Having high levels over a period of time can lead to poor blood glucose management, which is the hallmark of type 2 diabetes. Essentially, eating lentils can reduce that risk.\n<\/p>\n<p>Legumes contain components that inhibit enzymes involved in glucose absorption, and the fiber contained in these foods can stimulate the production of short-chain fatty acids, which <strong>they can also help lower blood glucose levels, Professor Duncan added.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00abWe hope that creating evidence for approval of a health claim for legumes will further encourage people to add legumes to their side dishes.\u00bb\n<\/p>\n<h2>Type 2 diabetes, do you have it?<\/h2>\n<p>Many people have type 2 diabetes without realizing it.
