consuming broccoli extract (150µl of Sulphoraphane per dose) reduced fasting blood glucose by 0.3 mmol/l in 12 weeks.
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Sulforaphane from broccoli sprout extract improves fasting glucose and HbA1c (a marker for long-term blood glucose levels) in obese patients with dysregulated type 2 diabetes (12-week randomized placebo-controlled trial).
Another study showed that a broccoli sprout powder containing approximately 40 milligs of sulfurophane, an amount you might get from around 100 grams of fresh broccoli sprouts, reduced TNF alpha, a marker of inflammation, by 11% and lowered C reactive protein, another marker of inflammation, by 16% in people with type 2 diabetes.
40 milligrams of sul sulfurophane showed promise. in yet another study when it reduced TNF alpha, our marker of inflammation, by 11% and it lowered C reactive protein, another marker of inflammation, by 16%.
