Read the detailed description

This pilot study will evaluate the use of a modified (cultural and language) adaptation of the National Diabetes Prevention Program in a cohort in Quito Ecuador. People who took the program had the option to participate in the research component. All participants selected the research component.

Adaptations- the coaches will be physicians from PUCE and they will administer this program for eligible employees who have biochemical prediabetes.

The program will be modified to be able to fit within the school curriculum. The diabetes prevention program will be offered in Spanish and the content modified to better fit the cultural norms for the Quito Ecuador population.

Participants will be adults with prediabetes as screened by the CDC Diabetes Risk Test and confirmed by HbA1c.

Outcome measures will include change in mean HbA1c, change in weight, physical activity, and attendance to the program.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of PreDiabetes, run by Ohio University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

HbA1c (time frame: 90-120 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Apr 2022.
