Active clinical trials for "Glucose Intolerance"

Development, implementation and evaluation of the effectiveness of lifestyle recommendations for the prevention of type 2 diabetes in rural population of Ukraine

This study will address the following aims: Aim 1: Design a family-centered whole foods diet adapted from the 2020-2025 DGA framework for 8-12 families that include an index parent (25-59 years) with medically managed prediabetes and their biological offspring (6-17 years). Aim 2: Test the feasibility, acceptability, enrollment, retention, and completion rates of a 2-week family-centered whole foods-based diet for 8-12 families that include an index parent (25-59 years) with medically managed prediabetes and their biological offspring 6-17 years. Aim 3: Estimate and compare differences in baseline and 2-week body mass change (e.g., BMI, BMI percentiles and Z-scores, waist circumference) and diet quality for the index parent and their enrolled biological offspring.

The objectives of this study are to assess the effects of a bitter melon product at two doses, compared to control, on indicators of cardiometabolic health among men and women with prediabetes.

Recruitment strategies comparing different strategies.

This is a single site blinded RCT of 920 pregnant women with singleton gestation designed to compare the Carpenter-Coustan and IADPSG criteria for diagnosing gestational diabetes. Maternal metabolic profiles and infant growth will be assessed at randomization and at one year postpartum.

The purpose of this study is to prevent the professional drivers from pre-diabetes to diabetes.

Food products derived from cereal grains constitute a major part of the daily diet of many Americans . For example, a typical Chinese American eats rice about 9.5 times a week on an average. However, most of these foods are derived from refined grain. During the refining process grains are stripped of their bran and germ which results in depletion of several biologically active constituents including fiber, anti-oxidants, phytoestrogens and minerals. From observational studies there is evidence for a protective effect of whole-grain foods with regard to the development of type 2 diabetes. More recently, higher intake of whole grains was also associated with decreases in insulin resistance - a risk factor related to the development of type 2 diabetes. In this randomized study the investigators plan to replicate this beneficial effect of improving insulin sensitivity in patients with pre-diabetes and go a step further by exploring the potential mechanisms by which this benefit may occur. The investigators will assess the effect of consuming a whole-grain-rich diet on levels of advanced glycation endproducts (AGE), RAGE (receptor for AGE) and markers of inflammation and oxidative stress - all of which have been shown to play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus. The investigators will also look for correlations between the levels of these markers with insulin sensitivity to identify potential mechanisms of pathogenesis.

The purpose of this study was to assess whether pinitol improves hidrocarbonated metabolism parameters, and evaluate its effect on oxidative stress and endothelial function in diabetic, impaired and normal fasting glucose subjects. This was a 3-month randomised, controlled-placebo, parallel trial with a three-arm design. Patients were divided into three groups: diabetic (n=40), impaired fasting glucose (n=40) or normal fasting glucose subjects (n=40), receiving 4 g/day of pinitol/placebo.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of feeding frequency on glucose and insulin metabolism and substrate partitioning in impaired glucose tolerant (IGT) men.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major public health problem .Prevalence of vitamin D deficiency is also high i.e. 78-96% in different groups of population in north India. Observational studies find association between low Vitamin D status and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Prediabetes is a condition that progress to diabetes at a rate of 6-10% per year .There is mechanistic support that vitamin D may influence both insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity and subsequently T2DM incidence. In general, cross-sectional and prospective studies support the role of vitamin D in the prevention of T2DM. This study will be a single blind randomized placebo controlled trial to study the effect of oral cholecalciferol in insulin sensitivity and secretion in adults with prediabetes who are also vitamin D insufficient.
