Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The goal of this study was to perform a clinical trial to compare the impact of herbal chickpea pulao (cooked Indian-Pakistani rice dish) on improving postprandial blood glucose levels in type-2 diabetic people. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Whether Indian rennet and fenugreek seed extract can modulate blood sugar levels or not?

• At what concentration the flavor, taste, and blood sugar impact were acceptable?

Participants were provided with control and intervention herbal chickpea pulao for a period of 21 days and asked to provide feedback on taste, flavor, and over-acceptability, and their postprandial blood glucose levels were checked.
