The investigators are conducting a prospective, randomized clinical trial of 'Home Base Diabetes Care (HBDC)' versus usual care (delayed HBDC beginning 12 months after enrollment) among 150 Acoma citizens with prediabetes from approximately 60 households. The household will serve as the unit of
Twenty-five percent of the United States population has nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a disease that includes hepatic fatty infiltration alone (simple steatosis) or steatosis plus inflammation, liver cell injury and death (nonalcoholic steatohepatitis [NASH]). NAFLD involving hepatic
Competing theories about obesity and its treatment contrast the relative roles of dietary fat versus carbohydrate on promotion of excessive calorie intake. Advocates of low-carbohydrate diets propose that diets high in carbohydrates lead to elevated insulin secretion and increased calorie intake.
Maternal cardiovascular physiology evolves during the course of pregnancy to accommodate the growing foetus. In order that the uterine artery can deliver 10% of the entire maternal cardiac output, there are considerable structural and physiological changes that take place. There is a 30% increase in

Evidence from neuroimaging studies indicates that aberrant functionality in brain regions that support reward processing and habit formation may be related to an individual's eating behavior and obesity propensity. In particular, our previous research found that increased dopamine D2 receptor
