The study

The participants, who’d had diabetes for at least 1 year, were not receiving insulin therapy.

They were assigned to take either a supplement containing 1,467 milligrams of olive leaf extract (which contained 110 milligrams of oleuropein and 5 milligrams of hydroxytyrosol) or a placebo daily.

One of the researchers was an expert contributor to the Olive Wellness Institute, which funded the study, and was a paid consultant for Wellgrove Health, which manufactured the supplement.
