Summary

This study tests whether a liquid carob extract can improve blood sugar levels in 70 adults with prediabetes. Participants take the extract or a placebo twice daily for 90 days. Researchers will measure blood glucose and insulin responses to see if the extract helps control blood sugar and may prevent progression to type 2 diabetes.
