Effect of Rubus Occidentalis Extract on Plasma Glucose Levels in Subject With Prediabetes; A Proof-of-concept, Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel-group Placebo-controlled Study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Rubus occidentalis extract could improve fasting or postprandial serum glucose levels, and related metabolic markers among patients with prediabetes (impaired fasting glucose and/or impaired glucose tolerance).
