Active clinical trials for "Glucose Intolerance"

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theories assert that body constitution and meridian energy are the foundations for disease prevention. However, few studies have incorporated TCM concepts into risk factors. This study aimed to examine the association between body constitution and meridian energy in individuals with prediabetes. We conducted a matched case-control study that included 60 individuals with prediabetes. Finally, the reseachers have found that body constitution may be a risk factor fpr progression to type 2 diabetes mellitus in individuals with prediabetes.

The aim is to describe the association of glucose tolerance measured with three different tools (continuous glucose measurement system - CGMS, oral glucose tolerance testing - OGTT and optional intravenous glucose tolerance testing -IVGTT) with parameters out of lung function and anthropometric parameters in patients with cystic fibrosis.

Bloating, gas, pain and diarrhea are common complaints. Routine investigations are negative; these patients are labeled as IBS. In these patients, whether testing for carbohydrate malabsorption or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is useful is unclear. Investigators aim to assess the prevalence of SIBO, fructose and lactose intolerance, the usefulness of breath tests, and predictive value of pre-test symptoms.

This study is a prospective cross-sectional study. The investigators enroll participants form the department of endocrinology and of metabolism, China Medical University Hospital. In total, 400 participants , composed of 100 of type 2 diabetes , 100 of pre-DM and 200 healthy participants. The investigators apply tongue diagnosis system, pulse wave analysis, body constitution questionnaires, and nailfold capillaroscopy to assess the differences of TCM diagnosis. After collecting the tongue coating and analyzing the metabolite signals with a flying mass spectrometer, The investigators collect the data to establish metabolite pattern and biomarkers. This study aims to identify the clinical symptoms of DM with TCM diagnostic tools and investigate the pattern difference and treatment for DM. Furtherly, the investigators add mass spectrometer to analyze the metabolites of tongue coating, the investigators propose to establish a metabolite pattern and biomarker to identify important biological indicators of DM.

The overall objective of this study is to increase the number of dark skin tone individuals in the data set and evaluate if this increase in dark skin tone data has an impact on the accuracy of the SCOUT DS Diabetes Risk Score (DRS).

Impaired glucose tolerance is a metabolic state between normal glucose homeostasis and diabetes. Previously, prospective studies have shown higher progression rates from IGT to diabetes in other country. But There is no prospective-multicenter based reports in Korea. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to estimate the progression rates to impair glucose regulation and diabetes in the Korean population-based Korea national Diabetes program.

Screening for the risk factors of type 2 diabetes is a part of the primary prevention approach. Pre-diabetes is one of the modifiable risk factors; however, it remains under-diagnosed. Our aim was to analyse the attitudes of general practitioners in Lorraine towards prediabetes

Early detection of (pre)diabetes, including impaired glucose tolerance is currently deficient because the best accepted standard, an oral glucose tolerance test (oGTT), is not feasible in a setting of screening or broad case-finding and other current methods lack in sensitivity. A previously reported study, and analysis of retrospective skin autofluorescence (AF) data, suggests that noninvasive skin AF may offer an alternative for detection of (pre)diabetes. The objective is to test the validity of a decision tree based on skin autofluorescence, and some simple clinical characteristics, as a detection tool for diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance. Sensitivity and specificity, positive and negative predictive value of this skin AF based decision model will be compared to those of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), and to two short questionnaires (Finnish Findrisk, and Cambridge score). Study design: Skin AF, HbA1c and an oGTT (including an FPG) will be simultaneously performed in at least 120 persons with the characteristics described in the following paragraph. A Findrisk and Cambridge questionnaire will also be collected.

The goal of this study is to determine whether markers of vascular inflammation (such as c-reactive protein) can predict endothelial dysfunction (as measured by flow-mediated dilation) in postmenopausal women with glucose intolerance compared to normal controls.

Glucose intolerance is frequent and serious complication of corticosteroid therapy. the aim of the study is to examine the hypothesis that co treatment with rosiglitazone can prevent glucose intolerance in patients treated with corticosteroids.
