Individualized Nutrition Therapy for Preventing or Delaying Onset of Type-2 Diabetes

- Other: Individualized Nutrition Therapy
- Registration Number
- NCT05161897
- Lead Sponsor
- George Mason University
- Brief Summary
The overall aim of this feasibility study is to conduct a randomized, controlled intervention providing adults with prediabetes either an individualized nutrition therapy (INT) intervention that contains individualized dietary goal-setting components, the goal being to improve blood glucose, reduce CVD risk factors, and therefore postpone the onset of diabetes and related cardiovascular disease, or standard-of-care generalized dietary recommendation (SOC). The hypothesis is that the INT arm will experience greater benefits in some or all of the following primary outcome variables: improvement in postprandial blood glucose, oral glucose tolerance test, fasting insulin, and calculated insulin sensitivity (HOMA) in individuals with prediabetes. Secondary outcome variables are improved markers of inflammation, antioxidant status, blood lipids, blood pressure, and endothelial function.

- Arm && Interventions
Group Intervention Description Intervention Group Individualized Nutrition Therapy This arm will receive both individualized nutrition therapy and generalized nutrition therapy throughout the study. Participants will receive dietary recommendations based on their needs and will be educated about the recommended amount of carbohydrates for each meal and the carb choices. Participants will also be provided with a CGM device and will be educated to review their blood glucose measurements and record above range measures along with time, types and amount of food items consumed, cooking method, and any type of physical activity within one hour before or after the meal. This information will be reviewed by one of the research staff at each visit and will be used to set individualized goals for modifying diet and controlling blood glucose. Participants will visit every 10 days for 30 days to conduct measurements, replace their CGM, set new goals based on their food diary and CGM recordings, and receive further dietary recommendations.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in interstitial glucose concentrations [Time Frame: baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days] baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days Evaluating change in 24hr interstitial glucose concentrations and glycemic variability from baseline measure using a Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) device
Change in insulin sensitivity [Time Frame: baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days] baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days Change in insulin sensitivity from baseline measure will be assessed using the homeostatic model of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and insulin secretion (HOMA-β)
Change in glucose tolerance [Time Frame: baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days] baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days Change in glucose tolerance from baseline measures will be assessed using an oral glucose tolerance test
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in inflammation status [Time Frame: baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days] baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days As assessed by change in blood concentration of c-reactive protein (CRP)
Change in markers of endothelial function [Time Frame: baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days] baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days As assessed by blood concentrations of nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin-1 (ET-1)
Change in blood pressure [Time Frame: baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days] baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days Change in blood pressure from baseline measures as assessed by measuring resting blood pressure
Change in atherogenic risk ratios [Time Frame: baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days] baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days Change in atherogenic risk ratios from baseline measures as assessed by (AIP) = Log (TG/HDL-C), CRI-I(TC/HDL-C), CRI-II(LDL-C/HDL-C), AC(TC-HDL-C/HDL-C)
Change in lipid profiles [Time Frame: baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days] baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days As assessed by change in blood concentration of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and oxidized LDL (ox-LDL)
Change in antioxidant status [Time Frame: baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days] baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days Change in antioxidant status from baseline measure as assessed by measuring total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in blood
Change in dietary intake [Time Frame: baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days] baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days Change in dietary intake from baseline measures using data from ASA24 survey for one day in each time frame
