A new rice could tame blood sugar spikes in prediabetes
NCT ID NCT07762768
First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a specially developed high-protein, low-glycemic index rice can improve blood sugar control in adults with prediabetes. Participants will eat both this special rice and conventional rice in a crossover design, allowing each person to serve as their own control. Researchers will measure blood sugar, insulin, and hunger responses after meals, and track glucose over 72 hours. The goal is to see if this rice variety offers a practical dietary approach to managing prediabetes.
