NCT02188823
The study is a pilot, designed to provide data regarding the feasibility and acceptability of conducting such a study on a larger scale. The present study is a clinical trial assessing a programs to help people manage prediabetes and lose weight with a low-carbohydrate diet (LC) along with information about positive affect, mindful eating strategies, exercise, and sleep.
NCT00515099
Antithymocyte globulin (e.g., Thymoglobulin®) is an antibody preparation that is commonly used to treat and prevent organ transplant rejection. The START trial aims to determine whether antithymocyte globulin (ATG) treatment can halt the progression of newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes when given within 12 weeks of disease diagnosis.
NCT02023918
Growth hormone is well known to cause changes in glucose regulation. People with Laron syndrome are born without the growth hormone receptor and are protected from diabetes. Mice who are engineered without the growth hormone receptor are similarly protected from diabetes. Conversely, people who have excessive amounts of growth hormone, such as patients with acromegaly, have an increased risk for type 2 diabetes. In acromegaly patients, treatment with pegvisomant, a medication that reduces insulin like growth factor-1 by blocking the growth hormone receptor, significantly improves insulin resistance. Pegvisomant has not been explored as a possibility for the treatment of type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance in people without acromegaly. In this study, the investigators hope to study the metabolic effects of pegvisomant on people who have insulin resistance but not diabetes. Pegivosmant is expected to improve insulin resistance in the liver, fat and muscle as well as decrease serum free fatty acids.
