NCT ID NCT03847701
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a diet rich in slowly digestible starch (SDS) could improve blood sugar control and reduce inflammation in people with type 2 diabetes. Fifty-three adults with type 2 diabetes followed either a high-SDS or low-SDS diet for three months. Researchers measured blood sugar patterns and other health markers to see if the high-SDS diet offered benefits.
