Active clinical trials for "Hyperglycemia"

Aim of the study is to investigate the effect of two different dosages of milk peptides on postprandial blood glucose profile in prediabetic subjects compared to placebo. This will be investigated in a cross-over double blind randomized placebo controlled study design. Additionally, long term effects on glucose status, insulin sensitivity and postprandial blood glucose profile will be investigated in a follow up 6-week open label phase with the low dose only.

Post-prandial hyperglycemic excursions induce a cascade of deleterious effects on the body, including increased inflammation, production of reactive oxygen species, and impaired cardiovascular function. Ingestion of an exogenous oral ketone supplement blunts hyperglycemia in response to an oral glucose tolerance test. Accordingly, it is hypothesized that exogenous ketone supplement ingestion prior to a meal could be an effective strategy for blunting postprandial hyperglycemia. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of short-term (14-days) pre-meal exogenous ketone supplementation on glucose control, cardiovascular function, inflammation, and oxidative stress in individuals at an elevated risk of type 2 diabetes.

The study will assess if Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) represents a better tool to guide healthcare providers in adjusting insulin therapy, by providing a more complete 24-hour assessment of glucose values compared to Point of Care (POC) testing, during hospitalization and after hospital discharge in general medicine and surgery patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) and Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).

The overall objective of this study is to explore the glycemic index and glycemic load induced by an alcohol-free beer with modified composition (including almost full fermentation of carbohydrates and the addition of isomaltulose and a resistant maltodextrin), as well as its postprandial metabolic response, compared to the effect induced by: a) an alcohol-free beer with a usual composition; b) an alcohol-free beer with modified composition (including almost full fermentation of carbohydrates and the addition of a resistant maltodextrin). This study includes two cross-over sub-studies recruiting healthy participants. In the first one, 10 healthy volunteers receive 25 g of carbohydrates coming from: regular alcohol-free beer (RB), alcohol-free beer with almost completely eliminated maltose and enriched with isomaltulose (2.5 g/100 mL) and a resistant maltodextrin (0.8 g/100 mL) (IMB), alcohol-free beer with the same maltose removal enriched with resistant maltodextrin (2.0 g/100 mL) (MB) and glucose solution. In the second study, 20 healthy volunteers are provided with 50 g of carbohydrates from white bread and water and the same meal plus 14.3 g of carbohydrates coming from: RB, IMB, MB and extra white bread. Blood is sampled at baseline and for 2 h, every 15 min, after ingestion.

In type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, patients receive insulin doses if they consume specific amounts of carbohydrates. Currently, insulin is not being administered for consumption of protein although studies in adults show that consuming about 75 grams of protein causes elevation in post prandial glucose levels and might need insulin coverage. We are proposing that this amount is different for kids and it might vary based on weight, age, pubertal stage, HbA1C or other factors. This has not been studied in children before, and it will provide information about the amount of protein in the diet that can cause elevation in post prandial glucose.

The main objective of this study is to investigate the optimal anesthesia for obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery in the strategies of positive pulmonary ventilation, tracheal intubation technique, hemodynamic monitoring, and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) prophylaxis, as the followed: To evaluate the effectiveness and adverse effect of intravenous dexamethasone for PONV prophylaxis To determine the safe inspiratory pressure to prevent the occurrence of gastric insufflation during facemask ventilation using point-of-care ultrasonography of antrum To compare the effectiveness and safety between video intubating stylet and video laryngoscope in the placement of tracheal tubes To apply minimally invasive CO monitors in guiding goal-directed hemodynamic therapy and assess its impact on major complications and postoperative recovery

Background: Hyperglycemia is a risk factor to disease development, namely, diabetes mellitus. The blood glucose level management, particularly on post-prandial period has an important role in the prevention of different diseases. Ginger is a specie that has been demonstrated a benefit effect on glycaemia on diabetes. Aim: The aim of this study was 1) to investigate the effects of ginger infusion in the glycaemic response in nondiabetic adults; 2) to evaluate total phenolic content the antioxidant activity of Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) aqueous extracts. Methodology: 24 nondiabetic subjects were randomly allocated into two groups: intervention group (GI; n=15) and control group (GC; n=15). An oral glucose solution (OGTT) and an OGTT following ginger extract solution were administrated in control and intervention groups, respectively. Blood glucose levels were measurement at fasting and after 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after interventions in both groups. Total phenolic content and flavonoids compounds determination of the aqueous ginger extract was determined according to Prabha method. Antioxidant activity was also measured through ABTS method and free radicals inhibition capacity. Repeated Measures ANOVA of mixed type and independent samples t-test were used in statistical analysis.

The study evaluates the effects of Helichrysum italicum and Helichrysum Arenarium on different components of the metabolic syndrome. The components of metabolic syndrome will be measured at baseline and four weeks after daily consumptions of either Helichrysum italicum or either Helichrysum Arenarium, and after two weeks of washout. In addition, stool samples will be also taken at baseline and after four weeks of daily consumtion of either Helichrysum italicum or either Helichrysum Arenarium.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of daily supplementation of hydrolyzed ginseng extract(HGE) on glycemic status in subjects with impaired fasting glucose(IFG).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the continuous glucose monitoring system the FreeStyle Navigator® (Abbott, Diabetes Care) in critically ill patients by comparing subcutaneous measuring with the current standard of arterial measuring by a point of care glucometer.
