Brief summary

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

Detailed description

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.
