Diabetes mellitus has become a troublesome and increasingly widespread condition. Treatment strategies for diabetes prevention in high-risk as well as in affected individuals are largely attributed to improvements in lifestyle and dietary control. Therefore, it is important to understand the nutritional factors to be used in dietary intervention. A decreased risk of diabetes is associated with daily intake of millet-based foods. Pearl millet is a highly nutritious grain, nutritionally comparable and even superior in calories, protein, vitamins, and minerals to other large cereals, although its intake is confined to lower income segments of society. Pearl millet contains phenolic compounds which possess antidiabetic activity. Thus, it can be used to prepare a variety of food products for diabetes mellitus. Moreover, it also has many health benefits, including combating diabetes mellitus, cancer, cardiovascular conditions, decreasing tumour occurrence, lowering blood pressure, heart disease risk, cholesterol, and fat absorption rate. Therefore, the current review addresses the role of pearl millet in managing diabetes.
糖尿病已成为一种麻烦且日益普遍的疾病。高危人群和已患病个体的糖尿病预防治疗策略主要归因于生活方式和饮食控制的改善。因此，了解用于饮食干预的营养因素非常重要。食用以小米为基础的食物可降低患糖尿病的风险。珍珠小米是一种营养丰富的谷物，其热量、蛋白质、维生素和矿物质与其他大型谷物相当，甚至更优，尽管其摄入量仅限于社会的低收入群体。珍珠小米含有具有降血糖活性的酚类化合物。因此，它可以用来制备各种针对糖尿病的食品。此外，它还有许多健康益处，包括对抗糖尿病、癌症、心血管疾病、降低肿瘤发生率、降低血压、心脏病风险、胆固醇和脂肪吸收率。因此，本综述探讨了珍珠小米在糖尿病管理中的作用。
