Active clinical trials for "Prediabetic State"

Briefly, participants will be assessed for their eligibility for the study using an oral glucose tolerance test, which involves drinking a sugary drink followed by a series of small blood samples. If eligible, participants will be asked to take part in a fitness test and then two trials which will involve walking on a treadmill at a steady pace. Before and after the exercise a small piece of muscle will be taken from their thigh under local anaesthesia, as well as several small blood samples. Muscle muscle samples will be assessed for lipid metabolites.

Primary protocol to this study is to develop a natural remedy to prevent diabetes mellitus in pre-diabetic state and elaborate the effectiveness of polyherbal formulation for carrying out Phase-II, III and IV. It also aimed at to see the level of difference of glucose tolerance and impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance between pre-diabetic and diabetic to evaluate the potential benefit for treatment of insulin resistance and sensitivity. To see the for prevention of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and stopping / delaying the onset of DM.

The main aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a program for modifying lifestyles for diabetes prevention type 2 and control cardio-metabolic risk factors in adults with different categories of risk from the primary health care strategy. The project will show the effect of these interventions for the first time in people With different risk of developing type 2 diabetes throughout the life in populations living in Colombia Located in 2 different cities, one of them in the interior of the country (districts of Bogota) and another in the north coast (districts of Barranquilla) .

Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) is a serine exopeptidase able to inactivate various oligopeptides involved in inflammation, immunity and vascular function. Our aim was to investigate the associations between constitutive levels of DPP4 activity and inflammatory biomarkers, skin microvascular reactivity, gut peptides, insulin resistance indexes, heart rate and blood pressure variability, and measures of adiposity in subjects with different grades of glucose tolerance.

There is a lot of evidence to show that the yeast beta-glucan has immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, anti-infective effects.However,few work was done on the relationship between yeast bata-glucan and the immune function of diabetic patients. This is a randomized double-blind trial, aiming to study the effect of yeast beta-glucan on immune system of prediabetic patients. Firstly, the investigators will go into the efficacy of yeast beta-glucan on improving the clinical symptoms of prediabetics. Secondly, the investigators will study the mechanism of yeast beta-glucan on enhancing the immune function and improving the inflammatory response.

DPPFit is a Healthy Lifestyle Intervention designed to reformat the effective strategies of the Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP) into a tool for use in a primary care setting. DPPFit is a 16-week technology-based intervention for diabetes prevention. In keeping with the National DPP educational sessions, the intervention weeks follow the order and presentation of the N-DPP 16 session topics. The goal is to develop a pragmatic translation of the DPP that is effective in the real-world setting of primary care clinic. The hope is that in doing so, those at risk of developing type II diabetes mellitus will have evidenced-based prevention methods at their disposal.

The primary aim of our study is to evaluate the effects of physical activity counseling and pilates exercises on metabolic control variables in patients with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes; Its secondary aim is to examine the effects of both practices on physical activity level, exercise capacity and quality of life, and to compare the relationship between those under medical supervision by family doctor.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness a 13-week community based nutrition education program to assist participants program in improving in physical and emotional well being and to assess if there are differences in outcomes based on a participant's socioeconomic status.

Clinical and epidemiological studies suggest links between cognitive impairments and Type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The underlying mechanisms and causality in diabetes-related cognitive impairment are largely unknown. The aim of this study is to investigate cognitive impairment and the role of BDNF in prediabetes and diabetes patients.

People with learning (intellectual) disabilities have more health problems than the rest of the population; they are less likely to access help and have lifestyles that may increase their risk of getting diabetes (for example, poor diet and lack of physical activity). People with learning disabilities may also be prescribed drugs or have certain medical conditions (such as Down's syndrome) which can make their chances of getting diabetes greater. Diabetes is a long-term condition, which can cause damage to the eyes, heart, kidneys, nerves and feet. Impaired glucose regulation happens when sugar levels in the blood are higher than normal but are not high enough to be diagnosed with diabetes. People with impaired glucose regulation are more likely to develop diabetes, heart disease and stroke in the future. If people with impaired glucose regulation make changes to their lifestyle (diet and exercise) they can prevent or delay getting diabetes. The aim of this study is to screen people with learning disabilities for diabetes and impaired glucose regulation. The investigators also want to find out the best way to give people with learning disabilities some education around healthy lifestyles (for example, eating and exercise) to help with prevention of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Therefore, the investigators also aim to develop a lifestyle education programme that is suitable for use in this population and test whether it is feasible and acceptable.
