Brief Summary

Researchstudies have shown that lifestyle; in particular dietary aspects play animportant role in preventing / increasing the burden of the chronic diseases.Dietary habits could therefore be modified to prevent and treat diabetes . Ithas been suggested that the high glycemic carbohydrate foods – those foodscontaining carbohydrates which elicit rapid blood glucose rise and therebyincrease the insulin demand leading to hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance andtype 2 diabetes. Hence, there is a need to understand the blood glucose raisingpotential of foods in India to be of an important tool to aid in the preventionand or management of diabetes and its complication. Thus evolved the concept of‘Glycemic Index’ (GI) which ranks the foods, based on the speed at which thefood raises the blood glucose in a scale of 0 to 100, 100 indicating highglycemic index corresponds to oral glucose’s GI. Today, India leading the worldwith the largest number of diabetic volunteers causing a heavy economic burdento the country urgently needs to look at cost effective strategies to combatthis situation. A cost effective dietary approach like estimating andunderstanding the role of glycemic index of various Indian foods in thelifestyle related diseases like diabetes is urgently needed.Hence in the present study we aim toevaluate glycemic index (GI) of 3 varieties of Protein cookies with high fibreand omega 3 fatty acids, provided by Hershey India Pvt .Ltd. (Raisin flaxseeds, cocoa & flaxseeds and Mango almond).
