Sponsor

University of Maryland, Baltimore

Enrollment

30 participants

Start Date

Mar 1, 2022

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This study examines the association of variability in glucose values over a 10-day period with cognitive function and functional status among individuals with prediabetes, aged 50 or older.


Eligibility

Min Age: 50 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is investigating whether blood sugar fluctuations (going up and down) in people with prediabetes affect thinking, memory, and brain function, even before a full diabetes diagnosis is made. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 50 years of age or older - You have at least an 8th grade education **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have already been diagnosed with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes - You are taking any medications for diabetes (including insulin or steroids with diabetes-like effects) - You have serious chronic conditions (heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, recent cancer) - You have a neurological condition (Parkinson's, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis) - You have a history of dementia - You have HIV, serious mental illness, or heavy alcohol use Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
