The purpose of this study is to determine whether daily mango consumption for 6 weeks can improve glucose utilization in individuals with prediabetes. The findings from this research may help explore the potential role of mangoes in a healthy diet for people at risk of developing type 2 diabetes
The proposed project is based on the hypothesis that mango enhances whole-body insulin sensitivity through increased antioxidant-mediated mechanisms. Accordingly, the primary objective is to explore whole-body insulin sensitivity, as measured by the Matsuda index, in individuals with Pre-DM following 6 weeks of mango consumption. The secondary objective is to clarify the underlying mechanism of action through enhanced antioxidant status. The tertiary object will be to monitor glucose concentration using CGM before and during (the last 10 days of the interventions) to understand the real-time d…
