This study lasts 13 months and aims to see if eating peanuts helps people with prediabetes, a condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be diabetes. It looks at how peanuts affect heart health, brain function, and gut health.
Participants will eat peanuts or peanut products several times a week for six months. The study will measure changes in blood sugar, blood pressure, brain function, and gut health. The focus is on whether peanuts can help prevent type 2 diabetes (T2DM), a disease where the body doesn't use insulin properly. Peanuts are chosen because they have good nutrients like healthy fats and fiber.
Participants must be aged 20-59 and have prediabetes. They cannot join if they are allergic to peanuts, use certain medications, have certain diseases, or are pregnant.
- The study lasts over a year, with six months of peanut consumption.
- Participants must avoid certain medications and supplements.
- No compensation is mentioned for participating in the study.
