Active clinical trials for "Prediabetic State"

1 in 3 adults have prediabetes in the United States, and many of them will eventually develop diabetes, which has significant public health and economic costs. However, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and prediabetes are heterogeneous groups with different pathological mechanisms, dysfunctions in different processes, and varied disease trajectories. Patient stratifications into subtypes and personalized nutrition interventions are highly needed but not yet available. Metabolic responses (e.g., glucose excursion) after food intake provide a direct observation of personal metabolic control and its association with T2D. The investigators hope to learn how prediabetes and type 2 diabetes evolve, and specifically what food or exercise can do to mitigate blood sugar response.

Currently, an estimated 3.9 million Malaysians continue to live with diabetes with many more who live with prediabetes. Diabetes was the one of the leading causes of death in the Malaysia and the leading cause for kidney failure, lower-limb amputations, and adult-onset blindness. Heart disease and stroke are two to four times more likely for individuals with diabetes. The use of mHealth or mobile health application can reduce blood sugar among individuals with prediabetes but also prevent a later occurrence of diabetes. In this study, the investigators aim to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a digital health supported pre-diabetes management program based in an urban community pharmacy setting

Prediabetes is a significant public health problem affecting 88 million U.S. adults. Evidence suggest that the vast majority of people with prediabetes are unaware of having this condition and many are not receiving appropriate care for prediabetes, including referral to evidence-based programs like the Diabetes Prevention Programs (DPP). In the investigator's retrospective cohort study of patients with prediabetes from Johns Hopkins Health Systems, the investigators found that the rates of prediabetes clinical care activities are low. In the investigators' qualitative studies, the investigators found that primary care physician (PCP) barriers include low knowledge about Diabetes Prevention Programs and misperceptions of insurance coverage of these programs and inadequate clinical staff to address prediabetes. Common patient barriers to taking action to prevent diabetes include lack of motivation, time and resources. Based on prior research, comprehensive strategies are urgently needed to improve prediabetes care. Using these findings, the investigators have designed and plan to implement a diabetes prevention clinical pathway which seeks to address some of these common clinician and patient barriers. The investigators hypothesize that the clinical pathway will result in increased clinician screening and intervention and improve patient engagement in diabetes prevention. The investigators will compare results from the intervention clinic compared to a control clinic. If successful, the investigators plan to implement and test the effectiveness of this clinical pathway across the entire health system.

Existing literature investigating the impact of smoking cessation on new-onset diabetes mellitus (DM) risk is conflicting. Combing the need for smoking cessation and body weight self-management to prevent the progression of prediabetes stage into DM, with the public implementation of the second-generation cessation program, we aimed to study the effectiveness of the Fight Tobacco and Stay Fit (FIT2) program aiming at promoting smoking cessation and restricting post-cessation weight gain (PCWG) together in prediabetic smokers regarding long-term glycemic and DM-related health outcomes.

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. Pre-diabetes is a prevalent and potentially reversible condition, 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 a community setting to reduce diabetes risks in Hong Kong Chinese people with pre-diabetes .

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of a novel menopause hormone therapy on blood sugar (glucose) and blood and liver fats (lipids) in obese menopausal women Veterans.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of metformin pretreatment on reproductive outcomes in infertile women with prediabetes.

People with type 2 diabetes are at risk of complications linked with high blood sugars and these are monitored for in healthcare appointments. However, people with type 2 diabetes commonly suffer with additional health conditions that can affect the liver, heart and their breathing while sleeping. These conditions are thought to be caused by a similar underlying process that causes type 2 diabetes, as a result they are very common in people type 2 diabetes. Despite this they are not part of the routine health check for these people. Worryingly, current research suggests that the risk for developing these health problems, and direct complications of type 2 diabetes, can start at blood sugar levels below the threshold of type 2 diabetes. In a group of people said to have prediabetes. These people do not currently undergo annual healthcare appointments to monitor for these health complications or other linked health conditions. This study aims to pilot a new style of clinic to address these issues. The investigators will perform a multi-morbidity assessment, where they will look for several different health problems at the same time. The investigators will be looking at health problems linked with high blood sugars, this will include problems with the liver, heart, nerves, eyes, and participants breathing overnight. They have developed a clinic visit which uses questionnaires, simple examination techniques and modern devices to try and identify these health problems. An important part of healthcare is the burden it places on people with health problems, with this in mind the investigators will be giving the people involved in their study a voice to try and direct future research and healthcare, the investigators will ask them to provide feedback on their experience in taking part in the study and what their thoughts are in undergoing a longer but more comprehensive health appointment.

The goal of this study is to address the risk of diabetes among men by creating a Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) tailored to men.

This 16-week study will use an experimental approach called the Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial to help determine which combination and sequence of weight loss program features are most effective in people who are at risk for type 2 diabetes. Participants in the study will be initially randomized to consume either a high or reduced carbohydrate diet. After 4 weeks, participants will be identified as Responders (greater than or equal to 2.5% weight loss) or Non-Responders (less than 2.5% weight loss). Responders will continue with their initial randomized group for the remainder of the trial. Non-responders will be re-randomized to 2nd stage interventions of either including additional exercise counseling and training or beginning a time restricted eating protocol for the remainder of the trial.
