Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Capillary blood glucose responses	2 hours	Clinically useful change in blood glucose, defined as the restoration of glucose within normal limits during the 2hr glucose tolerance test

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Subjective appetite ratings	2 hours	Useful change in subjective appetite using visual analogue scales with a score 0 to 10 (given in the form of booklet, one scale per page) at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120min. The minimum or maximum score will be evaluated if it is better or worse depending on the appetite variable e.g. hunger, satiety, desire to eat etc
Salivary insulin responses	2 hours	Clinically useful change in salivary insulin, defined as the restoration of insulin within normal limits during the 2hr glucose tolerance test
Blood pressure	2 hours	Useful change in systolic and diastolic blood pressure before and 2hr after consumption of the spaghetti products
