Effect of consuming fiber from corn bran, soy hulls, or apple powder on glucose tolerance and plasma lipids in type II diabetes.

The effects of consuming corn bran, soy hulls, or apple powder on glucose and lipid metabolism were investigated in two studies of persons with type II diabetes. Fiber sources, completely or partially added to bread, were incorporated into subjects' self-selected diets. Low fiber white bread served as a control. In study A, 10 subjects consumed 26 g fiber source daily; in study B, eight subjects consumed 52 g fiber source. Biochemical tests, including a 2-h postprandial glucose test using a low fiber formula meal, were scheduled after 2 and 4 wk of each dietary treatment. Soy hull consumption slightly improved some measures of glucose tolerance, with results varying between the studies. Consumption of 52 g corn bran decreased very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, and glycosylated Hb, but subject tolerance was poor with the particle size used. Consumption of 52 g apple powder increased low-density lipoprotein and total cholesterol levels.

Nonwarning hypoglycemia in drivers with diabetes.

Physicians are urged to identify the diabetic prone to nonwarning hypoglycemic reactions. Each patient's therapeutic regimen should be thoroughly reevaluated, and self-monitoring of the blood glucose should be instituted as a preventive measure. The inherent driving hazards of nonwarning hypoglycemia can be virtually eliminated by determining the glucose level just before driving and at one- to two-hour intervals on extended trips, and by maintaining the blood glucose at about 200 mg per dL.

Pitfalls in the early diagnosis of diabetes.

The glucose tolerance test remains the most acceptable approach to the early diagnosis of mild diabetes in adults in the absence of significantly elevated fasting blood sugar levels. Current reappraisal of what is a "normal" fasting blood glucose level is necessary to avoid the error of false-positive diagnosis of diabetes.
