Effect of Oats and Oat-Fiber on Glycemic Control in Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

摘要

Current approved health claims in Canada, US and Europe recognize the ability of oat ß-glucan to lower blood cholesterol; however, its ability to improve glycemic control is less certain. We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to update the evidence of the effect of oats and oat-fiber on markers of glycemic control in people with and without diabetes. Here we present data for the subgroup with diabetes.
