Filter by:This is randomized placebo controlled, double-blinded, parallel arm study on free living Asian Indians. Eligible subjects will undergo one-week run-in period and subjects will be asked to maintain their usual diet and exercise regime. At the end of the run-in period, subjects fulfilling the inclusion/exclusion criteria at this stage will be randomized either to the intervention arm or control arm using computerized random number tables. The measured parameters will include, 24-h diet recall, food frequency questionnaire, anthropometry including circumferences, height and weight, and blood parameters including blood glucose (fasting), serum insulin (fasting), HbA1c and lipid profile.
Tree nuts - such as almonds - contribute to beneficial effects of the Mediterranean diet on risk for cardiovascular events, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, inflammation and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Almonds provide few carbohydrates, but lots of unsaturated fat and dietary fiber. But to which extent and by which mechanisms may almonds improve all aspects of the Metabolic Syndrome? Previous clinical trials showed weaker effects than rodent studies, most possibly due to low statistical power and metabolically insusceptible patients. The 3-year AGAMEMNON project aims to investigate, if 16 weeks of supplementation with almonds (vs. no treatment) in 150 patients with prediabetes and NAFLD leads to significant improvements in glycemia and liver fat, lipid metabolism, body composition and inflammation. The isocaloric design will outrule effects of weight loss and will allow the analysis of metabolic pathways between fat depots, inflammation, insulin resistance and gut function. Lipidomics are assessed as novel predictor of disease progression and metabolic response.
This pilot and feasibility study aims to assess the effectiveness of a nutrition education intervention using the Cooking Matters for Adults Curriculum (SNAP-Ed). The study compares this standard curriculum with an enhanced version that includes the same curriculum but has additional components, incorporating specific information related to type 2 diabetes. Additionally, participants in the enhanced group will receive continuous glucose monitors to wear during the study for 10 days. The primary outcomes of the study include evaluating the acceptability of the intervention, and the feasibility of conducting the intervention at the UNLV Nutrition Center. The investigators will also assess participants' Knowledge, Attitudes, and Intentions regarding produce consumption. Alongside feasibility and acceptability, the study aims to explore the preliminary effectiveness of the intervention in increasing fruit and vegetable consumption, reducing HbA1c, managing cardiometabolic risk, and improving gut microbiome composition and diversity among participants in the program. The investigators will also assess changes in other lifestyle behaviors from baseline to post-intervention (6 weeks) (sleep, stress, physical activity, and sedentary behavior).
This study will focus on changes in blood sugar in response to tasting different types of sweeteners using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology.
The goal of this study is to enhance reach and uptake of diabetes prevention among young adults, with a focus on recruiting underserved and high-need students who face additional challenges, including food and financial insecurity. The specific aims are to: 1) Evaluate the efficacy of adolescents and young adults (AYA)-tailored version of the University of California Diabetes Prevention Program (UC DPP) for mitigating type 2 diabetes risk (i.e., weight change) in a pre/post pilot trial. The investigators hypothesize that the AYA-tailored intervention will be effective at producing 5% weight loss from baseline to program completion (at 9-months); and, 2) Assess the feasibility and acceptability of an AYA-tailored version of the UC DPP program. The investigators hypothesize that it will be feasible to recruit the desired number of participants given proposed innovative outreach strategies, and that the AYA-tailored intervention will be deemed acceptable to participants both qualitatively and in regards to their retention in the program at rates similar to the larger UC DPP. The investigators will randomize participants to the AYA-tailored DPP cohort vs control cohort. Control participants will be offered the opportunity to participate in the AYA-tailored DPP in the following academic year. Participants will be organized into groups within their DPP cohort based on their student status and/or place of residence. The intervention will include 19 sessions (18 in-person and 1 on-demand) covering 24 DPP modules; each session is approximately an hour in length and will be moderated by a lifestyle coach. At the end of each session, intervention participants will receive an email/text with a unique link to a brief REDCap survey to ascertain acceptability of the session. Control group will receive access to materials about study habits, alcohol use, and financial literacy. Control group will receive materials via e-mail for participants to review on their own time and will receive acceptability surveys. A research assistant (RA) will meet with control participants via Zoom to explain the materials. Participants will complete baseline and 9-month follow-up assessments. Participants will complete a 30 minute questionnaire via REDCap and height/weight measurements will be collected by a RA. Participants will be asked to self-report weight and physical activity at the end of the fall and winter quarter; data will be collected via brief REDCap survey.
A body of animal studies as well as observational studies in humans demonstrated that butyrate is one SCFA that has pronounced positive effects on body weight control, inflammation, and insulin resistance. Even though the SCFA hexanoate is less researched, it has been shown to be involved in anti-inflammatory processes. Of note, acute human studies showed that fibre-induced metabolic improvements are linked to higher SCFA levels in the systemic circulation. It has been shown that a butyrate/hexanoate-enriched triglyceride oil enhanced systemic butyrate and hexanoate concentrations for a prolonged time. Yet, it remains to be determined whether a chronic increase in circulating butyrate and hexanoate concentrations translate into long-term benefits. In this study it is hypothesized that a chronic increase of butyrate/hexanoate in the circulation may improve host metabolism and metabolic health by improving adipose tissue function, reducing systemic lipid overflow and inflammation thereby increasing peripheral insulin sensitivity in individual with overweight/obesity and prediabetes.
The overall aim is to identify the dietary pattern for prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes. The specific aim of this pilot project is to compare effects of two diets with different diurnal distribution of carbohydrates and protein on the glucose metabolism in subjects with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes and its effects on inflammatory status.
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of active opportunistic screening using point-of-care capillary Hemoglobin-A1c (POC-cHbA1c) testing, compared to venous HbA1c (vHbA1c) testing, in improving detection of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among at-risk primary care patients. Design: Pragmatic cluster randomized controlled trial. Setting: 8 public primary care clinics in Hong Kong. Participants: A minimum of 776 patients (97 per clinic) who have ≥1 risk factor for T2DM, but no known diagnosis of DM or DM screening in the past 12 months. Intervention: Participants at intervention clinics (n=4) will be offered free POC-cHbA1c testing on-site, immediately informed of test results and DM risk, and scheduled for confirmatory oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) if screened positive (i.e. HbA1c≥5.6%). Participants at control clinics will be offered free vHbA1c testing scheduled on a separate day, informed of test results and DM risk via phone, and scheduled for confirmatory OGTT if screened positive. Main outcome measures: Primary outcomes are uptake rate of POC-cHbA1c versus vHba1c testing, and difference in proportion of T2DM detected between intervention and control groups. Secondary outcomes include number-needed-to-screen to detect one more T2DM case. Data analysis: Participants' characteristics and test uptake rates will be summarized by descriptive statistics. Difference in the proportion of T2DM detected between groups will be compared using Chi-squared test. Number-needed-to screen to identify one additional patient with DM will be calculated. Expected results: A greater proportion of T2DM patients will be detected by POC-cHbA1c than vHbA1c due to a higher screening test uptake rate among the studied population.
A double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, single-ascending and multiple-ascending dose trial to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of oral controlled-ileal-release nicotinic acid (CIR-NA) compared to immediate-release nicotinic acid and placebo in healthy subjects and subjects with prediabetes.
People living with prediabetes are advised to lose weight to prevent development of type 2 diabetes by participating in intensive lifestyle interventions (ILI's), such as PreventT2. The PreventT2 program focuses on a low-calorie diet for weight loss. However, many people find it difficult to stick to a low-calorie diet over the long-term. The identification of novel, effective and individualized dietary strategies to produce long-term weight loss is critically important in diabetes prevention. An ILI based on PreventT2 which considers individual preferences, allowing participants to choose among a variety of diets, may result in greater adherence to the diet than a standard PreventT2 intervention. ILIs also need to be available to individuals in a wide range of communities, including Americans living in rural communities, who experience higher rates of obesity and chronic disease, yet have less access to medical care, including programs for diabetes prevention. The investigators plan to develop and carry out a 16-week pilot and feasibility study of a group-based ILI program based on PreventT2 plus choice of dietary strategy (Prevention and Choice for Type2 , PACT2) delivered via videoconference to adults with prediabetes living in rural communities. Successful completion of this project will result in the refinement of an ILI that incorporates personal preferences and is tailored to individuals at high risk for type 2 diabetes living in rural areas where access to such interventions is limited.
