The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio
64 participants

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The investigators are studying how to help people with prediabetes (Pre-DM) and obesity. The goal is to use new and affordable treatments to bring blood sugar levels back to normal and help participants to lose weight. The investigators also want to reduce participants risk of heart problems. The study team will look at how these treatments affect metabolism and other body functions to help find new ways to treat diabetes and obesity in the future.
