title: Dietary supplementation of fibre (Lunelax) as a mean to reduce postprandial glucose in diabetics.
abstract: The postprandial glucose concentrations after a standardized breakfast of 12 type II diabetics were followed and the effect of supplementation of a fibre-containing bulk-purgative (Lunelax) to the meal was investigated. It was found that addition of Lunelax reduced the mean increment glucose concentration with about 9%. The patients reported that Lunelax was convenient to take.
