Various Serving Sizes of Lentils on Blood Glucose and Insulin
- Conditions
- Healthy
- Registration Number
- NCT02940158
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Guelph
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of consuming either 1/2 or 1/4 cup servings of lentils on post-prandial blood glucose and insulin as compared to 4 types of starchy foods (corn, macaroni, white potato, white rice).
- Detailed Description
Eligible participants will undergo a total of 6 study visits. During each visit, a fasted blood sample will be taken by fingerprick, and approximately 500 µL of blood will be dripped into a collection tube. The participant will then consume a meal of either: two types of lentils, corn, macaroni, white rice, or white potato. All study days will be randomized. Each meal will be served in either 1/4 or 1/2 cup servings depending on the study block. Six more blood samples will be taken by fingerprick at 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after the beginning of the meal.
