NCT ID NCT06867198
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether eating peanuts and peanut products daily for six months can improve blood sugar, blood pressure, thinking skills, and gut health in people with prediabetes. Researchers will enroll 72 adults from diverse racial backgrounds. Participants will eat different forms of peanuts (butter, roasted, or flour) on a rotating schedule. The goal is to see if this simple dietary change can help control prediabetes and prevent progression to type 2 diabetes.
