Filter by:Initial Recruitment and Sensitization: In this free-living randomized control parallel arm study of 24 weeks of almond intervention, we shall recruit apparently healthy middle aged (age range 40-60 years)prediabetic Asian Indians having fasting blood glucose ≥100mg/dl and <126 mg/dl and /or 2-h plasma glucose ≥140mg/dl and <200mg/dl (after ingestion of 75-gram anhydrous oral glucose).
Although it has been suggested that selenium (Se) increases the risk of T2DM, most evidence comes from observational studies that cannot prove causality. A systematic review assessed randomized clinical trials and found that the risk of T2DM was not greater in those randomized to Se supplementation than in those randomized to placebo. Se is a toxic element in animals and humans, and overexposure to Se has also been linked to detrimental health effects in humans. Previous studies were mostly conducted in Se-sufficient areas. Moreover, the effectiveness of low-dose Se supplementation on participants with elevated glycemic status was unknown. This cross-over, double blinded, randomized controlled trail aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Se supplementation for glucose control among participants with diabetes or prediabetes. Moreover, we also aimed to examine whether selenoprotein P genotypes, Se-related gut microbiota and their related metabolite modified the effectiveness.
This study will investigate the gut microbiota-mediated effects of whole wheat consumption on human health in adults with pre-diabetes. Participants will complete two phases of intervention in random order in which they will consume either whole wheat bread (4 servings) or white bread a day for two weeks prior to collecting specimens (stool, urine, and plasma/serum).
African Americans (AAs) have rates of diabetes mellitus (DM) twice that of Whites and are disproportionately affected by leading risk factors for DM - obesity and low-income. A critical strategy in the battle against DM is the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), an evidence-based intervention that significantly delays or prevents Type 2 diabetes through the promotion of diet change, exercise and modest weight loss. However, weight loss from the DPP among AAs is about half that of White participants, and suboptimal AA attendance is a critical contributor. The investigators propose to conduct a study that will address social determinants (SD) that challenge DPP attendance with underserved African Americans from a safety net hospital. The investigators will examine DPP attendance and weight loss with participants randomized to 3 groups: standard DPP, a culturally-tailored DPP to address acceptability, and a culturally-tailored DPP enhanced to address socioeconomic-related barriers to DPP participation. This novel study is the first to tailor the DPP to address SD cultural and socioeconomic barriers that limit DPP attendance and reduce its effectiveness on outcomes. The proposed multidimensional, SD tailored DPP has great potential to be a feasible and scalable model to reduce DM risks among urban, African Americans and ultimately reduce DM disparities.
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.
Time restricted eating (TRE) is currently the most popular form of intermittent fasting which involves confining the eating window to 8-10 hours (h) and fasting for the remaining hours of the day. TRE is unique in that during the eating window, individuals are not required to count calories or monitor food intake in any way, resulting in high adherence. Accumulating evidence suggests that TRE produces a natural energy deficit of ~350-500 kcal/d. Physical activity in combination with a healthy diet pattern is recommended for older adults. While aerobic type exercise is the most commonly recommended, retention of lean mass via resistance training, especially in older adults, may be more effective at improving mobility, neurological and psychological function, executive and cognitive functioning, and processing speed. TRE combined with physical activity has not been examined in older adults or in people with overweight or obesity. This study holds the potential to 1) decrease body weight 2) improve lean mass 3) improve insulin sensitivity, and 4) improve attention, executive functioning, and processing speed in older adults. The aims of this study will examine the effect of TRE combined with either resistance training or aerobic training on body weight, body composition, metabolic disease risk, and cognition in adults over age 50. It is hypothesized that the TRE combined with resistance training group will see the most significant improvements in body composition, insulin sensitivity and cognition due to lean mass accretion.
This study aims to improve blood glucose and weight in patients with prediabetes and obesity through health education, nutritional supplement interventions, clinical evaluation, and close clinical follow-up.100 patients with prediabetes with obesity were randomly divided into 2 groups: life intervention group, nutritional supplement intervention group. All enrolled participants were recommended for routine diabetes lifestyle education according to the "Expert Consensus on Prediabetes Intervention in Adults in China". The duration of the intervention was 3 months. The investigators aimed to compare the differences in weight, glycosylated hemoglobin, lipids and other indicators of the two groups of included populations before and after the intervention. In addition, the investigators are to explore the effects of nutritional supplement interventions on glycolipid metabolism and body weight in prediabetes with obesity.
Prediabetes is a significant public health problem affecting 88 million U.S. adults. Evidence suggest that the vast majority of people with prediabetes are unaware of having this condition and many are not receiving appropriate care for prediabetes, including referral to evidence-based programs like the Diabetes Prevention Programs (DPP). In the investigator's retrospective cohort study of patients with prediabetes from Johns Hopkins Health Systems, the investigators found that the rates of prediabetes clinical care activities are low. In the investigators' qualitative studies, the investigators found that primary care physician (PCP) barriers include low knowledge about Diabetes Prevention Programs and misperceptions of insurance coverage of these programs and inadequate clinical staff to address prediabetes. Common patient barriers to taking action to prevent diabetes include lack of motivation, time and resources. Based on prior research, comprehensive strategies are urgently needed to improve prediabetes care. Using these findings, the investigators have designed and plan to implement a diabetes prevention clinical pathway which seeks to address some of these common clinician and patient barriers. The investigators hypothesize that the clinical pathway will result in increased clinician screening and intervention and improve patient engagement in diabetes prevention. The investigators will compare results from the intervention clinic compared to a control clinic. If successful, the investigators plan to implement and test the effectiveness of this clinical pathway across the entire health system.
Compare the effects of three evening snacks on morning fasting and postprandial glucose and insulin concentrations in individuals with prediabetes.
The aim of this study is to understand if the timing of exercise around food intake can help improve blood sugar management in pregnant individuals with diabetes.
