Filter by:Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theories assert that body constitution and meridian energy are the foundations for disease prevention. However, few studies have incorporated TCM concepts into risk factors. This study aimed to examine the association between body constitution and meridian energy in individuals with prediabetes. We conducted a matched case-control study that included 60 individuals with prediabetes. Finally, the reseachers have found that body constitution may be a risk factor fpr progression to type 2 diabetes mellitus in individuals with prediabetes.
Screening for the risk factors of type 2 diabetes is a part of the primary prevention approach. Pre-diabetes is one of the modifiable risk factors; however, it remains under-diagnosed. Our aim was to analyse the attitudes of general practitioners in Lorraine towards prediabetes
The high prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes has increased the demand for nonnutritive sweeteners in recent years. Miracle fruit has been considered a healthy alternative sweetener for diabetic patients due to its sweetness-enhancing effects and high antioxidant activity. The purposes of this study are to examine whether the miracle fruit pill application to mouth prior to food consumption could improve the likings of different types of sour food (green apple, goat cheese, lemonade, cucumber pickle, and plain fat-free yogurt) and meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), and reduce energy intakes at the meals. Fifty volunteers (25 men and 25 women) aged 45 to 75 years with diabetes or prediabetes participate in the study. In this study, two interventions (miracle fruit and placebo) are provided, and all participants receive both applications. Participants are randomly assigned to one of the two interventions in part 1 and the assignment is switched from one application to another in part 2. The study hypotheses of this study are that the miracle fruit intervention improves the likings for sour foods and meals more than the placebo does; The miracle fruit intervention also reduces energy intakes from the meals more than the placebo does. Participants are asked to participate in a total of 6 sessions (1 hour/session, 1 session/day, Part 1: session 1, 2, & 3, Part 2: session 4, 5, & 6). Each session consists of two 30-min assessments, which are liking tests and meal intake assessment. The potential participants who have known food allergies or food intolerances are screened through consented screening procedure. If unknown food allergies or intolerances unintentionally become present during the study, medical help will be sought immediately. Participants may enjoy food samples and meals provided in this study and benefit by learning more about their acceptances for miracle fruit pill as an alternative sweetener. The results of this research are expected to develop generalizable knowledge about the miracle fruit's potential to improve the food palatability for people with diabetes or prediabetes.
The objective of this study is to assess and compare the effects of usual diets containing lean beef vs. lean poultry on pancreatic beta-cell responses in men and women with prediabetes.
The aim of the study is to explore the effect of a low-calorie diet rich in protein (with a content of 35% of the total calories of the diet), mostly coming from animal sources (75% of total protein), compared to a hypocaloric diet rich in protein (with a content of 35% of the total calories of the diet), mostly coming from plant sources (75% of total proteins), in subjects with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes and overweight or obesity, on body composition, glucose and lipid metabolisms, after 6 months of intervention. To achieve the objective, a nutritional intervention study is carried out by randomizing participants to: a) a hypocaloric and high-protein diet (35% of total calories), mostly of them coming from animal sources (75% of total protein); b) a hypocaloric and high-protein diet (35% of total calories), mostly of them coming from plant sources (75% of total protein). The study has a total duration of 6 months and include the assessment of clinical, anthropometric, biochemical and lifestyle parameters, at the beginning of the study and after 3 and 6 months of intervention.
The purpose of this research study is to determine whether continuous glucose monitors (CGM) are a safe, effective, and acceptable way to evaluate type 2 diabetes risk in youth as compared to the standard 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). This study will involve wearing a CGM, wearing a physical activity tracker, responding to surveys, and completing at-home glucose and mixed food challenge while wearing the CGM. Subjects will also be asked to complete an interview by phone or videoconference after wearing the CGM.
The purpose of this project is to improve the quality of weight management care for patients with pre-diabetes and overweight or obesity. Personalized risk profiles, clinical decision support, and patient-centered decision tools for understanding pre-diabetes risk and the likelihood of preventing diabetes with a modest 5-7% weight loss will be developed. This project will offer patients their choice of effective weight management treatment options, each containing the cornerstone of weight management- intensive lifestyle intervention. Patients and PCPs will be better informed and equipped with information that helps them make weight management treatment decisions that work the best for their lifestyle, and each is expected to produce at least 5-7% weight loss over 6 months.
The purpose of this pilot trial is to compare feasibility and effectiveness of remote delivery (social media or video conferencing) of the National Diabetes Prevention Program (N-DPP) to adults in rural communities. The research team will train a Kansas State Research and Extension staff to deliver the video conferencing arm while a research team member will lead the social media arm.
Strawberries can be categorized as a functional food based on results from several clinical trials in improving cardiometabolic health beyond providing nutrition. Recent studies identify the role of strawberries in improving insulin resistance and risks of type 2 diabetes which urgently warrants further investigation, keeping in view the huge public health burden of diabetes in the US. In this study, the investigators propose to investigate the effects of a dietary achievable dose of strawberries on glycemic control, insulin resistance, and HbA1c (primary variables) and biomarkers of inflammation and endothelial function in a 28- week controlled crossover study.
This study will examine the feasibility and acceptability of a family-oriented augmentation of the Diabetes Prevention Program lifestyle intervention (DPP), called the Family DPP. It will also preliminarily examine adult and child health and health behavior outcomes. The DPP is a 12-month, group-based lifestyle intervention for adults at high-risk for type 2 diabetes, in which adult participants learn skills and strategies to achieve the program's goals of 5% weight loss and 150 minutes/week of moderate-vigorous physical activity. The Family DPP will consist of all elements of the evidence-based DPP, along with augmentations including additional child-focused sessions in which adult participants will learn about principles and strategies for promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors in children, ages 5 through 12 years. Children may participate in certain child-focused sessions, too. The non-randomized pilot feasibility study will consists of 2 arms/groups: 1) the concurrent "control" group, consisting of adults who are enrolled in the DPP; and 2) the "intervention" arm, in which the adult participants will engage in the Family DPP (and children may participate in certain aspects of the Family DPP focused on children). The study will recruit 10-15 adult-child dyads, for the "intervention" groups, and 10-15 adults for the concurrent control group. In addition to data collected from adult participants as a routine part of the DPP, the study will examine additional adult health behaviors and health outcomes and child health outcomes (change in body mass index z-score) and health behaviors at baseline, 6 months and 12 months (program end) among participants in the "intervention" group.
