Abstract
- Bananas which are not-overripe are usable in diabetic diets, like other fruits. This has been suggested after analysing the digestion and absorption from the small intestine of the carbohydrates of banana by using ileostomy subjects. The study showed that the total sugar content of bananas is 11.76% which is safe for diabetic diets. The response of blood sugar and serum insulin after the ingestion of samples are discussed.
