A new rice to help control blood sugar in prediabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
