Family Diabetes Prevention Program Pilot Study
PreDiabetesOverweight and Obesity7 moreThis study will examine the feasibility and acceptability of a family-oriented augmentation of the Diabetes Prevention Program lifestyle intervention (DPP), called the Family DPP. It will also preliminarily examine adult and child health and health behavior outcomes. The DPP is a 12-month, group-based lifestyle intervention for adults at high-risk for type 2 diabetes, in which adult participants learn skills and strategies to achieve the program's goals of 5% weight loss and 150 minutes/week of moderate-vigorous physical activity. The Family DPP will consist of all elements of the evidence-based DPP, along with augmentations including additional child-focused sessions in which adult participants will learn about principles and strategies for promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors in children, ages 5 through 12 years. Children may participate in certain child-focused sessions, too. The non-randomized pilot feasibility study will consists of 2 arms/groups: 1) the concurrent "control" group, consisting of adults who are enrolled in the DPP; and 2) the "intervention" arm, in which the adult participants will engage in the Family DPP (and children may participate in certain aspects of the Family DPP focused on children). The study will recruit 10-15 adult-child dyads, for the "intervention" groups, and 10-15 adults for the concurrent control group. In addition to data collected from adult participants as a routine part of the DPP, the study will examine additional adult health behaviors and health outcomes and child health outcomes (change in body mass index z-score) and health behaviors at baseline, 6 months and 12 months (program end) among participants in the "intervention" group.

Prediabetes Management
PreDiabetesMetabolic Management Center1 moreSystematically screen the high-risk population of diabetes in Xinqiao district to understand the characteristics of early glucose metabolism changes and pancreatic islet function changes in patients with pre diabetes. Relying on MMC platform and combined with CGM therapeutic monitoring technology to standardize the management of patients with prediabetes, it is expected that the annual conversion rate of diabetes in patients with prediabetes will be 8% (according to the literature, if the pre diabetes population is not intervened, the annual conversion rate of diabetes will be about 14%), which will move forward the management of diabetes and create a new mode of pre diabetes management.
Effect of Very Low Carbohydrate Diet on Glycemic, Metabolic, Glycated and Inflammatory Markers in...
Gestational DiabetesInflammation4 moreUncontrolled Gestational Diabetes Mellitus may leads to maternal and fetal complications. These complications can be avoided by adopting the dietary modifications along with medications. Previous studies suggested that consumption of low Carbohydrate diet improves Gestational Diabetes and related complications. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of very low carbohydrate dietary intervention on glycemic, glycemic, metabolic, glycated and inflammatory markers.
The Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study AD/ADRD Project
DiabetesAlzheimer Disease4 moreThe DPPOS AD/ADRD project will address the overarching question: What are the determinants and the nature of cognitive impairment among persons with pre-diabetes (PreD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), who are a high-risk group for cognitive impairment and represent a large fraction of the United States (US) population? This U19 proposal addresses the National Alzheimer's Project Act goal to "prevent, halt, or reverse AD" in the high-risk group of persons with pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes, who represent over half of the population aged 60 years and older in the US.
High FODMAP Diet With Metformin in preDM
PreDiabetesImpaired Glucose ToleranceThis is a prospective, double blinded, randomised cross over feeding trial examine high or low FODMAP diet in combination with metformin on postprandial glucose responses and gastrointestinal tolerability and gut microbiota profiles. The trial will compare high or low FODMAP diet, each of 10 days duration in combination with 5 days metformin, separated by a washout period of at least 2 weeks.
Low-Calorie Diet in People With Prediabetes/Metabolic Syndrome
ObesityNAFLD3 moreSignificant weight reduction, achieved by low-calorie diet (LCD), will mobilise ectopic fat (visceral and particularly liver fat), improving insulin sensitivity and other metabolic syndrome components, with secondary beneficial effects on cardiac structure and function. This CALIBRATE study (metabolic, multi-organ and effects of low-calorie diet in younger obese patients with pre-diabetes) will compare the effects of a safe and effective 12-month weight management intervention, initially using a low-calorie, liquid replacement diet for 12 weeks, anticipating at least 10% reduction in body weight. The investigators will examine how much the weight loss improves the metabolic abnormalities that precede type 2 diabetes (T2D), and in reversing the pre-clinical/subtle clinical abnormalities of the liver and heart that precede liver and cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study will compare the effects of a safe and effective 12-month weight management intervention, initially using a low-calorie, liquid replacement diet for 12 weeks, followed by a weight maintenance phase. The investigators will examine how much the weight loss improves the metabolic and neuropathic abnormalities that precede and accompany type 2 diabetes (T2D), and in reversing the pre-clinical/subtle clinical abnormalities of the liver and heart that precede liver and cardiovascular disease. In an additional optional sub-study, the investigators will additionally assess how the weight loss impacts upon appetite regulation within the brain with functional MRI (fMRI).
SMART GOALS for Youth With Prediabetes
PreDiabetesAdolescent Obesity5 moreThe goal of this study is to compare the impact of a SMART ((specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, or timely) Goal setting protocol on body weight, metabolic parameters (Hemoglobin A1c, lipids), diet quality and physical activity frequency in obese children with prediabetes in the outpatient setting. The main question is if participants using the SMART Goal Setting Protocol (SGSP) will have a significant reduction. The participants randomized to the study group will receive the SGSP, consisting of the SMART Goal Selection Guide (SGSG) and Weekly Goal Monitoring Tool (WGMT), in BMI Z-score, A1c, and dyslipidemia in 6 months compared to controls.
The Impact of a Mobile Application Designed for Adults at Risk of Developing Diabetes
Diabetes Mellitus RiskPreDiabetesAim: The aim of this study is to determine whether a prediabetes mobile application (PREDIABE-TR) designed in Turkish to inform and advise individuals at risk of developing diabetes about healthy eating and physical exercise can make a difference in the participants' eating according to the Mediterranean Diet Plan, or in their physical activity and other diabetes-related metabolic parameters. Methods: A total of 120 adults at risk of developing diabetes will be assigned into an experimental and a control group by means of Stratified Permuted Block Randomization. The adults in the experimental group will be using the PREDIABE-TR mobile application for a period of 6 months. Over the same period, the control group will use the Turkish Nutrition Guide and the Diabetes Checklists mobile application distributed by the Turkish Ministry of Health. At the end of the six-month period, a review will be made of the diabetes metabolic data, physical activity levels and the Mediterranean Diet eating behaviors. At the same time, an assessment will be made of the control group's use of the mobile application with the help of the Mobile Application Usability Scale. Statistical data will be analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences program. Discussion: The benefits of interventions to promote a healthy lifestyle are evident in terms of preventing a transition from prediabetes to diabetes and maintaining present status. The current novel coronavirus pandemic has clearly shown the advantages of and necessity for remote interventions. In this study, we will attempt to determine whether or not the use of the PREDIABE-TR mobile application can promote a healthy lifestyle and achieve a reduced risk of diabetes. Impact: This study will serve to provide evidence of the practicality, acceptability and cost effectiveness of various applications (such as mobile apps) that can be an alternative to face-to-face consultation and other medical practices. This alternative can be suggested to policy- and decision-makers. Such applications can also be considered preventive strategies.
Efficacy of Physical Exercise on Glucose Control in People With Prediabetes (GLYCEX) - Phase II...
PreDiabetesAim: To assess the efficacy of different frequencies of physical exercise on glycaemic control in adults with prediabetes. Methods: parallel, randomised, controlled, clinical trial will be carried out, with a total of 90 participants. Exercise modality that showed the best glycaemic control in first phase of GLYCEX study (NCT05612698) will be used. Participantds will be randomised in 3 groups: 1) frequency of 5 days/week, 2) frequency of 3 days/week and 3) frequency of 2 days/week. Data collection will be performed at baseline and after 15-weeks of follow up. Sociodemographic data, medication, comorbidity, blood biochemical parameters, blood pressure, anthropometric measurements, body composition, physical activity, sedentary lifestyle, diet, smoking, alcohol consumption, quality of life and sleep questionnaires will be collected. Physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep will be further determined with an accelerometer, and continuous glycaemia will be determined with a glycaemic monitor, both during seven days, in two time points. The main dependent variable will be the reduction of the mean amplitude of glycaemic excursions. The impact of the interventions on health will also be evaluated through gene expression analysis in peripheral blood cells. Discussion: The results of this study will contribute to better understanding of the response of glucose mechanisms to physical exercise in a population with prediabetes as well as improving physical exercise prescriptions for diabetes prevention. Increasing glycaemic control in people with prediabetes through physical exercise offers an opportunity to prevent diabetes and reduce associated comorbidities and health costs.
