5. Conclusions
T2DM
INSULIN SENSITIVITY
In conclusion, our study demonstrated that supplementation with either fermented or non-fermented aronia extract did not affect waist circumference, insulin sensitivity, or fasting levels of glucose, insulin, or glucagon in subjects with T2DM. To our knowledge, this study is the first examination of dietary supplementation with aronia extracts on glucose metabolism in subjects with T2DM. Our research contributes to the expanding body of knowledge on aronia supplementation on human health. However, there is a need for further investigations, particularly on the effect of longer intervention periods as well as a need for studies with a larger sample size.
