Hyperglycaemia Non Diabetic

We will be directly comparing a high-quality protein diet composed primarily of lean pork loin (PORK) to a lower-quality plant-based protein diet (PLANT) in individuals with prediabetes on muscle and whole-body protein turnover and glucose regulation.

This study is being done to find better ways to help people with prediabetes prevent or delay the development of type 2 diabetes. Prediabetes means your blood sugar is higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed with diabetes. It is often silent, but without changes in diet and activity, many people progress to a diagnosis of diabetes within a few years. The study combines two strategies: 1. Group visits - small, regular meetings where patients learn about healthy eating, physical activity, and stress management. 2. Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) - small wearable sensors that measure blood sugar all day and show how food, movement, and sleep affect it in real time. By bringing these two tools together, the research hopes to help participants better understand their own bodies and make lasting lifestyle changes. What is the purpose of this research? The purpose of this research is to find out whether using a CGM device together with group sessions can help people with prediabetes lower their average blood sugar (measured by A1C) and improve confidence in managing their health.

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate whether a non-invasive facial scan technology using remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) can accurately estimate blood glucose and HbA1c levels in adults living in the community in Jakarta. The study focuses on adults aged 18 years and older, including individuals with or without diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can rPPG-based facial scan estimates of blood glucose and HbA1c match results from standard laboratory blood tests? 2. How well can rPPG identify individuals with high blood sugar or diabetes risk based on established clinical cut-off values? Researchers will compare results from the rPPG facial scan with standard laboratory measurements of fasting blood glucose and HbA1c to determine how accurate and reliable the technology is for screening purposes. Participants will: 1. Provide basic information such as age, sex, and medical history 2. Undergo a non-invasive facial scan using a smartphone-based system 3. Have a blood sample taken to measure fasting blood glucose and HbA1c 4. Complete all assessments during a single study visit This study aims to determine whether rPPG can serve as a simple, non-invasive, and accessible tool for early detection and monitoring of diabetes in community settings.
