Carob extract's effect on blood sugar in prediabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
