Herbal cookies for blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a special cookie made with an herb called Gynura procumbens to see if it helps lower blood sugar and reduce the risk of foot ulcers in people with type 2 diabetes. If you are at risk for foot problems, eating these cookies might improve your blood sugar control and protect your feet.
