Active clinical trials for "Prediabetic State"

The purpose of the research is to test the effectiveness of different messaging approaches to nudge members of Vitality and Discovery Health, with risk factors for diabetes (based on data from the Vitality Health Check and Vitality Age assessment), to visit a doctor and test for diabetes. The messages are based on concepts from behavioural economics that aim to make information on screening more salient by using the concept of social proof (person like you) and an authoritative source (a diabetes specialist and the Vitality doctor).

The goals of this project are to build an experimental tool to dissect out in vivo pancreatic beta cell mass (BCM) and beta cell function (BCF) and to assess for the first time these two determinants of beta cell functional mass (BCFxM) in obesity and in various stages of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of blood flow restriction training on glycemic control and functional activity in participants with prediabetes. Moreover, This study determine the effects of blood flow restriction training on quality of life in participants with prediabetes

More than 50% of patients with type 2 diabetes develop micro- and/or macrovascular complications during the course of the disease. Additionally, many patients at risk for diabetes develop metabolically driven complications including kidney and heart disease. Novel sub-phenotyping analysis identified clusters of risk for diabetes associated with different complications, mainly affecting the kidneys, opening opportunities to new therapeutic approaches, despite and in addition to lifestyle changes. So far, pharmacological therapy is not indicated for patients with prediabetes. SGLT2 inhibitors reduce progression of diabetic nephropathy and ischemic heart disease in patients with diabetes and high cardiovascular risk, in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and in individuals with advanced CKD. Yet, no prospective data are available in patients with prediabetes and beginning chronic kidney disease, reflected by normal or modestly reduced GFR and increased uACR (> 30mg/g, KDIGO G1A2 - G2A2). Subphenotyping of patients with newly onset diabetes suggests that for some individuals, it would be too late to start interventions against deteriorating renal function at the time of diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. Therefore, individuals at the highest risk to develop T2D and renal failure should receive preventive measures well before the diagnosis of T2D. This study will provide evidence whether such an early intervention contributes to the preservation of renal function in high-risk individuals who already have microalbuminuria. The studied population will comprise individuals who are likely to develop T2D and nephropathy but in clinical practice do not receive medical treatment due to the early stage of the disease. Thereese subjects will receive Dapagliflozin 10 mg or Placebo for two years. The placebo treatment arm reflects current practice. In order guarantee a benefit the patients in the placebo arm will receive a lifestyle intervention.

The purpose of this study is to assess if metformin reduces adverse outcomes associated with prediabetes in pregnancy. Our hypothesis is that pregnant women with prediabetes who are treated with metformin will show a greater reduction in large for gestational age infants at birth compared to women treated with the standard of care.

This research is studying how to help increase uptake of and engagement in formal Diabetes Prevention Programs to improve healthy behaviors among adults with pre diabetes to reduce risk of getting diabetes. This project will compare the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) to participating in the DPP program plus two extra pieces (INSPIRA). The 2 additional pieces in the DPP plus program includes getting matched with someone else in the program to provide each other support along with a chance to earn healthy food vouchers. Eligible participants will be randomized to one of the two groups and be asked to participate for approximately 6 months.

The aim of this study is to develop and evaluate a low intensity, multifaceted, digital health intervention to prevent T2DM based on: i) the use of a system comprising mobile health (mHealth) technology integrated with electronic health records to send tailored text messages (SMSs) promoting lifestyle changes in people at risk of T2DM, and, ii) the provision of online education to primary healthcare workers about prediabetes management.

Inhibitors of the sodium-glucose co-transporter (SGLT2) are FDA-approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Their mechanism of action involves lowering of blood glucose concentration secondary to increased glucose excretion of glucose by the kidney. These drugs also improve body weight, blood pressure, and cardiac function. Based on these pleiotropic effects, including its calorie restriction-mimetic properties, the study team hypothesize that SGLT2 drugs will impact several basic aging-related processes, including reductions in oxidative damage to DNA and proteins, advanced glycation end products (AGE) and receptor for AGE (RAGE), cellular senescence, and mitochondrial function.

This 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.
