Carob extract for blood sugar in people with prediabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a liquid extract from carob (a type of tree) to see if it helps lower blood sugar levels in people with prediabetes. If you have prediabetes and are looking for a natural supplement to help manage your blood sugar, this study might be relevant for you.

This study tests whether a nutritional product with carob extract can help people with slightly high blood sugar (glucose intolerance or prediabetes) improve how their body handles carbohydrates. It may help lower blood sugar and reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
This study tests whether a special cooking oil (diacylglycerol oil) can improve blood sugar and other health markers in people with prediabetes. You will receive all meals during the study, and the oil is used in place of regular oil.
This study tests whether a Mediterranean-style diet can help people with prediabetes manage their blood sugar. You'll follow a specific eating plan and the researchers will check your health over time.
This study tests a special rice developed by scientists that is high in protein and has a low glycemic index. Eating this rice might help control blood sugar spikes after meals, which could delay or prevent diabetes. You would eat the rice and have your blood sugar measured to see how your body responds.
This trial tests whether a food supplement can help people with prediabetes (higher than normal blood sugar) improve their blood sugar levels. It may be an option if you are overweight but not obese and have not been diagnosed with diabetes.
This study is testing whether a prebiotic soda (a type of soda with extra fiber) can help improve blood sugar control in adults with prediabetes. You would replace 2-3 of your regular sodas each day with the study soda for a set period of time.
