The diet of 10 insulin-dependent diabetics was modified for 3 months by the addition of guar gum to buttermilk rusks. Control of glycaemia was assessed by serial determination of total glycosylated haemoglobin A1. The effect of guar on serum cholesterol levels was noted. Guar gum supplementation failed to improve the long-term diabetic control, but significantly reduced serum cholesterol levels (P less than 0,01). The effect of guar on lipoprotein levels should be investigated more fully.
10名胰岛素依赖型糖尿病患者的饮食在3个月内进行了调整，即在酪乳干面包中添加瓜尔豆胶。通过连续测定总糖化血红蛋白A1来评估血糖控制情况。记录了瓜尔豆胶对血清胆固醇水平的影响。补充瓜尔豆胶未能改善糖尿病的长期控制，但显著降低了血清胆固醇水平（P<0.01）。瓜尔豆胶对脂蛋白水平的影响应进行更全面的研究。
