Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The primary outcome is the comparison of meal GIs obtained using two methods, direct measurement and estimation. Direct measurement involved measuring postprandial hyperglycaemia in response to a glucose reference beverage and to each of the meals at intervals over 2 hour periods. The GIs of each of the meals was subsequently calculated by expressing the blood glucose incremental area under the curve of each meal relative to the glucose reference beverage. Estimation involved determining the GIs of each of the carbohydrate foods contributing to the meals and summing the GIs according to a formula.[Two hours postprandially]
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The secondary outcome is to examine how the postprandial blood glucose concentrations obtained following the consumption of three test meals compare.[Two hours postprandially]
