  • Title: Guar gum is not a panacea in diabetes management.
    Author: Carroll DG, Dykes V, Hodgson W.
    Journal: N Z Med J; 1981 May 13; 93(683):292-4. PubMed ID: 6265843.
    Abstract:
    Guar gum was incorporated into the diets of six insulin dependent diabetics drawn from one general practice. Amounts between 6 and 59.6 g daily were used for four to six weeks and compared with a previous two week control period. Unlike some other studies, little improvement was obtained in diabetic control and a small reduction in cholesterol levels occurred. The guar was well tolerated in amounts below 30 g a day.
