Filter by:The investigators are studying how to help people with prediabetes (Pre-DM) and obesity. The goal is to use new and affordable treatments to bring blood sugar levels back to normal and help participants to lose weight. The investigators also want to reduce participants risk of heart problems. The study team will look at how these treatments affect metabolism and other body functions to help find new ways to treat diabetes and obesity in the future.
A randomised, double blind, placebo controlled parallel study to examine the effects of a dose range of PeptiControl, a plant-based ingredient, in pre-diabetic males and females.
The aim of this multicenter controlled randomized trial is to assess the effectiveness of Brazilian Diabetes Prevention Program (face-to-face or e-health) in incidence of T2D with, at least, 1590 adults at high risk of developing T2D during 3-yr follow-up. Our primary outcomes are the incidence of T2D, MVPA (min/week), prevalence of physical inactivity, quality of life, BALANCE DI, CDHI, body weight (kg), and biomarkers of glycemia. In addition, social, cultural, educational and geographical factors at community levels will also be analyzed throughout the follow-up to verify their association with the incidence of T2D.
This pilot and feasibility study aims to assess the effectiveness of a nutrition education intervention using the Cooking Matters for Adults Curriculum (SNAP-Ed). The study compares this standard curriculum with an enhanced version that includes the same curriculum but has additional components, incorporating specific information related to type 2 diabetes. Additionally, participants in the enhanced group will receive continuous glucose monitors to wear during the study for 10 days. The primary outcomes of the study include evaluating the acceptability of the intervention, and the feasibility of conducting the intervention at the UNLV Nutrition Center. The investigators will also assess participants' Knowledge, Attitudes, and Intentions regarding produce consumption. Alongside feasibility and acceptability, the study aims to explore the preliminary effectiveness of the intervention in increasing fruit and vegetable consumption, reducing HbA1c, managing cardiometabolic risk, and improving gut microbiome composition and diversity among participants in the program. The investigators will also assess changes in other lifestyle behaviors from baseline to post-intervention (6 weeks) (sleep, stress, physical activity, and sedentary behavior).
This study will focus on changes in blood sugar in response to tasting different types of sweeteners using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology.
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of active opportunistic screening using point-of-care capillary Hemoglobin-A1c (POC-cHbA1c) testing, compared to venous HbA1c (vHbA1c) testing, in improving detection of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among at-risk primary care patients. Design: Pragmatic cluster randomized controlled trial. Setting: 8 public primary care clinics in Hong Kong. Participants: A minimum of 776 patients (97 per clinic) who have ≥1 risk factor for T2DM, but no known diagnosis of DM or DM screening in the past 12 months. Intervention: Participants at intervention clinics (n=4) will be offered free POC-cHbA1c testing on-site, immediately informed of test results and DM risk, and scheduled for confirmatory oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) if screened positive (i.e. HbA1c≥5.6%). Participants at control clinics will be offered free vHbA1c testing scheduled on a separate day, informed of test results and DM risk via phone, and scheduled for confirmatory OGTT if screened positive. Main outcome measures: Primary outcomes are uptake rate of POC-cHbA1c versus vHba1c testing, and difference in proportion of T2DM detected between intervention and control groups. Secondary outcomes include number-needed-to-screen to detect one more T2DM case. Data analysis: Participants' characteristics and test uptake rates will be summarized by descriptive statistics. Difference in the proportion of T2DM detected between groups will be compared using Chi-squared test. Number-needed-to screen to identify one additional patient with DM will be calculated. Expected results: A greater proportion of T2DM patients will be detected by POC-cHbA1c than vHbA1c due to a higher screening test uptake rate among the studied population.
The clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture on weight loss and changes of glucose and lipid metabolism in obese adults with pre-diabetes.
The goal of this observational study is to investigate changes in nocturnal and postprandial glucose and glycogen metabolism in individuals with impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance compared to healthy, non-diabetic, overweight participants (15 per group). In addition, it will be investigated if reducing gluconeogenesis, by using the challenge agent Acipimox, in people with prediabetes can increase glucose tolerance and fat oxidation by increased reliance on hepatic glycogen. The main questions this project aims to answer are: - whether there are differences in nocturnal glucose/glycogen metabolism in individuals with impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance and healthy overweight controls. - whether there are differences in postprandial glucose/glycogen metabolism in individuals with impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance and healthy overweight controls. Participants will visit the university for a screening visit and a visit with overnight stay for measurements of gluconeogenesis, glycogen, and substrate oxidation. A subgroup will receive [18F]-FDG to assess tissue-specific postprandial glucose uptake. Thereafter, 20 prediabetic individuals will follow a 4-day treatment with acipimox to decrease gluconeogenesis, followed by a second overnight visit with similar measurements as mentioned for the first visit.
The purpose of the current study is to examine the effects of a dietary supplement containing plant derived phenolics at two different dose levels in otherwise generally healthy adults with risk factors (high BMI at dyslipidemia and/or pre-diabetes) for body fat composition. The primary hypothesis is that supplementation with plant derived phenolics will decrease body fat composition compared to placebo.
The main clinical study objective is to confirm the accuracy of the Glyconics-DS spectrometer when used in its intended medical purpose population, i.e., in individuals with unknown diabetes risk. Additionally, this investigation will serve as a pivotal performance evaluation for the associated software for correct delivery of the algorithm-based analysis of the individual diabetes risk. The study will be considered positive if the backend delivery of the chemometrics output is performed correctly as per the cloud-based analysis and its delivery represents the essential medical software to be evaluated in this investigation. The 'true' diabetes risk will be contrasted against values of an internal biomarker indicative of glycaemia, HbA1c, as measured based on standardised, certified methodology.
