Evaluating a Liquid Extract of Carob to Improve Blood Sugar in People With Prediabetes

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Prediabetes (Insulin Resistance, Impaired Glucose Tolerance)

In brief

This study evaluates whether a liquid carob extract can improve blood glucose levels in individuals with prediabetes. Participants are selected according to predefined health criteria and randomly assigned to two groups: one group receives the carob extract and the other receives an inert liquid (placebo). Blood samples are collected and glucose-related parameters are measured throughout the study to assess changes over time. The objective is to determine whether this extract may contribute to better glycemic control and help prevent progression to diabetes.
