Objectives: This study evaluated the effects of a fiber-rich nutritional supplement on postprandial glycemic response and lipid parameters in overweight adults with and without impaired fasting glucose (IFG) in India. An ad-hoc analysis assessed the supplement’s effects on glycemic and lipid parameters in overweight adults with and without IFG.
Methods: This was a randomized, double-blind, single-center study including 96 subjects. Among them, 26 subjects had IFG (100-125 mg/dL). After an overnight fast and a high-fat standardized breakfast, subjects were stratified according to IFG status and randomized to a fiber-rich drink or an energy-matched non-fiber control drink. Blood was drawn at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 150, 180, 210- and 240-min following treatment administration to assess postprandial blood glucose, trigly.. View More»
