Determining the Glycemic Effects of Three Types of Spaghetti

Summary

This study investigated the effects of thee types of spaghetti No7 on the glycemic response

Conditions

• Potential Abnormality of Glucose Tolerance
• Appetitive Behavior

Interventions

OTHER

Glucose as reference food

Fourteen healthy, normal weight subjects after 10-14 hours fast, consumed 50g glucose diluted in 300ml water, tested two times, in different visits, within 5-10 min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.

OTHER

White bread

Fourteen healthy, normal weight subjects after 10-14 hours fast, consumed 50g available carbohydrates from white bread, along with 300ml water, tested two times, in different visits, within 10 min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.

OTHER

Regular spaghetti

Fourteen healthy, normal weight subjects after 10-14 hours fast, consumed 50g available carbohydrates from regular spaghetti No 7, along with 300ml water, tested once, within 10 min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.

OTHER

Whole wheat spaghetti

Fourteen healthy, normal weight subjects after 10-14 hours fast, consumed 50g available carbohydrates from whole wheat spaghetti No 7, along with 300ml water, tested once, within 10 min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.

OTHER

High fibre - low carbohydrates spaghetti

Fourteen healthy, normal weight subjects after 10-14 hours fast, consumed 50g available carbohydrates from high fibre - low carbohydrate spaghetti No 7, along with 300ml water, tested once, within 10 min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.
