Nutritional support for blood sugar control in teens with obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a personalized nutrition plan can help stabilize blood sugar in adolescents with obesity. If blood sugar levels are steadier, teens may feel fuller after meals, which could support healthier eating habits.
