  • Title: Decreased urinary glucose excretion and plasma cholesterol level in non-insulin dependent diabetic patients with guar.
    Author: Johansen K.
    Journal: Diabete Metab; 1981 Jun; 7(2):87-90. PubMed ID: 6265299.
    Abstract:
    The effect of guar gum in lowering urinary glucose excretion and plasma cholesterol was studied in ten sulphonylurea-treated non-insulin dependent diabetic patients during a four week treatment period. The 24-hour urinary glucose excretion fell gradually and increased again to pretreatment value after withdrawal of guar. The glucose output dropped by 33 and 51% in the 3rd and 4th week of the guar treatment period (p less than 0.01) compared to the mean of the pre-plus postguar level. The plasma cholesterol concentration also fell significantly during treatment with guar (p less than 0.01).
