About this trial
The purpose of this research study is to determine if a healthy Mediterranean diet containing one medium potato/day has equivalent or non-different effects on risk factors for type 2 diabetes and heart disease compared to a healthy Mediterranean diet without potatoes in adults with prediabetes. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the test diets and be asked to consume this diet for 12 weeks (84 days). Testing will be conducted at the beginning and end of the study.
