Recruitment is now closed for the BETA Study. Thank you to everyone who took part.

Researchers at the Quadram Institute Bioscience are looking for participants with pre-diabetes aged 18 years and older to take part in the BETA Study.

The BETA study is investigating how eating broccoli, when eaten as a soup, affects sugar (glucose) accumulation in the blood of individuals with pre-diabetes.

During the 36-week study duration, participants will be asked to consume two vegetable soups containing broccoli or courgette. We will collect:

  • Fasting blood at multiple times and during oral sugar tolerance tests,
  • 24-hour urine collections,
  • Dietary questionnaires.
