Filter by:The primary objective of STAR01 is to evaluate the performance and safety of the medical device (class IIb) SiPore15™ after a 12-week long treatment in the target population of obese and overweight subjects with prediabetes or newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. The expected performance and safety of the device is based on the safety and efficacy results seen in an earlier First-in-Man (FIM) study. The safety and tolerability of SiPore15™ is based on the well-established and extensive use of food grade silicon dioxide and favorable data from the FIM study. Data on side-effects will be collected for verification of device safety. The study duration is 24 weeks in total, 12 weeks from baseline on investigational medicinal device (IMD) treatment, with additional 12 weeks off treatment. The study population is planned for forty (40) subjects to be enrolled, male and females, age >18 years and fulfilling all inclusion criteria but none of the exclusion criteria.
Study investigates the hypothesis that an exercise programme of steady walking will have larger effects on insulin sensitivity and glycemic control when combined with Acipimox intake prior to each exercise session in people with pre-diabetes. Thirty-four sedentary, overweight/obese people (aged 25-50 years, BMI >28 kg.m-2) with pre-diabetes will be recruited using the same strategy as study 2 and split into two groups (detailed below). Participants will undergo several pre- intervention assessments, followed by a 12-week walking based intervention combined with either Acipimox ingestion or no drug ingestion, pre- each exercise session. Following this, the post-assessment measures will identical to the pre-assessment measures.
Briefly, participants will be assessed for their eligibility for the study using an oral glucose tolerance test, which involves drinking a sugary drink followed by a series of small blood samples. If eligible, participants will be asked to take part in a fitness test and then two trials which will involve walking on a treadmill at a steady pace. Before and after the exercise a small piece of muscle will be taken from their thigh under local anaesthesia, as well as several small blood samples. Muscle muscle samples will be assessed for lipid metabolites.
Higher than average blood sugar (glucose) levels are linked to an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. As such, there is interest in identifying dietary factors that could lower blood glucose to help reduce the number of people with this disease. Findings from some human studies indicate that dairy products, especially a milk protein (whey), may help the control of blood glucose levels. However, there is a need for further studies to confirm these findings in individuals without diabetes but with higher than average blood glucose levels.
The purpose of the trial is to assess the effects of combining regular, generous intakes of high quality protein (with substantial amounts provided from whole eggs and egg whites) with calorie restriction on insulin resistance and weight loss (along with function, body composition, racial disparities, and a number of secondary outcomes) in black and white older adults with prediabetes who are participating in a 4-month intervention. The investigators will compare these effects to the same outcomes with a control group consuming a traditional control regimen of calorie restriction over the same duration.
The goal of this study is to determine the impact of pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes on muscle atrophy during a period of bed rest and recovery of muscle mass, strength, and physical function following bed rest.
This study aims to determine whether the use of Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's) regulate insulin and glucagon secretion, and whether the supplement has any effect on body weight and body composition. Subjects who participate in this study will receive an 8-week supply of supplement. The study supplements will be manufactured by Scientific Living, in Irvine, CA for high dose BCAA and the low dose BCAA is manufactured by Nutribiotic, Lakeport, CA. Timed blood collections will be used to measure how BCAA affect glucose metabolism/insulin sensitivity in human subjects.
Based on our hypothesis that orally administered resistant starch and beta glucan will be fermented into a SCFA pattern high in acetate and that this will lead to beneficial effects on human substrate and energy metabolism, we aim to address the following primary objective: To investigate the effects of an acute administration of inulin/beta glucan in combination with resistant starch on fecal and plasma acetate, as well as on fasting and postprandial substrate and energy metabolism in lean normoglycemic men and obese, prediabetic men.

This study will determine if DNA-based dietary guidelines can improve glucose regulation in pre-diabetic individuals significantly more than standard dietary guidelines following 6 weeks of the intervention. This will be assessed using an oral glucose tolerance test, which is a standard clinical measurement used to assess impaired glucose regulation. Pre-diabetic individuals will be recruited by offering the opportunity to self-assess their risk score for type 2 diabetes using the Leicester Risk Score Questionnaire on the Diabetes United Kingdom website, and they can contact the clinical trial team if they are interested in participating in the trial. They will then be invited for a point of care Hba1c test to determine their suitability for the trial. The point of care Hba1c test is a simple finger prick test to assess glucose regulation. The potential for lifestyle interventions to reduce the progression to type 2 diabetes from pre-diabetic states has been demonstrated in a number of randomised control trials (RCTs) in different countries, with a meta-analysis of RCTs suggesting that lifestyle intervention in high risk subjects can halve the incidence of diabetes. However, they have been expensive and labour intensive, with multiple personal contacts. Furthermore, DNA based dietary advice has shown a greater improvement in fasting glucose measurements in obese individuals compared to standard dietary advice, with the BMI (body mass index) only showing a long-term improvement in the group that received DNA-based dietary advice. The proposed study may be able to show that increased benefits can be obtained by following a DNA-based diet compared to standard dietary advice for individuals with pre-diabetes. Furthermore, the exploratory arm of the study will receive the advice via an app (provided by DnaNudge Ltd), which if effective, would demonstrate a low-cost, widely-distributable method that could be deployed to the general public without requiring individuals to self-identify as pre-diabetic to receive an intervention.
