This is a randomized double-blind trial, aiming to study the effect of yeast beta-glucan on immune system of prediabetic patients. Firstly, the investigators will go into the efficacy of yeast beta-glucan on improving the clinical symptoms of prediabetics. Secondly, the investigators will study the mechanism of yeast beta-glucan on enhancing the immune function and improving the inflammatory response.
