Filter by:There is a growing need to develop pharmacologic interventions to improve metabolic function in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Given that PCOS is a frequent condition and weight loss is essential but difficult to achieve, it is important to study if the effect on body weight reported in other studies can be confirmed in a selected population of hyperandrogenic patients, especially with medications currently approved for weight reduction. High dose liraglutide alone results in significant weight reduction in obese women without PCOS. There is limited data on weight loss with high dose liraglutide in non-diabetic females with PCOS treated with this agent . Studies on the effect of anti-obesity medication combined with lifestyle changes on body weight and composition and androgen excess in obese women diagnosed with PCOS are lacking. The investigators aim to elucidate the most efficacious weight reduction regime in obese PCOS women. The investigators further hope to determine which treatment(s) addressing the multifaceted disturbances of this disorder in patients with PCOS and obesity emerges as the preferable therapy.
A multicentred, randomized, open study to evaluate the efficacy of metformin in preventing Diabetes.
The investigators conducted a pilot study to determine if telephone counseling, in a health care setting that routinely assesses physical activity of its members, is a feasible approach to improve physical activity among patients with diabetes and prediabetes. The investigators built on an existing innovation at Kaiser Permanente, in which physical activity is assessed at every outpatient visit. The primary aims were to (1) pilot study elements, including database identification of patients; recruitment, training and engagement of health care providers; patient recruitment; data collection procedures; and a 24-week intervention, and (2) to assess feasibility and obtain feedback from key stakeholders on the approach.
This study will evaluate a VA MyHealtheVet Secure Messaging intervention that uses different intervention messaging strategies designed to increase engagement in behaviors to prevent type 2 diabetes. The investigators will enroll 144 eligible Veterans into a 12-week MyHealtheVet Secure Messaging intervention. Eligible Veterans include those who are currently using MyHealtheVet secure messaging, meet inclusion/exclusion criteria, and have received an HbA1c test within the last 6 months that meets the ADA/CDC classification for prediabetes. Study participants will be surveyed about their engagement in behaviors to prevent TDM2 and mediators of this engagement. After completing a baseline survey, participants will be randomly assigned to receive different novel presentations of information about ways to prevent T2DM through both Secure Messaging and US Mail. The investigators will test the 5 presentations that each: (1) represent an innovative approach from behavioral economics or health psychology with great promise to increase engagement in behaviors to prevent T2DM among patients with prediabetes; and (2) have not been tested in this setting.
This study evaluates the effect of different doses of metformin on the function of endothelium in people with pre-diabetes. One group of the patients will receive metformin in dose: 1500 mg, the second one will receive 3000 mg/day. The parameters from healthy volunteers will be taken only at the study beginning to compare the test results with the parameters from patients with pre-diabetes. This group will be not treated with metformin (no intervention)
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of a polyherbal dietary supplement (Designs for Health - GlucoSupreme™ Herbal) on markers of glycemic control and other structure/function outcomes among a sample of prediabetic adults. A 12-week randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial will be conducted to achieve the purpose of this study. The research team hypothesizes that GlucoSupreme™ Herbal will improve a variety of validated markers of glycemic control that are commonly used in clinical practice more effectively than placebo.
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the impact of augmented care at the worksite through a lifestyle intervention for diabetes prevention among employees with prediabetes who were slower to respond to a standard diabetes prevention intervention.
The primary aim is to pilot test a weight-loss intervention for Marshallese adults, referred to throughout as Healthy Bodies Healthy Souls (HBHS). The HBHS intervention includes the Wholeness, Oneness, Righteousness, Deliverance Diabetes Prevention Program Lifestyle Intervention (WORD DPP) implemented at the individual level, with the additional enhancement of working with Marshallese churches to implement church-level changes to support the individual behavioral intervention of the WORD DPP. We will then compare changes in outcomes with participants in the churches who were exposed to the policy changes but did not participate in the WORD DPP, and with those enrolled in a separate DPP trial who participated in the WORD DPP but were not exposed to church-level policy changes.
Evidence-based programs to prevent diabetes among high-risk individuals are less effective among those who also have mental health needs. This study involves developing and pilot testing the first adaptation of the landmark Diabetes Prevention Program lifestyle intervention to simultaneously treat prediabetes and elevated mental health symptoms. This project has large potential to impact public health, given that more than half of the U.S. adult population has either of these conditions, and is at risk for developing comorbid diabetes and mental illness.
The aim of this 2-phase, randomized clinical trial will be to examine the effects of two behavioral weight loss interventions on weight loss. This study will be conducted in 200 overweight or obese prediabetic individuals recruited from community-based settings.. Phase 1 will include 6-months of active intervention. Phase 2 will consist of 6-months of maintenance and observation. Measurements will occur at screening, baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months. Participants will be randomized with equal allocation to 2 groups: (1) a standardized behavioral weight loss intervention with a one-size-fits-all regimen that includes counseling about restriction of calories and calories from fat, and physical activity, delivered using mHealth technology, or (2) all of the elements of mHealth, plus personalized dietary recommendations to minimize glycemic response to meals. Participants will be required to attend 6 separate visits over both phases of the study.
