Active clinical trials for "Prediabetic State"

In a randomized controlled trial, the investigators intend to measure the health impact of TRE in patients with metabolic syndrome (with three or more of the following criteria: increased waist circumference, abnormal cholesterol levels, elevated blood pressure, or elevated blood sugar), who habitually eat for more than 14 hours every day. Patients will be randomly assigned to a control group of behavioral nutrition counseling (standard of care) or the intervention group of behavioral nutrition counseling with the addition of adopting a 8-10 hour eating window for 12 weeks (TRE).

A large body of research has demonstrated that intensive lifestyle interventions and metformin are effective treatments to prevent or delay diabetes among high-risk adults, yet neither treatment is routinely used in practice. The Behavioral Nudges for Diabetes Prevention (BEGIN) Trial will test two low-touch interventions designed to motivate adoption of these treatments to prevent diabetes. Given that 38% of U.S. adults have prediabetes, the proposed study has potential for large public health impact by testing pragmatic, scalable, and sustainable approaches based in primary care to promote evidence-based treatment for this common condition.

Pre diabetes (PD) is a term that refers to alterations in blood glucose levels, including impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or both, and increase in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), all this factors involving a higher risk to develop type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The efficacy of pharmacotherapy in the prevention of diabetes in adults with pre diabetes has been demonstrated, the first line of pharmacology treatment is metformin, on the other hand, probiotics administration has been reported to be one of the most widely used approaches to modulate the gut microbiota and subsequently prevent or delay the incidence of T2DM. Probiotics are live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host. Has been demonstrated the hypoglycemic effects of the probiotics in different clinical trials in type 2 diabetes mellitus and pre diabetes, but no yet compared with metformin, for this reason comparing it´s activity against metformin in pre diabetes would provide impact information on a new alternative treatment compared with the standard pharmacological treatment. The aim of the study is evaluate the effect of administration of probiotic versus metformin on glycemic control, insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity in patients with pre diabetes.

Pre diabetes (PD) is a term that refers to alterations in glucose homeostasis, including impaired fasting glucose (IFG), Imparied glucose tolerance (IGT) or both, involving a higher risk to develop type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in 10 years. The efficacy of pharmacotherapy in the prevention of diabetes in adults with prediabetes has been demonstrated, the first line of pharmacology treatment is metformin, on the other hand, the traditional Chinese and Ayurverica medicine offer potential active substances for the treatment of hyperglucemia like berberine. Berberine is an extract with hypoglycemic effects in animal models as well as in clinical trials in type 2 diabetes mellitus even compared to metformin, for this reason comparing it's activity against metformin in prediabetes would provide impact information on a new alternative treatment and compare with the standard pharmacological treatment. The aim of the study evaluate the effect of administration of berberine versus metaformine on glycemic control, insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity in patients with pre diabetes. The investigators hypothesis is that the administration of berberine versus metformin modifies glycemic control, insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion in patients with prediabetes.

This study is to analyze whether the SGLT2-inhibitor empagliflozin or the IL-1 receptor antagonist anakinra may improve postprandial hypoglycemia in subjects with prediabetes.

The management of diabetes and its complications in Reunion island is one of the priority areas of health. Indeed, the impact of diabetes on the health of the Reunion island population is major: the prevalence of diabetes treated in Reunion island is the highest in France (10% of the population), and gestational diabetes is found in 10% of pregnancies. Reunionese diabetics develop severe complications, in particular cardiovascular (strokes, myocardial infarction). This results in 3 times higher mortality linked to diabetes on Reunion Island, in particular among those under 65 years of age. Despite all the screening and prevention programs put in place, the weight of diabetic disease continues to increase in our island, and this is more accelerated than in the other French departments with 4,300 new cases of diabetes / year, 95% of which type 2 diabetics (T2D). The presentation of type 2 diabetic patients in Reunion island also differs from the Metropolis with subjects more often female (56%), thinner and younger at the discovery of diabetes. These data highlight the need to better understand the factors underlying the diabetes "epidemic" in Reunion island. The rise in blood sugar until the onset of diabetes is a continuous phenomenon reflecting the progressive suffering of the organs used to maintain carbohydrate homeostasis. Thus, we talk about fasting hyperglycemia when the fasting blood sugar is between 1.10 and 1.25 g / L (6.1-6.9 mmol / l) and glucose intolerance when the blood sugar 2 hours after taking 75 g of glucose is between 1.40 and 1.99 g / L (7.8-11.0 mmol / l). Subjects with fasting hyperglycemia or glucose intolerance constitute the target population at very high risk of developing diabetes (up to 70% of these subjects). They have an increased risk of developing diabetes at 1 year multiplied by 5 to 10 compared to normoglycemic subjects, hence the name "prediabetic subjects". This great variability in the risk of developing diabetes highlights the presence of associated risk / protective factors which it is important to find in order to adapt the monitoring and management. It is important in Reunion island, in view of the specificities presented by our population, to understand the pre-diabetes / diabetes transition and the risk and protective factors.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common liver diseases, affecting 25% to 30% of the global population and nearly one third of the population in North America. NAFLD is defined as an excessive accumulation of lipids within hepatocytes in the absence of significant alcohol consumption or other causes of chronic liver disease. These patients usually present with hepatic steatosis observed on imaging studies and elevated liver enzymes with clinical features of insulin resistance (IR), including pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, and visceral obesity. The minimum criterion for a histologic diagnosis of NAFLD is >5 percent steatotic hepatocytes in a liver tissue section. The exact mechanism for the development of NAFLD is unclear, although the current evidence indicates that it is likely a complex interplay among neurohormones, intestinal dysbiosis, nutrition, and genetics. IR plays a crucial role in NAFLD pathophysiology mainly by increasing adipocyte lipolysis, resulting in the circulation of more free fatty acids available for hepatic uptake and increasing hepatic de novo lipogenesis. There is yet no approved pharmacologic option for the treatment of NAFLD. Current international guidelines on NAFLD emphasize the importance of lifestyle modifications for all patients with NAFLD and recommend 7-10% of weight loss and a "healthy diet", without suggesting any particular diet. Recent data provide some support for the beneficial role of low carbohydrate (CHO)/high unsaturated fatty acid (both monounsaturated (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated (PUFAs)) dietary patterns for decreasing hepatic steatosis. This proposal addresses this important research gap by leading to advances regarding the impact of a short-term low CHO/high PUFAs/MUFAs dietary intervention on improving hepatic gene expression profiles and lipid composition in individuals with pre-diabetes. The proposed study is unique because all meals and foods will be provided to participants under carefully controlled isocaloric conditions to maintain a constant bodyweight with optimal energy and macronutrient intake control. The primary objective of the proposed research is to investigate how replacement of dietary CHOs by unsaturated fatty acids (both PUFAs and MUFAs) affects liver fat composition and liver transcriptomics in subjects with pre-diabetes.

This single-arm trial of the Cardiovascular Risk Reduction Among People Experiencing Homelessness (CV-Homes) intervention alone (n=8) will test the perception and feasibility of anticipated study procedures.

The aim of this study is to develop a proof of concept establishing a causal relationship between glycemia improvement through combination of polyphenols-rich botanical extracts or polyphenols-rich botanical extracts associated with white kidney bean extract and chromimum picolinate + zinc bisglycinate with chronic supplementation. Chronic glycemia improvement will be assessed by following the evolution of HbA1c, postprandial glucose and insulin kinetics, and questionnaires. The study design is double blinded randomized with 3 arms and 29 volunteers per arm.

Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a serious chronic condition and one of the world's fastest growing health problems. The onset of T2DM is gradual, with most individuals progressing through a state of pre-diabetes, which provides an important window of opportunity for the prevention of T2DM and its complications. This project aims to translate the evidence-based diabetes prevention strategies into community setting and utilize mobile health technology to reduce diabetes risks in Hong Kong.
