    Abstract:
    We studied the effect of diet with wheat bran for 4 weeks on the metabolic balances of Zn, Cu, Ca and Mg in 10 diabetics who had been well-controlled, and compared with 10 healthy persons and 14 uncontrolled diabetics. The amount of wheat bran used was 0.4 g/kg/day. Our results showed that wheat bran could lower blood glucose, increase the intestinal absorption and positive balance of Zn, whereas no effect on the metabolic balances of Ca, Cu and Mg. It was concluded that diabetic diet adding appropriate wheat bran was helpful for diabetic control and the correction of Zn deficiency.
