Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a prevalent global health issue characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from inadequate insulin secretion or insulin sensitivity. This study addresses the challenges of type 2 diabetes, emphasizing dietary interventions to improve glycemic control. Specifically, the research explores the development and evaluation of a diabetic-friendly product containing whole wheat, barley, flaxseed, and cinnamon. A simple random sampling method was utilized to select 50 individuals for sensory evaluation of the product's acceptability. Results indicate favorable acceptability, suggesting the potential of the product as a practical and nutritious option for managing blood sugar levels. The incorporation of fiber and cinnamon aims to mitigate hyperglycemia by providing a low glycemic index alternative with anti-hyperglycemic properties. This research contributes to ongoing efforts in diabetes management, highlighting the importance of dietary interventions in supporting glycaemic control and improving health outcomes for diabetic individuals.
