Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Glycaemic response will be measured by taking finger prick blood samples. Blood samples will be collected into a HemoCue Registered Trademark cuvette (Helsingborg, Sweden). [At the beginning of each testing session, two fasting blood samples will be collected. A further 1 to 2 samples may be taken in instances where the two baseline readings are far apart (i.e. the two blood glucose readings are more than 0.2 mmol/L apart). Participants will then consume a 25 g glucose beverage (reference) or a test food (guava or papaya puree or bites) containing 25 g of available carbohydrate within 15 minutes. Blood samples will be collected at 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 minutes after the two initial blood samples. ]
