Active clinical trials for "Prediabetic State"

This randomized, double-blind, parallel group, two-centre pilot study will test the hypothesis that subjects who are otherwise healthy but fulfill the criteria for a diagnosis of pre-hypertension and pre-diabetes will have regression or reduced progression of hypertension-associated changes in their resistance arteries if their blood pressure is controlled for 6 months with losartan, whereas similar subjects whose blood pressure is equally well controlled using hydrochlorothiazide will have significantly less improvement of the changes in their resistance arteries.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of dapagliflozin therapy on myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) using dynamic SPECT examination in prediabetic patients with stable CAD. Dapagliflozin therapy versus lifestyle modification improves myocardial perfusion reserve in prediabetic patients with stable CAD.

The purpose of the study is to learn about how type of exercise influences measures of appetite regulation.

The two main questions that this research study will answer: will a 16-week community-based diabetes prevention program for delivery to at-risk mothers and children in a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) setting show (a) pre- and post-intervention improvements to Type 2 Diabetes risk factors in 60 mother-child dyads; (b) intervention vs. control improvements to T2D risk factors in 30 mother-child dyads; and (c) maintenance effects to changes to Type 2 Diabetes risk factors in 30 mother-child dyads; and based on the acceptability, adoption, relevance to FQHC and participants, feasibility, fidelity, program costs, and factors influencing sustainability of this program, can it be disseminated nationwide to other FQHC's? The investigators hypothesize that participants (a) will show improvements following the intervention to T2D risk factors, (b) in the intervention will show significant improvements to T2D risk factors in versus the controls, and (c) will maintain the benefits beyond the 16-week intervention. The investigators also predict that this program will meet criteria to be disseminated nationwide to other FQHC's.

The purpose of this study is to establish safety of biweekly intermittent fasting in the setting of type 2 diabetes mellitus or prediabetes under treatment with non-hypoglycemic agents (e.g. metformin).

Major surgery results in a stress- induced catabolic response, marked by post-operative insulin resistance, hyperglycemia and loss of body protein, which is associated with increased morbidity, mortality and adverse outcomes. There has been a great deal of research on different approaches to optimize post-operative insulin sensitivity including hormonal and nutritional interventions, minimally invasive surgical techniques and epidural anesthesia. However, the correlation between insulin resistance and body protein loss is not well understood. Metformin is the most widely used insulin sensitizing and blood glucose-lowering drug in treatment of type 2 diabetic patients. This study will: 1) estimate the correlation between insulin resistance and body protein loss in pre-diabetic lung/colorectal resection patients; 2) investigate whether the post-operative metabolic state can be improved by the pre-operative administration of metformin; and assess the impact of metformin on surgical complications and hospital length of stay. The results of this study will provide insight into the relationship between insulin resistance and post-operative adverse events and potentially suggest a novel approach to improve outcomes using Metformin, a drug already in wide clinical use.

Overweight/obese Chinese and prediabetes will be recruited and divided into three age-matched groups including high intensity exercise, moderate intensity exercise, and non-exercise groups. The exercise program will consist of three sessions per week over the course of 12 weeks, under the supervision of our in-house exercise specialists and physiologists. The effects of exercise on glucose and lipid profiles, insulin sensitivity and adiposity will be evaluated.

Study investigates the hypothesis that an exercise programme of steady walking will have larger effects on insulin sensitivity and glycemic control when combined with Acipimox intake prior to each exercise session in people with pre-diabetes. Thirty-four sedentary, overweight/obese people (aged 25-50 years, BMI >28 kg.m-2) with pre-diabetes will be recruited using the same strategy as study 2 and split into two groups (detailed below). Participants will undergo several pre- intervention assessments, followed by a 12-week walking based intervention combined with either Acipimox ingestion or no drug ingestion, pre- each exercise session. Following this, the post-assessment measures will identical to the pre-assessment measures.

Participants who were previously Viome costumers who signed informed consent to participate and self reported type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes were enrolled. They provided stool samples to VIOME and were provided with precision diet and supplement recommendations. The information obtained from this study is used to train a model to predict diabetes and/or risks of developing diabetes.

The study is a pilot, designed to provide data regarding the feasibility and acceptability of conducting such a study on a larger scale. The present study is a clinical trial assessing a programs to help people manage prediabetes and lose weight with a low-carbohydrate diet (LC) along with information about positive affect, mindful eating strategies, exercise, and sleep.
