Inhibition of Carbohydrate Absorption - The concept that retardation of the digestion of dietary carbohydrates would lead to a diminished postprandial glycemia, insulinemia and triglyceridemia in patients with diabetes and/or obesity has stimulated the development of a number of inhibitors. Dietary di-, oligo- and polysaccharides must be degraded to monosaccharides by intestinal glucosidases before they are absorbed.

Test meal experiments indicate a variability in the effect of dietary fiber in reducing postprandial glycemia that from leguminous sources seems particularly effective.
