NCT ID NCT07289880
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether replacing regular cooking oil with diacylglycerol (DAG) oil for four weeks can improve blood sugar, cholesterol, and body composition in 40 middle-aged and older adults with prediabetes. Participants will either use DAG oil or colza oil, while keeping all other habits the same. The goal is to see if this simple dietary change can lower metabolic risk factors.
