Flavonoids are polyphenol compounds that exert many potential health benefits, including diabetes type-II, which is the third most common disease causes death, right after cancer and cardiovascular diseases. The excessively high level of blood glucose has been believed to trigger type II diabetes. aim this review describe flavonoid's ability as an alternative treatment for type-II patients. This paper addresses several aspects in flavonoids may impart a pivotal role starch digestion, such interaction with enzymes involved hydrolysis, inhibiting absorption, well form complex resistant hydrolysis. Further studies, however, suggested extensively carry out, particularly ones dealing intervention study using human volunteers reveal real applications. data on studies still rare can further be exploited meta-analysis have firmer results. food matrix more realistic perform effect other compounds, affect mechanism or their bioavailability.
