Summary

Scientists gave people with type 2 diabetes two kinds of soy drinks—one made from sprouted soybeans with spices, and one made from regular soybeans.

Proposed Mechanism
Inhibition of carbohydrate-digesting enzymes by soybean sprout isoflavones
Supported by evidence
Enhancement of insulin sensitivity via soybean sprout antioxidants and GABA
Suggested
Synergistic inhibition of DPP-IV by bioactive peptides from germinated soybeans
Supported by evidence
Delayed gastric emptying and reduced glucose absorption via dietary fiber
Suggested
Modulation of glucose metabolism by ginger and cinnamon bioactives
