About

The objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of the GOLO for Life® Plan (G4LP) and Release supplementation on glycemic control and weight in overweight and obese adults with Prediabetes or Type 2 Diabetes. The change in glycemic control from baseline at Days 90 and 180 following the G4LP and supplementation with Release will be assessed. Additionally, the safety and tolerability of the G4LP and Release supplementation will be measured by the occurrence of and/or changes in pre-emergent and post-emergent adverse events (AEs).
