accuracy and day-to-day consistency of carbohydrate intake (the BCC intervention) 2. The advanced carbohydrate counting concept aims at improving prandial insulin dose accuracy using an automated bolus calculator (the ABC-ACC intervention) The main hypothesis is that structured training and education in either the BCC concept or the ABC-ACC concept will reduce HbA1c or the average glucose variability more than routine dietary education.
Wholegrain fibre is known to affect on the gut health, but also may cause intestinal discomfort. Thus, many individuals may avoid the consumption of whole grain cereals in spite of their known health benefits, and may in this regard consume more restricted diets. In the preset study the aim was to technologically modify the cereal fibres to improve its usability and to maintain its health beneficial properties. The objective was to investigate intestinal fermentation of grain dietary fibre and associated effects on gut-mediated metabolic health, such as immunological health and adipose tissue function. The hypothesis was that whole grain products maintain their original beneficial health effects and may be better tolerable when the bran is technologically modified. Additionally, it was hypothesized that gut-mediated bioavailability of plant cell wall compounds and their metabolites affect the metabolic health through their immunomodulatory effects.
