Abstract
This study investigated the impact of bread made with high-amylose barley flour on postprandial glucose responses in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Bread containing 50% RNAi-based amylose-only barley flour (AmOn) significantly lowered 4-hour postprandial glucose levels compared to wheat bread, 50% hulless barley bread, and 75% hulless barley bread. Bread with 75% hulless barley also showed a reduction in postprandial glucose compared to wheat bread. The study also observed beneficial effects on insulin and GIP responses. These findings suggest that incorporating high-amylose barley into bread could improve glucose regulation in individuals with T2D.
