Terapeuttinen ruokakoostumus ja menetelmä verensokerin vaihtelun vähentämiseksi

摘要

A therapeutic food composition for treatment of diabetic patients to diminish fluctuations in blood sugar levels and prevent hypoglycemic episodes, comprising per unit about 20-50 grams of nutrients including a slowly absorbed or digested complex carbohydrate, preferably cornstarch; a more rapidly absorbed complex carbohydrate; protein; and fat, but substantially no simple sugars. Diabetic patients may be treated to diminish blood sugar fluctuations and prevent hypoglycemia via the administration of the novel food composition as an evening or pre-bedtime snack or during the daytime hours to patients receiving insulin therapy or engaging in activities that might provoke hypoglycemia.
