Filter by:This feasibility study seeks to develop and pilot test Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy as a possible treatment for people with prediabetes.
The aim of this project is to use the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, Sustainment (EPIS) framework to collect pilot data on the implementation of a Diabetes Prevention Program-like intervention in the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program.
The study will investigate the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of beta-alanine supplementation in adults with overweight or obesity. Beta-alanine is a widely used dietary supplement that can increase the amount of carnosine in skeletal muscle. Both carnosine and beta-alanine occur naturally in animal food products and previous research shows that supplementation with beta-alanine leads to an improvement in exercise performance; more recently, the present investigators have shown that increasing carnosine can also help to improve cardiometabolic health, detoxify skeletal muscle, and improve glucose (sugar) uptake into muscle cells. The investigators will recruit 30 participants (15 per arm) with overweight or obesity who meet the study criteria (this accounts for up to 20% attrition - a minimum of 12 participants per arm). Those who are eligible will be required to receive three short telephone calls and attend three laboratory sessions. Participants will be randomised to receive either beta-alanine or placebo (an inactive sugar pill) for the 3-month study period. To see whether beta-alanine supplementation is feasible in this population the investigators will measure recruitment, adherence (how well people can stick to the supplement regime), the number and nature of side effects, and blinding to the intervention. Markers of cardiac function, glycaemic control, and metabolic health will also be explored. All measurements will take place before and after a 3-month supplementation period. This will provide us with novel information of the role of beta-alanine and carnosine in cardiometabolic health; and will aid in the planning of a larger randomised controlled trial to assess the efficacy of beta-alanine supplementation as a therapeutic strategy.
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.
The investigators will evaluate whether a brief intervention (i.e. a workbook and video presenting educational information and activities materials for diabetes prevention) that incorporates principles drawn from focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy frameworks impact positive and negative affect, stress perceptions, treatment expectations and intentions to engage, motivation and activation, illness perceptions, stress, diabetes distress, weight stigma internalization, controllability awareness, psychological flexibility, and self-efficacy - compared to standard diabetes prevention education materials.
A prospective analytic study to evaluate the incidence, clinical and laboratory characteristics, extent of coronary artery disease and short-term outcome of newly diagnosed diabetes and pre-diabetes in patients with first-time diagnosed coronary artery disease treated in Saud Al Babtain Cardiac Center.
Chronotype and chrononutrition, both are emerging research fields in nutritional epidemiology. However, its association with glycemic control in the global population is less clear. A better understanding of how activity/ eating time can influence glucose levels in prediabetic individuals may improve strategies for blood glucose control. The present paper aims to determine the associations of chronotype and chrononutrition with glucose tolerance among prediabetic individuals in Malaysia.
The overall aim of this feasibility study is to conduct a randomized, controlled intervention providing adults with prediabetes either an individualized nutrition therapy (INT) intervention that contains individualized dietary goal-setting components, the goal being to improve blood glucose, reduce CVD risk factors, and therefore postpone the onset of diabetes and related cardiovascular disease, or standard-of-care generalized dietary recommendation (SOC). The hypothesis is that the INT arm will experience greater benefits in some or all of the following primary outcome variables: improvement in postprandial blood glucose, oral glucose tolerance test, fasting insulin, and calculated insulin sensitivity (HOMA) in individuals with prediabetes. Secondary outcome variables are improved markers of inflammation, antioxidant status, blood lipids, blood pressure, and endothelial function.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the longitudinal test performance of an array of conventional biomarkers of glycemia, including Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and novel metabolomic biomarkers for identifying progression of glucose tolerance (normal to prediabetes or prediabetes to diabetes) in an overweight and obese pediatric cohort.
