The effect of fenugreek on postprandial glucose and insulin levels following the meal tolerance test (MTT) was studied in non-insulin dependent diabetics (NIDDM). The addition of powdered fenugreek seed (15 g) soaked in water significantly reduced the subsequent postprandial glucose levels. The plasma insulin also tended to be lower in NIDDM given fenugreek but without a statistical difference. Fenugreek had no effect on lipid levels 3 h following the MTT. Fenugreek may have a potential benefit in the treatment of NIDDM.
在非胰岛素依赖型糖尿病患者（NIDDM）中研究了胡芦巴对餐后糖耐量试验（MTT）后餐后血糖和胰岛素水平的影响。添加用水浸泡过的胡芦巴种子粉（15克）可显著降低随后的餐后血糖水平。给予胡芦巴的NIDDM患者血浆胰岛素水平也有降低趋势，但无统计学差异。MTT后3小时，胡芦巴对血脂水平无影响。胡芦巴在NIDDM治疗中可能具有潜在益处。
