Study Summary

The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate the impact of zinc supplementation on fasting glucose levels, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and other indices of glucose homeostasis in individuals with prediabetes. The investigators hypothesize that prediabetic subjects receiving zinc will demonstrate a greater decrease in HbA1c and blood glucose compared to prediabetic subjects receiving placebo. Specific Aim: Conduct a prospective, double-blind randomized clinical trial comparing the effects of 12 months of zinc supplementation (zinc gluconate 30 milligram \[mg\] per day) versus placebo on glucose homeostasis. Based upon expected effect size and power calculations, and anticipating a 20% drop-out rate, the investigators will study 200 prediabetic subjects (100 per group) using a 1:1 randomization design. HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose, and other measures will be obtained at 0, 6, and 12 months and will be compared between zinc supplementation and placebo groups.

Primary Outcome

One of the investigator's primary endpoints will be to determine the difference in fasting glucose levels between zinc-treated and placebo-treated individuals after 1 year of receiving study drug
