RESUMEN
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: High-performance (HP) inulin, a dietary fiber consists of more than 10 fructose polymers, have been shown to reduce post-prandial glycaemic response (PPGR) and could prevent the occurrence of Type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Currently, there are no data on whether pre-meal HP inulin supplementation could decrease PPGR. METHODS: 8 healthy adults consumed 20 g of formula that contain 60.2% inulin (w/w) dissolved in water. Blood glucose was measured in fasted participants and at 30-120 min after starting to eat a prepared meal. This test was repeated every week with different supplement formulas. CONCLUSION: pre-meal HP Inulin formula supplementation could suppress the post-prandial glycaemic response.
