Filter by:Kuwait and the Gulf Region lack large longitudinal studies that identify risk factors dictating the onset of prediabetes and the progression to diabetes. The Kuwait Diabetes Epidemiology Program (KDEP), previously carried out at Dasman Diabetes Institute, was designed to develop a research dataset providing a random sampling of the Kuwaiti population. The dataset contained primarily epidemiology data for healthy, prediabetic and diabetic individuals; and was designed to serve as a resource for research and prevention programs on obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. The KDEP data supported research studies at DDI to delineate risk factors for metabolic disease from the views of genetics, biochemistry, immunology and epidemiology. One of the main limitations of the KDEP study was that it only captured a cross-sectional view of the participants in terms of diabetes status as well as lack of extensive phenotyping. In the current study, the investigators aim to perform a follow up on the non-diabetic KDEP cohort participants to enrich it with detailed physiological, genetic, biochemical and environmental data and thereby to establish an association between the development of diabetes and multidimensional risk factors. the investigatorswill also recruit family members of the KDEP and RA2010-005 participants as well as others with family history of diabetes to better identify familial patterns in risk factors. The outcome of this effort will immediately serve as a scientific baseline for developing prevention strategies for the control and management of obesity, diabetes and associated complications such as cardiovascular disease. Given the magnitude of the social and economic burden of diabetes on the Kuwaiti population, longitudinal data from the KDEP Follow-up study should play an important role in establishing the incidence of T2D progression in non-diabetic participants that were enrolled in the initial study as well as of progression to diabetes complications. This will have a positive impact on the population by providing clinicians with data to better target their patient management and by supporting policy and decision-makers in developing comprehensive health promotion programs to control these diseases at the national level.
KDDP is a prospective, 12-month pilot study comparing the effects of a novel lifestyle program, the Ketogenic Diet and Diabetes Demonstration Project (KDDP) to those of the National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDDP). KDDP is modeled to mimic the delivery platform of NDPP with the exception that participants in KDDP will be placed on a medically-supervised ketogenic diet, and participants in NDPP will be placed on a low fat diet. The purpose of this study is to compare the metabolic effects of the KDDP and the NDPP on glycemic control, lipid parameters, blood pressure, heart rate, weight, and coronary artery calcium scores in individuals with either type 2 diabetes or prediabetes.
The effects of orange juice enriched with vitamin D3 and encapsulated probiotics (Lacticaseibacillus casei Shirota and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG) compared to conventional orange juice on several cardiometabolic and anthropometric parameters in individuals at risk of cardiovascular disease.
The effects of yogurt with spirulina consumption compared to conventional yogurt (without spirulina) on several cardiometabolic and anthropometric parameters in individuals at risk of cardiovascular disease
TRANSFORM is a prospective, randomized, open blinded endpoint (PROBE), event-driven, pragmatic trial in patients who are at increased risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular (CV) disease but with no known symptomatic CV disease. The trial tests the hypothesis that a Cleerly Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) Staging System-based care strategy reduces CV events compared with risk factor-based care.
Through the MALDI-TOF MS platform, explore the proteomics and peptidomics differences of fasting serum/plasma and urine between non pregnant people with normal glucose tolerance test and prediabetes /diabetes patients, pregnant people with normal glucose tolerance test and pregnant diabetes patients respectively; To explore the role of its proteomics and peptidomics differences in the diagnosis of prediabetes and diabetes, and to establish a new method of differential diagnosis by using the omics data and key characteristic peaks to find potential new diagnostic markers.
This randomized controlled trail will evaluate the efficacy and safety of a simultaneous therapeutic carbohydrate restriction and treatment with the Sodium-Glucose-Transporter-2-Inhibitor dapagliflozin in comparison to the standard of care treatment in patients with chronic kidney disease and prediabetes or type 2 diabetes mellitus. Participants will be randomized 1:1. The interventional group will be educated on how to implement a therapeutic carbohydrate restriction (50-100 grams of carbohydrates per day). Regarding safety, the patients of the interventional group will be provided with continuous glucose monitoring systems and blood ketone meters. The participants of the control group will continue to receive the standard of care therapy for the treatment of chronic kidney disease and prediabetes or type 2 diabetes mellitus. Both groups will be treated with dapagliflozin.
The goal of this study is to compare the impact of a SMART ((specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, or timely) Goal setting protocol on body weight, metabolic parameters (Hemoglobin A1c, lipids), diet quality and physical activity frequency in obese children with prediabetes in the outpatient setting. The main question is if participants using the SMART Goal Setting Protocol (SGSP) will have a significant reduction. The participants randomized to the study group will receive the SGSP, consisting of the SMART Goal Selection Guide (SGSG) and Weekly Goal Monitoring Tool (WGMT), in BMI Z-score, A1c, and dyslipidemia in 6 months compared to controls.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of metformin pretreatment on reproductive outcomes in infertile women with prediabetes.
Lower attainment of cardiovascular health (CVH), indicated by the American Heart Association's Life's Simple 7 (LS7; physical activity, diet, cholesterol, blood pressure, body mass index, smoking, glycemia) and Life's Essential 8 (LE8; LS7+sleep) metrics, is a major contributor to Black men having the shortest life-expectancy of any non-indigenous race/sex group. Unfortunately, a paucity of literature exists on interventions aimed at improving CVH among Black men. The team of clinician scientists and community partners co-developed a community-based lifestyle intervention titled Black Impact: a 24-week intervention for Black men with less-than-ideal CVH (<4 LS7 metrics in the ideal range) with 45 minutes of weekly physical activity, 45 minutes of weekly health education, and engagement with a health coach, group fitness trainer, and community health worker. Single-arm pilot testing of the intervention (n=74) revealed high feasibility, acceptability, and retention and a 0.93 (95% confidence interval: 0.40, 1.46, p<0.001) point increase in LS7 score at 24 weeks. Secondary outcomes included improvements in psychosocial stress (i.e., perceived stress, depressive symptoms), patient activation, and social needs. Thus, robustly powered clinical trials are needed to determine the efficacy of Black Impact and to evaluate the underlying interpersonal and molecular pathways by which Black Impact improves psychosocial stress and CVH. Thus, the investigators propose a randomized, wait-list controlled trial of Black Impact. This novel, community-based intervention to provide a scalable model to improve CVH and psychosocial stress at the population level and evaluate the biological underpinnings by which the intervention mitigates cardiovascular disease risk. The proposed study aligns with American Heart Association's commitment to addressing CVH equity through innovative, multi-modal solutions.
