Brief Summary

Research studies have shown that lifestyle, in particular dietary aspects play an important role in

preventing / increasing the burden of the chronic diseases. Dietary habits could therefore be

modified to exert a positive impact in the prevention and treatment. It has been suggested that the

high glycemic carbohydrate foods – those foods containing carbohydrates which elicit rapid blood

glucose rise and thereby increase the insulin demand leading to hyperinsulinemia, insulin

resistance and type 2 diabetes. Hence, there is a need to understand the blood glucose raising

potential of foods in India to be of an important tool to aid in the prevention and 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 the food raises the blood glucose in a scale of 0 to 100, 100

indicating high glycemic index corresponds to oral glucose’s GI. Today, India leading the world with

the largest number of diabetic volunteers causing a heavy economic burden to the country urgently

need to look at cost effective strategies to combat this situation. A cost effective dietary approach

like estimating and understanding the role of glycemic index of various Indian foods in the lifestyle

related diseases like diabetes is urgently needed. Capillary blood glucose will be measured at 0, 15,

30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min using Hemocue Glucose 201+ analyzer (Hemocue®Ltd, Angelholm,

Sweden). Standard glucose drink will be given for 3 different days to get average glucose response

and each test food for 1 day with a wash out period of 2 to 3 days between each test day. The GI

was calculated as IAUC of test food/IAUC of reference (Glucose) food x 100.
