Low molecular weight modified alginate and/or low molecular weight modified pectin, particularly modified citrus pectin (MCP), is useful in a composition for the treatment of diabetes, when administered to a diabetic individual. For instance, a composition comprising MCP is administered to an individual in an amount sufficient to reduce a parameter associated with diabetes severity, particularly levels of total blood glucose or triglyceride. The composition also may comprise well known pharmacologically acceptable agents, such as sulfured amino acids, cilantro, garlic, minerals, and herbs.
