Diabetes cookie trial: could a daily snack lower blood sugar and save feet?
NCT ID NCT07151833
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether eating four GlucoBites cookies daily for 12 weeks can improve blood sugar control and reduce the risk of diabetic foot ulcers in adults with type 2 diabetes. The cookies contain an herb called Gynura procumbens. Researchers will compare blood sugar, insulin resistance, and foot health in 126 participants who either get the active cookies or placebo cookies.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Gynura procumbens extract in a cookie
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a simple, food-based way to help manage blood sugar and lower the risk of diabetic foot ulcers.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 126 participants over 12 weeks. The cookies are a supplement, not a replacement for standard diabetes care, and results may not apply to everyone.
