Another study published in the international journal of medicine QJM found that diets rich in oleic acid, such as the Mediterranean diet, can improve
plasma glucose, insulin sensitivity and blood circulation under fasting conditions, which suggests a direct link with better diabetes control and a
reduced risk for other serious diseases.
Fasting
plasma glucose and insulin concentrations were
reduced to control concentrations, and
plasma insulin concentrations during the OGTT were significantly lower than those in the the rats fed fructose only at all time - points.
When Sprague - Dawley rats were fed a diet including 148 mg green tea catechins / d for 12 d, fasting
plasma glucose and insulin concentrations and the insulin response to an oral
glucose load (2 g
glucose / kg body wt) were significantly
reduced (9).
Plasma glucose was maintained at 88 ± 2 mg / dl during the euglycemic phase and
reduced to 67 ± 1 mg / dl during the hypoglycemic phase of the study.
In one study with type 2 diabetics with near - normal fasting
plasma glucose concentrations, 15 g / d of guar gum did not
reduce the excessive postprandial glycemic response (Holman et al., 1987).
Both the oat bran and wheat farina with oat gum meals
reduced the postprandial rise in
plasma glucose and insulin concentrations compared to the wheat farina meal without the oat gum.
