Impact of Bread Made from Mix Cereals and Pulses on the Glycemic Profile in Type 2 Diabetic Patients - A Randomized Controlled Trial
2015
Varieties of non-wheat cereal crops grow in Bangladesh, studies on the formulation and uses of composite flour
are inconsistent and uncommon. Even though the effect of several other functional foods on glycemic profile has been
studied, little is known about the effect of composite flour on glycemic profile in type-2 diabetic patients. A total of 30
type-2 diabetic patients were recruited and randomized into control (13 patients) and intervention group (17 patients). Before
randomization, in 28 days run in period, base line anthropometric data and their habitual energy requirements were
measured. After randomization, conventional wheat bread and bread from composite flour was fed to control and intervention
group respectively for another 28 days. After each 7 days both fasted and after 2 hours postprandial blood glucose
level were measured and statistically compared (p ≤ 0.05) with the respective group’s blood glucose level measured at the
beginning of the intervention. A total of 6 patients were dropped out from the study. After each 7 days, in intervention
group, postprandial blood glucose level was found significantly lowered (p ≤ 0.001), whereas fasted blood glucose level
was only decreased significantly (p ≤ 0.005) after 28 days. There were no significant effects (p > 0.05) on fasted and postprandial
glucose level in control group. The present study suggests that Bread made from composite flour with high fiber
could be a novel and potentially effective method for glycemic control in type-2 diabetic patients compared with low fiber
containing normal wheat bread.
