Filter by:Although it has been suggested that selenium (Se) increases the risk of T2DM, most evidence comes from observational studies that cannot prove causality. A systematic review assessed randomized clinical trials and found that the risk of T2DM was not greater in those randomized to Se supplementation than in those randomized to placebo. Se is a toxic element in animals and humans, and overexposure to Se has also been linked to detrimental health effects in humans. Previous studies were mostly conducted in Se-sufficient areas. Moreover, the effectiveness of low-dose Se supplementation on participants with elevated glycemic status was unknown. This cross-over, double blinded, randomized controlled trail aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Se supplementation for glucose control among participants with diabetes or prediabetes. Moreover, we also aimed to examine whether selenoprotein P genotypes, Se-related gut microbiota and their related metabolite modified the effectiveness.
This study will investigate the gut microbiota-mediated effects of whole wheat consumption on human health in adults with pre-diabetes. Participants will complete two phases of intervention in random order in which they will consume either whole wheat bread (4 servings) or white bread a day for two weeks prior to collecting specimens (stool, urine, and plasma/serum).
Intermittent fasting is a method of restricting calories over a defined period of time and includes regimens such as whole-day fasting, alternate-day fasting, and time-restricted feeding. There is emerging evidence that intermittent fasting or energy restriction might be more beneficial than continuous energy restriction for some risk factors. The effect of intermittent fasting on risk factors associated with obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, however, is not clear. The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) has yet to make any recommendations regarding the role of intermittent fasting in the management of diabetes. To inform the update of the EASD Clinical Practice Guidelines for Nutrition Therapy, tthe Diabetes and Nutrition Study Group (DNSG) of the EASD has commissioned a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of the effect of different intermittent fasting strategies on established cardiometabolic risk factors. The findings generated by this proposed knowledge synthesis will shape guide current guidelines and improve health outcomes by educating healthcare providers and patients, and by guiding future research design.
African Americans (AAs) have rates of diabetes mellitus (DM) twice that of Whites and are disproportionately affected by leading risk factors for DM - obesity and low-income. A critical strategy in the battle against DM is the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), an evidence-based intervention that significantly delays or prevents Type 2 diabetes through the promotion of diet change, exercise and modest weight loss. However, weight loss from the DPP among AAs is about half that of White participants, and suboptimal AA attendance is a critical contributor. The investigators propose to conduct a study that will address social determinants (SD) that challenge DPP attendance with underserved African Americans from a safety net hospital. The investigators will examine DPP attendance and weight loss with participants randomized to 3 groups: standard DPP, a culturally-tailored DPP to address acceptability, and a culturally-tailored DPP enhanced to address socioeconomic-related barriers to DPP participation. This novel study is the first to tailor the DPP to address SD cultural and socioeconomic barriers that limit DPP attendance and reduce its effectiveness on outcomes. The proposed multidimensional, SD tailored DPP has great potential to be a feasible and scalable model to reduce DM risks among urban, African Americans and ultimately reduce DM disparities.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of 3 months supplementation of lyophilize dried cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.) on women diagnosed with insulin resistance. The baseline and end biochemical parameters and anthropometric measurements will be compared with control subjects.
There are studies that suggest glycemic response to incretin-based therapies differs between Asians and Caucasians, whereby Asians have better response compared to Caucasians. Hence, the therapeutic response could also be augmented by difference in incretin system among various ethnicities. This study is carried out to study the effect of dipeptidyl-peptidase IV (DPPIV) inhibitors in prediabetes and T2DM patients who have different levels of GLP-1 and to determine the effect on glycemic profiles, insulin resistance/sensitivity, beta-cell functon.
This study is testing whether daily metformin for 1 year postpartum can reduce risk of diabetes in patients who had gestational diabetes. Typical care for prediabetes after gestational diabetes is counseling on diet and lifestyle. This study is researching whether management of diabetes prevention is more effective with the drug metformin. This study will be conducted at Tufts Medical Center.
This study aims to improve blood glucose and weight in patients with prediabetes and obesity through health education, nutritional supplement interventions, clinical evaluation, and close clinical follow-up.100 patients with prediabetes with obesity were randomly divided into 2 groups: life intervention group, nutritional supplement intervention group. All enrolled participants were recommended for routine diabetes lifestyle education according to the "Expert Consensus on Prediabetes Intervention in Adults in China". The duration of the intervention was 3 months. The investigators aimed to compare the differences in weight, glycosylated hemoglobin, lipids and other indicators of the two groups of included populations before and after the intervention. In addition, the investigators are to explore the effects of nutritional supplement interventions on glycolipid metabolism and body weight in prediabetes with obesity.
Prediabetes is a significant public health problem affecting 88 million U.S. adults. Evidence suggest that the vast majority of people with prediabetes are unaware of having this condition and many are not receiving appropriate care for prediabetes, including referral to evidence-based programs like the Diabetes Prevention Programs (DPP). In the investigator's retrospective cohort study of patients with prediabetes from Johns Hopkins Health Systems, the investigators found that the rates of prediabetes clinical care activities are low. In the investigators' qualitative studies, the investigators found that primary care physician (PCP) barriers include low knowledge about Diabetes Prevention Programs and misperceptions of insurance coverage of these programs and inadequate clinical staff to address prediabetes. Common patient barriers to taking action to prevent diabetes include lack of motivation, time and resources. Based on prior research, comprehensive strategies are urgently needed to improve prediabetes care. Using these findings, the investigators have designed and plan to implement a diabetes prevention clinical pathway which seeks to address some of these common clinician and patient barriers. The investigators hypothesize that the clinical pathway will result in increased clinician screening and intervention and improve patient engagement in diabetes prevention. The investigators will compare results from the intervention clinic compared to a control clinic. If successful, the investigators plan to implement and test the effectiveness of this clinical pathway across the entire health system.
