Interaction Between Inorganic Nitrate Supplementation and Metformin in Individuals With Prediabetes

Participants will be supplemented with inorganic nitrate in the form of beetroot juice for 4 days (12.9 mmol of NO3/day), and their vascular health, insulin sensitivity, and exercise capacity will be measured post-supplementation. This is a randomized crossover design with 2 parallel groups (Group 1: Currently taking metformin, Group 2: Naive to metformin).
