Active clinical trials for "Prediabetic State"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the longitudinal test performance of an array of conventional biomarkers of glycemia, including Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and novel metabolomic biomarkers for identifying progression of glucose tolerance (normal to prediabetes or prediabetes to diabetes) in an overweight and obese pediatric cohort.

A prospective analytic study to evaluate the incidence, clinical and laboratory characteristics, extent of coronary artery disease and short-term outcome of newly diagnosed diabetes and pre-diabetes in patients with first-time diagnosed coronary artery disease treated in Saud Al Babtain Cardiac Center.

This study is designed to evaluate the feasibility of exercise to reverse prediabetes after transplantation to prevent Posttransplantation Diabetes Mellitus (PTDM).

"The goal of this work is to critically test the hypothesis that there exists a different profile of bile acids (BAs) in patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) compared with normal controls. Through confirmation of different profile of BAs in T2DM, investigator will suggest modulation of specific bile acids as a new possible treatment target in patients with T2DM. Investigator also expect the specific BAs signature will be used to screen T2DM before hyperglycemia. In addition, investigator will evaluate the association between each BA species and serum total glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) or fibroblast growth factor-19 (FGF-19) concentrations to determine if the specific BAs profile is related with total GLP-1 or FGF-19 concentration in serum. Investigatr also evaluates the correlation between each BA species and metabolic profiles and oxidative stress marker to find possible roles of each BA component in glucose metabolism.

The main objective of the study is to follow prospectively a cohort of patients with pre-diabetes to understand the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in switching from pre-diabetes to type 2 diabetes and to identify new biomarkers of type 2 diabetes risk in this population.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of pre-diabetes and diabetes among those Air Force personnel who have not passed the Air Force physical fitness test (AFPT) and to evaluate the usefulness of the AFPT as a prescreening tool for these disease processes.

Pre-diabetes is a significant risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes, as well as macrovascular and microvascular complication. Previous studies show that 50% or more loss in islet B-cell function even in Pre-diabetes phase. The early insulin therapy in pre-diabetes may be a strategy in preventing metabolic disorders and cardiovascular disease. The objective of this study is to find if an initial insulin glargine intervention in pre-diabetes (IGT and /or IFG) could be a strategy in preventing type 2 Diabetes. Pre-diabetes subjects will receive a insulin glargine therapy with a dosage adjusted to get FBG ≤ 5.3mmol / L as the goal. Insulin glargine treatment will be maintained for three months thereafter to find if it can prevent diabetes.

To identify the occurrence of diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events and all-cause death in patients with baseline prediabetes and stage1 hypertension after 18 years follow up. To identify whether one or several metabolites can be used as serum markers to judge the prognosis of patients with prediabetes and stage1 hypertension, and to establish the evaluation model of metabolites for the prognosis.

The main objective of the study is to understand the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in switching from pre-diabetes to type 2 diabetes and to identify new biomarkers of type 2 diabetes risk in the population of patients with pre-diabetes.

Consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) has been linked to rising rates of overweight and obesity. The most prominent mechanism to explain the link between SSBs and obesity is that liquid calories are not perceived by the body; thereby, promoting less satiety, less energy compensation and more weight gain than does the same energy consumed in solid form. This view is supported by pooled analyses of acute preload trials that have primarily measured food intake as the outcome. Though failure of short-term compensation has been observed with liquid calories, results from these acute preload trials should not be extrapolated to infer that liquid energy sources lead to weight gain over the long-term. To date, it is unclear whether liquid calories have differential effects than solid calories on body weight gain over the longer term. To increase clarity in this issue, the investigators propose to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis from long-term controlled feeding trials to distinguish the contribution of liquid calories from solid calories on body weight over the long-term. The findings generated by this analysis will improve the health of consumers through informing evidence-based guidelines and improving health outcomes by educating healthcare providers and patients, stimulating industry innovation, and guiding future research design.
