Active clinical trials for "Prediabetic State"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether treating pre-diabetic & pre-hypertensive individuals using multiple drugs intervention (anti-hypertensive drugs (i.e., ACEI) plus anti-glycemic drug (i.e., metformin) plus anti-hyperlipidemic drug (statin)) would lower Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) events.

The purpose of this study is to determine if, in a subset of patients treated with a beta-blocker and diuretic, prediabetes is detectable to a greater extent through a 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) compared to fasting glucose measurement.

The study was conducted to find out any possible effect of Atorvastatin on glycemic parameters in prediabetic patients.

Series of epidemiological studies have been carried out by the research team since 1988 studying the changes in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes, prediabetes and associated risk factors. These studies have shown that the determinants to rising prevalence of diabetes vary among populations and with time. Comparative studies from the same region can help to understand the secular changes occurring in a specific population. In this proposal we intend to conduct a cross-sectional survey with varied levels of urbanisation and compare the findings with our earlier reported data to assess the degree of changes in dysglycaemic prevalences. The primary aim of the proposal is to study the secular changes and the prevalence of diabetes, prediabetes and associated cardio-metabolic risk factors with varying levels of urbanization. A multi-stage random selection method will be used. Field workers will conduct an enumeration of the individuals above 20 years of age. In each location, streets will be randomly selected to have an equal representativeness from different socio-economic strata. All eligible family members of the selected households are invited for the survey. The study outcomes will be of relevance in public health research in modeling effective national healthcare policies.

This study examined whether dietary-induced reductions in lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) activity in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and plasma affected metabolic profiles in PBMCs and plasma.

To evaluate the effect of Gluten Free Diet (GFD) on beta-cell function and glucose metabolism in subjects with one or several islet autoantibodies without and with dysglycemia at baseline. Additionally, all subjects will be given treatment with Vitamin D, omega fatty acids and probiotics. Subjects will be randomized to GFD or normal diet during 18 months. Beta cell function will be evaluated at baseline, and during follow-up by glucose tolerance tests.

Prediabetes, defined by either impaired fasting glucose and/or impaired glucose tolerance, is a known high-risk condition predisposing to future diabetes mellitus type 2. Strategies to prevent progression from prediabetes to diabetes have been widely studied, however, without striking long-term effects of any kind of intervention (pharmacological, behavioral...). The investigators therefore investigate certain nutritional approaches concerning nutrient content and favorable food components, targeting metabolic improvement.

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of a single bout of moderate exercise, standardized breakfast and buffet meal on appetite-related hormones, type two diabetes and cardiovascular risk factors with a comparison between healthy South Asian and white European men. It is of interest to see if any factor differences occur in appetite-regulating hormones and cardiovascular disease risk factors whilst exercising. If so strategies may be used to alter regulation in diet and exercise to reduce risk cardiovascular disease as this is the number one cause of death globally.

India has more than 65 million adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and also has a large number with subclinical stages of glycaemia including impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). At present people with high risk of diabetes are identified by blood test such as Oral glucose tolerance Test and/or glycosylated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). Dysregulated actions of adipokines have major roles in development of metabolic diseases such as diabetes. Adipokines influence systemic insulin resistance and also regulate inflammatory process and/or are likely to have major pathological role in the development of diabetes. It is also likely that these abnormalities occur even in sub clinical stages of T2DM which when identified would provide an early opportunity to institute early intervention using life style changes which are proven to be effective in all ethnic groups.The measurements of adipokines such as adiponectin, apelin, visfatin and vaspin which have inter related regulatory roles, in saliva if found to be sensitive would provide a non-invasive, simple method of assessing persons with high risk of T2DM.

The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of an out-of-school diabetes prevention program for youth (ages 7-15) with a family history of pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes.
