ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: To examine the effects of sugar beet pectin (SBP) and polydextrose (PDX) on fasting plasma glucose concentration, serum lipid profile and postprandial glycemia in

middle-aged subjects with abnormal glucose metabolism. DESIGN: A placebo-controlled, randomized, parallel double-blinded study. SUBJECTS AND SETTING: Subjects were recruited via newspaper

announcements. Seventy subjects were recruited of which 66 completed the study. INTERVENTION: The intervention period lasted for 12 weeks during which the subjects consumed a drink enriched

with either SBP (_n_=22) or PDX (_n_=22) or without fiber enrichment (control group, _n_=22). The daily dose of the drinks was 4 dl. The subjects were also given nutrition counseling.

Postprandial glycemia was examined in 24 subjects (_n_=8 in each group) at 0 and 12 weeks after a standardized breakfast. RESULTS: Fasting plasma glucose concentration did not change in the

SBP and PDX groups, whereas it increased in the control group (_P_=0.007). On the contrary, the glycosylated hemoglobin A1c increased marginally but significantly (_P_⩽0.05) in the

intervention groups without a change in the control group. In postprandial glycemia, no differences between the groups were found. In both the SBP and PDX groups, fasting serum High-density

lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol concentration increased (_P_⩽0.05) without a change in the control group. Total to HDL-cholesterol ratio decreased in all groups (_P_⩽0.05). CONCLUSIONS: It was

found that SBP and PDX do not have positive effects on fasting or postprandial plasma glucose concentrations or serum lipid profile in subjects with abnormal glucose metabolism.
