About this study

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.

Study groups in NCT05161897
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Control GroupNo interventionThis arm will receive 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 carbohydrate choices. Participants will also be provided with a CGM device; however, participants will be blind to the CGM recordings until the end of the study.
Intervention GroupExperimentalThis 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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in interstitial glucose concentrations [Time Frame: 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

    Measured: baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days

  2. Change in insulin sensitivity [Time Frame: 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)

    Measured: baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days

  3. Change in glucose tolerance [Time Frame: baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days]

    Change in glucose tolerance from baseline measures will be assessed using an oral glucose tolerance test

    Measured: baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Change in inflammation status [Time Frame: baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days]

    As assessed by change in blood concentration of c-reactive protein (CRP)

    Measured: baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days

  2. Change in lipid profiles [Time Frame: 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)

    Measured: baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days

  3. Change in markers of endothelial function [Time Frame: baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days]

    As assessed by blood concentrations of nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin-1 (ET-1)

    Measured: baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days

  4. Change in blood pressure [Time Frame: baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days]

    Change in blood pressure from baseline measures as assessed by measuring resting blood pressure

    Measured: baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days

  5. Change in atherogenic risk ratios [Time Frame: 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)

    Measured: baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days

  6. Change in antioxidant status [Time Frame: 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

    Measured: baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days

  7. Change in dietary intake [Time Frame: 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

    Measured: baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Individualized Nutrition Therapy in people with PreDiabetes and Cardiovascular Diseases, run by George Mason University at 1 site in United States.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. 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 8 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Change in interstitial glucose concentrations [Time Frame: baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days] (time frame: baseline, 10 days, 20 days, and 30 days). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 8 May 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
