Filter by:Fruit and vegetable (FV) intake decrease the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and is important for T2D management but is difficult to achieve in adequate amounts for those with a low- income. Produce Prescription (PPR) projects are an intervention aligned with the social determinants of health that help individuals with a low-income purchase FV by providing an incentive. The impacts of PPR projects on populations with T2D and a low-income is less understood. The Multi-level evaluation of Produce Prescription Projects on type 2 diabetes- related outcomes: A pathway to policy change by addressing social determinants of health study will determine the impact of PPR projects on hemo-globin A1c (HbA1c; primary outcome), fruit and vegetable intake (FVI), food security, and related behaviors among a diverse sample of PPR participants diagnosed with T2D and low-income (Aim 1), and will conduct a cost and cost-effective analysis of PPR projects (Aim 2), and a mixed methods process evaluation to understand feasibility and best practices for PPR projects for people with/at risk for T2D (Aim 3). We hypothesize that PPR participants will see greater declines in HbA1c and improvements in other health and food-related behaviors, compared to the Standard of Care. We will recruit five GusNIP PPR projects, whose healthcare partners serve patients with T2D, and who have participating and matched non-participating control populations. We will collect data at baseline and post-intervention using validated, survey modules, clinical measures, and cost data. Five types of data will be used for this project: 1.Health and healthcare utilization data from the EHR or point-of-care, 2.Participant survey data, 3.Qualitative data, 4.Program cost data (NOT human subjects), and 5.Process data (NOT human subjects). Information extracted from medical records includes HbA1c, weight, and blood pressure and will be collected at 2 time points (months 0,6), following their standard of care protocols. Staff will also extract healthcare utilization data (e.g., #primary care and #ER visits) from the EHR at each of site. Primary analyses will use an intention to treat strategy. Analysis will include a linear mixed-effect model to the HbA1c with an interaction between group and time to examine whether there is a difference in HbA1c trajectories between intervention and control groups. Similar models will be used to determine impact on each of the secondary outcomes (e.g., healthcare utilization, BMI).
Postprandial glycemia (PPG) is a relevant determinant of glucose control in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Epidemiological and pathophysiological studies indicate that PPG is a better risk predictor for cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality than fasting plasma glucose. Therefore, both fasting and postprandial glycemia should be targeted to achieve optimal glycemic control and, thus, prevent or reduce the risk of diabetes complications. Post-prandial glucose response (PGR) cannot be predicted based solely on the meals' carbohydrate content. Recent research using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems has identified different patterns of PGR to a standard meal among both healthy people and individuals with type 1 diabetes. Different contributors to the PGR have emerged, including genotype, hormonal and metabolic factors, phenotype, gut microbiota composition, background diet, sleep habits, physical activity levels. The present project aims at exploring the PGR in a real-life setting in a cohort of people with T2D, and identifying person-specific factors associated with different postprandial glucose patterns. To this purpose, 144 individuals with T2D on treatment with diet alone or diet plus metformin will be characterized for their anthropometric, metabolic, and gut-microbiome features and will undergo a one-week observational period through CGM system, while properly recording their food intake, physical activity, and sleep habits. A mixed-nutrient standardized meal will be consumed at home in two occasions by each participant to investigate the intra-individual variability of the PGR. Moreover, in a subgroup of participants (n=60), divided according to anthropometric and metabolic features, hormonal and metabolic response to the standardized meal will be evaluated at the hospital, to explore the contribution of different T2D phenotypes to the PGR. A further step will be developing a prediction algorithm of PGR based on the intra- and inter-individual factors shown to influence postprandial glucose, able to further optimize the management of T2D with precision therapeutic strategies.
Lower attainment of cardiovascular health (CVH), indicated by the American Heart Association's Life's Simple 7 (LS7; physical activity, diet, cholesterol, blood pressure, body mass index, smoking, glycemia) and Life's Essential 8 (LE8; LS7+sleep) metrics, is a major contributor to Black men having the shortest life-expectancy of any non-indigenous race/sex group. Unfortunately, a paucity of literature exists on interventions aimed at improving CVH among Black men. The team of clinician scientists and community partners co-developed a community-based lifestyle intervention titled Black Impact: a 24-week intervention for Black men with less-than-ideal CVH (<4 LS7 metrics in the ideal range) with 45 minutes of weekly physical activity, 45 minutes of weekly health education, and engagement with a health coach, group fitness trainer, and community health worker. Single-arm pilot testing of the intervention (n=74) revealed high feasibility, acceptability, and retention and a 0.93 (95% confidence interval: 0.40, 1.46, p<0.001) point increase in LS7 score at 24 weeks. Secondary outcomes included improvements in psychosocial stress (i.e., perceived stress, depressive symptoms), patient activation, and social needs. Thus, robustly powered clinical trials are needed to determine the efficacy of Black Impact and to evaluate the underlying interpersonal and molecular pathways by which Black Impact improves psychosocial stress and CVH. Thus, the investigators propose a randomized, wait-list controlled trial of Black Impact. This novel, community-based intervention to provide a scalable model to improve CVH and psychosocial stress at the population level and evaluate the biological underpinnings by which the intervention mitigates cardiovascular disease risk. The proposed study aligns with American Heart Association's commitment to addressing CVH equity through innovative, multi-modal solutions.
The goal of this study is to explore facilitators of and barriers to medication adherence within the context of local social determinants of health (SDOH) that are not available in the EHR. for American Indians with type 2 diabetes. The main aim is: Identify facilitators of and barriers to medication adherence within the context of SDOH, Electronic Health Record (EHR) derived medication adherence [HbA1c < 7 (at target); HbA1c >7% to ≤9% (above target); and HbA1c > 9% (uncontrolled)].
People with type 2 diabetes are at risk of complications linked with high blood sugars and these are monitored for in healthcare appointments. However, people with type 2 diabetes commonly suffer with additional health conditions that can affect the liver, heart and their breathing while sleeping. These conditions are thought to be caused by a similar underlying process that causes type 2 diabetes, as a result they are very common in people type 2 diabetes. Despite this they are not part of the routine health check for these people. Worryingly, current research suggests that the risk for developing these health problems, and direct complications of type 2 diabetes, can start at blood sugar levels below the threshold of type 2 diabetes. In a group of people said to have prediabetes. These people do not currently undergo annual healthcare appointments to monitor for these health complications or other linked health conditions. This study aims to pilot a new style of clinic to address these issues. The investigators will perform a multi-morbidity assessment, where they will look for several different health problems at the same time. The investigators will be looking at health problems linked with high blood sugars, this will include problems with the liver, heart, nerves, eyes, and participants breathing overnight. They have developed a clinic visit which uses questionnaires, simple examination techniques and modern devices to try and identify these health problems. An important part of healthcare is the burden it places on people with health problems, with this in mind the investigators will be giving the people involved in their study a voice to try and direct future research and healthcare, the investigators will ask them to provide feedback on their experience in taking part in the study and what their thoughts are in undergoing a longer but more comprehensive health appointment.
The hypothesis for this study is that oral Semaglutide, a GLP-1Ra, has a positive effect on the balance between build-up and degradation as well as the strength of the bones in men and women aged 50-85 years with type 2 diabetes and an increased risk of bone fractures. Treatment involves once daily oral GLP-1Ra semaglutide or matching placebo for 52 weeks. The effect will be measured by bone markers in blood samples, bone scans, bone tissue and bone marrow tests (bone marrow aspiration and biopsy), physical activity assessed by a questionnaire, and direct bone strength measured by microindentation at the start and end of the study.
The purpose of this project is to develop, and pilot test an accessible and inclusive medical nutrition therapy and diabetes self-management education program for people with Type 2 Diabetes and physical disabilities.
The main purpose of this study is to assess efficacy and safety of orforglipron compared with oral semaglutide in participants with Type 2 diabetes and inadequate glycemic control with metformin.The study will last around 61 weeks.
This study will look at control of blood sugar levels in persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus currently on chronic dialysis. Researchers will compare blood sugar levels in people taking semaglutide to people taking "dummy" medicine. The treatment participants get will be decided randomly. Participants will need to inject the study medication once a week. The study will last for 1 year and a month. Participants will be asked to wear a sensor that measures blood sugar levels for a period of 10 days at five different time points during the study.
Program AACTIVE will enroll 80 African American/Black men with type 2 diabetes and depression. Participants will be randomized to either the intervention arm or the control arm. Participants in the intervention arm will receive talk therapy and physical activity sessions over 12 weeks. Talk therapy and physical activity sessions will take place via a video conferencing platform. There will also be 3 in-person health assessments including baseline, at 12-weeks and 3-month follow up. The investigators are interested in seeing if physical activity and talk therapy improve A1C outcomes and depression symptoms for participants.
