Metformin and Prevention of Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction and...
PreDiabetesAcute Myocardial Infarction2 morePrediabetes is associated to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Although metformin can delay progression to diabetes there is a lack of RCTs evaluating the effect of metformin on cardiovascular outcomes. MIMET aims to investigate if addition of metformin to standard care has effects on the occurrence of cardiovascular events after acute myocardial infarction in patients with newly detected prediabetes (identified by oral glucose tolerance test, HbA1c or fasting glucose levels).
Effectiveness and Cost-Effectiveness of Fully-Automated Digital vs. Human Coach-Based Diabetes Prevention...
PreDiabetesHyperglycemia12 moreThe purpose of this research study is to compare the effectiveness of a fully automated digital diabetes prevention program to standard of care human coach-based diabetes prevention programs for promoting clinically meaningful lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes in adults with prediabetes.
The Clinical Referral to Activity Study
Physical InactivityCardiovascular Risk Factor3 moreThe main aim of this effort is to test a physical activity intervention, for adult clinical care patients at risk of developing cardiovascular disease. The intervention includes social-cognitive theory-based sessions, remote coaching, a body worn physical activity tracker (PAT), and is delivered online over one year. The investigators hypothesis that this intervention will be more successful at increasing physical activity (defined as objectively measured step counts and % of individuals meeting the moderate-vigorous physical activity goal) as an active control group who receives a body worn PAT and information on the CDC activity recommendations. The proposed intervention will be aligned with efforts by the US Centers for Disease Control to increase population physical activity levels and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) to increase physical activity prescription in primary care.
Continuous Glucose Monitoring as Adjunct to Lifestyle Modification in Prediabetes
PreDiabetesThis is a 12-month prospective, open-label, non-masked, two arm randomized controlled trial comparing intermittently-viewed continuous glucose monitoring (iCGM) in addition to lifestyle modification programme (LMP) as compared with a LMP alone in individulas with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). Following informed consent, participants will undergo screening where a fasting glucose, 75g OGTT, HbA1c, fasting lipid profile along with comprehensive medical and drug history to confirm eligibility. At week 0, participants will be randomised to CGM plus LMP versus LMP alone. Both groups will receive individualized structured LMP programme delivered by a dietitian and a fitness instructor. Outcomes will be evaluated by laboratory tests, physical measurement, physical activity and dietary compliance and questionnaires at Month 0, 4, 8, 12.
Diabetes Prevention and Education
DiabetesPre Diabetes2 moreType 2 diabetes mellitus is one of the fastest growing public health problems in developed and developing countries and imposes a large financial burden on health-care systems. Preventing, delaying, and managing diabetes should be a priority for health-care systems. Nationally, 38% of adults have prediabetes, with more than 80% of people with prediabetes being unaware of their condition. In Maryland, an estimated 10.5% of adults report prediabetes, and 33.7% of Baltimore City residents have obesity, an important risk factor for prediabetes. The BMDRP aims to increase the capacity of BMDRP hospitals and community partners to offer DPP and DSMT directly in communities and will also increase the number of referrals into these programs. Successful enrollment and completion of DPP has demonstrated reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes for individuals with pre-diabetes. However, limited data exist on changes in body composition and liver fat in individuals completing DPP. Individuals with pre-diabetes often have obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. We will evaluate for changes in body fat and liver fat in individuals completing the DPP program.
Effect of the SCL16A11 Risk Haplotype on Treatments to Prevent Type 2 Diabetes
PreDiabetesThe goal of this randomized clinical trial is to determine the impact of the risk haplotype on SLC16A11 on early therapeutic responses in treatments to prevent T2D in Mexican mestizos with prediabetes. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Evaluate the effect of the risk haplotype on weigth loss >3% Evualuate the differences in lipid profiles and glycemic parameters (fasting glucose, HbA1c). Participants will be randomized into two groups: lifestyle intervention (LSI): hypocaloric diet, 25 kcal/kg of ideal weight, 45% of the total intake of carbohydrates, 30% lipids, and 25% protein sources + physical activity (>150 min medium intensity per week), or LSI + MET (750 mg metformin twice a day). Researchers will compare carriers and non carriers of the risk haplotype of SLC16A11 to see if there are diferent treatment responses.
Non-Nutritive Sweetener Consumption and Glucose Homeostasis in Older Adults With Prediabetes
Continuous Glucose MonitoringOral Glucose Tolerance2 moreAnimal and observational research in humans suggest that specific types of non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS) may impair glycemic control. However, whether NNS consumption impacts glucose homeostasis in middle-aged/older adults with prediabetes is unknown, and potential mechanisms by which this could occur have yet to be identified. The overall objective of this R21 proposal is to establish proof-of-concept for alterations in glucose homeostasis following intake of sucralose, but not aspartame, in middle-aged/older adults with prediabetes compared to a eucaloric diet with no NNS.
Feasibility of Prediabetes Remission in Adults With Coronary Heart Disease
Prediabetic StateCoronary Heart Disease2 moreTo evaluate the feasibility of a 6-month multidisciplinary program to reverse prediabetes in adults with coronary heart disease using the Mediterranean diet, intermittent fasting and exercise.
Trial of Early Initiation of CGM-Guided Insulin Therapy in Stage 2 T1D
Type 1 DiabetesPrediabetic State2 moreThis protocol is an intervention study to determine the best education and monitoring strategy for children ages 2-20 years with pre-symptomatic type 1 diabetes (T1D) because there currently exists no clinical guidelines for management of these children in early-stage T1D. This study hypothesizes that the trajectory of T1D can be changed, substantially reducing HbA1c and risk of DKA at diagnosis, through (1) careful monitoring of children progressing from stage 2 to stage 3 T1D using continuous glucose monitor (CGM) technology, (2) staged education targeted to assist families in recognizing evolving dysglycemia, and (3) addressing glycemic abnormalities with early initiation of insulin.
Dinner Time for Obesity and Prediabetes
PreDiabetesObesity1 moreObesity and its metabolic complications are leading causes of global morbidity and mortality. Evidence is mounting that inappropriate timing of food intake contributes to obesity. Specifically, late eating is associated with greater weight gain and metabolic syndrome. However, the mechanism by which late eating harms metabolism is not fully understood but may be related to mis-timing of food intake in relation to the body's endogenous circadian rhythm. Conversely, harmonization of eating timing with endogenous circadian rhythm may optimize metabolic health. In this study the investigators will use gold-standard methods of characterizing circadian rhythm in humans to examine the metabolic impacts food timing relative to endogenous circadian rhythm.
