Recently, glucomannan has been introduced as supplement for insulin resistance treatment.Glucomannan is a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide obtained from tubers of Amorphophallus konjac: it consists of molecules of D-glucose and D-mannose, and it is soluble and absorbs water up to 200 times its weight.Glucomannan exerts its activity by increasing the viscosity of food bolus during digestion: it creates a viscous gel that makes the bolus smooth and soft, and it forms a nondigestible coating around food particles
