NCT ID: NCT02605148 Active, not recruiting - Type 1 Diabetes Clinical Trials

TEFA Family Prevention: Glutenfree Diet to Preserve Beta-cell Function

TEFA
Start date: December 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

To evaluate the effect of Gluten Free Diet (GFD) on beta-cell function and glucose metabolism in subjects with one or several islet autoantibodies without and with dysglycemia at baseline. Additionally, all subjects will be given treatment with Vitamin D, omega fatty acids and probiotics. Subjects will be randomized to GFD or normal diet during 18 months. Beta cell function will be evaluated at baseline, and during follow-up by glucose tolerance tests.

NCT ID: NCT02366481 Active, not recruiting - Obesity Clinical Trials

Vitamin K and Glucose Metabolism in Adults at Risk for Diabetes (Vita-K 'n' Adults Study)

Start date: February 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Given that glutamate carboxylation or decarboxylation is key to the metabolic role of osteocalcin (at least in mouse models) and that carboxylation is vitamin K dependent, it is critical to isolate the effect of vitamin K manipulation on carboxylation of osteocalcin and its subsequent effect on glucose metabolism in clinical trials. The purpose of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial in adults is to determine whether eight weeks of daily supplementation with vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7) can improve markers in blood associated with diabetes risk.

NCT ID: NCT02037321 Active, not recruiting - Obesity Clinical Trials

Meta-Analyses of the Effect of Vegetable Protein for Animal Protein on Cardiometabolic Risk

Start date: May 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Vegetarian diets have been associated with a reduced risk of preventable diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. These effects may be mediated through direct or indirect pathways. Although the high intakes of nuts, legumes, dietary fibre, whole grains, and unsaturated plant oils have each individually been associated with lower risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, so too has the displacement of red meats, processed meats, and saturated animal fats. One of the most important considerations in moving from animal-based diets to more plant-based diets is the replacement of animal proteins (e.g. meat, fish, dairy, eggs) with vegetable proteins (e.g. legumes, nuts, and seeds). It is unclear whether this particular replacement alone results in advantages for metabolic and cardiovascular health. To improve evidence-based guidance for dietary guidelines and health claims development, we propose to conduct a series of systematic reviews and meta-analyses of the effect of plant-based protein in exchange for animal protein on blood lipids, glycemic control, blood pressure, body weight, uric acid, markers of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and kidney function and injury. The systematic review process allows the combining of the results from many small studies in order to arrive at a pooled estimate, similar to a weighted average, of the true effect. The investigators will be able to explore whether the effects of replacing animal-based protein for plant-based protein hold true across different sexes, age groups, and background disease states and whether the effect depends on the protein source, dose, or background diet. The findings of this proposed knowledge synthesis will help improve the health of Canadians through informing recommendations for the general public, as well as those at risk of heart disease and diabetes.

NCT ID: NCT01998867 Active, not recruiting - Obesity Clinical Trials

Fasting Predictors of OGTT and MMTT Response

Start date: August 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

1. To develop a database containing matched information from dynamic tests of postprandial glycemic control (OGTT or MMTT), results of a broad panel of fasting biomarkers, and clinical information related to diabetes risk obtain through subject interview. 2. To use the database to identify fasting biomarkers and associated algorithms to best predict parameters derived from dynamic tests (OGTT or MMTT) such as Insulin Glucose Tolerance (IGT), impaired first phase insulin response, etc., controlling for clinical information such as current medication use.

NCT ID: NCT01926041 Active, not recruiting - Diabetes Mellitus Clinical Trials

The Effectiveness of Smoking Cessation in Prediabetic Smokers

Start date: August 1, 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Existing literature investigating the impact of smoking cessation on new-onset diabetes mellitus (DM) risk is conflicting. Combing the need for smoking cessation and body weight self-management to prevent the progression of prediabetes stage into DM, with the public implementation of the second-generation cessation program, we aimed to study the effectiveness of the Fight Tobacco and Stay Fit (FIT2) program aiming at promoting smoking cessation and restricting post-cessation weight gain (PCWG) together in prediabetic smokers regarding long-term glycemic and DM-related health outcomes.

NCT ID: NCT01649219 Active, not recruiting - Prediabetes Clinical Trials

Intensity of Exercise and Glucose Metabolism

PreDiabEx
Start date: January 2010
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Our aim is to investigate the effects of a 12-week structured aerobic exercise on fasting and 2 h glucose, insulin and lipid concentrations in sedentary overweight subjects in whom impaired fasting glucose and/or impaired glucose tolerance was observed for the first time.

NCT ID: NCT01608620 Active, not recruiting - Obesity Clinical Trials

Meta-analyses of Fructose-containing Sugars and Incident Cardiometabolic Disease

Start date: May 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Since uncontrolled observational studies first linked fructose to the epidemic of obesity almost a decade ago, it has become a focus of intense concern regarding its role in the obesity epidemic and increasing burden of cardiometabolic disease. Despite the uncertainties in the evidence, international health organizations have cautioned against moderate to high intakes fructose-containing sugars, especially those from sugar sweetened beverages (SSBs). To improve the evidence on which nutrition recommendations are based, the investigators propose to study of the role of fructose-containing sugars in the development of overweight/obesity, diabetes, hypertension, gout, and cardiovascular disease, by undertaking a series of systematic syntheses of the available prospective cohort studies. Prospective cohort studies have the advantage of relating "real world" intakes of sugars to clinically meaningful disease endpoints over long durations of follow-up. The findings generated by this proposed knowledge synthesis will help improve the health of consumers through informing recommendations for the general public, as well as those at risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

NCT ID: NCT01608607 Active, not recruiting - Obesity Clinical Trials

Meta-analysis of Fructose-Containing Sugar Sweetened Beverages (SSBs) and Weight Change

Start date: May 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Since uncontrolled observational studies first linked fructose to the epidemic of obesity almost a decade ago, it has become a focus of intense concern regarding its role in the obesity epidemic. Despite the uncertainties in the evidence,the recommendations of international health organizations have cautioned against moderate to high intakes fructose-containing sugars, especially those from sugar sweetened beverages (SSBs). To improve the evidence on which nutrition recommendations are based, the investigators propose to study of the effect of fructose-containing sugar sweetened beverages (SSBs)on body weight, by undertaking a systematic synthesis of the data taken from all available clinical studies in humans. This technique has the strength of allowing all of the available data to be pooled together and differences to be explored in groups of different study participants (healthy humans of different sex, weight, and age and in those with diseases which predispose to disturbances in metabolism, such as diabetes) with dietary fructose in different forms, doses, and with differing durations of exposure. The findings generated by this proposed knowledge synthesis will help improve the health of consumers through informing recommendations for the general public, as well as those at risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

NCT ID: NCT01605422 Active, not recruiting - Obesity Clinical Trials

Meta-analyses of the Effect of Dietary Pulses on Acute Postprandial Metabolic Control

Start date: October 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Dietary pulses (beans, peas, chickpeas, and lentils), more commonly known as "legumes", are generally recognized as healthy components of the diet. Canada's Food Guide encourages consumptions of meat alternatives, such as beans "more often"; and the dietary guidelines for Americans both recommend consumption of 3 cups of legumes per week. However, there remains insufficient information on the usefulness of these foods in protecting heart health. To improve evidence-based guidance for dietary pulse recommendations, the investigators propose to conduct a systematic review of the effect of dietary pulse consumption on after-meal blood sugar levels, appetite, and food intake regulation to help explain their mechanism for improving longterm blood sugar and body weight control. The systematic review process allows the combining of the results from many small studies in order to arrive at a pooled estimate, similar to a weighted average, of the true effect. The investigators will be able to explore whether eating pulses has different effects between men and women, in different age groups and background disease states, and whether or not the effect of pulses depends on the dose and background diet. The findings of this proposed knowledge synthesis will help improve the health of Canadians through informing recommendations for the general public, as well as those at risk of heart disease and diabetes.

NCT ID: NCT01594567 Active, not recruiting - Obesity Clinical Trials

Meta-analyses of Dietary Pulses and Cardiometabolic Risk

Start date: March 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Dietary pulses, more commonly known as "legumes", are generally recognized as healthy components of the diet. Canada's Food Guide encourages consumptions of meat alternatives, such as beans "more often"; and the dietary guidelines for Americans both recommend consumption of 3 cups of legumes per week. However, there still remain insufficient information on the usefulness of these foods in protecting heart health. To improve evidence-based guidance for non-oil-seed pulse recommendations, the investigators propose to conduct a systematic review of clinical studies to assess the effect of eating pulses in exchange for other foods on measures of heart disease risk and blood sugar control in humans. The systematic review process allows the combining of the results from many small studies in order to arrive at a pooled estimate, similar to a weighted average, of the true effect. The investigators will be able to explore whether eating pulses has different effects between men and women, in different age groups, in people with high or normal sugar or blood fat levels, and whether or not the effect of pulses depends on how much/often they are eaten. The findings of this proposed knowledge synthesis will help improve the health of Canadians through informing recommendations for the general public, as well as those at risk of heart disease and diabetes.
