Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the glycaemic controlling effects of BSG and bio-transformed BSG-containing biscuits in Singapore adults with MetS. The investigators hypothesized that consumption of BSG and bio-transformed BSG containing biscuit will improve glycaemic control.

Conditions
