First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether quercetin, a natural substance found in foods like apples and onions, can change how the body absorbs sugar. Researchers gave 24 obese adults (some with type 2 diabetes) either quercetin or a placebo during a sugar-drink test. They measured blood sugar levels over several hours to see if quercetin helped lower them. The goal was to understand if this common compound could help manage blood sugar.
