Read our Type 2 Diabetes research guide →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 three traditional African fruits and vegetables — hibiscus, forest bitter berries, and tamarind — can help control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Researchers will ask you to eat test meals containing powders made from these plants and measure how your body responds. The goal is to see if these local, affordable foods could be a natural way to support diabetes management.
Many people with type 2 diabetes struggle to keep their blood sugar stable, and medication alone isn't always enough. This treatment aims to explore whether traditional fruits and vegetables that are already grown locally in Uganda might offer an affordable, natural way to help improve blood sugar control.

Over 5 weeks, you will visit the study site multiple times for test days (about 3 hours each). On each visit, you'll eat a meal enriched with powder from one of the three fruits or vegetables, or a plain reference meal. Between visits, you'll have a 5–7 day break to let your body return to normal. During each visit, researchers will measure how your blood sugar and other health markers respond to the meal.
