Active clinical trials for "Prediabetic State"

The 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 research will be carried out in order to investigate the effect of health education given to prediabetes patients by video conference method on self-management and exercise. The work will be carried out in two stages. In the first stage, the validity and reliability study of the Scale for Process of Exercise Engagement (SPEE) that was developed on prediabetes patients will be conducted and the scale will be adapted to the Turkish society. In the second stage, the effect of health education, which was prepared on the basis of the Transtheoretic Model and will be given by video conferencing, on the exercise status of prediabetes patients, on hunger, postprandial blood sugar, cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglyceride, blood pressure, HbA1c, BMI, weight, waist circumference measurements will be evaluated. In this research, the exercise change stages dimension of the Transtheoretic Model will be discussed and the trainings will be planned according to these stages.

Aim: 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.

Aim: 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.

It is well known that the Type 2 diabetes and vascular disease are preceded by over ten years by metabolic dysfunction and anatomic changes that can be quantified. In order to develop effective preventive strategies and reduce the cost burden to the health care system, recognition of the earliest pathophysiology of Type 2 diabetes and vascular disease is clinically relevant. The interval retrospective evaluation of data from patient records, reflect the effectiveness of the various treatments implemented in clinical practice. Prevalence of "prediabetes" among American adults is estimated to be ~84 million, or one out of three Americans. Over a 5-7 year period approximately one third of these prediabetic individuals will progress to type 2 diabetes. Prediabetes is a heterogenous group comprised of individuals with impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), and increased A1c (5.7-6.4%). Although different pathophysiologies are present in individuals with IFG and IGT, their conversion rate to overt type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is similar. Insulin resistance is a common causal feature of many of the pathophysiologic mechanisms linking macrovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Because hyperglycemia is the major factor responsible for the development of microvascular complications, it logically follows that prevention of progression of prediabetes to overt diabetes should retard/prevent the development of the microvascular complications. From the measurement of plasma glucose, insulin, and c-peptide levels during the oral glucose tolerance test, one can derive measures of the two core defects responsible for the development of T2DM, i.e. insulin resistance and beta cell dysfunction as well as the degree of dysglycemia. By combining a standard medical evaluation with the evaluation of cardiovascular biomarkers, patients at intermediate risk of vascular disease can be identified. In these patients, carotid intima media thickness (IMT) and carotid plaque evaluation is offered to attempt to clarify risk. The hypothesis of this observational study is that the characterization of the physiology and anatomy of patients at risk of developing type 2 diabetes and/or cardiovascular disease can stratify risk of developing disease and direct treatment strategies tailored to the identified physiologic defect, leading to improvements in the delay or prevention of disease.

The purpose of this interventional sham-controlled pilot study is to study the effects of using portable air cleaners (PACs) in outpatient adults with prediabetes. The primary aims are to determine the effect PAC's have on glycemic variability and the concentrations of circulating biomarkers of inflammation.

Through the MALDI-TOF MS platform, explore the proteomics and peptidomics differences of fasting serum/plasma and urine between non pregnant people with normal glucose tolerance test and prediabetes /diabetes patients, pregnant people with normal glucose tolerance test and pregnant diabetes patients respectively; To explore the role of its proteomics and peptidomics differences in the diagnosis of prediabetes and diabetes, and to establish a new method of differential diagnosis by using the omics data and key characteristic peaks to find potential new diagnostic markers.

Participants with prediabetes is the key targets for diabetes prevention. So, in order to further strengthen and standardize the management of participants with prediabetes in the communities, the investigators start this project of standardized management of participants with prediabetes in communities of Shanghai. Explore the standardized management model for prediabetes participants within primary healthcare settings in Shanghai, to reduce the risk factors of diabetes, improve the blood glucose control, and the quality of life of participants with prediabetes.

The purpose of this study is to see if continuous glucose monitoring can identify how often people who have pre-diabetes or medical obesity or well-controlled diabetes experience very high glucose values while receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer or pancreatic.

Diabetes is responsible for a huge and growing burden of patient suffering and social costs, and the impact of this disease is shared disproportionately by minorities and in rural resource-challenged communities, particularly in the Deep South. To address this problem, the University of Alabama (UAB) Diabetes Research Center (DRC) will establish a primary care clinical network in rural counties of Alabama and in the Mississippi delta that will provide the (DRC) and its members with opportunities for partnership and the infrastructure to conduct translational and clinical research in those patients with the greatest need. A pilot trial will be conducted within the coalition to assess feasibility for a larger trial to evaluate a novel and sustainable approach for diabetes prevention that involves an innovative lifestyle intervention combined with metformin.
