NPETA-GD Trial Summary

This trial is testing whether certain chemicals in the environment can contribute to diabetes, and whether making changes to diet and lifestyle can help reduce this risk.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with blood sugar control issues (HbA1c >= 5.7%) who don't already eat mostly organic food or drink filtered water. They must be able to consent remotely and not be on insulin treatments, planning surgeries, or unwilling to change their diet and lifestyle.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if a special program teaching people how to avoid certain environmental chemicals can lower these in the body and improve blood sugar levels. Participants will learn dietary and lifestyle changes over the course of the study.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this intervention involves education on avoiding environmental toxins through diet and lifestyle changes rather than medication, there are no direct side effects like those associated with drugs.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.

Primary outcome measures

Change in percentile score of urinary excretion of toxicant marker metabolites pre and post three-week dietary and lifestyle intervention

Secondary outcome measures

Change in immediate glucose response measured by daily fasting and post-prandial blood glucose measurements.

NPETA-GD Trial Design

1Treatment groups

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Toxicant avoidance and glucose dysregulationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

To investigate whether or not the excretion of urinary toxicant metabolites is reduced by dietary modification and lifestyle intervention in people with glucose dysregulation; whether the participant's ranked glucose dysregulation correlates with the amount and/or type of toxic metabolites excreted at baseline; and whether the body's immediate response to glucose is improved by the reduction of toxicant burden.
