First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a liquid supplement made from carob extract can improve blood sugar control in people with prediabetes. Thirty adults with prediabetes will take either the carob supplement or a placebo before meals for a period of time. Researchers will measure changes in blood sugar and insulin levels to see if the supplement helps manage carbohydrate metabolism.
