Summary

This study tests whether eating 1.5 cups of fresh mango daily for 12 weeks can improve blood sugar, cholesterol, and inflammation in people with prediabetes. Thirty-one participants will eat mango for 12 weeks, then take a break, and then avoid mango for another 12 weeks. Researchers will compare health markers between the two periods to see if mango makes a difference.
