NCT ID NCT07298304
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether eating sorghum rice instead of white rice for one week could improve health in people with prediabetes. Twenty-six police officers with prediabetes took part. Half ate sorghum rice, and half ate white rice. The researchers measured changes in a hormone called leptin, which is linked to appetite and blood sugar control.
