Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate changes in HbA1c levels, diet, weight and waist circumference in Small Steps for Big Changes (SSBC) diabetes prevention program participants two year after program completion compared to before they took part in the program. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Are changes in caloric, carbohydrate, and fibre intake associated with HbA1c levels after SSBC program completion in the short (3- and 6- months), medium (9- and 12- months) and long-term (21- and 24- months)? 2. Are changes in caloric, carbohydrate, and fibre intake associated with anthropometrics (weight and waist circumference) after program completion in the short (3- and 6- months), medium (9- and 12- months) and long-term (21- and 24- months)? 3. Are eating motives associated with dietary intake in individuals with prediabetes? 4. Does participation in SSBC result in changes to eating motives over time? It is hypothesized that: 1. Dietary changes will be associated with HbA1c levels at 3-, 6-,12- and 24- months post-intervention. 2. Dietary changes will be associated with weight and waist circumference at 3-, 6-, and 12-months post-intervention. 3. Participants' eating motives are associated with their dietary intake. 4. Eating motives will change after partaking in SSBC and at 3-, 6-, 12- months post intervention. A total number of 250 individuals with prediabetes will be recruited to take part in a 6-week diet and exercise changes program (SSBC). The program will be administered and facilitated by the community facility trainers at YMCA locations. Participants will be asked to visit Diabetes Prevention Research Group (DPRG) Lab in the University of British Columbia Okanagan Campus for Hba1c (primary outcome), anthropometric measurements and dietary assessment.
Although African traditional fermented foods have been linked to health benefits, research pertaining to the use of uniform products in the control of blood glucose is lacking. This study is aimed at assessing the effectiveness of African traditional fermented foods at reducing blood sugar amongst adult pre-diabetic patients. This study shall comprise a multi-centre parallel (3-arm) randomized controlled trial of a fermented milk product, a fermented cereal-based product, and standard medical care. 252 pre-diabetic adults shall be recruited from 12 treatment facilities located at 4 Counties (3 clinics from each County) across Kenya. The primary outcome is change in glycated haemoglobin. Secondary outcomes shall include, change in weight (BMI), waist circumference, levels of fasting plasma glucose, C reactive protein and lipid profile. Safety as well as the acceptability and experience of fermented foods as a treatment modality for pre-diabetes will additionally be assessed amongst study participants. At each study site, data comprising clinical measurements and responses from self-report questionnaires shall be collected over a follow-up period of 12 weeks. Two focus group discussions shall additionally be held in week 13. Comparison of the mean changes between the three groups shall be carried out using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Pairwise comparisons shall additionally be undertaken using linear mixed regression models.
The term sexual (SD) dysfunction covers conditions that prevent people from having a satisfactory sex life. SD is a frequent and sometimes debilitating complication of mental illness and a known adverse reaction to psycho-pharmacological treatment. SD is also associated with diabetes, a common somatic comorbidity in psychiatric patients. SD is associated with both reduced quality-of-life and reduced treatment adherence, yet SD is far too rarely addressed between the patient and the healthcare professional in clinical consultations. The purpose of the study is to investigate whether targeted education of patients with schizophrenia and diabetes/prediabetes and/or their healthcare professionals in causes and management of SD: - Increases the number of systematic examinations of sexual side effects, - Causes changes in the psycho-pharmacological treatment, and - Reduces the severity or perception of sexual side effects. The study is a multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) with four arms, in which the educational intervention is provided to patients, healthcare professionals, or both groups. The effect of the educational intervention is compared to a non-educated control group. The study is expected to include 192 patients recruited from 16 assertive community treatment centers evenly distributed in four Danish regions. The study is part of an interdisciplinary project named SECRET. The educational intervention was developed in an ethnographic pre-study incorporating stakeholder engagement. Parallel to the present RCT, an ethnographic field study will be carried out to broaden the perspective on the effects of the intervention.
The primary objective is to investigate the effect of apple polyphenol supplementation for 12 weeks on glucose homeostasis in prediabetic individuals. Further, this study has three secondary objectives: 1) to investigate whether daily supplementation at breakfast and dinner with apple polyphenols for 12 weeks affects the rhythm of glucose uptake over the day and reduces fasting glucose levels and postprandial glucose peaks; 2) to determine the effect of daily supplementation with apple polyphenols for 12 weeks on biomarkers of metabolic health; 3) to assess whether daily supplementation with apple polyphenols for 12 weeks alters fecal SCFA concentrations and fecal microbiota composition.
To test these hypotheses, The Investigators will recruit 100 overweight and obese adolescents with HbA1c ranging across the ADA classification spectrum from normal to prediabetes,(nearly 40:normoglycemi, 30: IFG, 30:1GT) measure free-living glucose by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), and assess the relationships among CGM outcomes, HbA1c, and OGTT results (FPG and 2-h glucose). Individual with overt diabetes will be excluded. This will be a 2 visit study. Subjects will be coming to Fortis CDOC after a minimum 8-hour overnight fast. Informed written consent and validated questionnaire in a language known to them (English/Hindi) will be obtained from all participants. Clinical details will be obtained from the case records of the patients. Note of visible markers of insulin resistance (acanthosis nigricans, buffalo hump, double chin, subcutaneous fat pads, skin) Anthropometry, skinfolds & blood pressure will be recorded. Overweight and, obesity will be defined according to predefined guidelines for Asian Indian. Abdominal obesity is defined as waist circumference of ≥ 90 centimetres (cms) in males and ≥ 80 cms in females. A blinded iPro Continuous Glucose Monitor (Medtronic MiniMed, Inc) will be inserted. After a calibration period of 1 hour, fasting laboratory result will be collected: FPG, HbA1c. HbA1c will be done by HPLC (NGSP approved, turbid inhibition immunoassay). Then subjects will consume 1.75 g/kg glucose, maximum 75 g (glucose beverage) and will have a second venepuncture 2 hours later for plasma glucose measurement. While awaiting the 2-hour venepuncture, participants will be provided instructions on CGM device care and calibration. Participants will be instructed to wear the CGM device for a minimum of 72 hours and to not change any of their current dietary or activity habits for the period of CGM wear. They will be trained to use a glucose monitor and collect capillary blood glucose values at least three times daily, prior to meals. Participants will also be asked to complete a simple log of their activity, as well as record dietary intake, and sleep and wake times. The iPro and log-sheet will be returned in person after a minimum of 72 hours of recording time. Investigators and patients will be kept blinded to CGM recordings throughout the study. Daily glycaemic variability will be assessed by the change in the mean amplitude of glucose excursions (MAGE) index, and through the standard deviation (SD) of the mean 24-hour blood glucose concentration. Day-to-day variability will be assessed through the mean of daily differences (MoDD in mg/dL). Daily glycaemic control will be assessed by the mean (M) daily CGM value, as well as by the times (in minutes/day) spent in optimal glycaemic range (70-140 mg/dL) and above predefined hyperglycaemic thresholds (140 ,180 and 200 mg/dL) together with the corresponding area under the curve (AUC) values. In addition, areas under 24-hour glycaemic traces (AUCs) will be analysed to estimate: overall hyperglycaemia (defined asAUC≥100 mg/dL over the full 24-hour period = AUCtotal);postprandial hyperglycaemia (AUC[0-4 h], i.e. for four-hour periods after each of the main meals and, if considered relevant by the core laboratory, after additional snacks = AUCpp); and basal hyperglycaemia, i.e. overall hyperglycaemia - postprandial hyperglycaemia (AUCb)
The goal of this project is to co-design a healthcare provider-based produce prescription program (PPR) in partnership with the community served to improve participants' food security status, diet quality, and cardio-metabolic health outcomes, and to reduce healthcare costs, specifically related to medication use and hospital visits. Novel to this study is an implementation of a community co-designed randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a delayed intervention control group focused of equity (i.e., including the target population in the intervention designed for them) in design, implementation, and evaluation. The project will be conducted in 3 phases. Phase 1 will involve formative research and PPR co-design with community partners and potential participants through listening sessions, partner meetings, and community advisory group sessions to finalize the intervention protocol and components, for which investigators will then request IRB approval. Phase 2 will involve the implementation of a delayed intervention RCT PPR. Data analysis and final reporting will be conducted during Phase 3. Specific Aims: In collaboration with community partners and community members, utilize implementation science strategies to identify and address community, systemic, and structural barriers and assets to co-design a tailored produce prescription program (PPR) intervention that emphasizes health equity in a low-income population served by Griffin Hospital (GH) and/or Griffin Faculty Physicians (GFP). Hypothesis: Collaborating with our community partners on the design and implementation of a PPR will lead to a successful design and implementation of the PPR to our population of focus, as evidenced by satisfaction, retention, experiences of dignity/respect, improved self-efficacy related to fruit and vegetable consumption, and diet quality. Demonstrate improvements, in intervention group vs delayed intervention control group, in food security status, diet quality, and cardio-metabolic outcomes in individuals with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes through implementation of a tailored PPR in a low-income population served by GH and/or GFP. Hypothesis: The PPR designed with community input will improve food security status, diet quality, self-reported health related quality of life and cardio-metabolic outcomes (Hemoglobin A1C, weight/body mass index, lipids, blood pressure), among our intervention participants compared with a control over a 6-month period. Evaluate the impact of a tailored PPR on healthcare cost among low-income participants with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. Hypothesis: The successful implementation of the tailored PPR will lead to a reduction in certain healthcare cost specifically related to medication usage (including dose) and reduction in emergency department visit and/or hospitalization among intervention participants compared with a control over a 6-month period.
The aim of this study is to develop a proof of concept establishing a causal relationship between glycemia improvement through combination of polyphenols-rich botanical extracts or polyphenols-rich botanical extracts associated with white kidney bean extract and chromimum picolinate + zinc bisglycinate with chronic supplementation. Chronic glycemia improvement will be assessed by following the evolution of HbA1c, postprandial glucose and insulin kinetics, and questionnaires. The study design is double blinded randomized with 3 arms and 29 volunteers per arm.
Diabetes/ prediabetes is a substantial problem in India not only because it itself can be associated with morbidities such as coronary artery disease but also because it is a point of importance for the prevention of other diseases. It is not clear if a high protein calorie diet in the Indian population associated with a heightened tendency for prediabetes, metabolic syndrome, atherosclerosis and dysmetabolic state etc. could, besides lifestyle factors, be related to diet, or interaction between the two. The analysis of whole blood transcriptomes and plasma metabolomics profiles may be a potentially useful tool for the assessment of metabolic health status. The proposed study is the first to perform a detailed gene expression profiling with the use of next-generation sequencing technology to assess the differences in molecular mechanisms in the peripheral blood of subjects with prediabetes.
Pre-diabetes is a state characterized by subclinical impairment in glycemic variables that is intermediate between normal glucose tolerance (NGT) and diabetes. There are two frequently used definitions for pre-diabetes, one from the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and another from the World Health Organization (WHO), and both include impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), impaired fasting glucose (IFG), and a calibrated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) of between 5.7 and 6.4%. More than 30 % of the global population demonstrated one or more forms of prediabetic dysglycaemia. In general, approximately 70 % of individuals with IFG and/or IGT can expect to go on to develop clinical type 2 diabetes at some time in the future, and the risk increases with higher HbA1c levels and with higher BMI. Worse still, the prevalence of pre-diabetes is increasing worldwide, with a growing number of patients progressing to diabetes. Identification and treatment of pre-diabetic individuals is therefore crucial. Recent evidence suggested that preventing progression of pre-diabetes to diabetes is possible, and thus efficacious interventions for pre-diabetic individuals are the cornerstone of diabetes prevention. The current paradigm for diabetes prevention in high-risk individuals focuses on achieving moderate weight loss via dietary change and increasing physical activity. However, lifestyle-based weight-loss strategies may initially be successful, but difficult to achieve or maintain. In many cases, pharmacologic treatments may be needed to regulate blood glucose. Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) have verified the efficacy of metformin in preventing insulin resistance syndrome, along with the progression of microvascular diseases and heart attacks. Meanwhile, clinical experience and trial data have yielded almost no significant safety concerns for metformin. Nonetheless, it may cause discomfort for up to 25% of patients who experience diarrhea and nausea subsequent to its administration. For patients with a contraindication or intolerable adverse effects to metformin, Sodium Glucose Cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors with novel mode of action may be another alternative. Large clinical trials have not yet identified a substantial elevation in the frequency of adverse reactions related to SGLT-2 inhibitors when compared to the placebo group. Inhibition of SGLT-2 has some extra advantages for diabetes management over other therapeutic approaches. Firstly, the SGLT-2 is exclusively expressed in renal proximal tubules, and thus selective inhibitors will exert a glucose-lowering effect, independently of insulin secretion. Therefore, SGLT-2 inhibitors can cause weight loss without inducing major hypoglycemic events. Secondly, the cardiovascular benefits of SGLT-2 inhibitors was supported by large clinical trials in the modern context of antiplatelet, statin, and blood pressure management, which may match many of the advantages of metformin. Thirdly, SGLT-2 inhibitors have also been proven to prevent nephropathy for its restriction on albuminuria and inflammatory processes, and to subsequently dampen the deterioration in renal function. Overall, SGLT-2 inhibitors have demonstrated safety in non-diabetic patients, particularly in those afflicted with heart or kidney failure, and have shown to provide additional benefits. At present, the overall effectiveness and safety of SGLT-2 inhibitors in improving metabolism of pre-diabetic patients are still unclear. The purpose of this experiment is to evaluate the effect of SGLT-2 inhibitor on pre-diabetic patients.
