Filter by:Prediabetes is the term used for people whose glucose levels do not meet the criteria for diabetes but are too high to be considered normal. This is defined by the presence of blood glucose between 100-125 mg / dL, values per glucose tolerance curve of 140-199mg / dL and/or HbA1c 5.7-6.4%. Prediabetes should not be considered as a clinical entity in itself, but as a risk factor for diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Prediabetes is associated with obesity (especially abdominal or visceral obesity), dyslipidemia with elevated triglycerides and/or low HDL cholesterol, and hypertension.
Melatonin is a hormone that regulates the circadian cycle in addition to having an antioxidant effect. Patients with prediabetes state, has a deregulation of glucose metabolism and an overproduction of reactive oxygen species caused by levels of hyperglycemia that generate DNA modification in pancreatic beta cells, which leads to apoptosis and a deficient production of insulin. The administration of metformin and melatonin could be a possibility to treat and reverse the prediabetic state decreasing the glycemic levels and reactive oxygen species production.
The aim of the study is to compare the endocrine function of pancreas between pre and post metabolic surgery in patients with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes. The study will examine the endocrine function of pancreas using 18F-FDOPA PET/CT imaging and various biochemical laboratory tests
Identifying biomarkers of early pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) could facilitate screening for individuals at higher than average risk and expedite the diagnosis in individuals with symptoms and substantially improve an individual's chance of surviving the disease. The investigators propose a longitudinal study of subjects at higher than average risk of PDAC in order to generate clinical data and bank serial blood specimens.
One in three American adults have prediabetes, and up to 70% of adults with prediabetes eventually develop type 2 diabetes. With the high cost of treating diabetes, cost-effective approaches are needed to reduce the incidence of diabetes. One new strategy may be to change when people eat. Studies in rodents suggest that a form of intermittent fasting that limits eating to a short time period each day and involves fasting for the rest of the day (time-restricted eating; TRE) improves blood sugar control and cardiovascular health. Preliminary studies suggest that TRE also improves blood sugar, weight loss, and cardiovascular health in humans. This study will be the first full-scale, controlled feeding trial to determine whether TRE can improve 24-hour blood sugar control, 24-hour blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease risk factors even when food intake is matched to the control group. This clinical trial will also determine whether the benefits of TRE depend on the time of day that people eat. Participants will be assigned to one of three groups: (1) 'Early TRE' (eat between ~8 am-3 pm), (2) 'Mid-day TRE' (eat between ~1 pm - 8 pm), or (3) Control Schedule (~8 am - 8 pm) for 8 weeks. All food will be provided and matched between groups.
This study will use continuous glucose monitoring and actigraphy to examine whether a personalized, daily sleep extension intervention improves glucose regulation for community dwelling, sleep-restricted adults with pre-diabetes. The randomized controlled trial will include 150 adults with pre-diabetes. Sleep extension and habitual sleep groups will complete daily sleep diaries and participate in a weekly 15-minute telephone call or videoconference meeting with a member of the study team (8 sessions total). Data collection will be at 2 time points: pre-randomization and post-intervention (completion of the 8-week intervention). Changes in the percent time glucose is ≥ 140mg/dL at baseline and post-intervention will be established and compared across the sleep extension and habitual sleep arms.
Aim of the study is to investigate genes regulating glucose and lipid metabolism in subjects whose glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, blood flow, or body fat distribution has been measured using positron emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) or computed tomography (CT) as part of their previous participation in clinical trials conducted at Turku PET Centre. By combining information from PET, MRI, CT, proteomics, metabolomics and genetics analyses we aim to find connection between genetic variation and metabolic and cardiovascular disease.
Background: A significant proportion of pre-diabetics, show macro and micro vascular complications associated with hyperglycaemia. Although many trials have demonstrated the efficacy of lifestyle and pharmaceutical interventions in diabetes prevention, no trial has evaluated the extent to which mid- and long-term complications can be prevented by early interventions on hyperglycaemia. Aims: To assess the long-term effects on multiple complications of hyperglycaemia of early intensive management of hyperglycaemia with linagliptin, metformin or their combination added to lifestyle intervention (LSI) (diet and physical activity), compared with LSI alone in adults with non-diabetic intermediate hyperglycaemia (IFG, IGT or both). Study Design: Investigator initiated (non-commercial), long-term, multi-centre, randomised, partially double blinded, placebo controlled, phase-IIIb clinical trial with prospective blinded outcome evaluation. Participants will be randomised to four parallel arms: 1) LSI + 2 placebo tablets/day; 2) LSI + 2 Metformin tablets of 850 mg/day; 3) LSI + 1 Linagliptin tablets of 5 mg/day and 1 placebo; 4) LSI + 2 tablets of a fixed-dose combination of Linagliptin 2.5mg and Metformin 850 /day. Active intervention will last for at least 2 years. Setting and population: Males and Females with pre-diabetes (IFG, IGT or both) aged 45 to 74 years selected from primary care screening programs in 14 clinical centres from 10 countries: Australia, Austria, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, Kuwait, Poland, Serbia, Spain and Turkey and . (N=1000) Main Outcomes: The primary endpoint is a combined continous variable: "the microvascular complication índex" (MCI) composed by a linear combination of the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study Scale (ETDRS) score (based on retinograms), the level of urinary albumin to creatinine ratio, and a measure of distal small fibre neuropathy (sudomotor test by SUDOSCAN), measured during baseline visit and at 24th and 48th month visits after randomisation. In addition, serological biomarkers of inflammation, vascular damage, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, insulin secretion, measures of quality of life, sleep quality, neuropsychological evaluation and endothelial function will be also evaluated in a subset of participants.
The lifestyle intervention program focusing on healthy dietary habit and exercise effectively prevents progression to diabetes. Thus, the purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of lifestyle intervention program on pre-diabetics subjects in Taiwan.
The purpose of this study is to address whether inactive individuals with prediabetes who take part in the Small Steps for Big Changes program, which is a 3-week supervised exercise and lifestyle change program with brief counseling, will be more adherent to regular exercise one year after program completion compared to before they took part in the program.
