Charles Sturt University (CSU) researchers are looking for people with high blood glucose levels to take part in a clinical trial based in Wagga Wagga. The research through the School of Biomedical Sciences at CSU in Wagga Wagga is investigating whether olive leaf extract can help prevent pre-diabetic patients from developing this debilitating disease. "Evidence shows that antioxidants may slow the development of Type 2 diabetes, and olive leaf extract shows very high levels of some antioxidants," said CSU PhD student Mr Muhammad Kamran, who is hoping to recruit people to take part in a three-month clinical trial beginning in January. "We need people who have high blood glucose levels but have not yet been diagnosed with diabetes. It's also important that these people are not taking diabetes medication," he said. People interested in taking part in the trial can contact Mr Kamran by email.
