Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a significant health risk worldwide, and effective management strategies are needed. Polyphenols exhibit diverse biological functions, are abundant in various plants, and influence carbohydrate digestion and absorption. This review provides a comprehensive overview of clinical evidence regarding the relationship between dietary polyphenols and the postprandial hyperglycemic response. Human intervention studies have demonstrated the benefits of polyphenol-rich foods in improving glucose and insulin metabolism, underscoring their role in preventing T2DM. These findings highlight the potential of polyphenol-rich foods for managing hyperglycemia and mitigating T2DM risk and provide insight into effective dietary strategies for glycemic control and overall health.

Effectiveness of different gums on modulating of glycemic indices in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
J Diabetes Metab Disord

Student Research Committee, Department of Food Science and Technology, Faculty of Nutrition and Food Science, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran.
Background: Functional foods have been widely used as the anti-diabetic agents worldwide. Existing studies presented conflicting results of anti-hyperglycemic properties of gums. This systematic review and meta-analysis study evaluated the existing trials and determined the efficacy of different gums on glycemic indices.

Background And Aim: Few real-life studies have analyzed the glycemic response to nutrients in individuals without diabetes. We investigated the glycemic response to evening meals in relation to individual characteristics, nutrient components, and preprandial and postprandial routines.
Methods: A cross-sectional study of 489 individuals without diabetes from a randomly selected general adult population (310 women, median age 46 years, range 18-84 years) was conducted using a continuous glucose monitoring device for 7 days.
Proposed mechanisms of action participating in the hypoglycemic effect of the traditionally used Lotsy and junceic acid, its main compound.

Article Synopsis
- Lotsy, a traditional medicine used by the Cakchiquels of Guatemala for type 2 diabetes, has shown hypoglycemic effects, primarily attributed to its main compound, junceic acid, which had not been previously reported for such activity.
- The study revealed that both Lotsy extract and junceic acid reduce blood glucose levels in rats by inhibiting key enzymes involved in glucose production, highlighting junceic acid's stronger effect compared to the known chlorogenic acid.
- While both compounds decreased insulin levels in various metabolic states, they did not enhance insulin's effectiveness; instead, their insulin-sensitizing effect appears to operate through the activation of the AMP-activated protein kinase
Morning Engagement of Hepatic Insulin Receptors Improves Afternoon Hepatic Glucose Disposal and Storage.

Glucose tolerance improves significantly upon consuming a second, identical meal later in the day (second meal phenomenon). We previously established that morning hyperinsulinemia primes the liver for increased afternoon hepatic glucose uptake (HGU). Although the route of insulin delivery is an important determinant of the mechanisms by which insulin regulates liver glucose metabolism (direct hepatic vs indirect insulin action), it is not known if insulin's delivery route affects the second meal response.

Introduction: Contradictory claims about the efficacy of several medicinal plants to promote glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have been explained by divergences in the administration form and by extrapolation of data obtained from healthy individuals. It is not known whether the antidiabetic effects of traditional herbal medicines are influenced by gelatin capsules. This randomized crossover trial aimed to evaluate the acute effect of a single dose of raw cinnamon consumed orally either dissolved in water as a beverage or as ordinary hard gelatin capsules on postprandial hyperglycemia (>140 mg/dL; >7.
