Fiber-rich foods to support healthy gut bacteria
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether eating certain fiber-rich whole foods can help support healthy gut bacteria, which may improve blood sugar control in people with prediabetes. If you are overweight and have prediabetes, this trial might help you learn how diet changes could be good for your health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 25 and 35, which is in the overweight or obese range.
- You have prediabetes, meaning your blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet diabetic.
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have not taken antibiotics, probiotics, or prebiotics in the last month.
