The invention relates to a carbohydrate mixture which is provided with at least one modified carbohydrate made of a base body and a carbohydrate residue coupled therewith. The base body is a digestable, glucose-containing carbohydrate in the form of a digestable glucan or a non-digestable storage carbohydrate, skeletal carbohydrate or low-molecular component thereof. The base body is coupled to a carbohydrate residue. Glucose release from the inventive carbohydrate mixture is thus reduced by at least 10 %, detected in an in-vivo digestion system based on pancreatine and compared to a carbohydrate mixture which contains the same amount of weight of non-modified carbohydrates. The postprandial blood glucose concentration increase after eating can be moderated by means of the inventive carbohydrate mixture. The glucose can thus be metabolised by diabetics in spite of the existing lack of insulin. The inventive carbohydrate mixture can be used in food for diabetics and in pharmaceuticals.
