Avocado and mango diet shows promise for Pre-Diabetes health
NCT ID NCT05353790
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether eating one avocado and one cup of mango daily for 8 weeks could improve blood vessel health and thinking in 82 adults with pre-diabetes. Participants were randomly assigned to either a diet including these fruits or a matched control diet. Researchers measured artery flexibility, blood pressure, eye blood vessels, and cognitive function. The goal was to see if this simple dietary change could help manage pre-diabetes and reduce related health risks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- avocado and mango
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple dietary approach to improve blood vessel function and possibly slow progression from pre-diabetes to type 2 diabetes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed trial with 82 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Dietary changes alone may not be enough to reverse pre-diabetes, and any benefits might be modest.
