*2.1. Demographic, Baseline Characteristics, and Compliance*

In total, 56 subjects were enrolled in the study with 61% (*n* = 34) women and 39% (*n* = 22) men. Participants were comparable for age, body weight, BMI, waist and hip circumferences, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, heart rate, lipid profile, fasting glycemia, and OGTT 2 h glycemia (Supplementary Table S1). Forty-four subjects had impaired fasting glucose (5.6–6.9 mmol/L), 22 had high blood glucose levels after a 2 h test (7.7–11.0 mmol/L), and 24 had elevated glycated hemoglobin concentration (5.5–6.4%). Among those, 31 participants met one criterion, whereas 16 and 9 participants met two and three criteria, respectively.
