ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating whether eating peanuts and peanut products every day can help improve health in people with prediabetes. Prediabetes means that blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a diabetes diagnosis. The study will last for 13 months and will include a diverse group of participants to see if peanuts can positively affect heart health, brain function, and gut health.

To participate, individuals need to be between 20 and 59 years old and have prediabetes, which is defined as having fasting blood sugar levels between 100-125 mg/dL or a specific test result (HbA1c) between 5.7-6.4%. However, people with peanut allergies, certain medical conditions, or those taking specific medications will not be eligible to join. Participants can expect to incorporate peanuts into their daily diet and track their health over the study period. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and it's a great opportunity for those looking to improve their health through diet.
