Basically a person suffers from diabetes when Pancreas is not able to produce sufficient insulin. Insulin helps in controlling the glucose level in the body. When pancreas produces less insulin then glucose level in the blood increases and leads to high blood sugar level. This is the first stage of diabetes. Diabetes classified into two types:
Type I – This is called insulin dependent diabetes. In this patient has to take insulin injections regularly in order to control the diabetes. Mostly it occurs at an early age or in childhood, and then person has to depend upon insulin for the whole life.
Type II – This type of diabetes is called non-insulin dependent. It is sometimes called silent diabetes because its symptoms are not clearly visible. They can be detected at a very late stage or at the age of 40’s.

Both type of diabetes have generally similar symptoms so same restrictions and remedies are applied for both.

Beta glucan Lowers Blood Lipids

BERLIN—Barley beta-glucan reduces serum lipid levels, according to research presented in April at the First International Congress on Pre-Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome.

In the six-week study, 76 men and 79 women with hypercholesterolemia, aged

25 to 73, completed a four-week lowfat diet prior to baseline. At the beginning of the trial, test subjects were randomly allocated to one of four treatment groups or a control group and assayed for blood lipids and other cardiovascular disease (CVD) biomarkers. During the course of the study, test groups were administered 3 g and 5 g doses of low molecular weight (LMW) or high molecular weight (HMW) barley beta-glucan (from Cargill) twice daily, in cereal and juice.

Posttreatment assessment of blood lipids and other CVD biomarkers revealed improvements in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, markers of glycemic control

(glycosylated hemoglobin, HOMA model) and a key marker of inflammation

(hs-CRP).

The researchers concluded both doses of LMW and HMW barley beta-glucan improved blood lipids over a six-week treatment period.
