Summary
This study looks at whether a diet rich in whole white potatoes can improve blood sugar control and blood pressure in adults aged 50-70 who are at risk for type 2 diabetes.

Researchers will measure changes in glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, and blood pressure to see if potatoes can be part of a heart-healthy eating plan.
