Effect of Resistant Starch Type 4 on Glycemia and Insulin Sensitivity in Young Adults

Effect of Resistant Starch Type 4 on Glycemia and Insulin Sensitivity in Young Adults

This study tested the effects of resistant starch type 4 on blood sugar and hunger in young adults with Type 2 diabetes.

To measure the blood glucose response, after an overnight fast, blood samples were collected before eating and at 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 minutes after each each bar. The incremental area under the curve was used to calculate the glycemic index and insulin sensitivity via minimal model.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Apparently Healthy (not diagnosed with disease)
• Young Adults (18-35)

Exclusion Criteria:

• Diagnosed with diabetes or other metabolic disorders
• Allergies to Wheat
• Non-smokers
