Study Summary
This trial studies how portable air cleaners (PACs) may help adults with prediabetes by affecting glucose levels & biomarkers of inflammation.
Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with prediabetes who speak English or Spanish, can visit the clinic for blood draws, and won't sleep away from their primary bedroom for more than a week during the study. Non-smokers only, without major dietary changes recently or diabetes medications. They must be able to lift a 20 lb air filter.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing if portable air cleaners (PACs) affect blood sugar levels and inflammation markers in people with prediabetes. One group uses PACs with HEPA filters; another uses PACs without filters as a control to compare results.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves using air cleaners rather than medication, there are no direct side effects from drugs. However, unforeseen reactions due to environmental changes cannot be completely ruled out.
