Does eating lean pork help control blood sugar in prediabetes?
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether eating lean pork loin for a few days can improve how your body handles protein and blood sugar. If you have prediabetes, you may be able to join a short 4-day meal study at the University of Arkansas.

This study tests a special high-protein, low-glycaemic index rice to see if it helps control blood sugar levels in people with prediabetes. Glycaemic index is a measure of how quickly a food raises blood sugar, so this rice may be better for managing blood sugar than regular rice.
