Acute Nutritional Ketosis and Its Implications for Plasma Glucose and Glucoregulatory Peptides in Adults with Prediabetes: A Crossover Placebo-Controlled Randomized Trial

Background The potential of a ketone monoester (β-hydroxybutyrate; KEβHB) supplement to rapidly mimic a state of nutritional ketosis offers a new therapeutic possibility for diabetes prevention and management. While KEβHB supplementation has a glucose-lowering effect in adults with obesity, its impact on glucose control in other insulin-resistant states is unknown. Objectives The primary objective was to investigate the effect of...
