People with poor insulin sensitivity do not respond normally to elevations in blood sugar. This may increase their risk of developing diabetes in the future. The purpose of this research study is to determine if the nutrient betaine, found in beets, spinach and wheat products, can enhance the production of fetal growth factor 21 (FGF21), a molecule that is believed to promote insulin sensitivity.
