Brief summary

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.

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTNon digestible carbohydrates

the subjects will consume 2 bags of 10 grams per day of the product: 1 bag in the morning and 1 bag at lunch or in the evening, at the beginning of the meal, diluted in a large glass of beverage, during 12 weeks.

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTPlacebo

the subjects will consume 2 bags of 10 grams per day of the product: 1 bag in the morning and 1 bag at lunch or in the evening, at the beginning of the meal, diluted in a large glass of beverage, during 12 weeks.
