A randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study was conducted on 60 subjects with impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. The subjects were randomly assigned to either a group ingesting 40 g jerusalem artichoke and fermented soybean powder mixture supplementation daily or a placebo group for 12-week. We assessed fasting and postprandial levels of glucose.
