Filter by:In this trial, the investigational product , the active ingredients which has been proven to reduce postprandial glucose in healthy and diabetic patients, will be tested. The primary aim of this clinical study is to evaluate the possibility of the investigational product to reduce the rise of postprandial glucose AUC level in overweight Caucasian subjects with normal to prediabetic biomarkers (IFG/HbA1C), without prompting a disproportionate rise in insulin levels.
The Born in Guangzhou Cohort Study (BIGCS) was established to investigate the short- and long-term effects of exposure in early life on health consequences in Guangzhou, China. Data are collected regarding environmental, occupational and lifestyle exposures as well as health outcomes in later life. Biological samples including blood and tissue samples are also collected from the participants.
The study aims to assess whether a nutritional drink taken before conception and continuing through pregnancy, assists in the maintenance of healthy glucose metabolism in the mother and promotes offspring health.
Poor glycemic control in critically ill patients can increase their mortality, while safe and efficient glucose control is laborious and time-consuming. The Space GlucoseControl which is installed with eMPC(enhanced Model Predictive Control) can get the blood glucose target range safely and effectively through regulating insulin dose rate. This study is a random controlled trial involving the patients with mechanical ventilation in intensive care unit in order to evaluate the difference of safety and efficacy of blood glucose control between SGC directed and conventional treatment. At last, the trial results can determine whether the Space GlucoseControl can control blood glucose safely and effectively in the patients with mechanical ventilation in intensive care units.
The purpose of this study is to determine which of the Ethiopian honeys slowly/rapidly raise the blood glucose level.
Consumption of carbohydrate containing foods or sugary drinks brings about changes to the blood glucose levels. After a meal or drink, blood glucose rises until it reaches a peak concentration usually after 30 minutes. When the body senses the increase in blood glucose, a hormonal process involving insulin takes place to ensure that the glucose is taken up from the blood for storage and where it is needed for energy in the body. This process then brings about a decrease in the concentration of glucose until it reaches approximately the starting concentration. The original concentration of glucose is attained approximately 2 hours after eating or drinking a carbohydrate food or sugary drink respectively in healthy people. Different carbohydrates and sugary drinks have different effects on blood glucose response depending on the amount as well as the type of carbohydrate. Those that give rise to a high glucose response compared to a reference carbohydrate (usually glucose) are said to be high glycaemic index (GI) foods and those with a lower glucose response compared to a reference carbohydrate (usually glucose) are said to be low glycaemic index (GI) foods. Research has shown that diets that give rise to a high glucose response are associated with a number of abnormalities like increased risk of metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome mostly comprises of insulin resistance and glucose intolerance which gives an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. It also gives rise to other conditions like high blood pressure (arterial hypertension), elevated blood insulin levels (hyper-insulinemia), elevated amounts of fat in the liver (fatty hepatosis) and elevated amounts of lipids in the blood (dyslipidemia). After type 2 diabetes become clinically apparent, the risk of cardiovascular disease also rises. Research has also shown that foods/drinks which raise blood glucose levels gradually (low GI) rather than rapidly (high GI) have health benefits which include reducing the risk of metabolic syndrome. Laboratory studies have shown that polyphenols found in fruits, vegetables and plant based foods have a positive effect on carbohydrate metabolism and can lower the blood glucose levels. This research will determine whether the presence of polyphenols in the diet has any lowering effect on the blood glucose levels and hence the glycaemic index of foods. This will be determined by asking volunteers to consume commercially available food supplements together with white bread and then determining the glycaemic response. The blood glucose response of bread will be determined initially as a control reference. All will be consumed in random order. Analysis will be done by measuring blood glucose response after consumption of the control reference meal and the test meal containing polyphenols and then determining the incremental area under the glucose curve. POMEGRANATE AND OLIVE STUDIES WILL BE TREATED SEPARATELY FOR PURPOSES OF PUBLISHING RESULTS. EACH STUDY WILL AIM TO HAVE AT LEAST 16 PARTICIPANTS.
Emergency Department (ED) patients with severe hyperglycemia will be randomized to two treatment goals: discharge glucose less than 600 mg/dL or less than 350 mg/dL. Randomization is stratified by whether the chief complaint is "High Blood Sugar" in the electronic medical record or other.
The purpose of this study is to develop and test modified milk protein products to determine the effects of amino acids on food intake, satiety, insulin secretion and glucose control by insulin-independent action in healthy adults.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of a healthy-habits intervention tailored to the cultural, economical and social context of the target population in cardiometabolic parameters, for a population with no access to specialized health services. The intervention was designed considering environmental and economic context like availability of food and physical activity spaces; cultural factors like social and culinary traditions; individual food preferences. It encompass a selected set of behavioral and nutritional strategies aiming to achieve control of metabolic disorders involved and to reduce the risk for diabetes. The investigators' study is a nine-month clinical intervention with randomized allocation, and parallel assignment. For the first six months, the participants in the control group will receive the treatment from the primary care service by the Health Minister as implemented by the local health center, and for the intervention group participants will receive a treatment to improve the quality of the diet and promote the practice of physical activity. Both groups will be reevaluated at third, sixth and ninth-months follow-up. The physician and the nutritionist of the study will be give the recommendations for diet and advice on exercise, mainly by suggesting moderate-intensity activity, such as brisk walks for at least 150 minutes/week.
Primary research question: What is the effect of indoor rowing, under the ideal circumstances of a laboratory setting, on glucose control in adults with impaired glucose control? Secondary research question: Is it possible to develop a full-scale study of the benefits of indoor rowing under the usual circumstances of a community setting? Why? It is good practice to conduct a small pilot study before embarking on an expensive full-scale study. What? Around 150 minutes of aerobic exercise and around 150 minutes of resistance exercise per week are necessary to meet prevailing recommendations for adults with impaired glucose control. Around 120 minutes of indoor rowing per week might be a less time-consuming alternative to prevailing recommendations because indoor rowing involves a combination of aerobic and resistance exercise. Who? Twenty men and postmenopausal women aged 45-65 years with impaired glucose regulation, such as those with type 2 diabetes. Eligible volunteers will not have smoked in the last year, will not have exercised regularly in the last six months, and will not be taking any form of diabetes medication other than metformin. Eligible volunteers will have stable weight and a body mass index of 25-40. Where and how? Before and after the exercise intervention, glucose control (postprandial blood glucose concentrations) will be assessed at Leicester Diabetes Centre and cardiac function (MRI) will be assessed at Glenfield Hospital. During the exercise intervention, participants will use an indoor rower three times per week for 12 weeks at Leicester Diabetes Centre. Participants will be taught how to row correctly and the duration and intensity will gradually increase. In order to inform the design of a full-scale trial, recruitment rate will be assessed, adherence will be monitored, and a third party will interview participants to find out if the intervention and assessments are feasible and acceptable.
