Formulas for Diabetes With Sucromalt & Isomaltulose on Glycemic Index, Hormones & Subjective Appetite in Type 2 Diabetes

Consumption of nutritional supplements with low glycemic carbohydrates induce favorable glycemic responses in subjects with type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of the intake of specific formulas for diabetes, with different types of carbohydrates (isomaltulose and sucromaltose) on the glycemic response, release of intestinal peptides and subjective appetite in Type 2 diabetic individuals. In a randomized, double-blind, cross-over study of 4 treatments, 16 subjects (56.60 ± 1.11 years). Fasting blood samples were taking, after that they were given to consume formula or reference product assigned randomly. Subsequently, samples of capillary and venous blood were obtained at times 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 min, after the start of consumption of the experimental beverage for the measurement of glucose, insulin, gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). The assessment of subjective appetite was measured by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).
