The effect of kelulut honey on fasting blood glucose and metabolic parameters in patients with impaired fasting glucose. Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism, 2019: 176018,. pp. 1-7. ISSN 2090-0732 (2019)
Abstract
Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) poses a higher risk of diabetes. Honey has been reported to improve metabolic abnormalities including lowering hyperglycemia. This study is sought at determining the effect of Malaysian Kelulut honey (KH)on fasting glucose levels and metabolic parameters in IFG patients. This quasi-experimental intervention study of 30-dayduration was conducted among 60 adult patients with IFG. They were allocated into taking 30 g/day KH group (experimental group,n=30) and not taking KH group (control group,n=30). Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, blood pressure (BP), fasting glucose, and lipid profile levels (total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein, and low-density lipoprotein) were measured before and after treatment.
