“…Effective control of hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia and hypertension, either by medication or by lifestyle intervention, is crucial to decrease the incidence of stroke, myocardial infarction and renal disease, as well as the related premature death [1], [2]. Intervention studies have examined the impact of dietary intake on glycemic control, and found that higher intake of dietary fiber [3], [4] and lower intakes of dietary fat [5], glycemic index (GI) [6] and carbohydrate [7] improved glycemic control status. In the Nurses' Health Study, He, et al [8] observed a potential benefit of whole grain, cereal fiber and bran intake in reducing mortality and cardiovascular risk in diabetic patients.…”

BackgroundDietary factors play an important role in glycemic control in diabetic patients. However, little is known about their effects among Chinese diabetic patients, whose diets are typically abundant in fiber and high in glycemic index (GI) values.Methodology/Principal Findings934 patients with type 2 diabetes and 918 healthy volunteers from Pudong New Area, Shanghai, China, were interviewed during the period of Oct-Dec, 2006 to elicit demographic characteristics and lifestyle factors. Dietary habits were assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire. Anthropometric measurements, bio-specimen collection and biochemical assays were conducted at the interview according to a standard protocol. In this population, diabetic patients consumed lower levels of energy and macronutrients but had higher levels of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycolated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), triglyceride and body mass index than healthy adults. While the average consumption levels of the nutrients among diabetic patients did not vary along duration of the disease, the average levels of FPG and HbA1c increased with increasing duration. Regardless of diabetes duration, HbA1c level was observed lower in patients having a higher fiber or lower GI intake. Compared with those with the lowest tertile intake of fiber, the adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for poor glycemic control reduced from 0.75 (95%CI: 0.54–1.06) to 0.51 (95%CI: 0.34–0.75) with increasing tertile intake (P for trend <0.001).ConclusionsDietary fiber may play an important role in reducing HbA1c level. Increasing fiber intake may be an effective approach to improve glycemic control among Chinese diabetic patients.

“…On the other hand, many Western countries now only use barley predominantly for animal feed and malting. However, there has been renewed interest worldwide in barley as food due to its many health benefits, including its potential in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease via cholesterol lowering (Behall et al, 2004a, b;Keenan et al, 2007;Shimizu et al, 2008), and improvement of glucose tolerance (Pick et al, 1998;Behall et al, 2006;Hinata et al, 2007). The active ingredient thought to provide barley its health benefits is b-glucan.…”

β-glucan from barley and its lipid-lowering capacity: a meta-analysis of randomized, controlled trials

Background/Objectives: To more precisely quantify the effect of barley b-glucan on blood lipid concentrations in humans and to examine the factors that could affect its efficacy. Subjects/Methods: Eleven eligible randomized clinical trials published from 1989 to 2008 were identified from nine databases. Weighted mean effect sizes were calculated for net differences in lipid profile using a random effect model (RevMan 4.2). Results: Overall, barley and b-glucan isolated from barley lowered total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentrations by 0.30 mmol/l (95% confidence interval (CI): À0.39 to À0.21, Po0.00001) and 0.27 mmol/l (95% CI: À0.34 to À0.20, Po0.00001), respectively, compared with control. The pattern of cholesterol-lowering action of barley in this analysis could not be viewed as a dose-dependent response. There were no significant subgroup differences by type of intervention and food matrix. Conclusions: Increased consumption of barely products should be considered as a dietary approach to reduce LDL cholesterol concentrations.

“…Hence, β-glucan supplement addition significantly blunted the glycaemic and insulinaemic responses on the food. Hinata et al (2007) also observed dramatic decrease in fasting plasma glucose levels with diet of cooked rice and barley mixture (7:3 ratios) containing 18.7 g/day soluble fiber in diabetic male prisoners. Thondre and Henry (2009) fortified the unleavened Indian flat breads (chapatis) with barley β-glucan and evaluated the glycemic response.…”

Food and nutrition science has moved from identifying and correcting nutritional deficiencies to designing foods that promote optimal health and reduce the risk of disease. Diabetes is rapidly emerging as a pandemic. It is also accompanied by several health implications viz. cardiovascular diseases, obesity, hypertension, cancer, depression, and eating disorders. International Diabetes Federation estimates that in 2010, India is home to 50.8 million diabetics and the number is expected to go up to a whopping 87 million by 2030. The primary goal of medical nutrition therapy was to design special dietary products for patients with hyperglycemia, intended in controlling postprandial plasma glucose fluctuations and hypercholesterolemic tendencies. However, an effective way to minimize these health risks could be through modifications in the diet by inclusion of multiple functional ingredients, aimed for their concerted role in management of individuals suffering with diabetes.
