Active clinical trials for "Prediabetic State"

The investigators performed a 8-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover human trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of persimmon leaf extract on blood glucose. The investigators measures changes in diabetes associated parameters, including fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, insulin, C-peptide and HbA1c.

The aim of the current study is to identify the optimal exercise intensity of the high-intensity phase during a bout of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) to increase glucose clearance in a prediabetic population. The study is a within-subjects randomised crossover design with participants attending the laboratory on seven occasions over a two week period. The first visit will be to perform medical screening and to obtain informed consent. The second visit will be to collect baseline measures, select meal plans, to collect an activity tracker and to complete a ramped exercise test to establish exercise intensity thresholds. The third visit will be to fit an interstitial glucose sensor and to collect the standardised meals which will be provided to each participant. Visits four, five, and six will be the experimental trials. The seventh visit will be to remove the interstitial glucose sensor and return the activity tracker.

Previous Icelandic studies regarding prevalence of diabetes have mostly used data from the capital area. Information on the proportion of people at risk at developing T2DM or having undiagnosed T2DM among people living in rural Northern Iceland is unknown. Clinical guidelines recommend that patients with prediabetes (diabetes warning signs) should be referred to a counselling program. The study will evaluate effectiveness of nurse-coordinated Guided Self-Determination (GSD) follow up program toward health promotion, for people at risk of T2DM.

Patients with prediabetes can significantly reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by participating in a Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) or using metformin, but very few patients with prediabetes engage in these strategies. This randomized controlled trial will compare, among adults with prediabetes, the effectiveness of financial incentives, tailored messages based on self-determination theory (SDT) principles, and the combination of financial incentives plus tailored messages based on SDT principles in decreasing hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and weight and in increasing participation in a DPP or use of metformin. Our main hypotheses are that the mean decrease in HbA1c will be greater in the arm that receives a combination of financial incentives plus tailored messages than in the arm that receives generic health education messages, and that the mean decrease in HbA1c will be greater in the arm that receives a combination of financial incentives plus tailored messages than in the arm that receives financial incentives alone and the arm that receives tailored messages alone. The study will also identify moderators and mediators of the effectiveness of the interventions and evaluate facilitators of and barriers to scalability, acceptability, and sustainability of the different interventions.

Background: The rising levels of physical inactivity in the Eastern Mediterranean region (43.2%) and in the United Arab Emirates (38%) compared with the global levels of physical inactivity (31.2%) is alarming (6,15). Therefore, action is required to reduce physical inactivity using evidence-based strategies. This study aims to provide scientific evidence that if the workplace environment promotes behavior change, physical activity levels could increase and, therefore, improve health. Objective: Primary objective: to determine whether the workplace exercise intervention will improve the cardio-metabolic risk components for the employees. Secondary objective: to determine whether the workplace exercise intervention will improve physical activity levels even after 4 weeks of completing the intervention. Methods: A total of 150 participants will be recruited from a semi-government telecommunication company after meeting the eligibility criteria; 75 will be assigned to the intervention group and 75 to the delayed intervention group. Intervention: The Intervention group will receive 2 hours of exercise per week during working hours for 12 weeks. One hour can be used per day. The intervention group will be assigned to attend personal trainer sessions in the workplace gym during the intervention. After the intervention is completed the delayed intervention group will also receive 2 hours of exercise time per week from working hours for 4 weeks. Expected results: There is a statistically significant difference in the primary and secondary health outcome between the intervention group and delayed intervention group. Expected conclusion: Increasing exercise time in the workplace is associated with favorable cardio-metabolic risk profile.

Examining a number of health outcomes in those with diabetes and prediabetes before and after a group-based mindfulness intervention.

The study examines the effect of black currant on glucose and insulin concentrations after a meal. In addition, the cytokine and free fatty acids levels are of interest.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the DE-PLAN Euskadi program for the primary prevention of type-II diabetes in high-risk population seen in primary care centers (Osakidetza-Basque Health Service) in which such intervention is implemented, compared to usual care control centers.

The purpose of this study is to assess whether water-soluble cinnamon extract plus aggressive lifestyle intervention is effective in lowering blood glucose in pre-diabetic patients when compared to aggressive lifestyle therapy plus placebo.

This study was designed to examine changes in capillary blood glucose and venous insulin levels after a 70 gram oral sucrose challenge with and without simultaneous consumption of a dietary supplement containing L-Arabinose and a patented version of chromium (LA-Cr).
