Antioxidant-rich diets may fight inflammation in type 2 diabetes — a study investigates
NCT ID NCT07734428
First seen Jul 29, 2026 · Last updated Jul 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study looks at whether the total antioxidant capacity of a person's diet is linked to levels of inflammation and nutritional health in adults with type 2 diabetes. Researchers will compare people with well-controlled blood sugar to those with poorly controlled blood sugar. The goal is to understand if eating more antioxidant-rich foods could help manage inflammation and improve metabolic health.
