Summary

Randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial with two parallel arms based on the product consumed (experimental product and placebo product) and conducted at a single center, to measure the efficacy of the liquid NUTIFOOD product (nutritional product with carob extract) on carbohydrate metabolism.

Detailed description

This study evaluates the effects of NUTIFOOD (liquid nutritional product with carob extract) on insulin sensitivity and carbohydrate metabolism in subjects with abnormal glucose or HbA1c levels not on antidiabetic medication, over 90 days. Key assessments include: Glucose response (AUC and peak levels) during an oral glucose tolerance test. Changes in fasting glucose, HbA1c, and basal insulin. Insulin resistance measured by HOMA-IR and QUICKI. Effects on body composition. Safety and tolerability of the product. The study aims to determine the potential of NUTIFOOD as a nutritional intervention to improve glucose regulation and metabolic health.

Conditions

• Prediabetes
