Changes in blood glucose, insulin, and HbA1c levels in diabetic rats fed a high-fat (DHF) and treated with three different polysaccharides (1P, 2P, and 3P).

	DHF	DHF+1P	DHF+2P	DHF+3P
Glucose (mg/dL)	368.0 ± 2.3	270.6 ± 2.5*	288.4 ± 1.7∗†	311.1 ± 1.3∗†
Insulin (μU/mL)	0.3 ± 0.1	0.9 ± 0.1*	0.8 ± 0.1*	0.6 ± 0.1∗†
HbA1c (%)	9.4 ± 0.5	5.6 ± 0.4*	5.9 ± 0.3*	6.3 ± 0.4∗†

Values are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 10). The ∗ indicates a significant difference compared to DHF group (P < 0.01) and † indicates a significant difference compared to DHF+1P (P < 0.01).
