Study to Assess the Effects of Non Digestible Carbohydrates on Long-Term Glucose Homeostasis in Untreated Prediabetic Subjects

Overview

This clinical study aims to prove that the efficacy of non digestible carbohydrates supplementation (daily dose of 20 grams consumed twice a day for 12 weeks) on the regulation of glucose homeostasis is superior than placebo in prediabetic subjects.
