Filter by:Aging significantly impacts overall health and is a risk factor for developing diabetes. An estimated 50% of U.S. adults aged ≥65 years were reported to have prediabetes (defined as having a fasting glucose concentration of 100-125 mg/dl) in 2005-2008. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has stated that in the United States, 88 million people (one in every 3 Americans) are currently classified as prediabetic, emphasizing the importance of preventative measures and early intervention to manage and reduce the risk of progression to diabetes. Additionally, an estimated 430 million individuals worldwide are expected to have prediabetes by 2030. Dietary supplementation of polyamines, spermidine in particular, have been touted to have beneficial health effects such as increasing life span and mitigating impacts of aging. Spermidine and spermine are polyamines that are being increasingly investigated for their ability to slow the aging process by inducing autophagy. Nevertheless, literature on these topics is scarce and results from trials have been inconclusive; therefore further research is needed. The novel nutraceutical KH-1, comprised of spermidine, spermidine derivatives and probiotics, is examined in this trial of healthy volunteers aged 18 years or over. This study evaluates KH-1 for its safety and its effect on glucose homeostasis. This study measures the effects of KH-1 on biomarkers for inflammation, cardiovascular disease, insulin sensitivity, and those important for autophagy. A qualitative assessment of the effect of KH-1 on well-being is also examined.
Increasing attention has been paid to meals with unusual characteristics that are consumed on a semi-regular basis (e.g., "tailgating," pizza buffets). The purpose of this study is to describe the acute cardiometabolic effects of a cinema-style meal rich in refined sugar, total carbohydrate, and moderate in fat (i.e., soda, popcorn, candy).
This is a clinical trial that includes a run-in period, a 90 day micro-randomized trial, and a 90-day observational period. The goal of this study is to evaluate whether providing paired real time glycemic and health behavior data in a smartphone app leads to better glycemic control among adolescents and young adults with T2D. Glycemic control will be monitored using Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM), and health behavior data will be collected via a Fitbit activity tracker and a research app (Healthmine). Participants will be prompted to view and reflect on glycemic trends and health behavior data (Fitbit data, logging of diet and medication adherence) during the 90-day micro-randomized trial period, then observed for ongoing use of the Healthmine app and engagement with CGM in the following 90-day observation period.
Emerging evidence suggests that following a 'carbohydrate-last meal pattern', wherein foods rich in protein, fat, fiber, and/or polyphenols are consumed before sources of simple carbohydrate (CHO) in a meal, results in reduced postprandial glycaemic responses than the reverse food order or a co-ingestion pattern. This effect has been observed across the spectrum of glucose tolerance, from patients with diabetes to individuals with normal glucose tolerance (Kuwata et al., 2016; Nishino et al., 2018; Lu et al., 2019; Sun et al., 2020). Furthermore, reduced glucose excursions have been linked to decreased subsequent hunger and energy intake (Lu et al., 2019; Wyatt et al., 2021). However, to date, no studies on food intake sequence have targeted athletes, despite their increased CHO demands (Thomas et al., 2016) which could expose them to repeated episodes of hyperglycaemia and high glycaemic variability, known to increase the risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes and all-cause mortality (Loader et al., 2015; Cavero-Redondo et al., 2017; Faerch et al., 2018). Additionally, athletes often face pressure to meet body composition standards and may benefit from strategies that enhance satiety and craving control. Finally, there is reason to believe that better glycaemic control could lead to improved performance, given that enhancements in endurance activities have been observed with a low-glycemic-index diet compared to a high-glycemic-index diet (Heung-Sang Wong et al., 2017). Therefore, this randomised crossover trial is part of a wider project which seeks to explore the impact of food intake sequence on metabolic health and performance in athletes. Specifically, this trial aims to investigate the acute, postprandial metabolic and appetite responses to consuming an identical meal in two intake sequences (CHO-last versus CHO-first) in athletes, while in the resting state.
Background : Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is associated with an increased risk of fractures. The mechanisms accounting for this bone fragility are not yet fully understood. As T1D is often diagnosed in childhood or early adulthood, the lower bone mineral density (BMD) and deteriorated bone microarchitecture observed in T1D may reflect changes in the bone that occurred before or at the time of peak bone mass achievement. There is a lack of high-quality prospective studies to determine whether adults with T1D continue to lose BMD or deteriorate bone quality compared with controls. Moreover, while chronic hyperglycemia is a risk factor for fracture in T1D, it is unknown if better glycemic control affects bone outcomes. This prospective multicenter cohort study aims: (1) To compare the changes in the following outcomes over 4 years in adults with T1D and controls without diabetes of similar age, sex and body-mass index distribution: BMD by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at the femoral neck, hip, spine, and radius, trabecular bone score (TBS) by DXA, and serum biochemical markers of bone turnover (BTMs); (2) To evaluate whether long-term glycemic control or the presence of a microvascular complication are independent predictors of the changes in BMD and TBS in people with T1D.
BACKGROUND GLP1 booster (GB) was designed to stimulate the endogenous production of GLP1, which in turn releases insulin, controls blood glucose level, suppresses appetite and thus helps people lose weight. PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to assess several clinical endpoints and questionnaires in healthy volunteers taking the new GB formula. SCOPE The scope of this protocol covers the non-clinical portion as well as the assessment of several clinical endpoints and questionnaires. In brief, the non-clinical design will be an open-label study involving volunteers taking GB everyday for 12 weeks. Data analysis will involve measuring the clinical endpoints across the group at different timepoints.
The rare sugar D-Allulose, when consumed in a drink before eating has been shown to reduce the blood glucose response to high carbohydrate drinks or meals in people who are healthy, or have elevated fasting blood glucose concentration. However, the effectiveness of D-allulose to suppress blood glucose concentration when added into carbohydrate containing food products has not been previously reported and as the potential use of allulose is as a sucrose replacer in foods, rather than drinks, it is important that effects and efficacy are tested in this format. The study aimed to extend understanding of the acute effects of D-allulose consumption in humans by testing whether post-eating blood glucose concentration can be modified by the presence of D-allulose in a high carbohydrate breakfast and collecting data on any adverse gastrointestinal effects of consuming D-allulose.
The purpose of this study is to contribute to current research regarding the feasibility and accuracy of CGM in the hospital setting for both the medical and cardiovascular intensive care (ICU) patient populations.
This retrospective cohort study of patients classified by the blood glucose level after reperfusion in liver transplantation repicient. Our object is to investigate whether controlling BG levels within the optimal range during neohepatic phase is associated with a reduction of AKI incidence. Furthermore, severe AKI, chronic kidney disease (CKD), major adverse cardiac event (MACE) and mortality were also investigated.
TITLE: How GLP-1 Analogues prevent steroid-induced diabetes (The GAPSID Study) DESIGN: A double-blind study evaluating how GLP-1 analogues, compared with metformin, prevent hyperglycaemia in response to a 7-day course of dexamethasone (DEX) 6 mg once daily. This is a mechanistic experimental medicine study. AIMS: To evaluate the mechanisms by which GLP-1 analogues reduce steroid-induced hyperglycaemia compared to metformin. OUTCOME MEASURES: - Primary: Glucose tolerance in response to standardised mixed meal test (MMT) lasting for 240 minutes, measured in all participants at baseline and on day 7 DEX. - Secondary: Indices of insulin resistance (M-value), beta-cell function (acute insulin response to glucose) and disposition, as measured by a combined IV glucose tolerance test and hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamp, performed at baseline and on day 7 DEX. - Exploratory: Tissue specific changes in adipose AMPK determined from adipose and muscle biopsies, taken from a subset of approximately 8 individuals in each group. ELIGIBILITY: People living with pre-diabetes or lifestyle controlled diabetes STUDY DURATION: This study will take place over 3 weeks for each partcipant. Study procedures include 10 days of baseline continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) followed by 7 days of dexamethasone with GLP-1, metformin or placebo. Participants will attend a follow-up visit 3-5 days after completing the 7-day course of study drug. The study will run over a period of 3 years. ANTICIPATED IMPACT: Mechanistic evidence for the use of GLP-1 analogues, compared with metformin, in the treatment of steroid-induced diabetes.
