Clinical trials

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to learn if GlucoBites functional cookies containing Gynura procumbens can help improve blood sugar control and lower the risk of diabetic foot ulcers in adults with type 2 diabetes. The main questions are: * Do GlucoBites cookies lower fasting blood glucose and HbA1c? * Do GlucoBites cookies improve insulin resistance and vascular health? * Can GlucoBites reduce early signs that may lead to diabetic foot ulcers? Researchers will compare: * Intervention group: participants will eat 4 GlucoBites cookies every day for 12 weeks. * Control group: participants will continue standard diabetes care without GlucoBites. Participants will: * Visit the community health center for blood tests and foot health checks. * Be monitored for blood sugar, insulin resistance, lipid profile, and vascular function. * Be assessed for early risk of diabetic foot ulcer development. This study will help determine if a functional food innovation can support diabetes care and prevent complications.
