Researchers will compare GlycoBite (red beans and tomato combine) snack bar to commercial snack bar to see if GlycoBite works to control blood glucose

Participants will:

1. Take 40 grams of GlycoBite or commercial snack bar every day for 3 weeks
2. Weekly fasting blood glucose monitoring and evaluations were carried out.
3. Monitoring glycemic control ( HbA1c Levels) before and after intervention.
