Filter by:The objective of this trial is to compare the effects of a healthy, lean beef diet and an average American, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) style diet, that is low in saturated fatty acids (SFA), on insulin sensitivity in men and women with risk factors for diabetes mellitus.
Individuals with prediabetes are at increased risk for developing diabetes. Higher hemoglobin A1c's (6.1-6.4%) are associated with a high risk of developing diabetes. It is known that programs such weight management classes and one-on-one counseling with registered dieticians can lead to weight loss and decrease the risk of diabetes. However, engagement of Kaiser Permanente Colorado members in these activities is low. The purpose of this study is to determine which of three outreach methods is most effective in increasing engagement in these activities.
The primary purpose of this pilot study is to test a novel head worn light device (Re-Timer®) as an intervention to improve glucose metabolism in people with prediabetes. The hypothesis is that morning light treatment will improve glucose metabolism. This is a pilot study and the data from this project will be used to develop a larger clinical trial.
This pilot study aims to determine whether adding a sleep extension and sleep hygiene intervention to an existing lifestyle improvement program improves its efficacy for weight loss in those at risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Half of the participants will receive the Centers for Disease Control's standard PreventT2 program and half of the participants will receive the same program with an additional sleep intervention.
This platform will enable investigation the cardiovascular risk reduction and the increase in participant engagement in their heart-healthy goals, through the use of virtual care/telemedicine with a digital platform that connects them to their own doctors, nurses, and dietitians.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of moderate versus vigorous intensity exercise training on glycemic control in older adults. Glycemic control will be assessed using an oral glucose tolerance test and continuous glucose monitors. In addition, the investigaotrs will investigate whether engaging in an exercise training program elicits changes in sedentary behavior, non-exercise physical activity, sleep, and total daily energy expenditure.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of consuming 1.5 oz almonds twice daily on insulin sensitivity and markers of cardiometabolic health in men and women with prediabetes.
A study to determine glucose and insulin responses to 50g and 100 g of carbohydrate with and without Gelesis200.
Project Summary Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with the development of diabetes and cardiovascular disease; however it is also linked with cognitive decline and dementia. The study investigators have shown that MetS is associated with lower cerebral blood flow (CBF) and memory function in late middle-aged adults at increased risk for developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). Insulin resistance (IR) is at the core of MetS, and a hallmark feature of IR is higher fasting blood glucose (FBG) as well as post prandial hyperglycemia. While the study investigators and others have demonstrated links between IR and CBF as well as cognition from an observational perspective, no studies have investigated CBF and cognition after an intervention involving exercise and a carbohydrate restricted diet (CRD) designed to improve or normalize IR and glucose homeostasis. The study investigators propose to determine the effect of improving or normalizing glucose homeostasis on CBF and cognition, through diet and exercise, in individuals with IR and at risk for the development of AD. While exercise and a CRD have been shown to improve IR and glycemic control, we have only limited knowledge of the mechanisms behind these improvements. Nutritional metabolomics, the global measurement and interpretation of metabolic profiles, assesses the interaction of diet with the endogenous gene-protein cascade and the gut microbiome. Additionally, exercise has been shown to have an impact on the human metabolome. Finally, numerous metabolites have been specifically linked to IR and impaired fasting glucose (IFG). The study investigators propose to use metabolomics to measure changes in metabolites as individuals normalize or improve IR and glucose homeostasis. Should this exploratory study reveal increased brain blood flow and improved memory in response to diet and exercise, then early treatment of these individuals at risk might offer new avenues for disease-course modification. Strategies towards early and effective risk factor management could be of value in reducing the risk of metabolic as well as cognitive decline. In addition, should this study reveal changes in metabolic abnormalities consistent with early indications of diabetes, metabolomics could be an effective approach to complement disease risk analysis in our goal toward precision care.
This pragmatic randomized clinical trial will assess the efficacy, cost, and sustainability of a culturally tailored weight-loss program targeting obese Hispanic women with pre-diabetes or T2D. The intervention will be integrated into patient care at a Federally Qualified Health Center serving over 30,000 low-income patients, and will be delivered by trained clinic staff, with minimal support from research staff. After the effectiveness clinical trial, two cohorts of clinic patients will receive the intervention in a sustainability test.
