Summary
The objective of this study is to determine the effect of 8 weeks of treatment with colesevelam HCl 3.75 g once daily with the evening meal on ß-cell function by evaluating the acute insulin response (AIRg) to an intravenous glucose load in subjects with prediabetes (impaired fasting glucose).
