Can a chromium supplement tame blood sugar before problems start?

NCT ID NCT07711587

First seen Jul 17, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026

Summary

This pilot study tests whether a daily dietary supplement called Diaplex can improve how the body handles blood sugar in healthy adults aged 30 to 65 who have mildly elevated glucose levels. Over 16 weeks, participants receive either Diaplex or a placebo, and researchers measure insulin sensitivity and blood sugar patterns using continuous glucose monitors. The goal is to gather preliminary data on safety and effectiveness to guide larger future studies.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a natural supplement for managing early blood sugar elevations in otherwise healthy people.
