Beta Glucan In Diabetes Treatments

Soluble fibers are more effective for the management of diabetes, obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and different cancers when compared with insoluble fibers. The ingestion of foods with a low glycaemic index is a helpful alternative in controlling diabetes. The hypocholesterolemic and hypoglycemic effects of β-glucan are due to its high viscosity and high molecular weight. For this reason, β-glucan is chosen by the food industry to manufacture various types of functional foods. β- glucans, which are also having form as Oat β-glucan (OβG), including primarily of the linear polysaccharide (1→ 3), (1→ 4)-β-D-glucan is a vital food supplement for achieving insulin responses and decreasing postprandial glucose. Also, β-glucans accelerate wound healing and prevent ischemic heart injury disease. Dose, physicochemical properties, and processing techniques are important factors in controlling glycaemia by emerging the effects of β-glucans.
