Filter by:The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate the impact of zinc supplementation on fasting glucose levels, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and other indices of glucose homeostasis in individuals with prediabetes. The investigators hypothesize that prediabetic subjects receiving zinc will demonstrate a greater decrease in HbA1c and blood glucose compared to prediabetic subjects receiving placebo. Specific Aim: Conduct a prospective, double-blind randomized clinical trial comparing the effects of 12 months of zinc supplementation (zinc gluconate 30 milligram [mg] per day) versus placebo on glucose homeostasis. Based upon expected effect size and power calculations, and anticipating a 20% drop-out rate, the investigators will study 200 prediabetic subjects (100 per group) using a 1:1 randomization design. HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose, and other measures will be obtained at 0, 6, and 12 months and will be compared between zinc supplementation and placebo groups.
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of APHD-012 (distal jejunal-release dextrose [Aphaia technology, AT]) in participants with pre-diabetes (pathological Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT)).
This randomized controlled trial (RCT) will determine if access to a voucher for healthy foods reduces blood sugar levels among people living on a low income who have type 2 diabetes or elevated blood sugar.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is one of the fastest growing public health problems in developed and developing countries and imposes a large financial burden on health-care systems. Preventing, delaying, and managing diabetes should be a priority for health-care systems. Nationally, 38% of adults have prediabetes, with more than 80% of people with prediabetes being unaware of their condition. In Maryland, an estimated 10.5% of adults report prediabetes, and 33.7% of Baltimore City residents have obesity, an important risk factor for prediabetes. The BMDRP aims to increase the capacity of BMDRP hospitals and community partners to offer DPP and DSMT directly in communities and will also increase the number of referrals into these programs. Successful enrollment and completion of DPP has demonstrated reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes for individuals with pre-diabetes. However, limited data exist on changes in body composition and liver fat in individuals completing DPP. Individuals with pre-diabetes often have obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. We will evaluate for changes in body fat and liver fat in individuals completing the DPP program.
Obesity and its metabolic complications are leading causes of global morbidity and mortality. Evidence is mounting that inappropriate timing of food intake contributes to obesity. Specifically, late eating is associated with greater weight gain and metabolic syndrome. However, the mechanism by which late eating harms metabolism is not fully understood but may be related to mis-timing of food intake in relation to the body's endogenous circadian rhythm. Conversely, harmonization of eating timing with endogenous circadian rhythm may optimize metabolic health. In this study the investigators will use gold-standard methods of characterizing circadian rhythm in humans to examine the metabolic impacts food timing relative to endogenous circadian rhythm.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare a two-week course of diazoxide (at two different doses) and placebo in people with overweight/obesity and insulin resistance (IR) with, or at high risk for, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The main questions it aims to answer are how mitigation of compensatory hyperinsulinemia with diazoxide affects parameters of glucose and lipid metabolism (how people with IR and NAFLD respond to lowering high insulin levels so that the investigators can see what happens to how the liver handles fat and sugar). Participants will: - Take 27 doses of diazoxide (at 1 mg per kg of body weight per dose [mpk] or 2 mpk) or of placebo, over 14 days - Take 32 doses of heavy (deuterated) water (50 mL each) over 14 days - Have blood drawn and saliva collected after an overnight fast on four mornings over the two-week study period - Consume their total calculated daily caloric needs as divided into three meals per day - Wear a continuous glucose monitor for the two-week study period Researchers will compare fasting blood tests at intervals during the study period in participants randomized (like the flip of a coin) to diazoxide 1 mpk, diazoxide 2 mpk, or placebo, to see how the drug treatment affects plasma glucose, serum insulin, and serum lipid parameters (triglycerides, free fatty acids, and apolipoprotein B). They will also consume heavy (deuterated) water to assess de novo lipogenesis (building of new fatty acids by the liver).
This is a single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled (crossover) clinical study designed to investigate the specific dose-response impact of insulin infusion rate (IIR) on blood glucose levels during a pancreatic clamp study. The investigators will recruit participants with a history of overweight/obesity and evidence of insulin resistance (i.e., fasting hyperinsulinemia plus prediabetes and/or impaired fasting glucose and/or Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance [HOMA-IR] score >=2.73), and with evidence of, or clinically judged to be at high risk for, uncomplicated non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Participants will undergo two pancreatic clamp procedures in which individualized basal IIR are identified, followed in one by maintenance of basal IIR (maintenance hyperinsulinemia, MH) and in the other by a stepped decline in IIR (reduction toward euinsulinemia, RE). In both clamps the investigators will closely monitor plasma glucose and various metabolic parameters. The primary outcome will be the absolute and relative changes in steady-state plasma glucose levels at each stepped decline in IIR.
Prediabetes is a high-risk state for diabetes development, lifestyle modification is the cornerstone of diabetes prevention. Two novel types of intermittent fasting recently have received more attention: the 5:2 diet and time-restricted eating (TRE). TRE requires individuals to eat in a specified number of hours per day (typically 4 to 10 hours) without energy intake restriction. The 5:2 diet involves 5 feast days and 2 fast days per week; participants eat ad libitum without restriction on feast days while 25% of energy needs (approximately 500-800 kcal per day) are consumed on fast day. This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the effect of TRE and the 5:2 diet on glucose homeostasis and cardiometabolic risk factors in prediabetes over 6 months compared to usual health care.
Introduction: Type 2 diabetes represents a growing health risk for the society. An easy-access and low-cost intervention for the whole family will be developed to help families with (at risk of) type 2 diabetes maintain diabetes-frendly everyday life. The intervention will be tested for feasibility. Methods: Following the framework for developing and conduct of complex interventions, the intervention will be developed on the basis of current evidence on family-based diabetes treatment and opinions of families with type 2 diabetes. The feasibility test will have embedded mixed methods one-group study design. Participants: Families will answer a brief screening questionnaire. Families (n=25) that consist of at least one adult with (in risk of) type 2 diabetes living in the same household with at least one 5-18 yeard old child, and at least one family member living sedentary lifestyle, will participate. Intervention: The 3-months long hybrid telehealth/face-to-face intervention with weekly 1-hour contacts with health professionals will deliver diabetes education and tailored support to implement more physical activity and healthy meals in the family everyday life. A 3-months long supervised maintenance phase with monthly professional contacts will be included. Outcomes: Feasibility evaluation will be conducted using quantitative (quantifiable) and qualitative research methods. The feasibility data will be the primary outcomes of the study, collected and evaluated using the predefined research progression criteria applied the green-amber-red method. Sociodemography and secondary outcomes, such as physical activity, dieting habits, daily occupations, occupational balance, health and quality of life will be assessed at baseline and 3 and 6-months follow-ups. The quantitative results will be comprehended through qualitative data from participant interviews which will nuance the feasibility evaluation. Analysis: Relevant statistical methods and qualitative analysis method will be applied. Expected results: The intervention will help families achieve sustainable lifestyle changes, e.g., diabetes stabilized blood glucose in adults with type 2 diabetes, increased physical activity time and improved dieting habits, for better family health and well-being. Ethics and dissemination: The trial does not have any obvious health risks for the participants. All the results - significant, non-significant and/ or inconclusive - will be reported.
