Pre-diabetes is characterised by high blood glucose levels, high plasma cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Dietary fibre consumption has been hypothesised to improve these metabolic parameters through the viscous properties, and the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) in the intestine.
This trial will investigate whether a powdered fibre mix helps maintain healthy blood glucose levels in participants with pre-diabetes, where high blood sugar is a risk of diabetes.
