This study tests whether a Mediterranean diet can help people with prediabetes improve their blood sugar levels. You'll follow a specific meal plan for a period of time and have your blood sugar and other health markers checked.
This study looks for people who are at high risk of developing prediabetes (but don't have it yet) and tests whether early monitoring with a continuous glucose monitor can help prevent it. It's a good fit if you're 35 or older with a high diabetes risk score but normal blood sugar levels.
This study tests a program to help older adults with diabetes who have trouble moving around. The goal is to see if a special care plan can help them stay independent and avoid getting worse.
This study helps older adults with type 2 diabetes understand how their blood sugar and daily activity are connected. You'll wear devices that track your glucose (blood sugar) and movement, and the research team will use this information to help you sit less and move more.
This study tests if combining three dietary changes and physical activity can help people with prediabetes. Prediabetes means your blood sugar is higher than normal but not high enough to be diabetes yet.
