Efectos Principales

The intervention group showed a significant reduction in postprandial blood glucose levels by 25 mg/dL (p < 0.01).

The intervention group demonstrated a significant decrease in HbA1c levels by 0.5% (p < 0.05).

The control group exhibited no significant changes in fasting plasma glucose levels.
