Carob extract for better blood sugar in prediabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests if a liquid extract from carob can help people with prediabetes improve their blood sugar control. It's looking for volunteers who have higher than normal blood sugar but not yet diabetes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
