Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>In order to examine the impact of potato versus pasta / rice consumption on<br /><br>chronic glucose metabolism the primary outcome parameter of this study is a<br /><br>change in average daily glucose concentration measured over a 15 hours period<br /><br>between waking up and going to bed 7:00AM - 22:00PM for three consecutive days.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>To investigate if potato consumption changes glucose metabolism, lipid<br /><br>metabolism and low-grade inflammation, general wellbeing, and vascular<br /><br>function.</p><br>
