Summary
This pilot study tests whether a relaxing virtual reality (VR) experience can help manage blood sugar after eating white bread. Twenty healthy adults will try a calming VR, a scary VR, a fake VR room, or just sit in a real room before and after a meal. Researchers will measure blood sugar, stress, and heart rate to see if this approach is feasible for larger studies.
