    Area of Science:

    • Dietary science
    • Metabolic disorders
    • Nutritional intervention

    Background:

    • Diabetes mellitus management requires effective dietary strategies.
    • Blood glucose control is crucial for preventing diabetic complications.
    • Dietary fiber, like guar gum, has shown potential in modulating glucose metabolism.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of a novel guar-containing biscuit in a diabetic diet.
    • To assess the impact of this biscuit on postprandial blood glucose and overall glycemic control.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and incorporation of guar-containing biscuits into diabetic diets.
    • Short- and medium-term clinical studies to monitor blood glucose levels.
    • Assessment of fasting blood glucose and 24-hour urinary glucose excretion.

    Main Results:

    • Significant reduction in postprandial blood glucose rise observed.
    • Improved glycemic control demonstrated by lower fasting blood glucose.
    • Decreased 24-hour urinary glucose excretion indicates better glucose management.
    • Guar biscuits were found palatable and acceptable to patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Guar-containing biscuits are an effective dietary adjunct for managing diabetes.
    • This novel formulation requires smaller quantities for efficacy compared to previous studies.
    • Palatability and acceptability suggest good patient compliance for this therapeutic option.
