This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether adding peanuts or peanut products to your diet can help improve your heart health, brain function, and digestive health if you have prediabetes. You would eat peanut butter, dry roasted peanuts, or peanut flour on a regular schedule for six months, and researchers would measure changes in your blood sugar levels, blood pressure, cholesterol, thinking and memory, and gut bacteria.
Prediabetes affects millions of Americans and can lead to serious health problems like heart disease and memory loss. While early research suggests that peanuts may help prevent these problems, no one has thoroughly studied whether eating peanuts specifically helps people with prediabetes. This trial aims to fill that gap.

You would be randomly assigned to either eat peanut products (peanut butter, roasted peanuts, or peanut flour) a few times per week for six months, or to not make any dietary changes. Throughout the study, you would have blood tests to measure your blood sugar and cholesterol, physical tests to check your heart and blood vessel health, and possibly an MRI scan of your brain. The researchers would also test your gut bacteria and ask about your memory and thinking.
