Filter by:This is a multisite clinical trial of healthy lifestyle programs for middle-to-older-aged adults (50 -74 years) to improve their weight and, therefore, reduce risk for chronic disease. This study will investigate whether a proven, self-directed video-based lifestyle program can be significantly enhanced with the assistance of a coach via videoconference or phone to help people as they adopt healthy eating and exercise behaviors. Additionally, the study will examine what factors might explain why some people achieve better outcomes than others. Understanding this can help to tailor the program to an individual for personalized care in the future. Importantly, this study aims to demonstrate how readily a digital lifestyle program, with or without remote coaching, can be seamlessly delivered to patients at home via the patient portal of their electronic health record. This practical use of existing telehealth tools could be a feasible and effective means to offer behavioral treatments during routine medical care.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a drug called semaglutide and to see whether it can reduce IHTG. IHTG will be measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI; an MRI machine contains a powerful magnet that uses simple radio waves to take pictures of organs). Semaglutide (brand name Ozempic®) is a drug that is used to treat people who have diabetes; it also causes weight loss and may provide some protection against cardiovascular disease and diabetes. In PLWH, the use of semaglutide to reduce weight and the level of IHTG are experimental.
Purpose Phototherapy has an array of potential benefits in human health. The effects of a non-transdermal Fos Biomedical product (which utilizes the concept of phototherapy) on diabetes risk factors and sleep quality in people at risk for type 2 diabetes are unclear. Proposed is a single-blind randomized crossover placebo-controlled trial to assess the impact of daily use of the Fos Biomedical product for a 12-week period on cardio-metabolic risk factors and self-reported sleep quality among adults at risk for type 2 diabetes. Specific Aims - To determine the effects of the use of the Fos Biomedical product daily for 12 weeks, as compared to placebo patch, on glycemic control in adults at risk for type 2 diabetes. Specifically, to show that the use of the Fos Biomedical product for 12 weeks, as compared to placebo patch, will improve glycated hemoglobin in adults at risk for type 2 diabetes. - To assess the effects of the use of the Fos Biomedical product, versus placebo patch, for a 12-week period on insulin sensitivity, serum lipids, C-reactive protein, anthropometric measures, self-reported sleep quality, and endothelial function in adults at risk for type 2 diabetes. Specifically, to show clinically meaningful improvement or neutral effects in insulin sensitivity, serum lipids, C-reactive protein, anthropometric measures, self-reported sleep quality, and endothelial function in adults at risk for type 2 diabetes. - To assess the impact of Fos Biomedical product on liver function and kidney function in adults at risk for type 2 diabetes Hypotheses - Daily use of the Fos Biomedical product for 12 weeks will improve glycated hemoglobin in adults at risk for type 2 diabetes. - Daily use of the Fos Biomedical product for 12 weeks will improve or have neutral effects on insulin sensitivity, serum lipids, C-reactive protein, anthropometric measures, self-reported sleep quality and endothelial function in adults at risk for type 2 diabetes. - The use of the Fos Biomedical product will have no clinically meaningful adverse effects on liver function and kidney function in adults at risk for type 2 diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to promote healthy weight loss among African American women, age 30 or older, who are pre-diabetic and/or have high blood pressure and who live, work, or worship in select rural communities throughout Alabama and Mississippi. The goal of the study is to help reduce the burden of obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure for these women and to collect information on the reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, maintenance, and cost effectiveness of our two evidence-base weight loss programs.
This trial will investigate whether a powdered fibre mix helps maintain healthy blood glucose levels in participants with pre-diabetes, where high blood sugar is a risk of diabetes.
More than 84 million - or 1 out of every 3 U.S. adults - have prediabetes, a condition that if not treated often leads to type 2 diabetes within five years. Average medical expenditures among diabetics are about 2.3 times higher than expenditures for people without diabetes. Physical inactivity and elevated body mass index (BMI) are major risk factors for the disease. Sedentary behavior is becoming increasingly prevalent with the growth of a 'work from home' culture, most recently driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. Cross-sectional epidemiologic data report significant associations between high amounts of sedentary (sitting) time and prevalent cardiovascular disease and diabetes. In our pilot study of 15 subjects with sedentary office jobs, 6 months of sit-stand desk use resulted in a 23% improvement in insulin resistance, most substantial in those who decreased daily sitting by over 90 minutes/day. Additional improvements in vascular endothelial function and triglyceride levels were seen without any change in exercise activity, step counts, or body weight. These findings not only corroborate epidemiologic findings on this topic but suggest causality and warrant a randomized control trial. The investigators hypothesize that adult subjects at-risk for diabetes will improve insulin sensitivity, metabolic and vascular (endothelial) health with a sit-stand desk intervention at work (whether in the office or at home), in the context of a randomized, controlled trial. The investigators will randomize 198 sedentary office workers with a BMI≥25 at risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus in a 1:1:1 ratio of three groups: (a) sit-stand desk intervention targeting 2 hours standing per day; (b) sit-stand desk intervention targeting 3 hours standing per day; or (c) control arm over 6 months. The block randomization design will allow for important dose-response analyses. The investigators will objectively quantify standing time, sedentary time, sedentary bouts, daily steps, and exercise activity times using a compact and re-usable accelerometer that adheres to the subject's thigh. This will provide objective assessments of activity levels and sedentary times for 7 full days each at baseline, 3 and 6 months. The device is equipped with an inclinometer to classify posture (sitting verses standing).
The goal of this interventional study is investigating the effect of the daily consumption of olive leaves tea on glycemic control of individuals diagnosed with pre-diabetes. The hypothesis of this study is that the integration of olive leaf tea on daily food consumption will favors glycemic control and ameliorate insulin resistance in individuals with pre-diabetes.
This study is to evaluating the impact of low-intensity statin plus ezetimibe versus high-intensity statin therapy on risk of new-onset diabetes mellitus in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease who have prediabetes.
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and its associated comorbidities pose a major health concern worldwide. Although lifestyle strategies, such as exercise and diet-induced weight loss are effective interventions to counteract the development and progression of the disease, its prevalence continues to increase. Therefore, alternative therapeutic strategies are warranted. One such method, which has increasingly been gaining attention, is cold exposure. Previously, investigators have shown that exposing T2DM patients to mild cold (14-16 oC) for 6 hours per day for 10 consecutive days enhanced their insulin sensitivity by ~43%. This remarkable improvement in insulin sensitivity was accompanied by robust GLUT4 translocation in the skeletal muscle of participants, which likely mediated the improvements in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. Follow-up research suggested that a certain degree of muscle activation/shivering appears to be a prerequisite for the cold-induced enhancement in skeletal muscle insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. In humans however, very little information is available about the effects of shivering on glucose metabolism, especially in metabolically compromised individuals. Therefore, in this study, the aim to investigate the acute effects of (different intensities of) shivering on 24-hour glucose profiles in pre-diabetic individuals as well as in T2DM patients. For that purpose, a focus will be placed on clinically relevant glycaemic parameters by means of continuous glucose monitoring, which is increasingly being used in T2DM management and prevention.
The investigators aim to objectively identify the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation of type II diabetic and prediabetic patients in Singapore through modern technologies thereby potentially increasing the accuracy of identification, diagnosis, and prevention of diabetes and prediabetes through a system of targeted treatment. This observational study integrates the concept of TCM diagnostic methods with modern tools aim to provide an objective view on the syndrome differentiation of diabetic and prediabetic patients in Singapore and hence provide a guideline in the treatment options targeted specifically at Singaporeans demographic. A total of 250 subjects with 50 allocated in each group will be recruited to ensure a sufficient sample size for statistical analysis of the diabetic and prediabetic syndrome differentiation. Subjects aged 21-65 years old, of either gender, with no limitations on race, and is diagnosed with either diabetes (FPG ≥ 7.0 mmol/L, or 2hPG ≥ 11.1mmol) or prediabetes (IFG of FPG 6.1-6.9 mmol/L, and/or IGT with 2hPG of 7.8-11.0 mmol/L) will be included. Subjective and objective assessments through health evaluation, Physical Activity Questionnaire and Sugar Intake, Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire, radial pulse diagnosis and tongue diagnosis will be performed for each subject in a single visit. Statistical analysis of assessments will be conducted using unpaired t-test with significance level of p<0.05. Statistical software SPSS 15.0 (SPSS Inc.) will be used for the analysis.
