Effectiveness of regular oat β-glucan-enriched bread compared with whole-grain wheat bread on long-term glycemic control in adults at risk of type 2 diabetes: a randomized controlled trial.
Background: A high intake of whole grains is associated with reduced risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and soluble fiber from oats and barley, that is, β-glucans, has been shown to lower blood cholesterol and postprandial glycaemia. Despite such data and the European Food Safety Authority health claims supporting β-glucan-induced reductions in glucose and cholesterol, effectiveness in real-life settings among individuals at elevated risk of developing type 2 diabetes remains unclear.
Objectives: This study aims to assess the long-term effectiveness of daily consumption of β-glucan-enriched bread, compared with whole-grain wheat bread, on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and glycemic control in adults at risk of type 2 diabetes.
Methods: A 16-wk randomized, double-blind dietary intervention was conducted in 194 adults [58 ± 8 y; BMI: 32 ± 5 kg/m2; HbA1c 5.6% ± 0.3% (38 ± 3 mmol/mol); LDL cholesterol 3.6 ± 1.0 mmol/L] across sites in Germany, Norway, and Sweden. Participants consumed ≥3 slices/d of either β-glucan-enriched bread (6 g β-glucan/d) or control bread, 6 d/wk.
Results: After 16 wk, there was no significant between-group difference in HbA1c [Δ = -0.01%, 95% confidence interval (CI): -0.03, 0.06; P = 0.49]. Similarly, no differences were observed in fasting glucose (Δ = -0.02 mmol/L; 95% CI: -0.11, 0.14), insulin (Δ = -0.76 pmol/L; 95% CI: -0.99, 2.5), or LDL cholesterol (Δ = -0.11 mmol/L; 95% CI: -0.27, 0.05) (all P > 0.05).
Conclusions: Contrary to expectations from efficacy studies, this effectiveness trial does not support the metabolic benefits of oat-derived β-glucan-enriched bread under real-life conditions. A simple bread replacement may not be sufficient to improve glucose homeostasis in individuals at risk of type 2 diabetes. This trial was registered with clinicaltrials.gov as NCT04994327.

Encourage public health and epidemiologic studies relevant to human nutrition.
Promote innovative investigations of nutritional questions employing epigenetic, genomic, proteomic, and metabolomic approaches.
Include solicited editorials, book reviews, solicited or unsolicited review articles, invited controversy position papers, and letters to the Editor related to prior AJCN articles.
Peer Review Process:
All submitted material with scientific content undergoes peer review by the Editors or their designees before acceptance for publication.
