- Abstract
Worldwide, 3.2 million deaths are attributable to diabetes every year. The present study was to supplement wheat bran
and evaluate the effect of diabetic subjects. Thirty diabetic subjects were selected and divided into two groups of 15
each. Group A formed the experimental group to which 60 g of wheat germ was supplemented daily for a period of six
months. Group B constituted the remaining 15 diabetic subjects who served as control to whom no supplementation
was given. Fasting and post prandial glucose and glycosylated haemoglobin was evaluated initially and after the
supplementation period. Group A showed significance (P<0.01) difference over group B in all the biochemical test
performed.
