Summary

This trial will study the effects of whole wheat consumption on gut microbiota and human health in adults with pre-diabetes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with pre-diabetes who have a BMI of 30-35 and fasting blood glucose levels between 100-125 mg/dL. It's not for those who drink more than two alcoholic drinks daily, are pregnant, have liver or heart disease, diabetes, cancer, take certain medications or supplements for blood sugar or cholesterol issues, exercise intensely over five hours weekly, smoke, recently used antibiotics or anti-fungals, or have chronic gut disorders.
What is being tested?
The study tests how whole wheat bread affects the balance of gut microbes and health in people with pre-diabetes compared to white bread. Participants will eat either whole wheat (4 servings) or white bread daily for two weeks in random order before providing stool and blood samples to see if there are any changes.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from changing diet to include whole wheat might be digestive discomfort such as bloating or gas. White bread is unlikely to cause new side effects unless participants have an intolerance.
