Summary
This study looks at how dried figs affect blood sugar and insulin in adults with pre-diabetes. Five participants eat figs or a calorie-matched control breakfast, and researchers measure blood glucose, insulin, and fig polyphenol levels over 24 hours. The goal is to see if fig polyphenols help insulin work better, potentially making figs a helpful food for managing pre-diabetes.
