View clinical trials related to Blood Sugar; High.
Filter by:The goal of this study is to learn about the relationship between blood sugar, diet, stress, and metabolic parameters including waist circumference, body mass index (BMI), cholesterol levels and blood pressure in patients at risk for diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are 1) are there trends in blood sugar responses after meals for patients at risk of developing diabetes? And 2) are there correlations between stress and fluctuations in blood sugar? During the first visit, participant's waist circumference, body composition, cholesterol, and resting blood pressure will be measured, and a continuous glucose monitor sensor will be placed on the participant's non-dominant arm. This sensor will be worn for seven days, and the participant will be asked to complete a daily food log during that time. Each participant will be asked to return to clinic after one week to return the continuous glucose monitor and daily food log.
Antioxidant qualities have been attributed to wheatgrass and tulsi formulation. Free radicals are unstable molecules created by the body during metabolism and exposure to environmental pollutants. Antioxidants are chemicals that can help stop or reduce cell damage caused by these unstable molecules. Oxidative stress, which is brought on by free radicals, has been connected to a number of health issues, including chronic inflammation, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and ageing. Wheatgrass is a rich source of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and chlorophyll, which have been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Tulsi, also known as holy basil, is an herb that has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries and has been found to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties. Several studies have investigated the antioxidant properties of wheatgrass and tulsi formulation. For instance, a study published in the Journal of Food Science and Technology in 2015 found that wheatgrass extract had significant antioxidant activity, as measured by its ability to scavenge free radicals and reduce lipid peroxidation in vitro.
