Assessing the Effects of a Buckwheat Beverage on Postprandial Glucose Metabolism on Healthy and T2D Individuals
Sponsor: University of Aberdeen
Summary
Buckwheat is a unique crop because is naturally rich in compounds that have shown beneficial effects on glucose metabolism. A constant high glucose level in blood after meal consumption is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular complications and death. In order to prevent Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D) and/or its complications it is important to have a strict control of the blood glucose levels after a meal. There are known therapies for the control of the high glucose blood levels such as agents that act on intestinal digestion of carbohydrates and therapeutic agents that mimic the insulin response after a meal. The combination of these type of agents was commonly prescribed in the treatment of T2D. The aim of the study is to assess the effect of a buckwheat beverage on postprandial glucose metabolism in healthy individuals and those with T2D controlled by medication and diet.
